Special TO the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, April 14:-Vice-
President G. 1. Brown, of the Jersey
Central Traction Company, sent
communication to the Board of Free
holders at its meeting yesterday af
ternoon stating that he would see
that his company lived up to the
franchise granted by the company
to cross the bridge at Perth Amboy.
Mr.. Brown further stated in his let
ter that so far as he knew, his COM
pany never charged any more than
five cents to passengers from any
part of South Amboy to any part of
Perth Amboy.
Freeholder Kerr, of South Amboy,
stated that the cars of the Jersey
Central Traction Company only ran
as far as the ferry in Perth Amboy
but it was the Public Service which
runs its cars OVER the tracks of the
Jersey Central Traction Company
against whom the charge of increase
in fare was made at the last meeting
of the board. He thought the board
should hold the Jersey Central Trac-
ton Company responsible so long as
the Public Service used its tracks
over the bridge.

Post, G. A. r., of Plainfeld, asking

may be seriously disturbed because of
the serious illness Of the Duke Of Con-
naught, brother Of the late King Ed

For an Iron Bridge Over
Chesequake Creek.

Plans for new iron bridge to be
constructed across CheseQuake Creek
at Morgan Station have been ap-
proved by the War Department at
Washington and returned to County
Engineer F. F. Simons. Mr.. Simons
prepared complete plans for lift
type and swing bridge, inasmuch as
the County Board of Freeholders
has not yet definitely decided what
kind of bridge it proposes to erect.
Plans for both were approved and It
is the belief that preparations for
the construction will go on at a rapid
rate from now on.

A BOUQUET

They're on my desH right now
syringa, lemon. lilies, bridal wreath
so sweet, oh, so swooning sweet!
And the tall buildingf outside the
window is gone as I close my eyes and
breathe the fragrance of the old
fashioned bouquet. Gone the street OF
noise and dirt and hurry and excite
ment, gone the street cars, silent even

lilies. SPRINGS, bridal wreath, bleeding
hearts, "pineys" pink and red and
white-all for Teacher.
Teacher came from the next town

there was love in your soul and quick

Bailey and the Babies.
By Ebert Hubbard.)

by Ebert HubDard.)
A bill was up in the United States
senate the other day to consider the
acceptance of a pasteurizing milk
plant, the gift of Mr.. Nathan Strauss
to the city of Washington.
The gift could only be accepted by
unanimous consent Every member of
the senate favored the matter, save
Senator Bailey, of Texas, alone.
When Bailey is wrong he is the
wrongest man I ever saw, and / think
that when he voted against the ac-
ceptance of this gift of the pasteuriz-
ing milk depot. Bailey of Texas voted
against the babies.
Bailey's argument is that he does
not want to pauperize the people
through paternalism. In the meantime
many babies die, and broken-hearted
mothers watch away the dark hours
of the night by pallid forms.
Bailey interposes a sentiment where
human lives are at stake. If a man
falls off the dock we do not discuss the
tariff on lumber before throwing the
drowning man a plank.
Bailey does not take issue with the
facts presented by Mr.. Straus as to the
proper feeding Of infants; he only OBJ
jects to the government taking any in
terest in bottle babies. People should
feed their own babies, he says, for
babies are a personal matter.
This is all right, too, but the people
are the government at the last. 1t IS
all for each and each for all-or
should be as

LOOKS LIKE BUMPER
CROP OF Wheat
So Uncle Sam is Now Pre-.
dieting

Washington, D. c., June 9-Promise
that this years wheat crop will be
the greatest ever produced in this
country is given in the June crop re-
port issued today by the Department
of Agriculture. Estimates by the de-
partment's experts indicate that APP
proximately 764,291,S57 bushels OF
wheat will be harvested in this coun-
iris this summer and autumn, an in
crease of about 6S,848,857 bushels over
that garnered last year Of winter
wheat the increased yield is almost
4SO,OO0,OOO bushels, and of spring
wheat, 2S4,00O,000 bushels.
Prof. N C. Murray, acting chair
man of the crop reporting board, COM
menting upon the report, said:
"The acreage of spring wheat shows
a total larger than any previous record
and nearly per cent. greater than last
year On June /, the crop was above
the average in promise, the condition
and acreage, combined being such as
to give hope for a yield of nearly 90
per cent. more than last year, and
nearly II per cent. more than the
average for the last five years.
May was unfavorable for winter
wheat but nevertheless, with the yield
per acre there probably will be be-
tween 8 and per cent. more winter
wheat produced than last year and
between 6 and 7 per cent. more than
the average of the last five years.
Combining both spring and winter
wheat, the indications point to a
larger yield per acre than was
produced last year and about the same
yield per acre as during the last five
years. This would make a total pro-
duction Of all wheat of SO per cent.
more than last year and 1872 per cent.
more than the average for the last
five years"

