Health Talks
SELLING DOPE

What a physician should do as
= ceiling agent or what he should
charge for his personal services is
I, matter of professional judgment
and Willingness on the part of the
patient to pay for services rendered.
IL the task has been great and the
patient completely cured, he is will
ing to pay almost anything for his
health.
But let me sound note of warm
ing to laymen. Paying so-called
doctors, professors, medical direc-
tors, fakirs or others for what Is
called dope" meaning worthless
stuff or cure-a'ls, is absolutely
useless.
Believe in your physician. He
will guide and direct you in all af-
fairs of health. If other services,
greater than he is able to give, are
required. he will direct you to re-
liable specialists.
Some of the dope-you can have
fine head of hair, even if you are
bald. You can bask in the sunshine
of youth with new glands. You can
plaster mud on your face and have
IA youthful complexion. You can
swallow one of the tablets at night
and your influenza or cold will be
gone by morning. You can eat any,
thing you want and it won't hurt
you bit; try our free treatment,
that's a good one.
This additional advice was offered,
also free: mot to believe in what
your physician tells you.p
These are a few of the wonder
cures.
Don't let catchy lads" of this
kind lead you astray. Dsappoint-
ment is in store for you IL you do.
They even send out movies now to
get you. Any question on such fake
remedies will be gladly answered by
reliable medical journals. All you
have to do is send one to them with
two-cent stamp enclosed and your
wonderful remedy will be dlssected.

Q. Why Is 1t necessary to buy an
ointment in order to get a sulphur
tonic for. the hair? G. G.
A. By many authorities sulphur
is given preference over all other
tonic agents for application to the
scalp. On account of the insolu-
bility of sulphur, 1t can not be used
in liquid form for treatment of
scalp disorders so must be applied
as an ointment.

A. From 1886 to 1903, there were
fifty-three revolutionary outbreaks

including New Brunswick, Plain
field, Milltown, and so on. The aim
should be to make the waterfront
here attractive to 'sdustry so that
new concerns will come here to To-
cate because of the first class facili-
ties offered for all kinds of trans
r rtation. How best to serve the
industries so that the city may de-
rive the benefit of having them To-
Gated here is the problem that
must be solved BIT to solve it
there must be a great deal of study
Il expert ..1oF~e.
Perth Amboy wants this problem
solved, and 1t ought to be solved at
once. There Is a chance now to have
thirty-foot rannel up the Rari-
tan river for distance of 400 feet
beyond the railroad bridge. Once
this channel is started, 1t will not
be difficult to have deeper chan
mel all the way to New Brunswick,
at least as far as the government
arsenal. The Board OF Aldermen
will be showing the right spirit II it
makes provision for a comprehensive
survey of the harbor in the budget
for next year. BY taking this ac-
ton at once, passing a resolution at
the next session announcing It's In
tention to do so, the action can be
laid before the Board of Army En-
gineers and such action will ct.rry
great weight in securing favorable
action on the thirty-foot channel.
1t is a small thing for the city to do
compared with the possible results.
Judging from the sentiment ex-
pressed on the inspection trip Sat
utday, the aldermen have made up
their minds to do this. 1t will be
a big step forward in the develop
ment of the city.

