No Charge For Vaccination.

The State Board of Health has during
its existence furnished smallpox vac
cine, free of charge, to those physicians
who applied for it. 1t has been the de
sire of the board that the physicians
should therefore receive no fee when
they vaccinate citizens against smallpox
This rule has been adhered 10 by the
physicians, with but few exceptions, and
the State Board of Health is grateful for
The cooperation thus given in prevent
ing the spread of smallpox. But there
are times when physician is called a
distance from home, TO the residence of
his patients, to vaccinate the inmates of
a home, and in these instances il is
thought perfectly proper for the physi-
clan TO charge for the service. The
charge is usually made for professional
call, and the fee is only nominal.
If the citizens of community do not
evince sufficient interest in vaccination
TO call at their physicians office TO re
ceive this free of charge, ii is but right
that the doctors should receive fee for
their trouble and time in extending this
protection, but the fee should be paid
by the person being vaccinated.-Flori-
da Health Notes.

THEIR AWFUL SECRET.


| IL CauSed the neal Estate Agent TO
Change His Mind.
When the family who admitted that
they were moving because the tenants
at the old address made their lives
miserable confided to the renting agent
that they had one popularity which
they wished him not to mention to
their neighbors in his building the
agent got uneasy and executed a men
tai quickstep trying to devise some
way to break the lease. But aloud he
said very courteously:
Il shall be glad to oblige you if
can, What is it you wish me to keep
a secretY
1.-THE fact that we pay our rent
promptly on the list of every month";"
said the head of the family. THAT
was something that nobody else in the
other house did, and the agent as an
incentive to quick action on their part
published the news of our promptness
The only action it stirred them into
was persecution of us, and they car
ried that to such extremes that we
had to move. If you will kindly re-
frain from using us as a club to whack
your delinquents into obedience we
will appreciate it,
The agent resolved not to cancel the
lease. but mt the same time he relin-
pushed a hastily conceived plan for
procuring prompt remittances. - New

TESTING AN EGG.
Many Ways to Detect StaIeness Be-

sides Smell and Taste.
1t does not require a very discrim-
mating palate to detect an old egg
from a new one, says correspondent
of the New York Sun. The former
has musty flavor that the latter
never has, and the mustiness may
range from slight faint to very
pronounced one. 1t is always notice
able in storage eggs,
If any one wishes to verify the judg-
ment of his palate, the following tests
may be used:
LIT is almost impossible to peel the
shell from a fresh hard boiled egg
without having some Of the white
come away with it.
"a stale egg cannot be beaten to
a froth
3.-When fresh egg is broken into
dish the yolk stands up and the
white does not spread, whereas in a
stale egg the yolk lies fiat and the
white seems watery.
4.-The shell of an egg after a GER

appearance and becomes shiny.
5.-The air space in the large end
Of newly laid egg is about half an
inch in diameter. and as the egg ages
this space grows larger In storage
eggs it sometimes extends to one
fourth the length. An expert can very
closely approximate the age of an egg
by examining this space. This is
known as Gambling and is done by
holding the egg in a beam of light.
A simpler test is to hard boil the egg

Manager Canova'S Greet
ings to Patrons and
Friends.
Company Has Been in Business rs
Years.
To My Patrons, and the Public:

To My Patrons, and the Public:
For over a quarter OF a century we
have been in the ice business in Palatka,
in which time it has been our aim to
maintain prompt service, courteous treat
ment, and square dealing.
There has never been day during
this time that the demand for ice has
not been supplied, we have never tried
10 get temporary business at the incon-
venience of our regular customers.
We have kept up with the times, and
our improvements are the latest. The
past winter we put in a new freezing
tank with the latest improvements, in
creaSing our capacity about 80 per cent. ;
every part of our system is in duplicate,
consequently we are in position TO
work continuously.
Whenever we felt justified in doing
so, and conditions warranted il, we
made reductions in our prices; ii has al
ways been our desire TO give a good
quality OF ice at a conservative price.
We fully realize that it is impossible
TO please everybody, no matter what the
nature of the business, and we do not
claim TO be an exception 10 the rule,
but we have exercised our best efforts
TO give the people in this community an
ice service that is excelled by none.
The delivery system of any business
is the source Of annoyance, it is hard to
+get men who will take the interest in
the business that we do, and whenever
sickness occurs, new men are put on
The route, and mistakes occur. In this
connection we would appreciate that
you report TO US, any inatIention of our
employees, as it is impossible to give
you good service unless you do so; we
are in business TO stay, and we guarantee
that our service and prices will be ex-
Celled by none.
Thanking you for past favors, and
trusting that we may continue 10 hold
your patronage, We assure you that your
orders will receive the best of attention,
we beg TO remain,
Very respectfully,
/. c. CANONA, Manager,

STRONG DAILY
DELEGATION
SEES WILSON
Prominent Officials from
All Over County Urge
Days Appointment
SENATOR SllZER HEADS
THE PARTY

One OF the strongest delegations
that ever came to Trenton from
Middlesex county waited upon Gov
ernor Wilson at the executive offices
at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon to
urge the appointment of Peter F.
Daily as county judge to succeed
Judge Adrian Lyon. Officials from
every section of the county were
present They were cordially re-
ceiyed by the governor who express
ed his satisfaction at seeing SO large
number of representative citizens
of the county.
The governor said that he wanted
to appoint Democrats to Office wher-
ever possible and 1t was up to the
party to present fit candidates.
When the delegation left the COVER
nor they were all confident that Mr..
DAILY would be the next Judge. One
offered to wager 1000 to l that
Daily would be the man.
Senator Silzer headed the party
and introduced the members. Sew
eral spoke In behalf of Mr.. DAILY,
Messrs. G. G. Hommann and F. M.
P. Pearse, representing the legal
profession, urged Mr.. Days appoint
They spoke of his excellent quail
ties as a lawyer and as surrogate.
Those In the party were: Senator
George s. Silzer, of Metuchen; Coun-
ty Clerk B. M. Cannon and Mayor
Albert Bollschweiler, Of this city;
Congressman Thomas j. Scully,
Mayor Walsh and Freeholder Alfred
Kerr, of South Amboy; Mayor
Marks, Alderman Rose, and Charles
Anderson, of South River; Mayor
Joseph Hermann, of Roosevelt; JOS
eph Ryan, Leonard Campbell and T.
]. Harmed. of Woodbridge; DR.. How
ard Carroll, OF Cranbury; Freehold
er Andrew Ely, OF Dayton; Freehold
er Anthony Gebhardt, of Milltown: !:
Sheriff Quackenboss, County Chair
man Thomas H. Hagerty, Freeholder
Peter Hendricks and Alderman-at-
Large Burke, Of New Brunswick.
1t Is generally recognized about
the state house at Trenton that no
member of the legislature is closer
to the governor than Senator Siizer.
This is because the Middlesex sena-
tor has stood BY the governor in all
/, his battles and was among the first
! 70 come out for the election OF Sena-
tor MARITIME during the publicity
campaign prior TO the eonyening OF
the legislature. During the Iegisla-
tive session Senator Silzer has back
ed the administration measures I'm
an effective manner. The governor
realizes all this and the fact that
Senator Silzer is SO earnest in his
| desire that Mr.. DAILY be appointed
Judge, being backed as he is, by a
united Democracy In the county,
will doubtless have great deal to
do with the appointment when the
name for county Judge is sent to the
senate by the governor.
