to supplement them, especially dur.

Dr. Emerson told of the proper care
a sufferer Of the disease should take
and asserted that the chances of infec-
tion Id Liberty, N. Y, were one-half
what they we're in Morristown, the
patients having been instructed how
to care for their sputum.
Expectoration upon the sidewalks
was discussed by DIR. Emerson and he
said the New Jersey law should be
changed SO that an arrest could be
made upon sight as it is in New York
state and making it unnecessary for
the officer to secure warrant before
he can hale the offender into court.
DR.. Emerson closed his lecture by
showing several stereopticon slides,
including charts of the death rate In
different localities, conditions preva-
lent in the New York tenements, and
sanatOriums and camps.

CARING FOR TREES.

Memb bers of Shade Tree Commission
Have Several Problems to Solve.
Morristown's shade tree commission
has several problems under considera.
tion for the betterment of the condi.
tions of the trees of the town. The
beetle that visited Morristown last
year and devastated so many of the
elm trees it is feared will make an.
other visit this year and the commits
sion will not be found mapping but is
getting it's machinery ready for the
expected invasion in May.
The scraping OF the limbs Of trees
against electric light wires is being
attended to and many limbs have been
cut from trees for this reason. The
limbs wear off the Insulation of the
wire and cause short circuit which
either burns the tree or the wire is
severed and the two ends drop to the
ground menacing the lives of passers-
by.
The gnawing of the trees along the
streets by horses is a problem that is
being met. The commission has passed
an ordinance prohibiting the tieing of
horses to shade trees with a fine i'm
posed of not more than ten dollars for
every offense. The police have been
diligent in the matter, says Mr.. Burn.
ham of the commission, and many Of
tenders have been caught and warned
and some have been fined. One parti-
cularly bad feature is the custom of
boys driving delivery wagons driving
up to house and stopping near tree
and not tieing their horses while maxi
ing deliveries. The commission will put
stop to the practice if possible. The
selection of proper box for the pro-
lection of the trees is also being con-
sidered and the relative merits of
wire screens, a wooden box or iron
rods being looked into.
The setting out of trees along streets
where there are none at present is be-
ing considered but it is feared the
town can not afford to do much along
this line.

The Pennsylvania r.. r.. Go. Furnishes
instruction in Agriculture.
AS the initial step ina campaign to
arouse more interest in scientific
farming in New Jersey, the State
Agricultural college and the Pennsyl-
vania railroad are to cooperate in
running farmers educational train
through southern New Jersey on
March 8, 8, and 10. Nineteen stops
will be made, and at each of the sta
tions lectures will be given on soil fer
tility, potato and strawberry produc-
tion. alfalfa, corn, and dairy products.
II is believed that the adoption
of more improved methods of farm
ing In New Jersey will greatly in
crease its agricultural output, and
1t is this which the State Agricul
tural college and the Pennsylvania
railroad will urge upon the farmers.
This movementAalso typifies the many
methods adopted by the Railroad COM
pany to create traffic for its lines by
promoting the betterment of che coun-
try through which it operates
To advertise the Farmers Special,
large posters giving all particulars of
the train are to be displayed in prom
inent places in the section through
which it is to run. In addition, de.
tailed information concerning this
unusual train will be placed before
the farmers by personal letters from
the State college authorities.
Two cars of the train will be fitted
up as lecture rooms. Upon the arri-
val OF the train at each station, farm
ers will be invited TO take seats in
these cars. Stops will be of fifty min
utes, during which time four twenty
five minute lectures will be given, two
in each car. In addition, pamphlets
on dairy management, fertilizer for
mulaS, potato culture and other SUBJ
jects will be distributed among the
audiences for permanent reference or
study.

THIRTEEN INAMERICAN HISTORY
The Hoodoo Number Does Not Seem
to Hold Good.

In connection with American his
tory the number 49, has played an
important part says the Taylor
Trotwood Magazine"
:" All things considered, we may be
justified In saying that our great,
glorious and ever soaring king of the
air, the American eagle, was born not
quite one hundred and twenty-six
years ago, and is hoodoo' or mas
cot as we care to view the number
13. The American eagle requires
thirteen letters to spell it, as does the
motto of our seal, Il Pluribus Unum,
and that Of the great seal of the
United States, Annuit Coeptis.
Above the head Of the eagle are
thirteen stars. and the olive branch
has thirteen leaves, while the thunder
bolts also number thirteen.
"On the eagles breast is the shield
that has thirteen bars, and each wing
has thirteen feathers.
1.-THE number thirteen is distinctly
American. There we're thirteen coli
onies, and America was discovered on
the eve of the thirteenth day of the
month. The first official stars and
stripes, adopted June Ia, 1777, had
thirteen stars and thirteen stripes.
1.-The war of 1916 was called Revo-
lutionary,' and though it took the un-
luckily number of thirteen letters to
spell, it was successful. Our flag was
saluted by thirteen guns when Wash
ington raised it, and by thirteen cheers
as we'll.
" The American navy had just thir-
teen vessels at the outset, no more,
and the founder of it, John Paul
Jones, was not hoodoo' as naval
officer, although his name is composed
of thirteen letters. He was exactly
thirteen years old when he first came
to America and was the first to carry
the thirteen starred flag to glory and
victory, and to have it saluted by a
foreign power on the thirteenth day OF
the month";
