Examine Your Notes.

Chief of the Secret Service Bell has is
sued a circular describing the two counter
felt silver certificates that have recently
appeared. The S. certificate, department
series of 1886, letter ID, has a coarse,
scratchy appearance and looks like a litho-
graph. Tie vignette Of General Grant is
without expression, and instead Of a wrin-
kle IN the right side of the face there is a
line that looks like a lump on the side of
the nose. The back is blurred. There are
no parallel silk threads in the paper. The
other counterfeit is a 81 silver certificate,
series of 1886, d, of a better general APP
pearance than the other. The vignette is
scratchy and the words Omitted States
have the appearance of a wood cut, the
shading being very coarse. There are nu-
merous defects in the lathe work on the
back, and the pink seal is very pale.
There are no parallel threads in the paper.
Many of these notes are being circulated
in New York and New jersey.

rapid progress in the arts, sciences and lit
erature, and he hoped in religion. We are
all looking for better times and hope for
the realization Of higher ideals. There is a
deeper feeling now than ever before on the
subject of temperance. Men, women and
children are laboring in different fields OF
work, yet all having the same object in
view. There can be no religion without
morality and no true morality without
purity Of body. Temperance the lecturer
considered the most important subject
claiming the attention of rational beings.
Our Heavenly Father has given us bodies
the mechanism of which excels all the ma
chinery in the world. 1t is through these
physical bodies and in proportion to their
perfection that all the works in this
world are produced. So the foundation Of
all human progress is in having sound,
healthy bodies, which are the perfection
of Gods work. We should therefore seek
to do what we can to promote the cause of
temperance, for temperance is the very
basis of religion.
Alcohol, in appearance might be called
the angel of light, but the demon of dark
ness when it gets into mans system. The
so-called soft drinks, ambrosia and malto,
contain more or less alcohol. Hard cider
contains from six to ten per cent. of aleo-
hol, beer five to ten, wine five to thirty,
and brandy fifty. The safest plan is to
drink cold water.
DR.. Childs then exhibited some charts
containing paintings of stomachs, showing
the condition of those in perfect health,
and that organ in different stages of dis
ease produced by drinking liquor. Alec
hol paralyses the nerves of the stomach,
and the young man who says liquor does
not hurt him is only asserting that he does
not feel it.
The lecturer spoke of the importance Of
breathing fresh air, and how to assist ma
tnre in developing the lungs and presery-
ing their reserve force. Persons of seden-
tary habits should GO out into the open
air several times a day and draw ten or
more long breaths, inhaling as much air as
they can possibly draw into the lungs.
He cited instances where this simple rem
edy had performed wonders.
When the people become sufficiently en-
l%ightened on the subject of inebriety
drunkards will be placed in confinement
and kept beyond the reach of strong drink
until it gets entirely ont of the system,
and it takes about two years to effect a
cure. Then there must be a moral infiu-
ence behind that. The lecturer would if
he had the power Danish all the liquor
from the land. Science might suffer rath-
err Thar that mankind should go down to
~drunkaTd's graves. Tobacco he called the
twin brother to alcohol and a stain upon
the human race.

To Keep MIX From souring,

To housekeepers who are troubled dur
ing hot weather by the frequent souring of
milk intended for the use of children or in
valids the following will be OF value: The
souriug ofmilk is caused by the change of
the sugar of milk into Tactic acid, under
the influence of the c~aseine, or cheesy mat
ter. which the milk contains. Boiling,
however, depriyes caseine of the power of
converting the sugar of milk into Tactic
acid. Now, if the milk be put into bottles
which, after being well corked, are placed
in a can with cold water, and gradually
raised to the boiling point, and after being
allowed to cool. be taken out and placed
in a cool place, the milk will keep per-
feet for more than a halfa year. If the
milk be exposed to the air after boiling,
the caseine gradually RECEIVERS its power of
converting sugar into Tactic acid. In this
case the boiling has to be repeated every
day or every second day, and milk may
thus be kept fresh for two months or more.

Residents of this vicinity surely had a
choice yesterday of amusements and re-
creations. In the morning many of our
citizens boarded Bruna's excursion to At
lantic City, while a number of Others
through the day attended the temperance
picnic at Tomlin's station. Our borough
was also well represented at Salem IN the
afternoon, where the second of the series
of base ball games between the Woods
town and Salem clubs was played, and in
the evening the can house in South Woods
town was the resort of a merry party of
young couples, where a successful dance
social was given. Those who were not
satisfied with any of the above, attended
the Red Mems picnic near Pennsgrove.

About twelve o'clock last Monday Hi
ram Cheeseman, residing at Lincoln, came
near losing his life by drowning. Mr..
Cheeseman was riding with William Hud-
son in his mill wagon and while crossing
the Jacksonville mill dam the horse got
frightened at some small boys bathing.
Hudson sprang out and caught the horse
by the bride, but wagon, horse and Mr..
Cheeseman all went off the dam together
in deep water. Hudson cried Justify for
help and a few men hurried to his assist
ance. MI. Cheeseman has had 40 use of
his lower limbs for twenty-eight years
and how he saved himself from drowning
is marvellous. But he somehow managed
to crawl out and on to the top of the
overturned and submerged wagon from
which position he was carried ashore by
his rescuers. The horse was not injured
and the wagon was pulled out by fasten-
ing ropes to the wheels.

warfare Against A%duIieraaed Drugs.

