SERIOUS WATER SHORTAGE
At COUNTY WORKHOUSE


NEW BRUNSWICK, July II. -
The extreme dry weather of the early
summer caused a serious shortage in
the water supply at the county
workhouse, and to prevent a future
reoccurrance of that condition the
Board of F~reeholders have decided
to provide a suitable tank to carry
a reserve supply.
At the present time n man Is
continually kept busy operating the
pumps, but the shortage is more ap-
parent each day and a $4,000 gal
Ion tank will be procured and erec-
ted as an emergency reservoir. Bids
are to be asked for on the work as
it is the intention to erect it early
In the fall.
The workhouse was built to ac-
commodate forty prisoners but at
the present time the place is over
crowded, there being eighty : two
prisoners in custody, seven of whom
are women. Warden Masterson
yesterday that the number of
inmates at the institution continues
to increase and that during the last
one hundred and forty-one

A. Lovely Post No. So, American
Legion, will run the much talked of
excursion to Coney Island. The
probable dhte will be August 1s
which is the third Saturday in Au-
gust. The affair will be a moon
light one, like the affairs held in
bygone days. when South Amboy
staged three or four a year. At an
adjourned meeting of the post to-
night the ANAL action will be taken
on the matter. The steamboat
Grand Republic will be chartered
for the occasion. This Is an excep-
tionally large craft and one of the
most ~up-to-date vessels afloat to-
day.
It's interesting to note the inter-
est manifested by the people at
large over the prospect of running
an excursion from this city. In fact
1t was at the request of people out
side the ranks of the American Lee
gion, that suggested that the local
post take the matter up. The post
entertainment officer has been in
charge of the arrangements thus far
and will make his final report at
the meeting tonight.
Unless something unforeseen ham
pens, the Grand Republic will steam
up to what Is known as the freight
dock at the Pennsylvania Railroad
coal piers about DOR on Saturday,
August Is. After she is loaded with
her human cargo, she will again
steam out into the channel and
after a short cruise will dock at a
pier in Coney Island, where she will
leave for home at IL o'clock that
evening.

feet, She was simply clad, in a long
sleeved jacket of light-blue silk, bor-
dered with black, and quaint trou-
sers of the same material. 1t dawn

her in wonderment, that she was of
a class superior to that to which he
was accustomed, that her skin was
rather white than olive, and that she
was possessed of a beauty he had
never imagined possible in a Chinese
girl. Her hands were small and
well-formed.

DEFORMITIES

 The soft bony structure of child hood is not only affected by proper exercise and proper nourishment put also by proper clothing. In thls respect the boy is less hamperee reg than the girl for from shoes to hat his clothing to hide his nakedness. He is never conscious of his clothes. They never interfere or obtrude upon his joy of life in any manner what soeyer. and he sheds them with the same aplomb and abandon, wher he gets q chance, as bird sheds us feathers.
 Coat girls shave the freedom of their brothers tosome extent they would be healthier in body and mind' The self-consciousness of girls mas much to do with their physical im- perfections This causes them, aside from many other things to which It gives rise. to assume peculiar atti- tudes to strike ridiciuous poses, and to throw the body out of plumb, un- der the mistaken belief that such distortions add to their attractions.
 When q boy is forced to carry his school books-he is usually not gwen to boring over his studies-he throws them over his shoulders and lets his back carry the burden. A girl nat urally hooks her arm and, by rest ing her weight on one hip. throws her entire body out of alignment, both knees being forced inward; And Na that she maintains throughout her entire formative life which are cal culated to bring about the condition of knock-knees. It depresses one shoulder and elevates the other, 1t affects the hip in similar manner and tends to unhinge the spinal vertebrae.
 Weak muscles, careless pastures. the prolonged retention of positions that cause abnormal curves of the spine and paralysis of certain groups curvatures in neglected children.
 The prevention of spinal deviation is extremely important. Gymnastic exercises and caution to assume cor rect pastures. whether at school or at work. should be enforced. Even the slightest deviatons should be treated. as they can be cured, and there is always the danger that they may grow worse. The use of dumb bells, Indian clubs and massage are valuable in developing the muscles.
 A weak, skeletal frame can be made strong with a proTer diet. But proper diet and an abundance of joyous exercise in Gods out of doors make an irresistible combination be- fore which every physical weakness must succumb.
