How to Abate Mosquito PEST.

Commenting on the recent meeting
of the Mosquito Brigade of Elizabeth,
the Journal of that city says:
It must be admitted that the results
accomplished last summer and the re-
lief that, as DIR. Robinson says, 'is
certainly within sight, are as start
ling as they are gratifying.
That the mosquito pest in Elizabeth
was manifestly reduced last summer
is testified to by citizens in practical.
ly every part of this city. There
seems to be no ground to question
the actual results accomplished under
DIR. Robinson's supervision, and this,
too, with the use of about ~ barrels
Of oil. a horse and wagon two or
three days each week during the sea-
son, and the intelligent work Of one
young man who was tanght what to
do and how to do it.
1t has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt. that the liiling or draining Of
stagnant pools, the cleaning out Of
rain barrels, tin cans, etc., the oilipg
of stagnant ponds too large to be
drained, and the stocking of waters
with little fish. are the means by
which the mosquito pest can be prao-
tioallly eliminated; and that by or
dinsry care and cleanliness around
individual promises. supplemented
with little extra intelligent work
on the part of the Board of Health,
or under the supervision of such men
as DR.. Robinson, one of the most nm
noylng species of mosquitoes can prso-
tically be eradicated.

in fsuring the loss it must be remem-

An Open Letter to Christmas Shop
pers.

The season of Christmas shopping
is approaching. "Cruelties, in the
form of overwork among children and
women, travesEy the festival of re-
joicirg over the coming of the Holy
Child"
In some cases horses are treated
better than employees. Last year a
driver was compelled to work 80
many hours delivering goods that it
was three clock in the morning
before he reached home; the horse
had been changed once en- route. A
boy OF sixteen, after delivering pack
ages until late at night. was so ex-
hausted that he lay down in the
wagon, pulled his blanket over him
and slept in the stable. He was found
frozen to death on New Years morn
ing.
The Consumers League appeals to
all to do their shopping this month,
and early in the day, and not to in
sist that goods be delivered on the
day purchased. An amelioration OF
the hardships of the holiday season
may TINS be secured.

hahne & Co.'S. New Store.

This great establishment. with an
area larger than any store in New York,
and with an incompatible stock of mer-
chandise that presents as wide a range
of choice as any New York store, har
made extraordinary preparations for the
coming Yuletide season. There isn't a
thing missing, except exorbitant prices.
Every feature of Christmas gift-giv-
ing is completely represented. The
mark cts Of Europe as we'll as our own
country have contributed to the holiday
show, and they are ready as never be-
fore to meet the demands of every boy
and girl in the State.
Dolls of course, form an important
part of the display--and such dolls.
When you look at the price tags you
wonder how they can be made and sold
at such little prices. There's no secret
Hahne & Go. have larger stock of ali
the best choosings that the market
affords than all the stores of Newark
assembled into one. Quantity always
makes makes price, and you find both
big quantities and low prices.
