THE VALUABLE LEMON.

The lemon is a paIatable medicine
and n that is especially good for the
blood. For thick. sluggish blood and
an inactive liver, the juice of a lemon
in a glass Of water every morning on
rising is a most beneficial tonic. The
lemon juice should be taken without
sugar and drunk at least half an hour
before eating, TO give it time 10 Se alb
sorbed into the system before any
thing is taken into the stomach.
AS a drink, hot or cold lemonade
still stands first on the list Of drinks.
In combination with other foods and
fruits it is also both refreshing and
stimulating. A few tablespoonful Of
lemon juice in barley water is a splen-
did drink for the sick.

fruits that are nearly always on the
market, a bit of lemon juice squeezed

each.
In preparing frozen dishes, like rasp-
berry or grape ice or ice cream, a Ia
blespoon of lemon juice not only en-
hances the flavor, but makes the color
more beautiful; a desirable addition to
any dish.
Lemon Juice and olive oil, with salt

ARKANSAS STRIKES REEF.
B%attIeship Runs on 1t for Forty-four
Feet Near Penobscot.

Observation-Disclosures OF a rock at
the entrance to Fenobscot Bay, the
dreadnought Arkansas, the newest and
most powerful ship in the United
States navy, crushed in her port side
for a distance of fifty feet and a width
of eighteen feet. The outer steel shell,
three-quarters of an inch in thickness,
covering that area. is practically de-
stroyed. The inner shell is punctured.
The value of the naval system of
subdivision of the hull into a large
number of small compartments is be-
lieved to have been demonstrated by
the accident, for the blow to the Ar
kansas is thought to have been just
such a clip as the heel of the iceberg
inflicted upon the bottom of the i'll

Brussels.-Belgium is in a state of

rapidly increasing.
The conservative elements are con-

Fatal Motor Accidents.

section of the speed law that provides
that no person shall drive a motor
vehicle at any speed greater than is
reasonable, having regard to the traf-
fc and use of highways, Or so as to en-.
danger the life or limb or to injure the
property of any person" In several in
stances the fatalities may fairly be re
garded as purely accidental as the au-
tomobiles were not being driven at I'M
reasonable speed, yet they could have
been prevented by the exercise of a
little care.

PEOPLE WILL
Get REFORMS
Hudson County Wanted Smaller
Board of FreehOIders.
BILL IS PASSED BY SENATE
Opposition Stipulated That QUESTION be
Submitted to General Vote Despite
Protests-Carried by Majority
of 1869 Votes.

Especial Trenton Correspondence.)
Trenton.-When the people really
want a reform they will get it, in spite
of all the obstacles that may be placed
in their way by selfish politicians and
bosses. A large majority of the voters
of Hudson County wanted a smaller
board of freeholders, and Senator
Fielder introduced a bill to enable
them to obtain their desire quickly,
easily and certainly; but a few OF the
leaders combined with the office-hold-
ers and succeeded in Incorporating in
the Fielder bill after it had unanimous
ly passed the Senate, a provision re
curing that the acceptance of the act
should be submitted to a vote of the
people. There was an apparent ele-
ment of fairness in the proposition
that appealed to some of the Assem-
blymen, and others we're influenced by
arguments and methods usually adopt
ed in the Legislature. The object of
the referendum became known when
it was discovered that the opponents
of the smaller board plan intended to
submit the referendum at the Presi-
Dental primaries, in the hope that it
would be lost sight of because of the
greater interest manifested in the
fight for delegates.
Opposition over-Played.
But the opposition o~yer-played it's
hand. The petitions asking for the
submission of the referendum we're
signed by the county office-holders and
their friends and the election was fix
ed for May 28th, in spite of the pro-
tests of the men who were anxious to
secure the adoption of the reform.
Then the unexpected happened. In
stead of fifteen or twenty per cent. of
the voters taking part in the fight,
there were 36,457 votes cast, out of a
total of about $4,000, and the Fielder
act was adopted by a majority of
1869. Such a result in Hudson will
encourage the voters in the remaining
nine counties in their efforts to get
rid of the old system, with its extrava-
gance, graft, irresponsibility and in
efficiency. The estimate is that of
New Jerseys population of 2,537,167
there are but 456,513 under the old
rule-in Atlantic, Camden, Cape May,
Cumberland, Gloucester, Ocean, Salem,
Somerset and Warren. The twelve
counties hat have adopted or voted
to adopt the commission idea have a
combined population of 2,0S0,654, or
more than four-ffths of the inhabit-
ants of the State. The vote in Hudson
where there is yet considerable power
in the hands of the political machines,
will indicate to the politicians in Mer-
Ger County the futility of attempting
to thwart the popular will. Trenton,
last November, voted for the adoption
of the smaller board by more than two
to one, and the boroughs and town
ships by nearly three to one. The ma
jority in the county was 400 out of a
total of 10000 votes cast. That is evil
dence that Mercer County wants a
change.
