EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE

EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE:
Among the many places that my
business takes me to during the year,
Morristown' from its very situation
and advantages has claimed particu-
larly my attention, although nature
has been very kind TO this town it ap-
pears to me that its inhabitants are
far from utilizing the many benefits
that they should possess.
1t is said that Morristown is an old
town, as Americans count age, it Ger
tainly is old, for although its neigh
boring communities are progressive
and up-to-date, it is now way behind
the times; it is living on its past record
and is antiquated in more ways than
one. Its streets have been notorious
ly Ill kept and it is said that after the
sewer system is completed, complete
resurfacing of the streets will take
place, 50 there is some hope that in
another season the streets will be in
better condition. The present type of
pavement may be sufficient for the
quiet residential streets, but, it is eyi-
dent to everyone that the business
streets and main thoroughafares
should be paved in a more modern
way, to withstand the heavy traffic,
the automobile tire being particular
ly destructive to the present macadam
roads which are not only dusty but are
wholly inadequate for present condi-
tions. Many towns are treating their
stone roads with oil or similar COM
pounds as dust layers or preVentiyes
and some are rebuilding the roads Ell
tirely using the same class of material
but with an asphaltic binding mater
ial instead of the clay that has been
so generally used in the construction
of the macadam roads and which is
largely the cause of most of the dust.
In the principal streets pavement
capable Of standing up under con-
tindOuS heavy automobile traffic
should be built, vitritied brick, gran
ite block, wood or any one of the TWEEN
tieth century pavements which will
solve the problem (the only national
solution of the question: 1t will
doubtless cost more money than tile
present inadequate pavement but the
resulting gain to the town even asa
matter Of advertisement will more
than compensate for the additional
outlay. The roadways OF the town
are not alone the subject of criticism
but the curb stones and sidewalks are
in the same category.

METHODS OF PROTECTING
/ FUR GARMENTS FROM MOTHS
Systems for Preserving Dyed Skins are Different
From Those Necessary to Keep I'm
dyed Garments in Condition.

Though there will be many cool days
this season. when furs will be desirable,
it is the part of wisdom to put away
heavy ones Immediately. particularly the
undyed kinds. for moths work into them
and lay eggs that later breed destroyers.
woman who, for one reason or anoth-
er. does not send her furs to be stored
through hot weather, may choose one of
several different ways of keeping them.
The preservative method most liked by
these who have room enough in which to
hang garments is bags of cretonne or
denim large enough to hold coat or cape
without wrinkling. Into these the gar
ments are put on hangers. A piece of
cotton is firmly fastened down over the
shoulders. SO that no crack shall be left
open. and the bag Is then pulled over the
draw string being gathered tight In this
condition the whole Is hung in a closet to
stay until cold weather No camphor or
other protection is necessary.
Care Of Undyed Furs.
1t should be distinctly understood that
this process is not for undyed furs. but
only for sealskin. black Persian lamb and
squirrel. IL it has been colored to simu-
late sable. Even these furs. however
will not go through the season success
fully If the closet is a warm one. for
darkness and heat generate moths or at
least are the ideal conditions under
which they flourish
No furs can be put away with safety

Removing Liver Spots.
by Simple Treatment.

Brown spots on the face are apt to
make their appearance at this season Of
the year. when the blood is in bad con-
dition and the liver is torpid. This last
condition is largely responsible for un-
slightly facial blemishes, and when they
take the form Of '.liver'' spots that organ
should be treated Immediately. For in
stance. a cathartic must be resorted to
il the liver has been inactive. Some kind
of blood purifier should also be taken.
Many persons like sassafras tea as a
purifier. 1t is made by sleeping two
tablespoonfuls Of the dried root, broken
fine, In three pints Of boiling water for
twenty minutes. 1t Is drank freely
through the day and may be sweetened
IL desired.
Eating pineapples Is also recommended,
for their juice has beneficial effect upon
the blood and skin, and II Is said that,
rubbed on the discolored skin, 1t will re-
move the blemish.
Diet Must Be Simple.
Great care must be taken with the diet
that it shall contain only the simplest
and most nourishing food. at the same
time kinds that can be easily digested.
Fresh fruits may form part OF the meals.
but any highly spiced or fried dishes
should be avoided.
