MELANCHOLY DAYS
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

They are here-the gray days. 'the saddest of the year"-those that the poets write about, of ''wailing winds and naked woods and meadows brown and scar"
 These are the kind of days when the little blue devils are all about and the spirits get below par. asked three people what they did on days like these that come at various times during the winter.
 One of them was a clerk and sten- ographer. "Of all the days in the year, I choose the melancholy ones in which to walk. In the morning somehow or other, when I am out In the grayness of 1t, 1t doesn't seem 80 dark and dreary as when I am in doors.
 50 that after I leave the office and before I get my dinner I take a long walk. The air braces one up. and when step brishly my blood tingles and almost immediately I lose sight of the fact that it has been gray. At night I read and so the days pass" L
 A mother of children told me: "rhe way l get over the gray days is to keep very busy. I take up some work that I have laid aside during the summer-a nice piece of embroidery or something that Is very pleasing for me to do. and I do it on these particular days. The very pleasure of the work takes the place of the sunshine that ought to be there.
 "The minute I find myself getting the least bit sad or spiritless l so at an interesting thing that I have long wonted to do and have not done for lack of time. Trimming hats is one of these things. What better fun can ha n n hat-and the time flies so fast. used to be so downhearted on gloomy days, and this Is the way that I have worked 1t out so as not to notice them"
 But the best way to meet tho mel ancholy days was given to me by & little crippled girl. shut-in. who can go out very little and who may only do certain things. This is what she told me:
 "I know they are coming. these days when the sun doesn't shine. and when I first had to stay in they were the most trying times to bear. But now I sometimes even look forward with pleasure to their coming.
 T begin to do thinge for others, not for myself. I think of all my friends and I make little gift for each one, whether 1t be sewing or knitting or writing 8 letter. And I send 1t to them immediately. I do not wait for Christmas or any other special occasion. I just make up my mind that during these ugly days l am going to do something nice for somebody. and somehow the day goes so fast in the pleasure of making these things"
 And while you and I may not be able to make hats or write letters or work out little gifts for friends there is something about the whole idea of doing something for some body that dispels gloom at any time
 If you are down in the dumps and things seem all huddled up in a cor ner, whether 1t be during these sum-

You seev the funny man said, You have eaten so many icicles and they have melted so that all your cotton stuffing be- came wet, then, as you sat there, you froze to the ice covered floor! So you see? While 1t was right for you to enjoy yourselves and be happy with just what you had still 1t was wrong for you to sit down and get forzen to the floor"

 hold Remedies FOd Coughs And Colds
 For cold in the chest vaseline and red pepper is a good home rem edy and makes a capital counter ir- ritant. The chest is first bathed in water as hot as can be borne to thoroughly open the pores, the pep per and vaseline are then mixed and well rubbed in, after which the parts are covered with a layer of cotton or flannel.
 An excellent home remedy for sim pie coughs consists of one table spoonful of powdered licorice, one teaspoonful of gum arabic, one cup ful of hoarhound and molasses, one half cupful of vinegar.
 The licorice and gum arabic are dissolved in a little water first, the hoarhound Is boiled thoroughly in a quart of water and then strained with the molasses; boil this with the other ingredients, adding the vinegar when the mixture is well cooled.
 The dose is teaspoonful every two or three hours. It soothes the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract and allays the congestion. Bathing the chest and back with cold salt water for 10 or 15 minutes, rubbing briskly with a Turkish towel, deep breathing exercises in the open air, are all powerful aids in combating a cough and restoring tone to the whole system.
 Hoarseness and sore throat may al- so be forerunners of more serious condition. Persistent loss of the voice should be a warning as 1t is usually one of the first symptoms of tuberculosis of the larynx. 1nhala- lions of oil of eucalyptus and oil of turpentine In the form of a vapor are very beneficial-about tablespoon full of each Is added to pint of water which Is placed in a croup ket- tie or any kettle with a long spout. The steam or vapor as it escapes is then breathed into the throat. Repeat this every few hours
 A well-known remedy for hoarse- ness consists of the beaten white or an egg, the juice of lemon and enough powdered sugar to sweeten. The lemon cuts the phlegm, the egg albumen soothes the irritated mem brane and the sugar Is healing. In the south, the pure juice of pine apple Is used in throat conditions of very serious character, including diphtheria, and proves remarkably efficacious.
 Another home remedy consists of two tablespoonfuls of sweet oil mixed with two tablespoonfuls of sugar; a little is taken every half hour. It loosens the phlegm and facilitates its removal.
 These simple homo remedies If employed at once will often allay an acute condition, so preventing the Initial trouble from developing into one of the diseases so likely to at tack the throat and lungs.

