What Red Cross Seals Do.

Every seal that is sold is a real bullet
in the fight against tuberculosis. These
seals last year helped to support thou
sands of needy tuberculosis patients and
to give them chance for life. They
provided for many visiting nurses, whose
hundreds of thousands visits brought in
struction and cheer to numerous patients.
They helped maintain dispensaries in
dozens of places from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, where many thousands of
consumptive patients received treat
ment, aid and advice. They provided
the meansto purchase millions of copies
of circulars, pamphlets and other litera-
ture, with which the public has been
educated about tuberculosis. They have
established and helped to maintain more
than 40 open air schools for the children
who needed open air treatment. These
are just few of the ways in which the
$500, 900 received last year was expend-
ed. This year million dollars is needed.
Surely anyone can help by buying at
least ten seals.

Old Memories.

While looking over some treasures there
In our bureau drawer, today,
We found some ringlets of golden hair
Mong the keepsakes laid away.
Memory goes back to that sad year,
When our baby sister died,
A beautiful child, to us all so dear,
Her fathers pet and mothers pride.
Death claimed her and we laid her away
Until the dawn shall come,
Until the Resurrection day,
When we are gathered home.
Only these ringlets of golden hair
To remind us of our darling gone,
Safe in the arms of the Savior, there,
With the angels near the throne.
Broken and gone is that household band,
We gather with them no more.
But in our Fathers promised land,
Well meet on the other shore.
MRS. LINDA A. PARTRIDGE.

The Cat Came Back.

What is regarded as one of the most
remarkable instances on record of 1.-The
cat coming back" occurred at the home
of Alfred Fleming, on the Drummer farm,
near Frederick, Md. Until few months
ago Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred McEwen board
ed with Mr.. Fleming. They became
much attached to cat, and when they
went back to Albany, N. Y, to live,
were permitted to take tabby. Recently
the feline, half starved and bedraggled,
appeared at the house and mewed pite-
ously at the kitchen door. The cat was
Immediately recognized, but the identi-
fcation was made certain when a hole
was discovered in its ear which had been
cut by its former owner. The cat had
travelled 400 miles.

Last May personal and political enc
mics of Col. Alden j. Blethen, editor-in-
chief of the Seattle, Wash, Times, caus-
ed him to be indicted on the charge of
aiding and abetting nuisance. The
prosecuting officer of the county, the
legal advisor of the grand jury, advised
them that the evidence in this case was
legally insufficient to warrant even the
preferring of a charge, let alone the SUBJ
mission of the question of guilt or in
nocence to a jury, and refused to sign the
indictment until directed to do so by the
court. In a review of the case The Times
says editorially:
From the day those most nefarious and
unwarranted indictments were procured
against the Editor of The Times, by the
most extraordinary influence of evil
minded persons, down to the hearing in
the Court-there never was an iota of
truth discovered upon which to maintain
any one of them. And yet the charges
contained in those indictments have not
only been published in all the newspapers
of Seattle, but have been sent broadcast
throughout the world, and probably pub
lished in thousands of newspapers, to say
nothing of many magazines.
The case was brought to trial last
month, and Dec. list the jury returned an
instructed verdict of not guilty, on the
ground that the States case proved the
innocence of the defendant. In dispos-
ing of the case by instructing the jury to
bring in verdict of not guilty, Judge
Ronald laid bare the motives that must
have inspired the indictment and prose-
cution. The friends of Col. Blethen in
this, his native county, congratulate him
on his triumph over the enemies who
sought to besmirch his character and les
sen his influence.

A School for Tars.

''There are no sailors in the navy to-
day." says Cushing Stetson, in an &C.
count of the naval training station at
Newport, which appeared in a recent
issue of Harper's Weekly. The enlisted
men are divided into three classes: the
seaman branch, the artificer branch, and
the special branch. Every trade known
to man seems to be needed in the navy,
and a new man will be tried in one place
after another until he likes his berth.
"Above everything else it must be I'M
derstood that the navy is not Jail; no
man need continue in it who does not like
it. Over one hundred thousand men and

Harvard under graduates have taken
up the Boy Scouts movement. More
than 80 students are interested as Scout
Masters or as Patrol Leaders in training
Boy Scouts of America. Several of the
young men are carrying on this work in
connection with their study in sociology.
In that they are encouraged by their
professors, many of whom at Harvard
have endorsed the Scout Movements as
the best organization yet originated for

THE SHERWOOD PENSION BILL.

