.preventltes Of Pneumonia.

The sensational announcements with
regard 10 the infectious character OF
pneumonia should not cause alarm
since the dread disease has always
been With us Some seasons it is
more virulent than others. for which a
cause is pointed out by DR. Anders. a
well known authority OH climatology.
In recent piper on pneumonia he
says:
The coincidence of existing low tenn.
peratures high barometrie pressure the
direction ana velocity Of the winds and
maximum mortality from pneumonia Is
so uniformly constant as to merit serious
consideration and suggest a close and di-
rect relation between their combined In.
fiuence and the progress of mortality
from pneumonia
lie adds that the major influence ex
erted by the weather is not direct. but
Indirect, in consequence of closed doors
and windows and the lack of free ven
tilation. This causes concentration and
an increased virulence of the specific
Doisons already in the system. I'M
munity from pneumonia. then. is a
matter Of sanitation In this respect
the doctor thinks the Japanese are
ahead of the western peoples. He says
The fundamental condition of the health
Of the Japanese lies far back of all The
contributions of occidental civilization and
is wholly indigenous to this remarkable
people. 1t consists in the national habit
of living in the fresh air and sunshine
Every hygienist knows and breaches that
almost the sole cause of tuberculosis and
pneumonia Is the Ill ventilation and inn
pure air of our houses. They are house
diseases Many others are in part or
indirectly due to the same cause. Per-
sonal uncleanliness of body is also con-
tributing source of morbid mischief
against which the best Of our western ma
lions must also fight q long war. The
Japanese have plenty of fresh air and
light In their houses.
While penumonia may be fed by i'm
pure air indoors, it is without doubt
often brought on by unsuitable dress
worn out of doors, more particularly
during high winter winds. A wrap
which is suitable in extremely cold
weather when there is little wind ma.
be unsuitable during heavy vino
when the cold Is not so intense. A
heavy wrap which is not closed in
front is often less of protection for
the chest from the penetrating wind
than lighter garment worn closed up
TO the neck People INCLINED to lung
troubles are usually very sensitive to
cold about the chest. and carelessuess
in the matter of warm clothing on at
least wind proof wraps often invites .
cold in the chest which keeps the pa
tent in the house. where the air may
be conducive to the progress of the
trouble, and the end is pneumonia
The open coat or jacket when the
weather conditions favor pneumonia
as Dr. Anders suggests, may be a
worse foe to health than the microbes
likely to be absorbed in crowded as
semblies or even 10 the sickrOom.

THE Mount Holly Mirror says "A
bill has been introduced in the Legis-
lature to make it unlawful for Surro-
gates, County Clerks and Registrars OF
Wills to be their own immediate sue
cessors in office, as is now the case
with the Governor and Sheriffs, by
constitutional inhibition. Just what
the need is for this bill is hardly APP
parent. Public policy does not de-
mand it,. neither do the people, so far
as we have been able to discover. In
the majority of counties instances OF
the incumbents of these offices being
named as their own immediate sue
cessors are rare. When they do occur
the reason is sufficient and the reten-
ton in office of a popular man is alto
gether satisfactory, otherwise the yot-
ers WOULD not re-elect him. "

that the people OF Morristown are
patient and long-sutfering there can
be no shadow Of doubt when the con-
dition of our sidewalks and crossings
is considered. There is scarcely side-
walk in town where person can
walk two hundred feet with safety
while the sidewalks on Morris street
are a positive disgrace to the Town,
water covering them in places 70 the
depth OF an inch and more. There Is
not the slightest excuse for this state
Of affairs. The ordinances OF the town
provide all necessary authority for the
suppression of the nuisance and the
officers charged with the duty OF en-
forcing them draw their salaries regu-
larry, while the citizens endures the
discomfort. Judging from what Is
seen and heard a little wholesome as
cipline would be a good thing for Nor
TiStOWn.

UNDER a law just passed, hereafter
the Sheriffs of Essex and Hudson
counties will get a salary Of $4,000
each, all fees to go to the county.
This is very handsome salary, equal
to that paid the Governor, Chancellor
and Chief Justice. 1t is a thousand
dollars more than the salaries OF the
Supreme Justices and Vice-Chancel-
lors, 1t is three thousand dollars
more than the Attorney General re-
ceives. and four thousand dollars in
excess Of the salaries of the Secretary
OF State, Comptroller, Treasurer, Su-
preme and Chancery Court Clerks. 1t
Is expected that the gain to each coun-
ty, will be from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year. The salary is none too large for
the responsibilities that pertain to
the office Of sheriff.

There have been rumors for some
time that the present session of the
Legislature would cut down appro-
priations and would frown on all
schemes for fresh raids on the State
treasury, and some curiosityha been
manifested about the direction in
which economy would strike.
The first meeting Of the Appropria-
tions Committee was held Tuesday,
and it is evident from the start that
the rumors were we'll founded
The first business on hand is to find
out how much money will be required
to meet statutory demands, because
these dominate the available bal
ance.
The executive department the SUI
preme Court and Chancery items were
considered, and the amounts allowed
are practically the same as last years
items. considering the details the
Dufiield bill providing for an increase
in.the per diem Of some of the judges
it, was claimed that this would ado
S25, 900 to the court expenses. Nearly
every member Of the committee OPP
posed the proposition, When the
State Oyster Commission appropria-
tion was reached the $4,000 of last
year was cut to $4,000 and the items
were further reduced about $4,000, so
that the total reduction on this shelf
game will be about 81, 900.
The discussion over the items was
not had in public, but the facts were
soon disseminated through the State
House when the committee adjourned
and all the department men were
guessing where the economy would
strike next.
The appropriation of 80 per cent. of
the municipal school tax was decided |
upon and bill providing for this dis
tribution of million dollars of the |
States income to the municipalities
was introduced as a caucus measure.
This will distribute the entire amount |
from railroad taxation this
year. 1t was decided that this bill
should be passed in advance of the
regular appropriation bills.

THE question of sending water out
of the State is an important one and
is receiving due attention. Senator
Bachelor has introduced bill en-
titled An act to preserve and main
tain the lakes, ponds, brooks, creeks
and streams of this state, and to pre-
vent the waters thereof from being
carried by pipes, bitches or canals into
other states for use therein. and to
authorize the court Of chancery to as
sist in the observance Of this act. "
This act will be pushed along'a as rapid
lily as possible. The East Jersey Water
company, it is said, only awaits formal
consent of the New York authorities
to construct its conduits across the
Kill Won Kull to Staten Island, and
its plans completed, the water monop
oily would be in a position to defend
its position.
