FIXES TUBERCULOSIS DAY.
Governor Taylor Urges Jersey People
to Aid Great Fiqht.

Governor Taylor issued a proclama-
tion urging the observance of "Tu-
berculosis day" in this State, Sun
day, December Z, which will be OBJ
served nationally at the suggestion of
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
Governor Taylor's proclamation
says: The study of the subject of
the prevention of tuberculosis should
not be confined to these self-sacriic-
ing individuals who have taken it
upon themselves to collect informa-
ton, urge the need of legislation, col
lect statistics and educate the public
in the ways and means of preventing
the spread of this terrible disease.
1t probably becomes a part of the
duty of the State to aid and assist
in all ways in which it is possible to
do so. Much information has been
disseminated by the various bodies
which have made study of tubercu-
losis, and it clearly becomes the duty
of every one interested in the cause
of humanity and the welfare of our
State, to observe and compel the OBJ
a of such rules as have been
adopted by those bodies for the pre-
vention of the spread of the disease"
Elizabeth 24e Years Old.
Elizabeth will be $50 years old next
year, and to celebrate the anniversary
of the settlement in a fitting way,
preparations have been undertaken
which will put practically the whole
city to work. The Committee of One
Hundred originally named by Mayor
Victor Mravlag to take charge of the
celebration has already grown to 176
names, both men and women-for in
this celebration the women are TAX
ing prominent part - distributed
among 10 committees. The officers
of the committee believe that many
more will be added to the lists OF
workers before the celebration takes
place a year hence.
There are not many cities here
abouts that can celebrate their 250th
anniversary. and Elizabeth, with an
intensely interesting history, is alive
to this face. The city is rich in
Colonial and Revolutionary history,
and of course, the various patriotic
societies, such as the Sons of the
American Revolution, Daughters of
the American Revolution, Colonial
Danes and others, will take a prom
inent part in the historical celebra-
ton. Efforts will be made to have
President Wilson attend, as we'll as
Governor Fielder and State officials
and the faculty of Princeton Univer-
sity. Princeton is closely linked with
Elizabeth, for it was here in 1746 that
the College of New Jersey-now
known as Princeton University-was
founded.
Shad, big and exceptionally fat,
beautiful to look at and good to the
taste, were on Centre Market fish
stands at Newark. Frank Dood and
James Steiner, veterans in the trade,
declared it was the first time in
thirty years they had seen green, or
fresh, shad on sale here at this season
of the year.. The fish attracted gen
eral attention and sold rapidly at
from rs cents to $1.25 apiece to indi-
viduals and families on the lists of
the dealers to be notified at any time
of the appearance of any novelties
in the fish line, especially out Of the
regular season.
Where the fish were caught is IN
known to even the Centre Market
dealers. They were shipped from
Boston wholesale houses which were
given quick orders in response to
their queries. 1t is believed that they
were picked up in one or two Of the
big ocean steam travis and that the
continued warm weather was respon-
sible for their being found in waters
so near the local markets.
