CLEAN BAKERIES AND FOUL.

AS result of the recent high price Of wheat
attention has been called TO one phase of the
bread problem. 1t is important that the price
of this staple article of diet should not be forced
upward for purely speculative purposes, for an
increase of price would work great hardship
TO thousands of families which find it difficult
to pay even the low price asked for the dayold
lOayes on sale at three cents each in the small
shops of the poorer quarter. But not less i'm
portant than the question of cheap bread is the
question of clean bread.
Unquestionably there are many bakeries in
the city in which the strictest sanitary measures
are enforced In n large bakery it is easily
possible for the inspectors Of the Health De-
partment to witness the operations of the bakers
and determine whether or not healthful prod
uct is being produced. but there are thousands
of small bakeries in the Easements of tenement
houses and in the crowded quarters of the city
which probably escape inspection from one
years end 10 another If the descriptions of
some of these places are TO he relied upon, they
must be veritable incubators for dangerous
germs and the cause Of a large amount Of dis
ease the origin of which is not apparent TO the
health officers who discover il.
Whatever may he true of some of the de-
mands of the East Side bakers who are threat

make for clean bakeries and sanitary surround

Chicago's harbor practically will be freed from
smoke this summer II the city department of smoke
inspection can accomplish this feat. Tugboat men
especially will be asked to do their share in put
ting In smoke redueers and consumers, and all
steamship owners and shippers will be informed of
what the commission hopes to accomplish in the
harbor and will be asked to cooperate.
The smoke problem in the harbor Is of the
most serious difficulties that confronts at this
time said Thomas Z. Donnelley, chairman OF the
commission. Last year undertook to abate the
smoke nuisance there, but We compelled to
give most OF our time to the solution Of the prob
lem presented by the railroads This spring and
summer will have time to work the
solution in the harbor, and We hope before the
summer Is lar advanced TO have eliminated at
least the worst OF the evils arising from the smoke

NEWSPAPER CRITICISM.

From The Washington Post.
The tendency OF the newspapers of to-day is
toward saner comment a falrer point of view.
Few reputable Journals indulge In personal attacks
and these are mostly confined to the discussion OF
municipal affairs and the men engaged In them.
The day of the oldtime vituperative journalist Is
over, The world prefers sane thoughts rather
than the scintillatioLs OF a pen dipped In venom.

Doinas OF the Junior Mechanics

A committee appointed to arrange
for the coming anniversary banquet of
Beach Council, No. 157, has recommen-
ded Friday evening, the fifth of March
as a suitable time for holding this
event.
The Juniors are making active prep
arations to be on hand for the flag
raising on the Twelfth of February.
Councils from all over the county are
to be invited and every Junior on the
beach should be on hand to welcome
them. We hope to have three hundred
Juniors in line. In the evening the
lodge will give a smoker after the regu-
lar business has been transacted.
The question of the state school fund
was taken up by the order at the last
regular meeting and the following reso-
lutions unanimously adopted.
Whereas, Governor ]. franklin Fort
in recent communication has recon-
mended the taking of 5000, 600 from our
school fund for the purpose of defraying
other sundry expenses of The state.
Whereas, State Councillor Grafton
Day and State Council Secretary VIM.
III. Meirs have fearlessly exposed this
shameful attempt to cripple our pub
lie school system.
Whereas, the aforesaid J.. Franklin
Fort has further stated that the afore-
said Grafton Day and VIM. I'll. Meirs
spoke as individuals and not as repre-
sentatives of this order.
Be it resolved, that Beach Council,
No. 157, Jr. o. U. A. NJ, heartily APP
proves of the courageous stand which
our state officers have taken and Pied
ges its cooperation in any measures
that will strengthen our public school
system.
Be it resolved, that Beach Council,
No. 157, Jr. o. U. A. NJ, most thor
oughly disapproves the recommends
ton of the chief executive as we under
stand it.
Be it resolved, that Beach Council,
No. 157, Jr. o. u. A. M, earnestly re-
quest our representatives in the state
legislature assembled to vote at any and
all times against any attempt to divert
monies from our state school fund.
Be it resolved, that a copy of these
resolutions be sent to State Councillor
Grafton Day, TO State Council Secre-
tary VIM. III. Meirs, to State Senator
Robert E. Hand and TO Assemblyman
Corsville Stille, and be printed in all
local papers.

Easter Chorus

When the large chorus met in the
Wildwood Baptist church last night to
rehearse the cantata "Daniel'' it was
observed that the singers of the island
were enrolling rapidly, determined
that when the Easter visitors arrive
they shall have an artistic musical re-
ceptiOn that will show conclusively
that the island appreciates their an
nual spring visit Anglesea, Wild
wood and Holly Beach are all Welt
represented in the chorus, all the
churches sending representatives. 1t
speaks we'll for the general interest of
the beach to find interested in the un-
dertakinp a. singers, led by Postmaster
Livezey, physicians, lawyers, business
men, principal of the high school,
teachers and prominent solOists. Rev.
HalloweIl announces between 20 and
so already enrolled. There should be
$50 voices in The chorus. 1t is urged
that all whn can sing a little be pres

Homes Needed for Children

G. V. Williams, superintendent of
the New Jersey Children's Home
society, of TIenton, that
homes are needed in families for little
children that are now in the care O the
society. Especially are homes needed
for little babies. The society does not
ask the legal adoption, but it does ask
that every child be treated as n ofthe
family, and those unadopted remain as
wards of the society. The society has
many bright children in its care for
whom homes are needed, and some of
the leading people in the state have
been glad to receive the little orphaned
children. Anyone interested can cor
respond with MI. Williams at Trenton.