LET EVERYBODY HELP

LEI EVER bOOX HE'LL
The Red Cross can hardly help
being satisfied with the showing
made on saturfry, which was Tag
Day in the drive being made for
funds. Over eleven hundred dol
lars were collected in nickels. dimes
and quarters, showing how the small
contributions amount up if they are
numerous enough. The Red Cross
fund Is now nearly $1,000. and 1t
ought to pass that amount before
the work stops. There is not a more
worthy cause to give to.
1t is particularly gratifying to
have such a large sum raised in
small amounts because 1t shows that
1'early everybody has had part in
these contributions. This Is as it
should be. There is no reason why
all the funds raised IN this city
should be contributed by the same
comparatively small number of
people.
Wages are high In this city today.
The great army of workers are av-
eraging forty-five to fifty dollars a
Y oP They TN 81 well afford to
give something to the worthy causes
as the appeal is made. Time was
when t averagc man felt that he
had all that he could do to make
ends meet. Perhaps, he still thinks
SO, but there is no denying that his
s ndard OF living is much higher
Hundreds now have an automobile
who never thought of owning one
few years ago. These people
have never felt that there was any
obligation on their part to contribute
to the funds that are raised an
nually. They have been willing to
let certain element make the con-
tributions, while they have pro-
ceeded to spend their money on
themselves.
The time has come when this
should be Gianged. The man work.
Ing ovcralls is often making more
money these days than the white
collar man, yet it Is usually the
white collar man " comes across
Y n a campai~@ for funds Is on
Perhaps this is not the fault of the
man in overalls because it has been
7ier to re- the white collar
man, and then, too. the average man
in overalls has not beer in the habit
of contributing excepting in groups
or societies. No doubt many of these
workers would be perfectly willing
to give something If approached.
Some of them always ha"e given.
But with the proper kind of organ
ization and a canvass that covers
everybody, there is no doubt that
great deal more money could be
raised, and he contributions will
come from a much V der circle as
| they should.
The Red Cross has shown what
organization will do. These various
institutions and funds for which
| financial aid is asked are beneficial
to the whole city, and everyone in
the city as far as possible ought
to help maintain them. The more
we get away from the idea that the
responsibility of making every drive
success rests with certain few
each time, the better it will be for
the city.

As 1t Appears
A Trim Little Yacht

N IfIIu thtliC Il dtiit
That is a mighty trim little yacht
the State Board of Commerce and
Navigation has on which to tour
around in New Jersey waters. Some
question has been raised as to the
expense of maintaining the craft.
No doubt 1t does take some money
to keep it in commission. but, then,
state board that has to do with
waterways must have some kind of
a conveyance to carry them about.
Often it is desirable to take out Wis
iting officials. or to show influential
persons from different parts of the
country what wonderful advantages
New Jersey has to offer for water
front development. AS the State
Board of Commerce and Navigation
has the leasing of all riparian lands,
it is to it's advantage to advertise
and exhibit what it has to dispose
of to the best advantage possible. OF
course, trips of this sort might be
taken in any kind of an old tub,
but would such a manner of en-
tertaining be in keeping with the
dignity and prosperity of the great
state of New Jersey? Any kind of
an old building might do for state

same thing applies to the kind of a
vessel used by the State Board OF

use Saturday afternoon when it took
party of Perth Amboy officials
out on an inspection of the water
front here. New Jersey could
hardly afford to have anything less

Political Dinners

Mayor Frank Hague. of Jersey
City, is trying to discourage the Civ
ing of political dinners. He blames
it all on the women. 1t seems that
the brand of politics served up in
Hudson county requires a lot of
eating. Dinners in honor of some
one or other are particularly popular.
When the women got into politics,
according to Mc"or Hague. they
overdid the matter and got to quar-
reling about the dinners besides. 1t
seems that Mamie Smith had to go
to a dinner in honor of the county
judge because Gladys was going. And
Gladys was irWtated because she
appeared in evening gown. Then
she almost quit politics because only
500 attended her dinner at $40 a
plate and 500 went to Marion's at
$19. Mayor Hague is frequently ap-
| pealed to to straighten out these
little difficulties. and he is finding
| 1t extremely hard to keep his ma
chine IN running order. These wom-
en- are continually stirring up row.

Why the Lantern?

There is that lantern still hanging
on the pile of building material at
the corner of Market street and the
city hall park where the Baptist
church is being built. No one has
come forward yet to tell what 1t is
there for. During the day one would
naturally suppose that 1t was in
tended to be lighted at night so as
to keep vehicles from running into
the material. This stuff is in a
dangerous position and there is a
great deal of travel there. But as
the lantern is never lit at night, it
cannot be placed on the pile for that
reason. Just what is that lantern
there for, anyway?

Good Work by Police

The police did good work over the
weekend in cleaning up some of the
disorderly places about the city. Now
if they would get after some of the
bootleggers and put them out of
business, they would deserve still
more praise. At least they might
drive this lawless business out of
the residential districts where the
nightly operations keep honest peo-
pie awake. The letter published in
the Evening News yesterday ought
to be hint enough. 1t would not be
difficult to locate the place referred
to in that letter. The police must
certainly know about it. Why is the
traffic permitted to go on so openly
without being molested?
