Pollntilg the whippanxi

An inspector of the state board of
health has been making an investiga-
tion of the pollution of the Whippahy
river for several weeks past, visiting
houses on property near tile river and
its tributaries and testing the plumb
ing to see whether the waste pipes
emptied into the streams. AS a result
of his labors property owners along
the Whippany and also along Spring,
Pine and other streets have been noti-
fed to appear at the office of the staJe
board of healdh and show cause why
they should not be ordered to cease
polluting the streams.
The general opinion seems to be
that nothing will be done by the prop
erty holders until the sewer system is
finished. This is expected to be in
operation by next summer.
Just why this action is taken at this
time by the state authorities when
the streams have been severed into
for years is not known unless because
Of the low water in the Whippany and
the Passaic making the presence of
sewage more noticeable than usual.
At Little Falls the East Jersey Water
Co., takes water from the Passaic for
use in Essex county towns.
DR.. Mills. secretary of the local
board of health, with counsel Quayle,
went TO Trenton to-day to represent
the citizens of Morristown, and will
doubtless secure respite until the
completion of the sewer system here
when the state board will insist that
connections shall be made and all po-
luton of streams be stopped. The
state board is also taking up the sub
ject of dumping garbage where it will
wash into the streams and will take
immediate steps to stop the nuisance.

senator Mcbride boosts MIX.

John A. Mcbride, who was State
Senator from Sussex twenty odd years
ago, is attracting some attention in
New York these days because he is
president of the Milk Exchange and
thus interested in raising the price of
milk to nine cents quart to co1sum-
ers. This may make the Senator un-
popular at this end of the line, but up
where his dairy farm is the farmers
think that John is just about right.
Dairy farming does not pay as well as
it used to, what with the drought and
the sanitary regulations and the people
down in the cities can afford to pay
nine cents. Only few years ago tliey
paid ten cents quart without grumb-
ling The farmers believe they have
been selling milk too cheap. Senator
Mcbride lives on his farm up IN Wan
tage township, so close to the state
line that he gets his mail in New
York state.

The Fourteen Errors Of Life.


The fourteen mistakes of life Judge
Rentoul told the Bartholomew club
are:
To attempt to set up our own stand
lard of right and wrong and expect
Everybody to conform to it.
To try to measure the enjoyment Of
iothers by our own.
To expect uniformity Of opinion in
Itais world.
TO look for Judgment and experience
Ein youth.
TO endeavor to mould all disposi-
tiDns alike.
Not to yield in unimportant tribes
TO look for perfection in our own
ACTIONS.
To worry ourselves and others about
what cannot be remedied.
Not TO alleviate if we can all that
needs alienation.
! Not to make allowances for the
weaknesses of others.
To consider anything impossible
that we cannot ourselves perform.
TO believe only what our finite
minds can grasp.
70 live as II the moment, the time,
the day were SO important that 1t
would live forever.
TO estimate people by some outside
quality, for it is thai within which
makes the man. -" London Evening
