WHAT DO THEY FIND TO DO?

The Board of Freeholders seem to think that by stating that
the janitors employed by them to take care of the court house and
the county records building get only So a day they have disposed
Of that issue in the campaign. They say the matter is too petty
to be further considered.
No doubt the freeholders would like the taxpayers to over
look this deliberate waste of their money, but it is not so easily
forgotten. 1t is not a question of how much is paid these men, for,
as the Evening News said at the beginning, they are paid enough.
The question is, what do all these men who are hired as janitors
i'll the two county buildings find to do?
The freeholders, in a great squirt of economy to save the dear
taxpayers money cut off a few hundred dollars from the county
newspapers by publishing their monthly reports in the Perth Am
boy and New Brunswick papers on alternate months and thereby
making it impossible for the people to follow their transactions,
but when it comes to spending twelve or fifteen thousand dollars
a year maintaining a small army of ''janitors' around the county
buildings the desire for economy ceases. But, then, it is quite
necessary that the county machine be maintained in good run
ming order, and how better can this be done than by taking care
Of the faithful ones who can deliver the votes on election day?

MAKE THE APPRAISAL GENERAL

There is no need of entering into a controversy over the man.
ner in which a new appraisal of taxable property in this county
shall be made. AS long as the appraisal is made covering ALL
property fairly and honestly there can be no objection.
In his letter to the county tax board, Russell E. Watson un-
fortunately singled out the manufacturing plants for a starting
point, this evidently being the particular object of his clients,
johnson & johnson, of New Brunswick. But johnson G. johnson
have already protested against this method in the city of New
Brunswick, and what is unfair in New Brunswick is unfair in the
county.
But no matter what kind of an appraisal is made, there are
bound to be inequalities under our present system of taxation. A
factory building may be extremely valuable for the particular in
dustry that occupies it, but once tits abandoned by that indus
try it becomes practically worthless. The only fair method of
taxation is to base all assessments on the land, exempting all
buildings, machinery and fixtures. This is the Baltimore plan and
it is making that city extremely prosperous.

FOR PRESIDENT COOLIDGE TO THINK ABOUT

Governor Pinchot is proving a regular thorn in the side OF
President Coolidgels administration. The governors very frank
letter to Secretary Mellon, of the Treasury Department, puts the
enforcement squarely up to the federal authorities.
The Rresident asked for state cooperation in putting an end to
the present lawlessness when he entertained the governors at
luncheon the other day. He promised, in return, every assistance
that the federal authorities can give.
There is no doubt that Governor Pinchot is making an honest
effort to enforce the prohibition laws in Pennsylvania In the cam
paign that he is carrying on Governor P~inchotfnds that the law
lessness is due mainly to huge quantities of alcoholic liquids and
illegal drinks turned loose from plants operating under federal
permits. "These permits cannot be granted, revoked or dealt
with in any way by state authorities, !" the governor says.
The governor names numerous breweries that have violated
the law prior to 1923 and which are still doing business He also
names breweries that have been caught this year by the state police
violating the law, and which have been reported to the federal
authorities, but they are still operating under federal permits.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON
Cause of Heartburn

Some gas is present in the stom-
achs of most persons, to a greater
or less degree. This condition is
| usually most pronounced, not in all
cases, how ever, during the process
of digestion.
1t is hy nc mean an unnatural
condition. When the stomach is
busy mixing up the gastric juice
with what you have sent down, the
trouble is apt to occur. If your food
has been hastily chewed and swal-
lowed or If you have washed it down
with copious 6raughts of water, tea
or coffee, - hurry the process of
swallowing, you are likely to have
gas.
The kind of food also determines
to q certain extent what the amount
of a will be. Peaches or other acid
fruits, If eaten hastily, will often
cause rapid formation of gas in the
stomach, with a tendency to imitation
and heart pressure. Hot bread or
biscuits hastily eaten will also cause
gas during digestion.
The burning or gnawing sensation
which is called by many persons
heartburn is a result of this gas
formation and acid outflow. The
name really means heart pain, or
as many physicians term it, Car
dialgia.
The food tube, or esophagus enters
the stomach at the cardiac valve or
| opening which is rather in close
proximity to the heart. The pressure
C. the gas in the stomach often
| causes the acid material from the
| gastric juice to escape through the
| cardia into the lower esophagus. The
| regurgitative sensation, together
with the pressure. causes the uncom.-
Portable, rather irritating heartburn.
Occasional heartburn can moth
ing to worry over except your wv
bad eating habits. Careful attention
to the proper chewing of your food
and the right selection. avoiding
those foods which cause the disturb
ance, will usually suffice.
A simple home remedy which will
do much to relieve the acidity is
milk of magnesia-dose, a large
tablespoonful. Common saleratus
(bicarbonate of soda) may also be
used. A teaspoonful in water once
| or twice a day is beneficial. 1t may
cause belching. but it relieves the
condition.
Do not use a severe or harsh
physic as this may serve to agra
waite rather than relieve your heart
burn.

contrary has happened. England
has discovered that while the Ger
