Wrong Impression Taken for

The following letters are publish
ed to correct any wrong impression
that may have been gained from an
article published in the EVENING
NEWS Saturday. In. explanation 1t
| might be said that to the average
| layman the word court means an in
stitution and not an individual. To
! the man learned in the law, however,
1t seems the word court applies to
the judge himself. When the NEWS
article says the court had been con-
sidered a Joke. it meant no reflection
on the judge whatever In fact,
Judge Beekman In his letter pub
llshed below draws out the distinc-
ton, when he refers to the court
and to himself Sitting as the Judge
thereof" To the layman the judge
is only a part of the court, while to
the lawyer, the judge Is the court.
The letters follow:
EDITOR EVENING NEWS
In your issue of the 25th inst. !
saw to my surprise an article in the
EVENING NEWS that Mr. Stricken
had said in open court, held IN the
oath inst, to me sitting as the judge
thereof, that the District Court of
Perth Amboy was considered a joke.
This article in your paper was false
and an insult to both Mr.. Stricken
and me. An insult to Mr.. Stricken
as a reputable lawyer and has al
ways had, to my knowledge, too
much sense of propriety and knows
too we'll the respect that the bar
owes to the court, to indulge In any
such language, and | would certain
ly be much wanting in knowledge as
to what the court owes to itself to
tolerate such language, if it had
4 been said, without filming the lawyer,
using it for contempt of court.
Never has Mr.. Stricken In my court
used any language towards me that
was either ungentlemanly or disre-
spectful, II any language that any
court could make the least objection
to-. 1t is a surprise to me why such
articles should be published without
first ascertaining the truth. Has the
day come that newspapers are SO
much in want of material to fill their
daily clamors for news, thai fiction
must take the place Of faces?

Pasteunzation~
Our Method and Its Effects
On Milk

The milk is heated to 14S degrees
F. and held at that temperature for
20 minutes, after which it is cooled
to Sc degrees Il and stored in a re-
frigerator until delivered.
This destroys the pathogenie or
disease producing bacteria and
greatly improves the keeping quail
ties of the milk. Diphtheria and ty-
phoid fever are frequently traced to
milk, Lut not to o~asteurized milk.
For this reason many cities are
enforcing .he pasteurization of their
milk supply.
A special raw milk from q high
grade dairy is provided for any who
prefer it to pasteurized and will be
delivered when requested.
We invite inspection of our meth
DDS and plant, which is always open.
