FOREST FIRES.

The State Forest Commission has
sent warning throughout the State
regarding forest fires. Early spring,
just before the new leaves come out,
and when the dead leaves and brush
are dry, is the season of greatest dan
ger. Everyone should then be most
careful not to start forest fire, and
to put out at once any fire that is
found burning. Smokers in particular
are warned not to drop lighted
matches where they can cause fires.
All those who live in Townships in
which firewardens have been appoint-
ed must be careful not to violate the
law, which provides:
1. That no brush, waste, fallows
etc., may be burned without written
permit from a firewarden unless the
fire is made in public road, a garden,
or a plowed field, not less than 200 #.
away from any woodland or ground
containing dry grass or other infiam-
mable material.
2. That every fire startedin or near
a woods must be watched until it is
out. This includes camp fires and all
those set where no permit is required.
3. Anyone who disturbs a firewarn-
ing notice becomes liable to a fine of
$40. Whoever sets fire without a
permit, where one is required, becomes
liable to a fine of $40. Whoever
causes forest fire, becomes liable to
a fine from $50 to $500. A permit is
no release. Ignorance of the law is
no excuse.

HARRISONVILLE.

The April meeting of the Ladies'
Aid of the Harrisonville M. e. Church
met on Wednesday evening at the
home of Mrs. Jefferson Hurff.
All of our young folks that were
home for the Easter holidays have
returned to their different destina-
tions.
Mrs. Ollie Pimm and children Mil
dred, Parker and Willie are spending
a month with her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. S. P. Pimm.
Mr. Jacob Seend, one of our pros
porous farmers, has just had lightning
rods placed on his house and barn.
They were purchased of Stutt & Co.,
Philadelphia.
There are two young men working
on farm near here one of whom on
last Wednesday-G will be remember
ed it was raining) asked his boss if he
should give the horses corn. When
his boss asked him why he asked the
question when he knew it was a daily
custom, replied Il thought sure you
wouldn't want the horses to have
corn when it rains" At noon the boss
asked Jack IF he wanted any din
'ner," for, he said, s'it is raining and
surely you don't want any dinner.
Jack" has learned lesson for once.
Mrs. Saml S. Conover and Mrs.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Edwards and
daughter Mabel spent Sunday at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Morgan.
Miss Ellen Conover, daughter of our
townsman, S. S. Conover, a graduate
of the Trenton Normal School, and a
former teacher of Delair, has accepted
the position as principal of the Har-
risonville public school, as successor
to Mr.. George Tonkin.
Some of our farmers are preparing
to plant their citrons while others are
ridging for sweets.
A very pleasant surprise party was
given at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
David C. Lippincott on Saturday even
ing in honor of their daughters An
ma and Mary, in their beautiful home
on Main street We can safely say
that when tears come into play we
have all proof of their being surprised.
The evening was peasantly spent in
the playing of various games, music,
both vocal and instrumental. At an
early hour the guests were invited to
the dining room to partake of deli
cious refreshments. Just ask what
became of the chocolate cake? Guests
were present from Woodstown, Har-
risonville, Swedesboro, Evan and Null
lica Hill. Those who responded to
their invitations were: Misses Mary
and Anna Lippincott, Arthelia Jordan,
Mary Hansell, Ruth Albright, Olive
Mattson, Alice and Merton Bartholo-

tables, bread and butter, and fruit.
For patients working less than four
hours a day bread is to be used at
dinner only. Patients may have
water If they choose, and one cup of
coffee, unless the use of coffee is pro-
hibited by the visiting physician.
6. Patients who are working less
than four hours day shall have
supper of boiled rice and fruit, cheese
and crackers. Cereals may occasion
ally be substituted for rice.
In private practice, no positive rules
can be laid down to meet the require
ments of all cases. The bill of fare
must be made to suit individual cases;
but the advance and increase in the
amount of food taken must be as
rapid as the digestive organs can as
simulate it. The patient must be
weighed once week, the same day
of the week and as nearly as possible
at the same hour upon accurate and
reliable scales. An occasional day of
fasting has been found very beneficial
and is frequently advised. In several
instances it has been my pleasure to
observe cases that have applied for
admission and the crowded condition
of the Sanatorium has prevented them
from entering for many weeks. They
have asked for advice regarding diet
and method of living during the wait
ing period; in more than one instance
Improvement has been SO marked
from following the plan of feeding
alone that whens their turn for ad :
mission came it was not necessary for
them to enter the Sanatorium. Sub
sequent inquiry has shown that these
cases have made substantial gains
and are well on the road to recovery.
1t shows that, in the first or incuba-
tive stages of tuberculosis, the disease
can be arrested and apparently cur
ed by improving the nutrition alone.
1t would seem that, to establish a
healthy alimentation in the beginning
is more than half the battle.

ADVERTISING ASSESSMENTS
(From The Trenton Times }


The city of Easton, Pa, has made
arrangements to advertise in one Of
the local newspapers the list of prop
erty assessments, out of respect for
the sentiment that each person is en-
titled to know what taxes his neighbor
pays, and whether there has been dis
elimination shown by the assessors.
That such publicity will go far toward
correcting mistakes and preventing
favoritism there can be no doubt. AS
SCISSORS are not infallible. They make
errors both in judgement, arithmetic
and clerical work. For instance, it
was recently brought to the notice Of
the Times that a property in East
Trenton, assessed at $500, was with
difficulty sold for $4,000; another in
the westerly end was assessed at $40,
600, and sold for $500; still another
was assessed at $4,000 and sold for
$4,000.
The New Jersey courts have decid-
ed that the true value of property
is the price agreed upon by an owner
who is willing but not obliged to sell
and purchaser who is willing but
not compelled to buy. If the assessors
of the State know of that decision,
they show little evidence of it; and
that is why State Board of Equali-
zation and the County Tax Boards are
needed, and explains the passage of
the law Of 1908 which provides for
''the publication annually of the tax
list or duplicate or part thereof in
cities, towns, townships and other
municipalities in this State
Several municipalities are taking
advantage of this authority and ar
ranging for the publication in PAM
phlet form of their tax lists. Easton
has gone step farther, and will do
it's advertisin G in the newspapers, as
the best means of securing publicity
and aiding in correcting mistakes and
bringing about uniformity. The nat
ural inclination of the man who be-
lieves he is over assessed, is to protest
and secure redress either by reduc-
tion in the valuation of his prop
erty or an increase in that of his
neighbor's.
Any person can find out, by apply
ing to the assessors, the valuations
placed on properties in his neighbor-
hood; but this is not generally known,
nor is it convenient for all citizens to
apply for the information during the
hours when it can be obtained Pub
ication of the tax lists, either in PAM
phlet form or in the newspapers. will
spread the assessments broe Icast,
and while the cost will be considerable
the work may pay for itself in increas
ed receipts, not to speak of the public
satisfaction over securing uniformity
in valuations.
The close vote in the House this
week on the Nichols bill providing
for the abolition OF the county tax
boards indicates that pubic senti-
ment is about ready to get rid of those
| boards. Some other means of super
vising the work of the assessors mus
be adopted. That of advertising the
tax lists, and making of every prop
erty owner volunteer auditor, may
commend itself to the next legislature.
