Breads for the School Lunch.

The selection of bread for the school
sandwiches is an important matter,
and should be suited to the require
ments of the individual child. For
some, .grahams and brown breads are
of distinct advantage, while to Others
they may do harm. 1t is not what
is eaten, but what is assimilatcd that
nourishes the body. For steady diet,
fine whole wheat bread is undoubtcd-
ly best, containing as it does the min
eral elements needed for the building
up Of bones and teeth. 1t is easy OF
digestion, and creates no irritation OF
the digestive or nervous system as
coarse graham bread is apt to do.
Rye bread, which also contains a high
percentage of phosphates and iron, is
wholesome, though child is apt to
tire Of it for steady usage. A cream
loaf OF fine wheat IS also nOurlshlng
and delicate. Milk rolls lightly ba-
ken, split open and filled with what
ever filling may be desired, corn meal
mullins, beaten biscuit, nut breads
and baking powder biscuits cut out
with a tiny cutter may all be used to
vary the daily menu. Crusts of bread
may be trimmed off or not, as pre-
ferrcd. Where they are delicately
Drowned and tender they are both
toothsome and economical. This is
the good old Quaker teaching. The
bread must be sliced thin and evenly,
however, to make it appetizing.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS

Freight rates on agricultural lime have
been reduced from LcGore, Md, TO MI
points on the W. NJ r. r. This is Of great
importance 10 you, as it puts you in posi-
ton to get the best land improvcr and crop
grower on the market at very reasonable
prices
Our lime is shipped hundreds Of miles and
into ten (0) different states for agricultural
use, and its superior quality has been known
for years We can manufacture the best
lime on the market because we have the
best formation of limestone in the East
And we have had experience enough to
know how to proportion the different kinds
or stratas Of rock SO rs to produce the best
agricultural lime manufactured
Ten years ago our lime WAS used by the
farmers along this road in very great guam
titles, Int the high rates instituted by Mr..
Griswold made the price prohibitive. Very
reasonable rates are now in effect and we
are looking forward to building up very
large trade along this line We would like
to correspond with all farmers who desire
to mike more money by improving their
farms and growing letter crops A postal
addressed to us will bring full particulars

North Tube Of Hudson River Tune!
COMPLETED,

COmplotel.
It is seldom indeed that an enter
prise so vastly important rs the con-
struction Of the two great railroad
tubes by means of which the Penn.
sylvania Railroad Company is to gain
a long sought admission into the city
of New York beneath the Hudson
River, is forced to its completion with
such rapidity and with such little os-
tcntation. Public attention has been
centcrcd upon the huge excavation
for the terminal on Manhattan Is
land, and upon the serious Difficult
ties which have attended the driving
of the tubes beneath the East River;
and since the sinking OF the shafts
for the Hudson River tubes, practi-
cally nothing has been heard of the
truly remarkable speed with which
the two tubes were being pushed
through to connection beneath the
river. Work on the tunnel proper
commenced on the New York side on
April IS, 1904, and on the Jersey
side on September I of the same year.
The shields of the north tube met on
September ~, and at the present av-
eragc rate of driving the shields Of
the south tube will meet about the
7th of next month.
The Improvements now under way
for giving admission to Che Pennsyl-
vania Railroad to New York and
Long Island will cost altogether about
800, 600. The North River di-
vision of this work, extending from
the new terminal at Thirty-third
Street and Eighth Avenue to the
Hackensack Meadows, west of the
Palisades, has a total length of 49,
700 feet, and the length of the tun-
mel proper, lying directly beneath the
Hudson River, is 6, 100 feet. The
tunnels on both sides OF the river
were driven through rock without the
use of shields, to as great distance
as the nature of the material would
allow, and in this portion Of the work
serious and rather puzzling obstruc-
tons in the way of piles, cribwork,
and riprap, were encountered. AS
soon as the river mud and silt We're
entered, the shields were set up and
the driving progressed steadily and
rapidly and with Il remarkable alb
sence, for this kind of work, OF ia
talities and serious accidents. One
miner lost his life by being suddenly
submerged in quicksand, and there
was one death attributed to the ef-
fccts of compressed air. 1t must not
be supposed, however, that the sue
cess in driving the tunnel was due to
the absence of difficulties of a physi-
cal nature; for the greatest care had
to be exercised in maintaining the
pressure 1T the proper point to pre-
vent sudden blowout and the In
flow of quicksand into the tube. This
was particularly the case on the Jer-
sey side, where, at the depth of IS
feet, a iroely-fowing quicksand was
encountered. On the New York side,
moreover, not far beyond the bulk

The Slavery Of Superstition.

