OSTEOPATHY.

The Osteopaths of the State, are plan
ming to have presented to the Legisla-
ture a bill which will require licenses
for the members of the profession, in
much the same manner that the prac-
titioners Of the medical profession are
licensed.
Osteopathy has reached the point
where it has come to stay. This com
paratively new way of treatment has
much to commend itself, and the hun
dreds and thousands of people who
have been benefited by it's aid are all
testfying to its great worth. While
we have not reached the stage where
we would advise such treatment for ev-
erything, 1t does seem that osteopathy
is much better for some diseases and
complaints than all of the medicines
that have ever been invented for the
cure Of human ills.
Why should not the osteopaths be
given the same rights as other physi-
clans? We do not mean by this that
all who put out shingles with their
name and the word "Osteopath" I'M
derneath it should be allowed to prac-
tice. 1t would never do to let the os.
teopath who has had correspondence
school education practice freely, but
there are many of the profession now
in the state, who have taken just az
long a course in their branch of the
profession as have any of the old doc
tors. These latter should be recog-
nized by the state, and be allowed to
have an examining board, so that the
fakirs in the profession conld be stop
ped from practicing.
New York and Pennsylvania have
recognized the osteopaths, but every
effort to get them recognition in this
state has been defeated. The time
will soon come when the legislature
will see the justice of the claims OF
this new school, and will give them
the recognition they are entitled to-.

FOREST FIRES IN NEW Jersey.

In the midst Of storm aud with the
ground saturated the danger OF forest
fires seems remote, yet the State For
est Commission il preparing for what
may come within few weeks, and
this year hopes to be able TO report
fewer forest fires in New Jersey than
ever before.
The Forest Fire Service is now or
ganized in 80 townships, boroughs
aud cities, and the wardens are pre-
pared to promptly look after every fire
that may be started. More than this,
approximately 1870 miles Of fire lines
10 feet wide have been built by the
railroads across woodland property.
These should materially reduce the
number Of fires caused by coal burn
ing locomotives. Anyone who now
travels to the seashore will notice
these cleared lines at the most exposed
places along the railroad and few will
deny their value.
To these definite plans and provi-
Sons the Forest Commission addS an
appeal to the people Of the State each
to do everything possible to prevent
the starting Of forest fire. The
woodlands OF New Jersey, now large
ly wasted through fires and other
abuse, aggregate upwards OF 1000, 600
acres. This great area should be a
source of steady revenue to its own
ers, and to the State, instead Of yield
ing as it does only part of what it
is capable of producing. Forest fires
nowadays, even in dry seasons like
the last two, cause much less loss than
they did decade or more ago, yet
there must be no let-up in the effort
to stop them. We need wood and
should have the forests that produce
it. We can have both by stopping
! the fires and thereby encouraging the
property owners to practice forestry.

John l. PHILLIPS RETIRED.

John j. Phillips was retired March
lst by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, having reached the age of 20
years.
He has been in the service of the
railroad company for 46 years and has
seen remarkable development in the
transportation business in New Jer-
sey. When he went to work under
the late Stacy b. Bray in 1864, he had
worked in the wood business, provid-
ing feul for locomotives on what was
then the MISUNDERSTANDING Railroad.
Later, he came under the late Richard
Mcdowell as brakeman and fireman
and later was with "Sandy' Davis.
The road was taken over by the Penn
sylvania system and Mr.. Phillips
worked over other divisions in the
state. For some time he fran on the
old Somerset road, now long since
abandoned. Ten engineers with whom
he worked during these years have
died. For while he was car inspect
or at Kensington and Coalport, Tren-
ton. An accident forced him to give
up active duties on train and for
fourteen years he has been the faith
full fiagman at the Coryell Street cross
ing in this city.
With trainmen and residents alike
he is highly esteemed and many ex-
press the thought that the crossing
will seem different with another flag
man. During his long term of service,
he was never laid off day, and his
steady faithfulness in all seasons and
weather is shown by the company's
record during the last ten years he was
off only three days, these by sickness.
Mr.. Phillips with his wife, lives at 81
Elm street.