~ 1dE LDIIOh Of 1dE JOURNAL.
read that they are counting the cost" al
Washington of the Sherwood pension
bill, and the thought comes to me, who
counted the cost" when these men left
all that makes life dear, ready to suffer
and die if it need be in the Nations de-
fence?
It is so easy to forget. A few Incl
dents that have happened near here
show the Indifference some people have
for these things. In the cemetery near
Freedom village stands soldiers mon
ument, erected quite number of years
ago by the G. A. R. Post and few citi-
zens. This Post at that time was one of
the most active for its numbers to be
found anywhere in the county. Of late
years death has entered the ranks (which
know no recruits) so often that today
this Post has only fourteen members,
and some of them so feeble from age and
sickness that they seldom attend meet
ing.
the cemetery association that there was
one dollar due for moving the grass on
the lot around the monument, and if not
paid the bill would be left in the hands
of an attorney to collect.
Now comes the question: When these
few are gone, and it will not be long,
what then? Will the lot be allowed to
grow up to weeds, or will the whole thing
be demolished as something out Of place
in this age of progress?
One thing more: the veterans here
have always taken great deal of pains
to have Memorial Day observed in a
fitting manner. In some towns it is the
custom to appropriate certain sum for
that purpose; but here the veterans have
never asked or received any outside help;
the Post, with some help from the Ladies
of the G. A. R., buying the flags and
paying for their speaker.
They have always held their exercises
at a certain hour, and the schoolboys, if
they had ball games, would always choose
some other hour so as not to conflict.
Last Memorial Day the Academy boys
had their game at the same time, and
just as the old veterans were gathered
in the yard in front of their hail. prepar-
ing to march to the cemetery, the crowd
went rushing by to the ball game.
As those feeble Ole men walked with
faltering steps up the hill another picture
came to me. l saw them brave, and
manly as the boys of today, and thought
of the crowds that followed them with
cheers and waving flags as they. took
their way to the Southland. The country
needed them then; it has no use for them
now.
Yet these boys are bright, noble boys,
who would scorn to do mean act. They
did not realize they were taking from
the feeble hands of these old veterans
their day-a day this great nation they
helped to save gave them to keep sacred
to the memory of their fallen comrades.
1t seems to me there must be lack
Why are they not taught
to love the old flag, and what the privil
eyes they have today cost? Or, if our
most sacred day must be made day of
m erry making, why not wait just little
longer until these brave hearts will not
be here to be saddened by your ingrati
tude and you have ceased to mourn their

Safe Treatment for Headache.

The rational treatment for headache
is to get at the cause, if possible, and
remove it. Headache is only a symp-
tom of trouble somewhere in the sys-
tenn, and dosing with tablets or powders
containing acetanilid or other coal-tar
derivatives which stop the pain tempo
rarily but weaken the heart, is at once
unsafe and unwise. The headache may
come from your eyes, then a good ocu-
list can help you at once with proper
eyeglasses; but if it comes with furred
tongue, loss of appetite, nausea, and
constipation, it is usually the result
of disordered digestion, or torpid liver,
and one or two doses of L. F. Atwood's
Medicine will speedily help you by
carrying off impurities and restoring
tie clogged digestive organs to their
normal activity. In using this old re-
liable remedy, you take no chances of
weakening the hearts action.

safe headache remedy. The 'sL. FL

Asbury Park, July 14:-There is
a possibility of an aviation meet,
after all, An offer has been received
by Publicity Director Denegar where
by the city may have an aeroplane
week at a cost of $4,000. The offer
comes from J.. H. Worden, of this

Worden offers a weeks exhibition
with several flights a day on the

willing to give up $500 of his salary
for the sake of seeing the meet in
his home town.
Director Denegar will do all in his
power to arrange for the meet, but

ON LAST LAP
OF LONG RIDE
Nsrth Carolina TO N. Y. on
Bicycle Stops Here.

Audrie Alexander, riding a bicy-
Gle from Charlotte, N. c., to New
York city, stopped In this city at A
O'Clock yesterday afternoon to re-
fresh himself for the last lap of his
long ride. He visited a number of
places in this city and In an inter
view to a NEWS representative said
1t was one of the 1iveliest and most
modern cities he had visited In the
east. He particularly admired Its
location and It's many we'll paved
streets. His stop here was of about
an hours duration, after which he
boarded the Staten Island ferry boat
to conclude the trip by riding across
Staten Island.
Alexander is riding a National bicy-
Gle, having ]. & G.. tires. He started
from his home in Charlotte at 5
o'clock in the morning of July 8. This
city was his last stopping place be-
fore the end. After t%ransacting
some official business In the metrop-
oils today, he will ride back to Phil
adelphia and there board a train for

SECURE 3 LOTS
FOR EXTENSION
Aldermen Make Purchases
In Conway Place Matter.

