YOUR HEALTH
By DIR. CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON
Bilious Attacks

e. r. " | o DAaAOAo
In some parts of ouy country the
term "b~iliousness" or bilious at
tack" has rather a broad and indefi-
mite meaning. More northerly parts
of our country employ the term
gastritus in speaking of this toxic
attack in the intestines. In certain
low-lying sections. where malaria is
quite prevalent, the laymen often
confuse the two terms. Many people
still believe that it Is brought about
by a change in the weather, especial
ly from summer to autumn.
In former years, when people were
accustomed to use coarse or plain
food, troubles from poor digestion
and constipation were much less
common than at present. Indiges-
ton of some food material, which
causes stagnation of the intestinal
stream, is the forerunner of a bill
ious attack.
When digestion goes wrong from
~over-eating or acute catarrhal con
ditions of the mucous membrane of
the intestines, elimination from the
body is delayed and the toxic poi
son are rapidly absorbed from the
intestines. These toxic poisons find

to the general circulation.
There is headache, loss of appetite
and nausea. The tongue is coated,
the breath bad and there Is pain In
the stomach and back. Vomiting of
food is followed by that of bilious
secretions, there is much weakness
and the skin is sallow.
The attack usually passes in a few
days, the source of trouble being re-
moved by a ~purgative and weak al
kaline fluids to sooth the irritated
mucous membrane of the intestines.
Continue light diet for a few days.
To avoid bilious attacks, be care
full of your food and habits OF eat
ing. In other words, avoid indiges-
ton and constipation which induce
these attacks by knowing your own
system, its condition and require
mentS.
There is no n diet that will suit
all cases. A proper proportion OF
fine and coarse foods. not forgetting
the bulky ray vegetables, will usu-
ally prevent the bowels from becom-
ing sluggish.

err than can be seen with the mi
croscope. 1t does not by magnifca-
cation but by very bright illumina-
ton. The bodies are seen only as
bright specks. 1t is claimed thai

These molecules contain a large
number OF atoms. a hundred or so.

may develop in this connection has
been forecast by a recent contro-
versy between the state of New York
and Pennsylvania wherein one state
manifested considerable Jealousy
over the circumstance that power
generated by it's streams was being
transmitted out of the state and used
In another jurisdiction.
However, the officials working on
the problem hope that a general ap-
probation of the community of in
terest of all American common
wealtbs in obtaining more and
cheaper facilities for industry and in
bringing the greatest possible mea-
sure of progress for the benefit of all
will smooth out factional jealousy
and make possible a super-power
development which will go far to-
ward improving American life.

SAY MUCH BUT TELL NOTHING

The reply of the Board of Freeholders to Edmund A. Hayes,
chairman of the Middlesex County Democratic Committee takes
up a great deal of space without saying much of anything, The
REPLY is, in effect, an attempt to draw a red herring across the
trail, clouding the issue. After all, the voters are not particularly
Interested in whether or not the representative of Mr.. Hayes was
treated courteously or not when he called at the county offices to
secure facts and figures; what the people want are the facts and
figures. These the ~freeholders do not give,
1t takes about two columns for the freehoders to tell what
d rough person Mr.. Hayes's representative was, and how the en-
ployes in the county treasurer's office tried to treat him courteous
lly, but he would not have it so. There is an effort to drag in the
State Highway Commission, and the statement ends with the decla-
ration that the board stands perfectly willing to throw its books
omen to anyone who applies in an orderly, decent and courteous
manner.'
But all of this does not get us anywhere. The charge is made
by those in a position to know that there are now ten Jantors en-
ployed in taking care of the two county buildings. This includes
only the court house and the county records building, and has
nothing whatever to do with the sheriffs office or the Jail. Do
I The freeholders consider it a piece of impudence to ask them wheth-
er this is SO or notY And if this is SO, how much is their payroll
\ padded in other directons9
The freehoders are very soHcitious about the taxpayers when
financial reports of the board, and every saving is to be commend
& ed. The Evening News has no fault to find. But when it is so
x apparent that there are so many other ways for saving the tax
payers money running into the thousands of dollars, the saving on
the publication of the financial reports which gives the people the
information they are entitled to, becomes rather Insignificant.
Granted that MI. Hayes is delving into the county affairs for
political purposes, if everything is all right in the way the affairs
are being conducted the freehoders have nothing to fear, and a
clear statement of facts will vindicate them and spike the guns of
The opposition. To dodge the real issue and attempt to ignore
the facts as the ~freeholders have done in their reply to Mr.. Mayes
which was published Saturday, is only going to create an even
greater demand for the facts.

