wire Is being installed for the pur-
pose Of producing more power so
that more cars can operate at one
hme over The line especially on Sat-
urday and Sunday during the rush

depended on nothing but the over

wire is progressing with the plant

the loop from Arthur Kill road up
Bentley street to Elliott avenue,
down Main street again to Arthur

~ enough power to move the cars at
more than three or four miles an
hour.

With Musterole

Influenza. Grippe and Pneumonia
usually start with a cold. The moment
you get those warning aches, get busy
with good old Musterole.
Musterole is a counter-irritant that
relieves congestion (which is what a
coldreallyis ) and stimulates circulation.
It has all the good qualities of the
old-fashioned mustard plaster without
the lister.
Just rub it on with your ~finger-tips.
First you will feel a warm tingle as the
healing ointment p~enetrates the pores.
then a soothing, cooling sensation and
quick relief.
Have Musterole handy for emergency
use. 1t may prevent serious illness.
