WHY WOMEN LOOK 60 AT 40.

With dark circles under their eyes sallow complexion, drawn express sions, dropping shoulders, a tagging step, many women of forty have the appearance of women of sixty. In many cases this condition is caused by overwork or neglect of such warning symptoms, as headaches backache, nervousness, displace- ments, and irregularities which in- dicate ailments peculiar to women. If all women so afflicted would only rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound it would restore and the premature signs of age will soon disappeaf.

BIC SUMMER FOR.
YIN. c. A. BOYS.
Camps in Mountains Will Be
Welcomed by Thou
sands This Year

AS the schools close the boys and
girls of this community will scatter
to many parts of the state and coun-
try, some going to seaside resorts,
others to the mountains while
many will go to camps conducted by
various organizations.
The story of the Y. NJ. c. A. camp
life reads like romance for from
seven boys and a leader under can
vas In 1885 it has grown to over
100000 bows in the Association
camps In the United States. Canada
and other nations.
For many years New York and
New Jersey boys camped together
until 1t was necessary to have two
separate camps. In 1901 Charles T.
Kilborne. East Orange. chairman of
the state boys work committee and
Charles r. Scott, Newark. the state
secretary for boys work, organized
the New Jersey forces for a sepa-
rate camp while the New York boys
continued under the leadership OF
the New York state committee.
In those early days there we're
no permanent camp sites and very
meagre equipment. Today Mr..
Scott at the state Office reports that
the permanent property Of the New
Jersey camps Is valued at $751;, 900
while the equipment Is placed at
$128,000 making total of $4,000
invested by state. county. city and
college committees for the safe
guarding and upbuilding of boyhood.
This year will see another advanced
step in the Improvement of prop
erty and equipment for at the state
camp at Wawayanda on July IL a
new concrete swimming dock, fully
equipped with five spring boards.
three shoot-the-shoots. and two high
dives also boat house with ten new
boats. will be presented to the state
committee. This is the gift OF the
Samuel Bird Estate of Passaic
through the interest taken In the
camp by Lewis Bird when boy In
1908.
Kamp Karney conducted by the
Carney's Point Association has
erected a new dining lodge at cost
OF $4,000 and new water system
has also been provided. Kamp Kia-
mesha the Newark Association

the Trenton. and Mercer county
boys. The Morristown Association
has been seeking a new location and
discovered a delightful lake in the
Schooley Mountains near Long Val
ley.
The national committee on stand
ardization has communicated with
every camp in the country urging
100 per cent. participation In the
program. There Is a strong desire
on the part of each New Jersey
camp to standardize every branch
including administration. organiza-
stion. program and equipment. This
will be another long step in advance.

TRENTON, June 24:-New Jersey
and New York have the lowest in
FAINT death rates of any eastern state
according to a statement today by
the New Jersey State Department of
Health. The provisional statistics of
the United States Children's Bureau
indicate that the infant death rates
of New Jersey and New York are
lower than any of the states in the
United States with the exception of
certain middle and far western
states. New Jersey is credited with
seventy-two infant deaths per thou
sand of live births, according to the
federal bureau, while the New Jer-
sey registrar Of vital statistics re-
ports figure of 71.9 per thousand
live births.
The infant death rate for New
Jersey is lower than that of last
year, and the number of counties
which have death rate less than 80
per 1000 births is greater than last
year.
Only one county, Salem, has an in
FAINT mortality rate over 100, where
as In 1918 1t was said fifteen coun-
ties had such a rate. In that year
but one county had an infant death
rate under eighty. In 1922 there
were twelve counties with death
rates under eighty and in 1923,
fourteen counties.
The lowest infant mortality rate
was in Bergen county and all of the
counties having death rate lower
than seventy have large industrial
populations, with the exception OF
Cape May.
The statement declared that on
the other hand, among the counties
with the highest mortality rate
among babies are found rural coun-
ties, including Monmouth and Hunt
erdon, which have not only favora-
BILE climatic conditions, few indus
trial groups. relatively low per-
centage of foreign born, but well
organized unofficial social welfare
groups, 1t was stated.
The infant death rate among q
number of the counties was as fol-