With the approaching special cleo
ton, the first one tomorrow TO: the

also the sewer question on November
thirteenth, it would not seem amiss
to repeat the figures as to the pub
lie expenditure cited by ex-President
Harding on his western trip in which
he brought out the following appal-
ling comparisons: Estate taxes nave
increased 161 percent from 1913
1921, city taxes T6 per cent. and
county taxes 1877 percent. Bond is
sues have increased the indebted
ness of counties and other units by
ever greater percentage" The rule
of thrift laid down by Mr.. Harding
quoted herewith Is surely praise
worthy advice: "If you have debts
reduce them as rapidly as possible
if you are one of the fortunate few
who have no debts make it a rule
to save something every year. Keep
your w everlastingly on those who
administer your governmental units
for you, your town, your county,
your state and national government.
Make them understand that you are
applying the rule of thrift and saw
ings in your personal affairs and re-
quire them to apply 1t In their man
agement of your public affairs"

concerned it would seem inadvisable
to purchase additional ground for

sILzER As GOVERNOR AND las PoLITIoIAl

# Governor Shzer appears to better advantage when he rises
gabove politics and is battling for the people. As soon as he puts
aparty first he falls greatly in public estimation. Sitting in the gov
Eernor's chair looking after the welfare of the state Silzer is at his
lbest. He is a fearless fighter, he is independent in action, and he
Ahas the people behind him. Because his cause has been right he
has won even against the greatest odds. His victory in the high
way commission fight, and his success in bringing about a settle
Hment Of the trolley strike are two shining examples of what he can
do when politics do not have to be considered.
But another campaign is on. Governor Silzer as leader of the
democratic party in the state feels it his duty to go on the stump to
help elect the Democratic ticket. He thus steps down from his
lofty position as governor and becomes an ordinary political spell
binder. He was particularly unfortunate when he went into Mon
mouth county last week and launched a wholly unwarranted attack
#on Senator Stevens, who is a candidate for reelection ON the Re-
publican ticket. Senator Stevens was the leader of the Republican
majority in the senate last year, and as such headed the delega-
of senators who went to the governor following the latter's
memorable speech in which he announced his dismissal of the old
State Highway Commission, and offered to work with the gov
lernor in cleaning up the situation by putting a high class commits
Ssion in charge of the states highways.
This was a bold and unprecedented thing for a Republican
header to do, and Senator Stevens won the enmity of the leaders
iof his party for his action. No one will ever know what pressure
Twas brought to bear on the senator from Monmouth in an effort to
|get him to change his mind. He defed them all, however, and
stood firm for principle and for what he believed to be the right.
Silzer himself was not slow to acknowledge the service
That Senator Stevens has performed for the state and he declared
that it was men Of the Stevens type that the people should choose
for public office.
But that was when the governor was thinking of the welfare
3of the state and not the welfare of the Democratic party alone.
Nov that the governor has been dragged down to the level of the
politician he goes into Senator Stevens county and
makes a bitter attack upon the senator which is entirely beneath
ithe high standard the governor had established for himself. Gov
crnor Silzer has done more to hurt himself than he has to hurt
Senator Stevens. The people of Monmouth county are not to be
fooled. They doubtless realize by this time what a high class man
they have representing them in the senate at the present time, and
lie they are wise they will re-elect him for another term with a ma
'jonty double what be received three years ago. 4s

The greatest power so far discovered by man is electricity.
We all know this instinctively. That's why we get a creepy
feeling up our spines when we are caught out in a storm and
see electricity in its natural state-lightning-as in the accom-
panying pen-picture by Artist Satterfeld.
It's so often said that we live in an Electrical Age.
Yet, despite the many ways electricity has been harnessed,
only Ill million people-of the worlds total population of
at least 100 millions-live in electrically lighted houses.
OF these Ill millions, 80 millions are Americans.
Here is a gigantic power, waiting to serve us. But we have
barely started to Il harness it. In electricity you see The Future
Power, though, as usual, it is taking a fearfully long time to
get a wonderful discovery into general use.