Arthur Balfour, the one-time Pre-

steamship for some days, he proposed
to cross over on board cattle boat.
"But in the man from whom he

No, ye can't thin,' said the Irish

SUBSTITUTES
FOR MEAT IN
HOT WEATHER

CBy c. F. Langworthy, expert in
charge of nutrition experiments, u
S. Department of Agricultural
1t is difficult to suggest more ration
al dishes than old-fashioned bread and
milk and mush and milk Of the early
American settlers, and the oatmeal and
milk of the Scotch. In recent times
the many specially prepared break
fast cereals designed to be eaten with
milk of the Scotch. In recent times
place of the old-fashioned dishes and
have approximately the same nutritive
value. Such combinations are ra-
tional because the cereal, which sup
plies a fair amount of protein, is also
specially rich in starch and supplies
the fuel elements which milk lacks 10
make it a perfect food.
For young children, eggs, bread and
other cereals foods are generally re-
garded as staple foods, and most per-
sons agree that they are better suited
to the child than are heavy meat
dishes.
Though fluid outside the body, milk
/. b comes solid, i. e, coagulated or cur
,dlcd. almost as soon as it enters the
stomach. It's water content is very
high. unadulterated, while milk con-
tanning about 81 per cent of this con-
stituent, and 10 per cent. solids, of
which about one-fourth is protein
compounds (casein being the most
abundant( one-third fats Clutter fat
and the remainder carbohydrates and
small amount of mineral water.
The value of milk as a food is not
generally realized, for very many per-
sons think of it at least as a beVer-
age, rather than as a food, and do not
realize that a glass of milk adds as
much nutritive material to a meal
as one-fourth of loaf of bread or a
slice of cooked beef. On the whole
milk is to be regarded as a reasonably
nutritious animal food, and, further
more, it is very thoroughly assimila--
ed, as has been shown by many expert
ments
Milk can be used in the preparation
of a great variety of dishes which are
palatable, wholesome and generally
relished, and while the milk and foods
containing milk do not bear any great
resemblance in appearance and flavor
to meat yet on the basis of composition
and digestibility they may be used as
reasonable substitutes for it.
The Importance of skim milk, which
is whole milk minus part of it's fat
should not be overlooked, for it may
be used in place of whole milk in the
preparation of a great many dishes
Since it costs only about one-half as
much as whole milk, it furnishes pro
tein much more cheaply than beef This
fat which skim milk lacks may Dc
readily supplied if needed by using
butter or less expensive fats.

TAYLOR IS TALKATIVE
ON VERGE OF GRAVE
Less Concerned Than Those
Around Him

Baxley, Ga, June 9.-F'ate Taylor
who is to hang here tomorrow, was
brought from the Douglas Jail this af-
ternoon by Sheriff Overstreet in an au-
tomobile, and is now in the Bailey jail
awaiting the execution which will take
place tomorrow, unless he is re-
spited.
The gallows has been built on the
east side of town and there seems q
be little hope for him to escape it, as
all efforts to persuade Gov. Brown to
commute the sentence to life impris-
onment have failed. His attorneys are
doing everything possible to stay the
execution and will not give up hope
until the trap has been sprung. One
of his attorneys was in Brunswick this
afternoon with an extraordinary mo-
ton for new trial to be heard before
Judge Conyers, and if this fails, still
another effort will be made before Gov
Brown by another attorney tomorrow
Taylor seems to be perfectly calm
and is more uncOncerned than the
crowds who flock around the Jail to get
a glimpse of him. He is jolly and
talkative, occasionally smoking a cigar
and seems not to realize that within
twenty-four hours he will be a dead
man.
A protracted meeting is going on il
the Baptist church within fifty yards
of the Jail, and this afternoon specia,
services were held in the Jail with tht
condemned man, led by Pastor Jenkins
of the Methodist church, and Evange,
list Edmundson, of ATLANTA. The jail
was filled during the service which was
participated in by other prisoners
charged with murder.
The condemned man is to hang for
one of the most atrocious crimes ever
recorded in this section of the state
Wade H. Belcher, one of Applings best
farmers and most prominent citizens
was killed on a road just back of his
plantation while riding in the buggy
with his little five-year-old daughter on
August 10, 1909, Taylor was arrested
for the scrime and convicted of the
murder the following month in Appling
Superior court on what was practically
circumstantial evidence, as the little
child, who identified Taylor, was not
allowed to testify in court
Taylor and the deceased had had an
alteration on the morning of the same
day that Belcher was killed, at Belch-
er's home, at which time Taylor
threatened the life of Belcher after go
ing away and returning with a pistol
Neither of the men was seen after the
difficulty and the threat by Taylor I'M
til Belcher was found dead by the road
side and man identified as Taylor
was seen running across the field oy
a witness 500 yards away.
The buggy containing the crying
child was near by with the horse
nitched to the fence, apparently by the
murderer.
