Local People “Painfully I Healthy,” Doctors State The people of Perth Amboy and vicinity are in better health gener ally at the present time than they have been for many years, accord ing to the opinions stated by a number of member* of the medical profession here. There is less sick ness reported and the general con dition of the population Is ••pain fully healthy." as one physician put It. Even the hospital has fewer cases than usual. Several reasons are advanced for the lack of business among the doc tors. One is tho explanation for the few accidents occurring among factory employes. The Industrial establishments are not operating at capacity and therefore there are fewer men at work around ma chines which are likely to Injure the careless workman. Emergency cases such as this have always play ed an important part In supplying patients and with the plants em ploying comparatively few men there is a corresponding decrease in the accident list. Another theory advanced is the fact that many people are out of work and those still on the Job have experienced radical reduc tions in wages. Such a condition is likely to keep patients away from the doctors' offices unless they are really seriously sick enough to have need of medical attention. This theory is thought to be largely re sponsible for slackness in the pro fessoin." Still another cause for the pain ful” health of the community is given as being due to the last epl demlc of Influenza. Large number* 1 of the less healthy people died In the epidemic and the remaining class is hardier and less suscepti ble to the slight coughs, colds 1 and light cases of grip, tonsilitis | and other common "cold" diseases. The general depression Is also said to be affecting the uhdertak | ers. KEYPCRT The old steamer Keyport was blown up on Wednesday night at S o'clock after it had lain at the rt dock for a number of years. Several years ago the boat was in a collision in New York and had not been in service since. The company finally decided that with little effort It could be demol ished and will later bf removed j from the dock. A slight fire was noticed In the Mansion House chimney Wednee day which was quickly extinguished Dr. H. T. Hopkins was the guest , of friends at New York Wednesday. ] Mr. and Mrs. Prank Hauser were visitors at New York Wednesday.

Plans are being completed for the Epworth League convention to be held at Calvary M. E. church Thursday, October 27. The Ladies' Aid of Calvary M. E. church enjoyed a pleasant meeting at the home of Mrs. Garret Van Giesen Wednesday afternoon. A THOUSANDS OF THIN PEOPLE HAVE, SPLENDID APPETITES YET FAIL TO PUT ON FLESH AND GAIN WEIGHT —WHY? _ .
