Some of the members of the city
council want the building erected on
the site purchased for that purpose

the event the city council obtains an
other site the lot will probably be
disposed of. IT cost $4,000 three
years ago. and it is said 1t can be sold

HOW TO AVOID NJ
Keep Away From Crowds, Especially
When Meals Have Been
Missed.

Pneumonia is practically a dis
ease of city life and crowded living.
With our present knowledge the
prospects are hopeful Tor the control
of pneumonia in the flu ire through
prevention. This is of special i'm
portance to the individual. The
avoidance of pneumonia IS largely a
question Of personal precautions that
prevent the Development Of the dis
ease by %lessening the predlsTosition
to it. Men in middle life, particu-
larry those about fifty, must learn
during unsettled weather TO avoid
crowds, especially when fatigued and
when they have been for a number of
hours without eating. Late at night,
when for any reason a meal has been
missed, crowds are dangerous. If
this lesson could be generally learned
there would be less pneumonia
among the vcll-to-do classes. The
principal danger comes in crowded
street ears, which, if possible, should
be avoided at rush hours. 1t needs
to be emphasized that the danger
from oyercrowding is Greatly en-
hanced by fatigue and going without
food. In a word, prevention Of
pneumonia is now much clearer thar
# was. Like all the other infection;
diseases, instead of being a more OF
Jess inevitable dispensation, it ha'
come to be recognized as due to GER
tain definite factors which can b,
greatly lesscned by public and indi
yidual hygicnic regulation Jour

USES Fer THE PAPER BAG
Careful HousekeepeF Can Find Many
Ways Of Storing These UOeful
Articles.

There are very few housekeepers
who do not find uses for ordinary
paper bags that are continually ac-
cumulating. A most excellent way
to keep these bags so that they will
always be not only easy Of access, but
in good condition and in assorted
sizes, is TO have a pine board, three
inches wide by one inch thick, neatly
planned. Screw two brass rings in
the top by which the board may be
hung to the wall or pantry door, and
drive three nails with the heads filed
off on the boards.
Another good idea is to reserve a
small drawer in the kitchen or pam
try for them. Before being placed
in the drawer they should be care
fully smoothed and folded.
An enamel cloth bag tackled upon
the pantry door is also a convenient
receptacle for these bags. An ingen-
ious housewife has fashioned a bag,
convenient for holding paper bags
and also for odds and ends Of string,
The bag is made by cutting two
pieces Of linen duck of the length re-
quired. One piece is four inches mar
rover than the other. The narrower
strip is stitched across its width tc
the wider strip to form three peck
cts. The two strips are placed fatty
together and stitched and bound al
around with braid. The middle
pocket is made wide enough to hole
large and small paper bags; the ent
pockets are intended for string.

ANCIENT CUSTOMS IN MALTA
Many Things Done In the Manner In
Vogue Hundreds Of Years
Ago.

In Malta the customs of a hun
bred years ago are still in vogue.
Take, for instance, their method of
harvesting. Instead of cutting the
wheat as in this country, the har-
vesters kneel down to their task and
taking hold of the wheat pull it up
by the roots, so that there is never
seen in Malta a field of stubble.
The wheat is then taken to a cor
ner of the field where there is a
smooth circular patch of stones, usu-
ally about twenty feet radius, is
spread over a it to a depth Of eigh-
teen inches or so, and trampled on
by oxen, a small boy usually leading
them by a rope. When the process
of thrashing is completed the straw
is forkcd away and the grain swept
up ready for the mill.
Another curious custom is their
way of watering the roads. The wa
ter cart consists Of a light kind of
vehicle dubbed by the military a
fve-barrel gate), which consists of
nothing more or less than a pair of
shafts with about eight battens bolt
ed across them, and a couple Of dag
onals to strengthen the whole.
On the cart is lashed a ffty-six
gallon barrel, and a length Of canvas
hose about a yard long is connected
to it, terminating in a sprinkler. The
cart is always attended by two men
one leading the horse and the other
taking hold Of a couple Of yards Of
rope, the end of which is fastened
to the sprinkler end Of the hose. A!
The cart goes along, 50 he follows
md keeps the sprinkler swinging
rom side to side.-Newark News

TOO MANY AcToRs7

"All the world may be a stage"
Bays a member of the Austrian Ac-
tors association, but in our country
acting as a means of livelihood is
becoming a more difficult problem
daily. There are too many actors.
The time for making engagements is
over and hundreds of our profession
have found no places and will re-
main idle most Of the season. The
provincial theaters have engaged
novices at low prices and have over
looked the eynerienced actress. This
condition is well known, and still the
humber of students for the stage is
growing. It is a field as 10 which
