New Jersey is the state In which the
cranberry industry had its beginning.
Old John Webb of Ocean county was
the originator OF cranberry culture. He
drained marsh land setting it out into
cranberry bogs, despite the jeers of his
nelghbors. and vindicated his theory
that cranberry growing could be made
a profitable industry. Fifty dollars a
barrel was. what he got for his first
crop, and the neighbors ceased to jeer.
Instead they promptly followed his
example.
The. pine counties Of southern New
Jersey, Ocean. Burlington, Atlantic
and, In lesser degree, Cape May and
Monmouth, are the home Of the cram
berry. At this time all the otherwise
unemployed labor of the countryside
in these districts is engaged in har-
vesting the crop. Laboring men, wo-
men and children and whole families
Of the 'Piners," a class analogous to
the "Crackers" OF the south, are en-
listed in the work. Carloads Of pick
ers are brought down from the Italian
quarters of New York and Philadel-
phia. Even tramps are pressed into
service, and II is not an unusual thing
for the charitable societies Of the large
cities of the state to furnish the wan
derers with free transportation to the
cranberry region.
A cranberry bog is generally six to
ten rods square and is surrounded by
bitches and dikes. so that it can be
kept in the condition necessary for the
welfare Of the vines. When harvest
time comes, lines are fastened TO pegs
in the ground. dividing the bog into
rows or alleys five or six feet wide.
Every picker is assigned his or her in

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled
the silly notion that one kind of
food is needed for the brain, another
for muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only
nourish q particular part of the body
but it will sustain every other part.
Yet, however good your food may
be, its nutriment is destroyed by In
digestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower, the
fav0rite medicine of the healthy
millions. A few doses aids diges-
ton, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes
you feel buoyant and vigorous. You

remedies at ST. Bernard Drug Store.

SAUCE
FOR THE
TURKEY

Now is the harvest time for the deli
cious fruit that adds so much to the
turkey dinner. All along the Atlantic
coast, where the cranberry vines run
red, the pickers are at work, clawlng,
pulling and raking the berries from
their stems. Already are the markets
filled with barrels of this most appe-
tizlng of relishes.
While one unconsciously turns to
Cape Cod when the word cranberry"
is used, the fact of the matter is that

CHAPTER VII.

Several weeks had elapsed
since Lizzie's return TO the
Sycamore Mills, and the pure
country food and air had again
painted her cheeks with a deli
cate flush of health the golden
days of glorious October were at
hand and the autumn winds, la
den with the scent of sweetgum
and cedar sighed through the
bending trees, carpeted the earth
with vermillion-hued leaves,
through the half-opened burs the
velvet skins of the chestnuts
were cleaning, and the squirrels
whisked busily about gathering
their winter store.
One evening Lizzie wandered
down to her favorite haunt, the
old log by the spring. Sitting
there she thought of the hand
some young stranger who had
only one year ago broken the
monotony of her quiet life and
caused her pulse to bound and
her heart to culver with the &C.
stacy of first awakened love,
and then in so short time had
utterly forgotten her and was
to be married today to Jessie
Maynard. The sound of a quick
firm step on the leaves arrested
her attention and looking up she
saw Darlington coming toward
her with outstretched hands and
a happy smile lighting up his
handsome face. On reaching
Lizzie, and before she could pre-
vent him, he clasped both of her
hands in his and said:
''Little girl, one year ago this
day you said if l was still of the
same mind to come to the Syca-
more Mills. My mind has not
changed, my purpose has never
wandered for one instant and ]
am here to claim my reward. To
tell you | love you is unnecces-
sary as you know it only too well.
Amid the whirl and excitement
of a hurried city life your dear
image and the remembrance of
this quiet, restful, quaint old
place have been ever present
with me and know of no sweeter
JOY nor higher form of bliss than
to hear from those dear lips the
words, 81 love youp'
Lizzie, dazed by the sudden
ness of his unexpected appear
ance and unable to stop his i'm
petuous words stood with scorn-
full, incredulous look in her won
derous eyes until he finished
speaking, then said:
"Mr. Caarrington, you must
be out of your mind. Wasn't
you to marry my friend and
schoolmate, Jessie Maynard to-
day? What are you doing away
from her? Why did you come
here?"
To cay Darlington was dumb
founded would but feebly ex-
press his state of feeling.
81 to be married to Jessie
Maynard !" he exclaimed, "why |
never heard of her. | wouldn't
marry any one in the whole
round world but you, Lizzie.
There is some terrible mistake;
tell me why you thought |, of all
men, was to be married to your
friend, and let us see if | cannot
assist you to clear up this mys-
terry"
Lizzie then told him what had
passed between she and Jessie
and how she thought he was the

IMMORAL SUASlON.
1t Has Certain Advantages
Over The Milder Moral
Method.

Moral suasion, the appeal to the ra-
tional nature of man, is doubtless very
good thing. But it will not compare
with immoral suasion for inducing swift
ness Of thought or prorptness of action.
The burglar surprised in his raid and
requested to please go away" will
argue the case in the forceful burglar
way: But when a pistol is pushed in
his face with the laconic order, wet ="
he goes and stands not on the order of
his going. The pistol, with its six solid
arguments, is a wonderful persuader. and

surpassed.
II is reflection on mans reason that
he often refuses to do what common
sense dictates, until he is forced to do
it. Common sense tells man that he
cannot live irregularly and keep his
health. He is warned and admonished
time and again that hasty eating and
irregular meals result i'll diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition. But because Nature does
not directly threaten his life as the pistol
does he goes right along until he is
him to do so.
UNHEEDED WARNINGS.
It is only when ali her warnings have
been UNDECIDED that Nature no longer
says vYou should not but oYou shall
not" This is practically what happens
when the lover of high living has to give
up dainty dishes, sweets and condiments
and come down to diet of oatmeal or
tea and toast.
There are thousands of dyspeptics
whose condition shuts them out from all
the pleasures of the table. There are
thousands of others who are on the high
road to like condition, unheeding the
warnings of the protesting stomach.
The great fact is that every man and
woman who suffers from dyspepsia can
be almost certainly cured by the use of
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t always helps. 1t almost always cures.
Only two people in every hundred who
J give Golden Medical Discovery y fair

permanent cure.
