EAT LESS MEAT.

The boycott against the Beef Trnst
going on all over the country is n
pretty good thing According to
some of the highest authorities, the
majority of people eat too much meat,
and it is wise move for them to try
and subsist on diet of vegetables,
cereals, and canned goods for Il while.
Lam bertville should take hand in
this matter. The only way to teach
the Beef Trust sautary lesson is to
get along without its products. No

Patrons OF the City Delivery are
reqnested not to put letters in the
mail boxes without stamps affixed.
Letters are dropped in the boxes with
out stamps, sometimes the pennies
are found but not always, which makes
it impossible to tell who paid the
postage on the letters. Letters found
without stamps are held at the Post
Office until party to whom the letter
is addressed is notified and forwards
postage for same. All patrons are re-
auested to keep a supply OF stamps on
hand. Do not detain the carriers by
giving them letters without stamps or
to make change.

Montgomery county poultryman. He
told the audience that he kept the ma
jorlty OF his laying hens laying from the
first OF October until the last of Febru-

at cost OF only one cent an egg.
Most farmers say ii requires an expen-
dlturc of FIVE cents to obtain chicken
egg in December Mr.. Vile told how
he did it.
at cost me S cents a day to feed IL
hens and now am obtaining on an
average five eggs from each dozen hens
daily. Now the secret lies in how to
produce the greatest number OF eggs
from the same number of hens. To
obtain that end proper breeding, feed
ing, housing and care are essential.
The ration | feed my laying hens and
which costs me only S cents daily for
IL chickens, is chosen because Of its
ready assimilation, and consists oil
sprouted oats, beef scraps, crosscut
bones and variety OF wheat, barley,
corn and little buckwheat. am very
careful to keep the chicken house well
ventilated and the floor Uttered with

SONG. BIRDS INCREASING

Newark Evening News: The cheer
lest news that has come officially from
Trenton for many years is that the
song birds are actually increasing in
New Jersey. According to an estimate
based on Government statistics there
are 38,a5o,ooo birds Of every kind in
this State. OF these large proportion
are Of the song and insect eating varie-
ties. The sparrows, the breechlo aiding
shotgun, the cats, snares, nest robbers,
etc, have been accused OF driving our
native birds away and decimating their
numbers, but, in spite of them all, the
officials at Trenton declare that the
song birds are becoming more nuner-
Gus.
There is hardly a man, woman or
child in New Jersey who will not re-
joice over this authentic information.
Laws have been enacted to protect the
birds; the school children have been
taught the usefulness Of the birds; the
farmers have been sh own how valuable
are their friends, the birds; the city
authorities have found the trees des
troyed where there was slack OF birds;
the Government at Washington has
urged the protection OF nearly every
k ind Of birds and at last these beautiful
and highly useful creatures are multi.
plying in numbers and gladdening
every one who understands their great
value.

there was the most ready disposition

count of this apparent cool indiffer-
ence. l like to trade at -, she
said: there the salespeople are so
nice and accommodating. Then the
little cleavage presented itself. arising
no doubt from the difference of dispo-
sition exhibited at the counters. A
mere man overhearing such conversa-
ton naturally arranges the facts so as
TO produce an explanation or to gather
therefrom a bit OF practical wisdom.
and In this case he did not have to go
far to reach a measure OF success. Ii
was always the manager OF the store
that came In for touch OF criticism.
and as just and careful as he might
be. was his temper and disposition
that permeated the entire establish
ment. When he frowned the store

nerves or ruin the stomach
To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work: they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-
tralized so IL will no longer be a
source OF irritation TO the bladder, and,
most of all, you must keep these acids
from forming In the stomach This
is the cause of stomach trouble and
poor digestion For these conditions
you can do no better than take the

Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by
shaking well in bottle and take in
