New Jersey Justice

From the New York Telegraph.
 That squire over Jersey way who has been indicted after a long career with the telescope used against hapless motor ists not so long ago wrote to Frank Howe of Philadelphia something after this fash ion:
 Dear Sir-Your car passed through my town last Sunday at the rate of 40 miles an hour You are hereby fined $15. Please remit"
 MT. Howe replied, explaining that his car had been in the garage on the Lord $ day mentioned, and that he never had been through the town in his life. In an- swer he received this:
 Dear Slr-YoVr explanation is satisfac- tory Your fine is hereby reduced to 50. Remit at once.'

Manufactured Milk

FrOm TIL BltS.
 ! Cows are not numerous in Japan, but the Japanese are fond of milk and to meet this demand in the face of natural
 shortage, they long ago put their wits to work and evolved product that the average person cannot distinguish from the regular dairy article.
 The artificial milk is derived from the sofa bean. The beans are first soaked, then boiled in water. Presently the liquid turns white sugar and phosphate of pot ash in proper quantities are added. and the boiling continued until. a substance the thickness of molasses Is obtained, This fluid corresponds very accurately with ordinary condensed milk, and when water is added cannot be told from fresh. If the present rise in the price of British milk continues we can foresee big run or sofa beans. Now, MT. Milkman, be- warel

Red-Blooded American Heroes
DAVID PORTER, HERO OF THE PACIFIC

David Porter was ordered to
the Pacific ocean in the ship Es-
sex in 1912, and after a long and
Itiresome voyage he arrived at VAL
paraiso, Chile, to learn that the
viceroy of Peru was making war
against American merchantships,
and the arrival of Porter was oc-
casion for great rejoicing.
Admiral Porter at once sailed
up the Peruvian coast, capturing
corsair that had taken two
American ships, seizing the en-
emy's ammunition and throwing
her ornaments into the sea. The
American prisoners were released.
From Peru he sailed to the
Galapagos islands, where he en-
countered a score or more of
British whalers. AT that time
America and England were at war,
and Porter took the ships after a
brief battle, turned them into
fighting ships and sailed with the
squadron for the Marquesas ISL
ands in the south Pacific.
BY this time he was running
short of supplies, and it was with
joy that he and his crew sighted
land one evening just at dusk, and
dropped anchor in broad, beau
tifu1 bay, the shore lined with
palm trees. Shortly afterwards
three men in canoe padded out

lof cove and drew alongside. All
of them were white, two of them
Americans, the third an English
Imam who had lived on the island
flor 20 years.
From these men Porter learned
the state of affairs in the Mar
quesas. A bitter tribal war was
on, and Porter was told that he
could best secure needed supplies
by helping the Techs. According
ly he went on shore the next day
and sent word to the tribes that
he had come to aid the Techs.
There was but little resistance,
which he readily subd1ed, and
took possession of the islands in
the name of the United States.
With ships loaded with tropical
fruits, fresh water and other sup
plies, he started homeward, but In
a stubborn battle with British
ships he was defeated and taken
lprisoner.
He regained his freedom at the
end of the war, and served Amer
lea with valor on the high seas for
many years. At one time, ne was

WHY?
Hot weather does not kill
babies in itself.
Deaths are chiefly due to the
effects Of the hot weather upon
the food.
That's the solution of the whole
problem. To save our babies We

men 100000 annually. Here
We have a new set of beneficiaries:
bicycle dealers, automobile sales
men, harness makers.
1t costs $50 a year to keep a
horse which is constantly on the
road properly shod and to keep
vehicles in ordinary repair or
100000 more to another set
of beneficiaries: horseshoers,
blacksmiths, wheelwrights.
Small merchants in country
districts come in for their share
of prosperity from the r. F. D.,
too. They sell the R. F. D. men
heavy lap-robes, storm-robes and
overcoats for cold weather; and
raincoats and rubber lap-covers
for rainy weather. They profit to
the extent of about $1,00O,O00
annually, which is allowing but
$25 for each mail carrier, and
certainly that amount is small
enough.
Thus we find the R. F. D. men
spending $18,000,000 annually
for equipment, which is approx
mately half of their income.
But If the $18,000,O0O net in
come looks pretty big, divide it
by 100000, the number of men
to whom it is paid, and you will
find that each man has $3.50 per
year as his net wages.

Dutch get good drainage for their
wet lands. Thus they are enabled
to do great things in dairy farm
ing.
The Dutch are persistent folk.
We thought we were doing great
things when we undertook the
Panama canal, but the Dutch have
been building great ship canals
for hundreds of years, and now
they are going quietly about drain
ing the most of the Zuyder Zee, a
bay 40 miles across. And we
thought we were great patriots
when We struck through a revolu-
tion of seven years. But the Dutch,
they waged a war for freedom for
something like eighty years!
In those eighty years they killed
enough Spaniards to populate q
country the size of the Neither
lands; and finally, when the Span
ish empire began to weaken, they
won out. 1t takes some effort to
cheat the Dutch"

HOW FARMERS GET BIG MONEY FROM
THE RURAL FREE DELIVERY

If all the 10000 horses used in
the rural free delivery service of
the p. o. department were stood
in a straight line from New York
city to San Francisco, there would
be a horse every 46 yards. The
distance, as the crow flies, is 1850
miles.
Forty thousand men do the
work, and practically all carriers
own two horses, while some Of
them have three, made necessary
by long, sandy or hilly routes.
Now, these horses, on an aver
age, last only three years at the
work, which is extremely hard.
They are worth, say, 500 each.
So it follows that the carriers
must have one new horse on the
average every year to the tune of
$4,000, 000-and this three mil
lions goes to the farmers along
the different r. F. d. routes for
the most part.
1t costs 500 a year to feed a
horse sufficiently we'll so that he
can stand it to draw his blackboard
or buggy over the average r. F..
ID. route-and we find the farm
ers benefiting another $9,000,000I
from this source.
The figures grow stupendous.
They sound like Standard Oil or
war statistics!
Thus we have $12, 100000 an
nually paid over to farmers which
they did not receive before the
days of free rural delivery. 1t is
a new source of income.
Vehicles and harness, bicycles,
motorcycles, and an OCCASIONAL
automobile, cost the r. F. d.

Mothers should nurse their babies during
the hot weather whenever possible.
II breast feeding is not possible, physi-
clan should be consulted regarding other food.
Milk and water are the only foods the
average baby under sixteen months should get
during the summer
AS mother values her babys life she
should guard against dirt in the infants food.
Dirty milk in dirty can comes from
dirty wagon and is delivered by a dirty man.
Watch your milkman.
Flies are dirty.
Do not feed milk that is the slightest off
color to the baby.
Most babies are fed too much and too
often.
In hot weather give less milk and more
water.
If the baby gets sick ailing, stop thu
milk and give water only. This can be kept up
for several days.
Use pure oil as a laxative.
Keep the baby cool.
Keep the baby clean.