The city has purchased three lots
In Sayre n which means that
the extension of Convery Place is
now practically an assured fact. Two
lots have been secured from John
Erdek and his wife Mary and the
other from Annie Nemyo. 1t Is I'M
derstOod that the cost Of each lot
was $500. That amount Is adJudged
reasonable by city officials when 1t is
considered the property in question
adjoins a siding of the tehigh Valley
railroad and for that reason would
be valuable as a manufacturing site.
The extension of Convery Place
southwark across the Lehlgh Valley
railroad tracks will be a boon to the
western section of the city. 1t is an
Improvement that residents and prop
erty owners in that part of the city
have been lighting for most strenu-
ouslv for the past two years. With
COnvery Place thus extended and a
proper bridge constructed across the
railroad tracks a very important con-
Meeting link between the sections on
the northerly and southerly sides Of
the Lehigh Valley railroad will have
been completed, To make this con-
nectton 1t became necessary to pur-
chase these lots and arrangements
will now be started for constructing
a bridge across the railroad tracks.
The three lots in question are
located IN block ID, Lots At and As
yer purchased from Mr.. and Mrs.
Erdek and lot No. 40 was secured
from Annie Nemyo. The matter of
their purchase was left with the COM

town club will be features of the ex-
cursion of the Sabbath school union
to Bellewood Park on July 81. The
genera and athletic committees con
vened last night in the Grace English
Lutheran church and made arrange
ments to better accommodate the
out-of-town Sunday schools, The
athletic committee elected officers as
follows: Chairman, David Reid, of
Keasbey; secretary, George Morten-
son, of this city; manager of local
ball club, Harry Van DOren; mana
ger of out-of-town club, N. s, Riddle,
of Metuchen; official starter, j, j.

100 yard dash, running broad jump,
hop, skip and jump, sack race, three
legged race, for juniors and seniors;

street, city. All events will be run
off Immediately upon arrival at the
park. Ribbons will be given as
prizes.
Two trains will leave this city
with the excursionists, both at $40
o'clock in the morning. One train
will leave from New Brunswick W
nue and will run through to the
park without stopping. The State
street train will stop at the follow
ing places: Raritan Junction, Fords,
Metuchen, South Plainfeld, New
Market. Bound Brook and Fleming
ton Junction. 1t is expected that
about 1,400 people will go on the
outing, which is 800 more than last
year. 1t is the opinion of the COM
mittee that the Lehigh Valley off,
Gals will be called upon to add an
other train, owing to the increase in
the number of exCursionists original
ly figured upon.
In the afternoon a devotional ser
vice of thirty minutes duration will
take place in the pavilion. Rev. A.
T. Dorf. of St. Stephens Danish
Lutheran church, has charge of this
program. The Methodist church, Of
Metuchen. has signifed its intention

WRITES UP
SHOW At PR0GT0R's

There's some class to the show at
PTOCtor's this week, | tell you. First
on the bill Is Mildred Haywood. She
sings some songs in great style, and
her Italian song is a bird. The
sketch, called "The Tuner" is dandy.
Sophie Everette is some good locker,
too. The idea of the story (idea is
a good word, ehl) Is that a young
bride has just started to housekeep
and sends for a piano tuner to fix up
ths>piano. Someone else in the
mousse s~ls for a doctor, and a rich
old uncle shNas never SeAAcsHse
to visit her unexpectedly The
tor mistakes the ~-hd ZONES 20
her house. She thinks he's the tuner
and she tells him about the piano
and he thinks she's talking about a
sick baby, and between them both
they think each other is crazy, or
cracked in the upper story. Finally
she shuts him up in a room, then
the uncle comes in, and she thinks
he's the tuner-then the uncle thinks
she is off her trolley. Say, you never
saw such a mixup. There's some
c~rackajack good lines in it.
The best thing on the bill in my
mind is 'Deodado,' necromancer,
classy, Ell! Talk about stunts, well
he's got a lot of them skinned to
death. I sure would like to know
where he keeps the things that he
makes disappear in the air. He does
a peach of a trick with a lot of
stuff he eats and makes it smoke as
he eats it, and when he gets through
hauls a four-foot rod out of his
throat. Another good one was to
get someone in the audience to pick
a card, put 1t back in the pack and
then throw the pack at him, and he
lands the card picked out on the end
of a sword.
Say, did you ever think how big a
glass of ice cream soda must look to
a fly? Well, I'm not a fly, but it's
me for a soda after this writeup. So
long. FREDDIE.
