ports on Swamp Drainage.
More Money Wanted.

There are fewer mosquitoes in this
State now than there were last year,
and next year the supply will be further
reduced, but still greater thar the de-
mand. At least that is what was said
last night at the meetingrof the State
conference committee on mosquito ex-
termination at the Board of Health.
Last August, the reports go on to say
the mosquitoes were here strong, but a
kindly wind blew the pests to Staten
Island.
State Entomologist C. B. Smith, bet
ter known as "Bugologist' Smith,
showed in his report that bitches had
been dug in all the salt marshes in the
northern part of the State. with the
exception Of a small tract at Secaucus,
which will be attended to in the near
future. The report further sets forth
that fourteen miles of ditching has been
completed in the marsh land in the vi
cinity Of Barnegat Bay. The territory
that will be started on this year is from
Perth Amboy south.
The State entomologist said consider
able money was needed. Two years ago
!, the State Legislature laid aside $S5O,00O
for the examination of the mosquito
Last year the Legislature appropriated
$40, 000 from this amount. More money
will be needed to carry on the work
this year, and the following resolution
was adopted;
Resolved, That we request the com
mittee on appropriations of the New Jer-
sey State Legislature to provide in the
supplemental bill for the fiscal year
ending October 81, 1908, for the sum of
I $50, 600 for MOSQUITO work under chap
ter 1874, laws of 1905, and in the regular
Z appropriation bill for the fiscal year
beginning November /, 1908, for the
sum of $50. 900 for the same purpose;
such amounts being, in u opinion, de-
sirable to carry on the work provided
for in said law most rapidly and to the
best advantage
Officers for the past year were re-
elected as follows: President, DR.. T.
! N. Gray, of East Orange; vice-presi-
dent. DR.. J. B, Thompson, of Airing
ION; secretary and treasurer, DR.. L, j.

Board of Health.

 The Court of County Commissioners have ordered an election for May IS. for the adoption of the act providing for the construction and maintenance of good public roads, bridges, etc. ap- proved October 10. lse3.- The Court d. vided the county into four road dis tricts, the same as the County Com missioners districts, and the purpose of the election is to ascertain whether it is the will of the people of each dis trict respectively that & tax on the
 
 tricts shall be levied and assessed for the purpose of contracting public roads and bridges in each of such road districts respectively. By. this means the districts are given the privilege to build and repair the. roads of their districts. independently. of the other portions of the county. While little interest Is thus far taken, it is gener- ally believed that the election will carry in all four districts and the road assessment adopted.
 The public roads are in a terrible condition and the people realize that something will have to be done to in some way improve them. as it Is al- most next to impossible to travel over some of them.

AN AGED PHYSICIAN After Years of Experience Gives the Following Advice

If you have anything to do with medicines at all be pretty sure you know what you are taking"
 Our local druggist, E. c. Fowler, says this is a strong point in favor or the valuable cod liver oil preparation. Vinol Everything 1t contains is plain ly printed on the label. therefore 1t is not a. patent medicine.
 Yinol contains in a highly concen- trated form all of the medicinal body building clements of the cod liver oil. actually taken from fresh cods' liv- CTS but with the useless. nauseating oil eliminated and tonic iron, which is a needful constituent for the blood added.
 This Is the reason that vinol ac- complishes such wonderful results in curing chronic coughs. colds. bron- chial and lung troubles. and there is nothing known to medicine that will so quickly build up the run down. over worked. tired and debilltated. or give strength and renewed vitality to the aged, as Vinol.
 We can only ask every person in Montgomery who needs such a medi- cine to try Vinel on our offer to return their money if 1t fails. F. c. Fowler DTuGRist. Montgomery. Ala
