That was a sound principle which a
minister applied in the case of an inebriate
who complained that he never could pass
a saloon when alone. Then take your
baby with you," said the clergyman. The
poor mans face frightened at the sug-
gestion, and he was frequently seen after
ward trundling his little son. in his peram-
bulator, safely past the most alluring
drinking den.
Family ties, when pure and strong, are
great safeguards. This truth was recog-
nized not long ago by a shrewd manufac-
turer at the West, who Increased the
wages of his married employees, thus put
ting a premium upon marriage. He con-
tended that a workman who has a home
and wife and children to labor FOR is more
competent and trustworthy than one who
knocks about in boarding houses and has
no one to care whether he does well or i'll.
The man with a family de pendent upon
him. as a rule, is also more hopeful and
ambitious, because he has a stronger in

still holds true: sit is not good that

A small piece of fat corned beef or a lump
of butter is a superior substitute for the
fat pork so generally used.
Vegetables, including carrots, as per-
haps the head of the list for making pure
blood, when properly prepared, form a
most important part of any well regulated
bill of fare of a health-promoting dinner.
Fruits should not be taken with segeta-
bles. Animal food should not be INDUCED
in too freely, perhaps the less the better in
most cases. "Smine's flesh thou shalt not
eat, was the law for the Jews, and should
be for the Gentiles. Meats should never be
fried. Thin pieces of lean meat may be
baked or parched like a griddle cake, turn
ing them over till brown on both sides.
For bad cases of dyspepsia, meals prepar-
ed in this manner often prove ofgreat bene-
fit.
Fresh fish will be found TO agree with
most invalids. Eggs, properly prepared,
are among The best forms of animal food.
Milk is somewhat constipating, and should
not be used without adding one-eighth of
lime water.
Temperance in all things should be
the motto of all who wish to retain or re-
gain the BOOT of health. Sometimes it is
well to fast for a meal or for days, especial
ly so when suffering pain from any severe
rheumatic or neuralgia trouble Many sick
people have a morbid rage for food, which
is not a natural appetite. All such, and in
fact most sick people, would improve
much faster with only one or two meals a
daY, taken at regular times, using nothing
but watero or milk and water between meals.

The settling Up Is Certain.

You may take the world as it comes and goes
And you will be sure to find
That it viii square the account She owes
Whoever comes out behind.
And all things bad that a man has done,
By whatsoever induced.
Return at last 10 him. one by one,
As the chickens come home to roest.
You may scrape, and toll. and pinch, and save
While your boarded wealth expands,
Till The cold, dark shadow of the grave
Is nearing your life's last sands:
Yon will have your balances struck some
night, !.
And you'll find your hoard reduced,
You'll view your life in another light
" hen the chickens come home TO roost.
You can stint your soul and s;arvc yonr heaii
With the husks of a barren creed.
But Christ will know if you play a part,
VIII know in your hour of need;
And then rs yon wait for death to come,
What hope can there be deduced
From a creed You viii lie there dumb
While yonr chickens come home to roost.
SOW rs you viii, there's Il time to reap,
For the good and the bad as well,
And conscience, whether We wake or sleep,
Is either Il heaven or hell,
And very wrong will find its place,
And every passion loosed
Drift back and meet you face to face
When the chickens come home to roo,t.
Whether you're over or under the sod,
The result will be the same;
You cannot escape the lands of God:
You must bear your sin or shame.
No matter what's carved on the marble slab.
When the items are all produced
You'll find that st. Peter was keeping tab.
n thai chickens COM home TO roost.

out in the country you

Farmer B out in the country you
know.
This was followed by tue Fourth of July,
then Camp meeting and Agricultural tx
bibition, and now Christmas again. Docs
beat all how time flies.
Now The ground is frozen hard and the
air filled with the icy breath of winter,
but before realizing it. We shall again be
r~eyeling IN straw berries and cream. and be
looking forward to another Fourth OF July.
But among these changing seasons, and
changing events, there is after all an
unchauging, perpetual harvest, and the
remorseless reaper garnering in the ripe
and the unripe burden is the white horse
and his rider, Death.
As we look hurrledly back it seems like
an almost amending procession bearing
away the dead for burial. The black
plumed hearse with its silent driver stops
at this door, and that, taking often, al
WAYS it seems, the fairest and best. and its
work is never done.
Leaves have their time TO fall,
And flowers to wilher at the north winds
breath,
But all, thou hast al seasons for thine own,
oh DEATH
Soon the hand that pens these lines will
be palsied in death, and the eye that scans
this page be closed to mortal ken, and the
only question that will interest us then
will be IF a man die, shall he live again?'

CLOTHING!

We read Of large stocks Of cloth
ing and low prices. It's an easy
matter to write a flaming advertise
ment, but sometimes difficult to sus-
tain assertions by facts. We don't
aim to say anything in our
advertisements about our goods
that is not strictly true. 1t is well
known that our stock is at all times
the largest by far of any in this
county. There is none larger in
any town in South Jersey. 1t is as
we'll known that we are in position
to buy cheaper than others and at
all times prepared and willing to
work on close profits. This season
we are better fixed than ever be-
fore. We had most Of our stock
made expressly to our order.
Now therefore take notice, that if
you want to save from one to five
dollars on the purchase of a single
suit or overcoat, come 70 headquar-
tiers where you get full returns for
every penny you invest.
Buyers from Swedesboro, Salem
or Alloway, whose purchases
amount to TEN DOLLARS or
over, will have their fare paid both
ways.
We have yet to hear the first
complaint Of our Lester Boots,
but on the contrary all speak well of
them. They COST NO MORE
THAN OTHER MAKES, and you
may as we'll have the best. Don't
forget US when you want to buy.
