The conditions surrounding the pro-
sduction of food in this State are far
from the sanitary standard which
should exist according to the annual
report of DR.. r. b. Fitz-Randolph,
Chief of the Division of Food and
Drugs of the State Board Of Health.
DR.. Fitz-Randolph claims that many
diseased animals unfit for food are
slaughtered yearly; that there is large
traffic in inferior and decomposed
eggs; that conditions in some slaugh-
ter houses are so bad that they are
almost beyond description, and that
these conditions are due in particular
to the fact that local health boards
are often indolent and inefficient DR..
Fitz-Randolph declares that the laws
for the protection of food cannot be
properly enforced without the active
cooperation of the local health boards
More Building and Loan Associa-
tions were organized in New Jersey
during the past year than in any SINH
lar period in the history of the State,
the number of new associations or
ganized was Sc, and two ceased op-
erations, making net gain of 81.
The aggregate assets of the 562 local
associations in this State and one
State institution, are $96,44S,627.
These facts are given in the annual
report of State Banking & Insurance
Commissioner, Vivian NJ Lewis.

Following Ehe organization in the
two Houses, Governor Wilson's first
annual message will be submitted and
read, and the usual number of COPIES
ordered printed for public circulation.
The Governor has completed his mes
sage, but has given no hint as to
what its contents are. 1t is reason
able, however, to expect that it will
follow somewhat along the line of the
Democratic State platform of last fall
in the drafting of which the Governor
had an important part. 1t is expect
ed that the message will treat of the
so-called Progressive Legislation, pass
ed by the last Legislature, and that he
will tell of what was accomplished
and of what benefits to che people he
believes have been or will be derived
therefrom. 1t is thought that the
Governor viii devote considerable
space to the grade crossing question.
The Democratic platform favors the
abolition of grade crossings, and
speaks for laws giving the Public
Utility Commission power to compel
the railroad companies to abolish
grade crossings, where in the judg-
ment of the Commission they are a
menace to life. It will probably be
along this line that the Governors
message will speak on this subject.
Some Of the other questions with
which 1t is thought the message will
deal are. changes in the State tax
laws to equalize them; reform in the

ENGLISH CLERGYMAN
FATHERED BANK IDEA
From Harper's Weekly

The tavings bank is thought to owe
us existence to a suggestion made by
the author of Robinson Crusoe," al
though DE Foe did not live to see the
realization OF his scheme. It was in
l755, in Brunswick. Germany, that the
nrst savings bank was organized. A
few years later another institution Of
the n solely for the use OF servants,
was set up in Switzerland.
Soon the idea took root in other
countries and became popular. Eng
land Jagged behind considerably, and It
was no until the end OF the 18th CEN
tury that such a bar appeared. when
one for children was organized by Pris-
dent OF Tottenham. This proving a
success. o years later Mrs. Wake
field widened the scope OF her plan by
receiving deposits from adults. She
had Mt first the assistance OF six men
acting as trustees. but as her business
increased SO did the number Of truss
tees. h Wakefield banks allowed in
terest at the rate of s per cent on sums
OF IS and upwards. provided money
was not withdrawn within ~ months.
The next in the field was n clergy
man. who instituted a "Frugality
Bank" so called at the suggestion Of
Denthann. the political writer. vino for
a long time had been advocating he
establishment of savings banks under
that title. This bank was intended for
the use OF parishioners: and the Rev.
Joseph Smith. the president thereof.
undertook to return all moneys re-
ceived during the summer. with a boz
U of one-third at Christmas.
The Rev. III. Duncan. OF Ruthwell. Is,
however. generally credited with being
the father OF the savings bank as
such institutions are at present under-
stood n conducted. There may still
be seen at Ruth. in Dumfriesshire. the
tiny whitewashed cottage wherein DR..
Duncan established his bank.
