her of requests that are being received
daily by the New Jersey congressmen
for the government cook -book Is any
criterion. more than onc-half the
Women of the State are deeply inter-
ested in the subject of cooking, and it
is barely possible that the suffragetta
question has been temporarily side
tracked.
Listed as Farmers Bulletin No. 3s1,"
the cookbook, which is creating so
much interest, Is q treatise IN the
economical use of meat in the home.
While 1t has beer complied very large
ly by Miss Caroline l.. Hunt. an expert
in nutrition in the office of the expert
ment stations connected with. the de-
partment of agriculture. a mere man..
C. F. Langworthy. Phi. d., also an en-
| pert in the same line of research and
in charge of the office. gets joint credit
with. the woman in the case in M
preparation of the treatise from which
so much is expected in the way Of
teaching the housewives of the nation
practicaI lessons in economy.
The mail of all of the New JERSEY :
congressman has been augmented by
the large number of requests that are
being forwarded by housewives anxf
ious to ascertain what the government
experts have learned regarding econ~
only. and their desire TO get these facts

of the things which has had the great
est advance.
There is nue. interest among manu-
featuring chemists in New Jersey in
the bill Introduced by Senator Culloii1
regulating the sale of narcotics and
poisons. The bill in some respects has
the approval of the drug trade, While
there are some features in connection
with the proposed legislation that are
not altogether approved. The trade
does not see why the prohibition should
be applicable to plasters and think
there should be a clause exempting
ointments, plasters and liniments.