In accordance with the announced inten-
ton of State Commissioner Newton, the
law will now be enforced against all retail
and wholesale druggists throughout the
state who are selling or dispensing impure
or adulterated drugs. On Saturday after
1901 Deputy Inspector Vandegrift, of Bur
lington, began the work of securing SAM
Piles of different drugs on sale. He visited
a number of drug stores and procured SAM
pies, which he enclosed in small tin boxes,
all numbered and dated. These will be
submitted to the state analytical chemist,
Shipper Wallace, who will report on their
purity as soon as the analyses can be
made.
The druggists are considerably worked
up over the affair, and have decided to in
sist upon being UNIDENTIFIED against loss by
the wholesale dealers from whom they pur-
chase.
Inspector Vandegrift continued his pur-
chases of samples in Bridgeton and Green
witch, Cumberland county, on Wednesday,
and they will be sent at once to Analyst
Wallace. Mr.. Vandegrift will probably
devote all of next week to Camden county.

Totals,
TIE CANE.

The game played at Bridgeton with the
Bridgeton club on Tuesday resulted in a
score of II to 0 in favor of Woodstown.
The Pioneer of Wednesday says:
Vickery is a great pitcher, perhaps one
of the finest in the State. He is well built
and has a long arm, and when he tries,
throws a ball, that for speed, equals any
thing seen upon the field in Bridgeton. He
has perfect command of the ball, and does
not have to resort much to curving. In
Potts he has a back stop who could hold him
perfectly, and seventeen men died at the
plate because of the effective work of these
two. The others of the team had little to
do. and much of that was not done very
well. But how they did bat. Seventeen
hits were made aud among them were five
two baggers, and three three baggers and
one home run.
The News says: The Woodstown team
of ball players jumped on the Bridgetons
with both feet yesterday, and stood there
throughout the whole game. Not one of
the home players was able to make the cir
cult of the diamond, thanks to the mag
%nificent pitching of Vickery, a professional
pitcher from the Burlington team. The
game was too much like the handle OF a
jug to stir up any enthusiasm. But it was
not altogether without interesting features.
Prominent of these was the work of Wick
cry, who ave the finest exhibition in the
box seen here since tie days of the old
Anthracites, with their famous battery,
Miller and Milligan. When Manager Ford,
of the visiting team, announced before the
game began that he should put in Niekery
to pitch, it was evident at once to any one
acquainted with this young mans record,
that it would be simply a walk-over for
the visitors. And so it proved. The home
players struggled heroically, but they were
overmatehed. However, the game was
ployed in good natured manner throughout
and on it's merits, and was in pleasant con-
trast TO the game of the day before at
Salem. Potts, the young catcher from
Bristol. did superb work behind the bat.
The whole team proved themselves very
stiff batters and not slow either in fielding,
base running or coaching. Niekery struck
out seventeen men. Five hits were made
off Of him, however. The details Of the
game would be tedious. The Woodstowns
began the pulverizing process directly IN
the first inning when they obtained -four
runs with very little effort.
TIE following is the score:

burning of MOSCOW at ,lan,I city.

One of the grandest exhibitions ever pro-
duced in this country is being given at At
lantic City this summer. 1t is the Messrs.
Pains gorgeous Russian historical specta-
Gle the "Burning of Moscow" The ire
mendous events of the 10Th day of Septem-
Der, in 1912. when the foolish Moscovites
gave up their beautiful city to the devour-
ing elements, rather than have it fall into
the hands of Napoleon, is most wildly and
thrillingly portrayed. A mammoth paint
ing, covering over 10000 square yards
gives a very perfect and realistic picture of
the principal portion of the city, and in
gcnious devices are constructed to II
the collapse of some of the immense build
ings and towers showing the charred re-
mains after the fire. A motley crowd of
over three hundred people dressed in the
scmi-barbaric and other peculiar fantastic
costumes of Georgians, Circassians, Turks,
Tartars, Greeks, and Russians and French
soldiers and citizens swarm along the
banks of the river Moskowa, until the city
is deserted. The great Napoleon and his
vast army enter, e,ated with pride at so
easy a conquest, when suddenly a raging
fire breaks out, simultaneously throughout
the famous city, and they are obliged to
flee for their lives. Incidentally, among
other performances, some marvellous aero
batic and athletic exercises and combats
are introduced, and some beautiful and
specially arranged music rendered by a
large military band. The amphitheatre is
handsomely decorated and brilliantly illu-
minated, and after the burning of the city
a monster display of fireworks is given.
The burning of Moscow" takes place
every Thursday and Saturday evenings and
on other occasions as announced, and spe-
cial and excursion trains always leave At
lantic City after the exhibition, for Phila-
delphia and other points.
