Director of the State Agricultural
Experiment Station at New Bruins

In discussing this matter, Professor
Voorhees, said: The instruction to
be given will be altogether practical.
The students will be taught how to
cultivate the different soils in the
different sections of the State, as well
as the adaptability Of the various
soils to the raising of crops of the
greatest market value. The farmers
located at points distant from mar
kets will be taught how to make their
farms more profitable by methods Of
natural improvement, by the selec-

Just what form the expected action
against officials of the West Jersey
and Seashore Railroad Company, for
alleged carelessness and negligence
in connection with the Thoroughfare
drawbridge wreck, will take, has not

z Senator Elkins, in a recent speech,
spoke wisely when he said that
money is concentrated power. In a
mans pocket it is loyal and unfail-
ing friend, an order on the world for
his breakfast and his clothing, in all
countries and in all climates. 1t is
only the possession of another mans
money that is an evil. We have
found out how TO create wealth
enough for all the world, but we have
not found out how to keep a few
from absorbing more than they can
use" But we are always struggling
with these great economic questions,
adds the Christian Register, and it is
the mark of cowardice to cry out be-
fore the solution.

4 Cheerfulness at meals, sayory food,

rest, writes Dr. Thomas L. stedman,
In Good Housekeeping. The kind Of
food and its preparation may be left
to individual taste and instinct. These
are guides which we may follow with
implicit trust. Our part is to see that
the food is well cooked, Hastily served,
thoroughly chewed, and taken in
moderation. So long as the yiands
are relished and eaten with cheerful
ness. we may be sure that they will
serve their purpose. Even fried food.
if savory and thoroughly masticated,