way to throw off moody thoughts and miserable moments Is to get busy on some little kindness for somebody. There Is something about the very act itself which reacts on one's own subconscious self and before you know. 1t the dreariness has disap- peared and there Is hope in the heart. And when you have created the spark of hope you can no longer be sor- rowful.
 It is likeness and too much time for reflection and self-pity that cause all the downhearted feeling. And the best way to get out of it is to forget one's self and think of somebody alaA

When My Brain Bucks

I sit down to write and I find that my brain is dormant; I urge it with might and with main. My think-tank Is empty and nothing will come. My pencil I bite and my fingers I strum. No use! Nothing doing! It's certain I'm stuck. I frown and I growl and I rail at my luck. Then into my face I will put a cigar. At once ideas come and-oh, we'll there you are! A couple of puffs and my thoughts start to flow. The wheels have been greased and they've started to go. I puff once again and the thoughts seem to shoot straight through my old nog- gin and each is a beaut. My pencil gets busy; soon after I find my muse. once so backward, has been very kind. A rhyme has been writ ten-my work is all through. Which all goes to show what a good smoke can do. It may be, dear reader, you loaths a cigar. It may be that

South AmbOy To Pay
Tribute TOMr. Harding

SOUTH AMBOY, Aug. S:-Mayor
Daniel c. Chase in a proclamation
issued from his Office this morning
urges that Friday of this week,
which is the day set for the burial of
President Harding, be solemnized in
a manner fitting to the memory of
the dead chieftain. He asks that the
people of this city, In every instance,
assemble at the house of worship on
Friday morning at II o'clock where

prosperity Of the American public.
The resolution is as follows:
The City of South Amboy mourns
deeply the passing of President
Harding and bows in sorrow before
the visitation of Almighty God.
The distinguished public services
of the late President and the charm
of his personality cannot be recalled
without a quickening of the pulse of
a broader humanity and a more ex-
allied patriotism.
A man of the people and one of
us by birth, education and sentiment,
he was Is accessible in the White
House as he had been in his less i'm
portant walks of life, always remain
ing an affectionate, endearing and
loving Christian gentleman.

sincere desire to do his full duty,
~uniahuenced. by ignoble motives, to-
ward the American people who had
honored him with the highest trust
In our nation.
In the fullness of life and in the
midst of official service Warren
Harding answered the Divine sum-
mons. 1t is fitting that every mark
of public respect should be paid to
his memory.
By presidential proclamation Aug
ust 10, when the body of the depart
ed President will be laid at rest. has
been designated a day of prayer AS
a reminder to the people in all
walks of life, you are urged to re-
traln from any activity or excite
ment tending to divert your minds

The funeral of Winfield D. Geran,
fifty-three years old, who died sud
denly at his home in Main street
after an extended illness at 1890
o'clock Friday, was held from his
late home Monday afternoon at 2
O'Clock. The funeral sermon was
preached by DR.. Charles H. Bruce,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, and interment was in Rose
Hill cemetery. Mr.. Geran followed
the plumbing business and had
many friends in this borough and
throughout this section OF the state.
He had considerable inventive abil-
ity and for long periods of time was
employed by industries and firms in
Perth Amboy. Besides his wife, he
is survived by one son. Alton, and
his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Geran.
The fact that Herbert Magee, a
local colored man. has been released
from the county jail at Freehold on
a prisoners release bond, drawn at
the request of Borough Attorney
Jacob r. v. NJ. Lefferts, has been
the of much ~unfavorable com
ment in this borough. Magee was
sentenced to thirty days in the coun-
ty Jail by Recorder Gustav Cess
vein on a drunk and ~disorderly
charge and according to the recorder
