is the only cure for Poison Oak, Poison
Ivy, and all noxious plants. It is COM
posed exclusively of roots and herbs: Now
is the time to get the poison out of your
system, as delay makes your condition
worse. Don't experiment longer with
salves, washes and soaps-they never cure.
Mr.. S. NJ. Marshall, bookkeeper Of the Atlanta
(Ga) Gas Light Co., was poisoned with Poison
Oak. He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various
other drugs and applied externally numerous
lotions and sa1ves with no benefit. At times the
swelling and Inflammation severe he was
almost blind For eight years the poison would
improved after taking one bottle of S. s. s., and
a few bottles cleared his blood of the poison, and
all evidences of the disease disappeared.
People are often poisoned without
knowing when or how. Explain your case
fully to our physicians, and they will
cheerfu11y give such information and adj
vice as you require, without charge, and
we will send at the same time an interest

"The average American husband
does not seem to be able to get It
through his we'll meaning but hating
mind that nothing on Gods earth
humiliates q wife moro than to be
compelled to ask her husband Tor mon
ey," writes Edward Box of "The Wife
and Her Money" in the March Ladies'
Home Journal. "She instinctively
heeitates to do it, and ofttimes she
goes without rather than ask. Every
wife should be given all that it is pcs
sible for the husband to allow for
acknowledgements, and it should not
be doled out to her in driblets nor
given to her as favor: but as her
right, and without question. Over
such q share she should have indepen-
den: sway to do with as she sees fit for
the wisest interests of her homo and
children. That is one rightful step.
But there is still another. She should
have an allowance of her own apart
from the family share of the income.
l have no hesitation in saying that If
the truth wore known 1t is just this
humiliating dependence upon man
for every little trlf1s that woman
needs that is making thousands of
women restless and anxious for outaide
careers. This Is the only fair excuse
have ever been able to see for the hys-
terical rantings of the modern advanc-
ed woman. In that particular she 10
right and il absolutely justified in FL
ing a protest. A wife is too great and
important factor in the life of her
husband to be made financial depen-
dent"

The Young Mans Chances To-Day,

"a young man of capacity, industry
and integrity has a field tor individual
effort such as has never before existed
in this country" writes Edward Box OF
"The Times and the Young Man." In
the March Ladies' Home Journal.
"And success is neither harder nor
easier than 1t eyer was. Success never
ret came to the laggard, and it never
will. Let a young man be capable,
have enterprise, be willing to work,
and carry himself like q man, and he
goes where be will. His success de-
ponds upon himself. No times, no
conditions, no combinations OF capital
can stop a young man who has de-
termination to honorably succeed, and
who is willing to work according to the
very utmost of his capacity and ssnews
of strength. The real trouble is that
the average young man won't work.
He has gotten the insane notion into
his head that success comes by luck /;
that men are made by opportunities
which either come to them or are
thrust upon them. And he waits for
luck or a chance to come along and
find him. Instead OF taking sane
view of conditions and seeing with q
clear mind that as trade widens oppor-
tunities increase, he takes the mistaken
view that the rich are getting richer
and tho poor poorer. These are the
conditions OF mind and life which are
keeping thousands of young men down
and will keep them down. The times
are all right. It ls the young man who
finds fault with them who is moi"

state School Fund Distributed.

The State Board of Education met on
Monday for the purpose Of distributing the
school moneys to the various counties OF
the State.
The total amount to be distributed by
the board was 50, $40, 1880. This was
made up of four separate items as fol-
lows: Appropriation from State School
Fund, $500, 600; appropriation from State
fund under the Stokes act Of last Winter,
$500, 900; State School tax, 81, 4S6, 806. rs;
interest Of surplus revenue, 1913, 386.61.
The provision of the Stokes school act
as amended this year, that the apportion-
ment shall be based upon the actual at
tendance instead of on the school census
does not go into effect this year, SO that
the State Board was governed by the old
method. While the apportionment is
nominally based ON the census, there are
many other considerations which enter into
the somewhat complicated system of dis
tributing the funds
In the first place, there is the State
school tax raised in each county on per
capita basis, and which is turned over to
the State by the several county collectors.
OF this amount ten per cent. goes into
what is known as the reserve fund, which
is allotted according to the judgment of
the State Board for the benefit of the
weaker counties, the remaining ninety per
cent. being first distributed.
In making the distribution 5000 is al
lowed for each school teacher, 5000 for
each supervising principal, and $50 for
each night teacher.
Gloucester county receives from the State
school tax just the amount raised by local
taxation, while Cumberland, Ocean and
Sussex receive more, and Essex, Mercer,
Monmouth and Somerset, less. All the
other counties receive what they raise.
The total amount apportioned to each
county for school purposes is shown in the
ACCOMMODATING table:

Not Guilty.

The trial of A. S. Handle, of Newield,
charged with sharing pheasants and having
snooded game in his possession, took place
before Judge Jessup last Friday. Lawyers
Clymer, Berault and Sparks appeared for
the defendant, and Watkins for the game
warden.
The testimony to sustain the charge was
by Warden Guthridge, of Camden, who
found box of birds at the Camden ferry,
consigned to dealer Tevis, by Ed. O'Brien,
one Of his employees. Two of these birds
were believed to have been taken with
snares. O'Brien acknowledged that the
birds were shipped by Handle.
Warden Hunt testified to snood marks
on the neck of two of the birds.
DEFENDANTS counsel asked for non suit
on the ground that the compliments had
not sustained the charge, and same was
granted.
Under the ruling of the court conviction
of the charge of snooding game can only
be made on positive information, and local
sportsmen will have to be more vigiliant,
and catch pot hunters in the act.

The fact that there are about eight

There is much speculation over the sale
of Petty's Island, in the Delaware above
Cooper's creek. Ten owners last week

than $650,000. The deeds were filed last
Saturday.
The prospective crop of spring chickens
in and around Gloucester is being killed off
in unique fashion. Since the explosion of
dynamite bombs under the old sunken coal
barge Iron State, in the Delaware, opposite
that city began, the shocks have so spoiled
hens eggs as to render the process of hatch
ing almost hopeless. Leonard Firlein, out
of six dozen eggs which he had for hatch
ing purposes, only succeeded in getting
three chickens, and he attributes this fact
to the shocks.
Weak from the want Of proper nouish-
ment and only mere shadow of his former

Mrs. A. M. Budd, of Trenton. formerly of
Pemberton, returned home from the
Philippines on Monday. Private Budd
arrived on the III train and was met by
his brother. So weak was he after his long
journey from San Francisco that he could
scarcely walk, and it was necessary to take
him home in cab. When Budd enlisted
in January, 1899, he was the picture of
good health, rugged and in the best pos
sible physical condition. Previous to his
going into the service he had gained some
distinction in Trenton as an allround
athlete. He weighed $50 pounds, but now
his bones are merely covered with skin,
and he tips the beam at only 80 pounds.
