Fair. A Great Success.

The Young Womans' Guild of
Memorial Hospital, held one of the
most successful sales in it's history, on
Wednesday of last week.
That the people of Morris County
appreciate both the work and the
needs of the Hospital was shown con-
clusively by their hearty support of
the fair, and by the gratifying finan-
cial results, over SO, 400. 90 being added
to the treasury.
Since the installation of a COM
pletely equipped surgical department
the scope of the hospitals work has
greatly increased, and expenses have
necessarily grown in proportion.
Aside from the surgical cases now in
the main building, the annex wards
are occupied by patients suffering
from various contagious diseases,
and the needs of the hospital are
greater than ever before.
The Guild most sincerely thanks all
its friends. who SO generously assisted
in making the fair success. and
wishes especially Ito mention the
kindness shown by Messrs. j. Frank
Lindsey, Pierson & Surdam, Vogt

Fond Memories.

When the angry passions gathering in
my mothers face l see,
And she leads me to the bedroom,
gently lays me on her knee
Then l know that 1 will catch it, and
my flesh in fancy itches,
AS listen to the patter of the single
on my breeches.
Every tinkle of the shingle has an
echo and sting,
And thousand burning fancies into
active being spring,
And a Thousand bees and hornets
meath my coattail seem TO swarm
AS I listen to the patte1 of the
single, oh, so warm.
In a splitter comes my father, who I
supposed had gone,
To survey the situation and bid her
lay it on;
To see her bending DER me as listen
to the strain
Played by her and by the shingle in a
wild and weird refrain.
In sudden intermission, which APP
pears my only chance,
l say: "Strike gently mother, or
you'll split my Sunday pants "
She stops a moment, draws her breath,
the single holds loft,
And says: 81 had not thought Of that
my son, just take them off. -
Holy Moses and the angels, cast your
plying chances down!
And thou, oh, family doctor, put q
good, soft poultice on;
And may / with fools and ounces
everlastingly commingle,
If ever say another word when my
mother yields the shingle.

Condemned in Missouri and Con-
fiscated in New York.

Judge Clarke of st. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily number of
grocers for selling baking powders con-
tanning alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized quantity of
stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from alum
mixed with ground rock, and dumped
it into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus taking
effective means to prevent the introduce
ton into our markets of injurious sub
stitutes in place of wholesome baking
powders.
AS alum only costs two cents a pound
there is great temptation for those
manufacturers who make substitutes
and imitation goods, to use il. Alum
baking powders can be detected by the
health authorities by chemical analysis,
but the ordinary housekeeper, whose as
sistance in protecting the health of the
people is important, cannot make
chemical examination. She may easily
know the alum powders, however, from
the fact that they are sold at from ten
to twenty cents for pound can, or that
some prize-like a spoon, or glass, or
piece of crockery, or wooden ware-is
given with the powder as an induce
ment.
AS the people begin to realize the i'm
portance of this subject and consumers
insist on having baking powder of es-
tablished name and character, and as
the health authorities continue their
vigorous crusades, the alum danger
will, it is hoped, finally be driven from
our homes.

The regular annual meeting of the
local Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion occurred in Association Hall Monday
evening. The rooms were decorated
with the artistic Posters that have

tered, the red ribbon came home to Nor
ristown. After hearing reports from
the various standing committees, officers
and six directors were elected as follows

day. The report of the different depart
ments showed the year had been one of
exceptional interest. Interest had run
high in the Gymnasium. the evening
classes had done more thorough work
than ever before; encouraging interest
has been shown in the religious meeting
and Bible classes; the library had in
creased over two hundred Volumes and
been more in use than ever before,
Progress characterized every department
but the matter that brought forth the
greatest rejoicing was the Endowment
Fund. At the beginning of the year
this fund amounted to 1920. 10, now the
Association has in bank $4,000, the in
terest on which will go each year to-
wards the support Of the institution
The treasurer's report showed receipts
and disbursements to the amount of
81. 800 So or $211 greater than last year.
The outlook for another year is most
encouraging. The exhibit of posters
and printed matter will remain on the
walls of the building for week and a
cordial invitation is extended to the pub
