GREATER OAK HALL.
The Year just Ended Has Been One of
Gratifying Prosperity for This Pop
qlar Clothing Store.

Greater Oak Hall, Wanamaker &
Browns Bfamous Philadelphia clothing
store, begins the new year under particu-
larly happy auspices. The year 1899 was
an nunprecedentedly busy one at this store,
it enjoying the vast commercial prosper
ity that has tidal-wave like swept over the
country during the pasi twelve months.
The firms outlook for 1900 is signally
invigorating, and there is every indica-
ton that it will eclipse eyery.record in its
history of nearly two generations.
1t will make and carry greater clothing
stocks than ever before, the general pros
porous condition.of the people fully war
ranting this. There will be the same
policy as always of selling the best cloth
ing for the least possible prices.
Being manufacturers on colossal scale,
and having every new and up-to- date
method for fashioning the very best cloth
ing, this reliable old store occupies very
enviable position.
The mems and boys departments will
continue to be the very best in the coun-
try, while the department for women and
girls will maintain their high standard
and keep growing. The hat and shoe and
mans furnishing departments will be
kept wide awake and in every way abreast
Of the times. These departments are
themselves complete stores.

What We Eat

is intended to nourish and sustain US, but
it must be digested and assimilated be-
fore it can do this. In other words, the
nourishment contained in food must be
separated by the digestive organs from
the waste materials, and must be carried
by the blood to all parts of the body. We
believe the reason for the great benefit
which so many people derive from
Hoods Sarsaparilla lies in the fact that
this medicine gives good digestion and
makes pure, rich blood. IL restores the
functions of those organs which convert
food into nourishment that gives strength
to nerves and muscles. 1t also cures
dyspepsia. scrofula, salt rheum, boils,
sores, pimples and eruptions, catarrh,
rheumatism and all diseases that have
their origin in impure blood.

man of excellent education. He had the
backing of all the Mercer county leaders,
who had been promising Herbert good
place for some time past. Senator Hutch
inson after a hard fight failed to ceryince
his colleagues ofthe value of his mans
claim. However place will be provided
for Herbert as aclerk to a Senate COM
mittee.
Senator Evanstried hard to give Wal
ter Edge, OF Atlantic, another term to add
to three already served as Journal Clerk.

If applicants for help come to your
door, ask where they live, then refer to
the following list, and direct them to the
visitor of their district, who will speedily
investigate and render assistance if
needed. In this way each residence will
help in legitimate way the work of the
Benevolent Society, and thus discourage
begging from door to door, If necessary
procure two or more copies of the list
for handy reference.

Good Roads and Cities.

1t is only by Il state aid law that the
city population can be enabled to give
farmers the help they are willing to
give and which justice requires them
to give. Strict justice would require,
in fact. that the state should pay the
whole cost of road building and main
tenancr instead of oneh half. as is pro-
posed by this bill. The whole people
have equal rights in the use of the
roads, and they have substantially
equal benefits from them, for. though
the people in cities may rarely use
them, they are used constantly for the
cities benefit. Without them the cities
could not exist for day; destroy them,
and the people of cities and towns
must scatter instantly to find subsist-
ence.-General Roy Stone.

PURE WATER SUPPLY.
Albany Has the Largest Filtration
Plant In the World.

One of the points of interest in New
York's capital is the new filtration
plant of the city's waterWorks system.
This plant is just about completed at
Il cost of %4JO,OOO. 1t was recommend
ed by the water commissioners in Feb
ruary, 1891. and for two years has
been under construction. The water is
lifted IS feet from the Hudson river
by two centrifugal pumps into a scdi-
mentaton basin seven acres in area,
with capacity of lG.OO0O0O gallons.
The water passes by gravity from
this basin through pipes to eight filter
beds. Each filter is ScVcn-tcnthS of
an acre, with II capacity of 100000
gallons Il day, at the usual rate of
speed of about five inches an hour.
The water passes through four feet of
sand and 16 inches of gravel into sub
drains beneath the filters and thence
into Il small pure water reservoir ono
fifth of an acre in area. From this
reservoir it is carried through IL steel
pipe four feet in diameter and 5000
feet long to the main pumping station,
which is on QuackenbuSh and Mont
gomery streets. From there it is pump
ed to the several distributing reservoirs
and delivered to the city. This is CON
Sidered the greatest feature which Al
bany has to offer just at present, being
the largest filtration plant i'll the Unit
ed States and the most modern in the
world.

Fish and Winter.

strange rs II seems u fish may suffer
death by drowning. When Il stream
is suddenly. swollen with water that
has fallen upon and drained from sur
rounding soil which has been exposed
for some time previously to the suns
rays, the water is warmed and depriv-
ed of its power of holding a proper
complement of oxygen. The vivifying
gas in consequence escapes. and the
fish, deprived of the aids necessary for
respiration, faint and die. as they
would If placed in tepd water.
fish, like a man, requires 4 per-
petual supply of oxygen to his breath
ing apparatus. \ fish gets its oxygen
from the water, q man from the atmos-
pherp around him. Reverse the posi-
tiOn of tho two. and the fish becomes
what Is called drowned in the open
air, while man is drowned in the wa
ter. \ fish taken out of water dies
from drowning. because the little blood
containing tilamentS which comprise
the gillS become stuck together and of
course cannot act so as to Oxygenate
the blood.

Pay Road Taxes In Cash.

The proposition to pay road taxes in
cash met with little favor in the begin
ming. Farmers were unwilling. as
might reasonably be expected. to pay
their road taxes in cash instead of in
work. But sentiment is now largely
the other way among intelligent farm
ers, since experience has shown that
more can be accomplished with 81 OF
tax paid in cash than 81 or even 81 of
tax worked out on the highway. Where
the system has been fairly tried farm
ers have found it by no means the bur-
den expected, since they may still be
hired by the road officers to run the
machinery used.

Location of Roads.

Get your locations right first. 1t will
be necessary for your engineer to lay
out better locations for many of your
roads. 1t would be folly to spend
$1,000 or $1,000 on a section of road
and find that it was in the wrong place
when finished. And If an individual
loses by being thrown off the highway
or by having the road cut through his
farm the county will have the power
to compensate him out of the county
funds.-General Roy Stone.