Look at Both Sides
From the Camden Post Telegram.

ORN
Members of the Junior Order of
American Mechanics are men of in
telligence and can form their own
lnpinionnfthe adYisahiliiX ofthe- aolicxl
of diversion of an increased portion of
the railroad taxes from the public
schools to the States use, as suggested
by Governor Fort. They should not
blindly array them-elves in opposition
without studying the question, SO that
they can as citizens, irrespective of
secret society affiliations, formulate an
intelligent opinion.
Nor should those of the order who
adhere to Republican principles forget
that this question is rapidly taking on
a partisan aspect, the Democrats in the
Legislature lining up in opposition be-
cause they see a chance to embarrass
the Republican administration by COM
polling the levying of a State tax
which would provide an issue for the
Democratic party in the next State
campaign.
Governor Fort has simply presented
certain indisputable facts regarding the
States finances. He frankly says that
he sees but one of two remedies that
may be applied. But he would well
come any other practical and per-
manent solution of the question.
Here is an opportunity for the OPP
ponents of the Governors plans. Let
them present some other remedy. 1t
is not enough to say that the Legisla-
ture can reduce appropriations to in
stitutions and departments and cut off
expenses so that The schools shall still
have their millions from the State rail-
road tax; the opposition must show
specifically where economy can be
practiced without arousing a popular
protest. They must also justify the
jump in public school e. expenses amount
ing to nearly 100 per cent. | n four
years.

COMMON SENSE

Leads most Intelligent people to use only
medicines of known composition. There
fore 1t Is tha4 DR.. Pierce's medicines, the
makefs\0f which print every ingredient
entering kn&o Them upon the bottle wrap
pers and ATTEST its correctness under oath,
are daily grSHlng in favor. The COM
position of Dk.l Pierce's medicines is open
Z everybody,vDr. Pierce being DESTROYS
of having the searchGght of inYestigA.
Eon turned fully upon his formul@, being
confident that the better the compQsltlon
OF these medicines Is known the more
will tbeir great curative merits be recog.
nized.- Being wholly made of the active
medicinal principles extracted efrom ma
tive forest roots, by exact processes
original with DR.. Pierce, and without the
use of a drop of alcohol, triple-reined and
chemically pure glycerine being used in
stead in extracting and preserving the
curative virtues residing in the roots
employed, these medicines are entirely
free from the objection of doing harm
by creating an appetite for either al
coholic beverages or habit : forming
drugs. Examine the formula on their
bottle wrappers-the same as sworn to by
DR.. Pierce, and you will find that his
uGolden Medical Discovery" the great,
blood-puriier, stomach tonic and bowel
regulator-the medicine which, while not
recommended to cure consumption in its
advanced stages Ono medicine will do that
yet does cure all those catarrhal condi,
tions of head and throat, weak stomach,
torpid liver and bronchial troubles, weak
lungs and hang-on-coughs, which, If neg.
lected or badly treated lead up to and
finally terminate in consumption.
Take the uGolden Medical Discovery
IN time and it is not likely to disappoint
you If only you give it q thorough and
tdtr trial. Don't expect miracles. 1t
won't do supernatural things. You must
exercise your patience and persevere in its
use for a reasonable length Of time to get
its full benefits. The Ingredients of which
DR.. Pierce's medicines are composed have
the unqualified endorsement Of scores of
medical leaders-better than any amount
Of lay, OF non-professional. testimonials.
They are not given away to be expert
mented with but are sold by all dealers In
medicines at reasonable prices.

MISREPRESENTATION
Wildwood Avenue Wildwood, N.
Nichols in The Lead

Assemblyman Nichols of Cumber-
land county has not forgotten the lay
of the land in the House, having served
as a member in 1S77-'78. He was
Johnny on the spot" when the intro
duction of bills was permitted and was
the first to gain the Speakers eye and
enjoying the distinction of putting the
first bill on the calendar.
Assembly Bill No. l is a short and
mild happening measure, its half-dozen
lines simply repeating a supplement to
a tax act. But when one looks up
this supplement, in the laws of 1906,
he finds that the effect of Mr.. Nichols
little bill will be 10 wipe out of exist
ence every county board of taxation in
the State.
We need hardly say that Assembly
Bill No. l will engage considerable at
tention. The significance of the
Speakers recognition of Mr.. Nichols to
afford the measure an advanced posi-
ton on the calendar, and the further
action or the speaker In referring IL 10
the Committee on Revision of Laws of
which MI. Pierce of Union is chair
man, rather than to the Judiciary
Committee, where it would he in
charge of the majority leader, Mr..
Lewis, is not to be disregarded in
weighing the chances of its passage in
the House,
Two similar bills have been intro
duced in the Senate, by Mr.. Gaunt
of Gloucester county, and the other by
Mr.. Silver, of Middlesex.