"There is no form of mental slavery
so torturing as the slavery of supersti-
tion," says Lillian Bell in the Decem-
Der Delineator. "We are fond of rele-
eating believers in it to the unenlight-
ened, but few are the men and women
to-day who are perfectly free from it
in some shape. And after all, what
dees it amount to but fear? Fear of
disappointment or disaster. We spend
our lives in the shadow of a great fear.

friends. But my heart is wrung with
the same sympathy for an unnecessary
and inexplicable fear which is allowed
to torture and make miserable livei

MuIkey on the Mail Order House.

The mail order business is the quack
doctor of commerce. II promises much
and guarantees nothing. Like some
patent medicines, the directions are on
the inside and you have to buy non.
returnable package before you can find
out what they are. No mail order house
ever helped to build the little white
school house in your district, to turn
pike the road past your door. No mail
order house ever took You by the hand
when you were in distress and told you
to let that little account go until after
harvest next gear. No mail order house
ever rejoiced with you and your neigh.
Dor when you were glad, nor spoke en-
couraging words to you in affection,
nor stood with uncovered heads beside
the grave when your loved ones died.
No mail order house ever sold you an
article and then spent every cent Of
the profit 10 the community where you
aud your neighbor could get it back
again. Stand by your local dealer as
he stands by you. with his time, bis

CONSTRUCTION WORK ALL LET.
South & Western Has Entirely Abandoned
Work On New Roadway.


The South & Western railway has
entirely abandoned the building of its
own railway, having now let the entire
distance yet to be constructed to con
tractors. Consequently number Of
men who have been employed by the
road in connection with the work of
construction will leave the employ of
the company or will go into other de-
partments. Two paymasters have gone
aud it is said that others will leave
this department January 1.
At first the South & Western did its
own construction exclusively, but
gradually the roadway was let piece by
piece until the road now has no more
active construction work. All that will
be necessary in this department will
be to retain supervising engineers and
their corps of assistants and celk ks and
the number of these will be small.
The South & Western is expecting
its entire clerical force at johnson
City, the future headquarters of the
road, by January /, or shortly thereaf-
ter. The transfer was to have been
made last Friday, but was delayed by
failure to complete the Office buildings
of the company, The electric lighting
apparatus is not in working order, and
the walls have not been papered. =

MACK SMITH SHOT AT JOYESBORO.
Fatal Bullet Fired by Paul Garst Without
Moments Warning,

The second homicide in Washington
county, Tenn, within a week occurred
near the Southern railway passenger
station at Jonesboro shortly afternoon
yesterday, when Paul Garst, aged
twenty, of Jonesboro, shot and almost
instantly killed Mack Smith, another
well known young man of that commu-
nifty.
The two young men had some troub-
lie about two months ago over a gun
and there had been bad blood between
them since, The quarrel which led di-
rectly to the killing began in Ed Boyd's
store in Jonesboro Just before noon
yesterday. Mr.. Boyd ordered the boys
out Of his place. After dinner they
metagain near the passenger station
and renewed the quarrel. elimination
and recrimination led to an eShange of
blows, and suddenly and without warn
ing young Garst jerked from his pock-
ct 32 calicre Iver johnson revolver
and fred the contents of one chamber
into Smiths stomach. The ball took
effect just at the left of the navel and
Smith fell to the ground mortaliy
wounded, He lived only 70 minutes
after the fatal bullet pierced his stom-
ach.
Garst quickly made his escape, but
later, when informed that bloodhounds
from Johnson City were on his trail,
he telephoned the officers that he would
surrender peacefully which he did
Both parties are of very respectable
families and reside three miles from
Jonesboro.
1t seems that the report that Garst
was captured was mistake, as the
sheriff of Washington county came to
Bristol last night on train No. 2, arriv-
ing here at 1920, in search of Garst.
He returned to Jonesboro on the mid
night train without learning anything
of the fugitive. Bristol Herald.
