MOND DYES

Diamond Dyes Color Anything Any
ColOr-Make Old Cloaks, Gowns,
Scarfs. and Suits Look Like New
How to Dress Well at Small Cost
Diamond Dyes are a wonderful
help to economical dressing. These
simple home dyes will color any
thing any color, and make cloaks,
stockings, dresses, feathers, laces,
curtains, etc, look like new.
Many of the Diamond Dyes
are made from specially prepared
dyes Stuffs, and i'm no other way
can home dyeing be done SO simp-
ly and satisfactorily.
They come in all colors, and the
plain and explicit directions on
the package make it easy for the
most inexperienced to use them
with success. Even a child can
dye a rich, perfect color, if Dia-
mond Dyes are used.
Do not risk your material with
dyes that claim to color both cot
ton and wool with the same dye,
for it is impossible to get satifac-
tory results with dyes OF that
character. In Diamond Dyes,
there are special dyes for cotton
and special dyes for wool, and
they are all guaranteed to give
satisfaction, if used according to
directions.

Hon. b. f. Lee, of Trenton, has
contributed to the current number of
the New Jersey Law journal an in
teresting article on the origin of the
Boards Of Freeholders ms existing in
the counties of New Jersey. The
creation of these b0lies antedates the
present State constitution. In early
colonial days ''freemen and " free
holders meant much the same thing.
The former swore allegiance to the
King, were admitted To cultivate the
ground, and became freeholders. Free
holders met annually to choose free
holders to represent them in their re
spectiye parishes and other divisions.
When the county governments of the
East and West Jerseys were organized,
the Board of Chosen Freeholders
appeared as the governing body. In
1858 the law of the land provided that
a freeholder should hold title to fifty
acres of land, ten of which must be
under cultivation or, i'll a borough, n
house and three acres of land, or, if he
be tenant, fifty pounds value Of his
own The act of 1909, dividing the
counties of the State, established
clearly the office OF Chosen Freebooter,
and a later act of 1913 fixed more
clearly the duties associated with the
office.
