Prosecutor Charles A. Rathbun says
there will be no action taken in
New Jersey regarding the death OF
Miss Lulu Bradley in a Morristown

While the young woman died in this
county the laws OF tha state are not
broad enough to cover the case, said
the prosecutor, and it is up to the
Easton authorities to prosecute.
Mr.. Rathbun has received a letter
from District Attorney William Nc
Keen, Of Easton, stating that the case
against DR.. Heller would be prosecut-
ed by him. Mr. Rathbun has offered
Mr., McKeen his assistance in any

ENGLISH GIRLS NOT AMAzoNS
Fondness For Athletics Not visibIs In
ProaenY. Scientist Says.

Gable dispatches have told Euro
peans Of the lament of John w Alex
ander, the portrait painter, and of Dr.
Dudley Allen Sargent of Harvard con-
cerning the effect of athletics on the
physiques of American women. John
Gray, secretary of the anthropomet'
rical committee of the British asso-
citation, does not think that. despite
the Englfshwoman' fo,adness for ath-
ietics, there is any permanent deterio-
ration in the beauty of the feminine
form observable on that side
Although he says, ''the present
fashion of women indulging in ath-
letics has influenced the modern wo.
mans figure, broadening her Shout
ders and waist perhaps and enlarg-
ing her hands and feet, such changes
are almost as temporary as the fash
ions which cause them An athletic
woman may carry the physical signs
Of her muscular prowess to the end
of her life, but the physique and form
of her children will not be influenced
In the least.
"The son of the brawny armed
blacksmith, as is well known, does
not inherit the huge muscles of his
father. In the same way the daugh-
ter of broad, fiat shouldered and
heavy handed athletic woman of to-
day win revert to The small hands
and the narrow bottle shoulders Of the
young woman of the early Victorian
period If she is brought up on early
Victorian nonathletic lines"

SOME AMUSING ACCIDENTS.

From a Wisconsin paper we take
the following:
"In glancing over our exchanges
we have discovered a number OF
cases where persons have been in
iured in various parts of their anat-
omy. Here are a few cases cited;
While Miss Pearl Kinsmore, OF
Portage, was coming down stairs,
she slipped and bruised herself on
the landing. Amos Mittleby, OF
Danville, while Harvesting a frac-
tious horse, was kicked just south
Of the corn crib. While Harold
Green, of Beaver Dam, was escort
ing Miss Cool home from a church

MARCH VAGARIES.

March was originally the first
month of the year, but in the var
ious arrangements of the calendar
it became the third, though in some
parts of the world, it is still reck-
oned the first. When it was the
first month, the year begun on the
25th. That day was the legal be-
ginning of the year in England till
1852, when Parliament ordered
that the year should begin on Jan.
1st. This difference led to Difficult
ty in fixing exact dates of notable
occurrences. Hence, many events
in January, February and a part OF
March bear two-year dates, as
1745-46. March is noted for dry
ness and clustering winds in its
early days, and marked the begin
ming of another of natures eyes.

HINTS FOR STOCK OWNERS.

The airships are flying high, but
they cannot overtake pork. The
humble pig has become the most
important animal on the farm.
March winds white the flesh
right off the COWS. Keep them in
out Of the cold.
Standing in the barn will spoil q
horse sooner than goodsteady work.
When you see his legs begin to
stock up, hurry and get him to
work at something, if it is nothing
more than exercising in the yard
every day. Keep that up till you
have some real business to do.
We would not hear so much
about pasteurizing in the creamery
if there were little more pasteurlz-
ing IN the dairy.
The farm animals are shedding
their coats, and the Peter Tumble
down COWS will soon show clean
tanks for the first time since last
fall.
If much chilled the lamb should
be taken at once to a warm room
and plunged in water as hot as the
hand will stand. Then wrap the
lamb in hot water and rub it dry.
If q eve loses her lamb she can
be taught to mother twin by con-
fining her in narrow stall.
A small quantity of oil meat is a
valued addition to the grain ration
at this time.
Keep the pens Jewel and dry.
Take pains to exercise the horses
and harden them up before the real
spring work begins. This is neces-
sary if you wish to avoid delays
and risks.

$500, 100000 SPENT FOR CANDY.

The American woman is known
for her sweet tooth. Neither in
London, Paris nor Berlin doyou see
so much candy eaten during the
matinee performances in the the
aires, nor are the CONNECTIONS made
to serve the purpose of informal
gifts to girls 81 much as here.
But it is rather surprising to
learn from a member of the breed
of indefatigable staticians that the
people of the. United States spend
little less than $500, 100000 year
on candy, and, Of course, the great
est amount is spent by or for wo-
men. Dentistry items are not in
Guided in the tables compiled by
the statisticians. For several years
it has been an acknowledged fact
that the United States consumed as
much candy as all of the rest of the
world put together, but since 1907
the candy appetite has grown to
such an extent that the United
States now accounts for two-thirds
of the entire candy output of the
civilized world.
1t is not generally known, how
ever, that immigrants are the
greatest consumers of candy in
America. In New York, fully one
half of the city's candy bill is said
to be paid by the men, women and
children of the tenement house dis
trict, and that becomes all the
more significant when differences in
prices between the Grand Street
and Broadway candy stores is TAX
en- into consideration.
Physicians, who are aware OF this
almost inordinate appetite for
sweets among the poorer classes,
say New York has every reason to
congratulate itself that it has
brought good instead of evil re-
suits.
Not many years ago most of the
candy sold, especially in the small
er stores, was almost poisonously
impure, injurious acids and dyes
being used in the manufacture.
Medical men say that if candy OF
that quality had been eaten in the
quantities that candy is eaten to-
day it would have had a terrible
effect on the health of the genera
ton now approaching maturity.
To-day, however, it is reasonably
safe to buy candy anywhere, and
its consumption is especially advo'
Gated in temperance circles as min
imizing the likelihood of the growth
of a taste for drink.
