Some Observations from the Secretarys Office Window.
How many citizens of Perth Amboy realize just what they have
accomplished these past three weeks? p
Do you realize that you have an alert, active organization look
ing after your interests-for after all are not the interests of Perth
Amboy your interests-that outnumbers New York's largest and
most aggressive trade organization lin the ratio of individual repre-
sentation) about Is to /?
Do you know that if each hustlng, live member of the Perth
Amboy Board of Trade will bring in at once one application for
membership, that you will have the largest commercial organization
in the state considering size OF city?
Your manufactured articles are already Of sufficient variety to
afford one of the finest expositions of home products that any city in
this country can boast.
You are the centre of a thriving suburban district that makes
you the logical metropolis of this part of New Jersey. With sufficient
publicity and q campaign of education along Buying at Home and
"ratronize Home Industries" your merchants and your people will
turn the tide of buying from New York markets into your own, and
this of itself should be well worth an investment in the new Board
of Trade.
With your great plants, the American Smelling & Refining Com
pny, the Raritan Copper Works, the Roessler & Hasslacher Chemi-
cal Company, the Barber Asphalt Paving Company, the National
Fireproohng Company, the Standard Underground Cable Company,
the Chesebrough Manufacturing Company, the New Jersey Terra
Gotta Works, the Atlantic Terra Gotta Company, the United Lead
Company, the Maurer Brick Works, the Marcy Stove Works, the
featuring colony that for variety of product and size exceeds any,
thing Of the kind in any other city of the United States.
Said a big railroad man of New York to the writer on Tuesday:
Wei, well, are those people down in Perth Amboy finally awaken"
Here they have a waterfront In Raritan bay that New York would
give millions for, and now that ocean commerce will be developed to
SO much greater proportions through the opening of the Panama
canal, Perth Amboyans should certainly get busy with their unques-
toned and superior advantages.'
Are Perth Amboyans awake?
The promptness with which they make good through their new
organization will decide.

TO REGULATE
NICKELETTES
New Jersey Federation OF
Churches Have Bill.

Trenton. Jan. 31.-Censorship of
plays and moving picture shows is
contemplated in a bill that the New
Jersey Federation of Church is pre-
pairing for introduction in the Leg
~islature at an early date.
The Rev. Hugh McCauley, former
ly of Trenton, Is looking after the
matter and he has had talks with
several of the legislators on the sub
ject. The proposition is to have the
local boards of education act as cen
sors.
The theatres and the moving pic
ture shows should be subjected to
censorship In order to prevent vi
cious pictures from biting present.
ed" said the Rev. DR.. McCauley to-
day. mo decent theatre manager
will object to such wholesome GEN.
sorship, and the careful supervision
of plays and shows will weed out
plays and exhibitions hat ought not
to be tolerated.
There is a movement on foot to
do away with home lessons and to
give public school pupils their even
ings free. That means a new prob
lem for parents and for the public
generally.
Where shall these young folks
spend their evenings? Their homes
In many instances are not as attrac-
tive as they might be and the young
folks will go out. The moving pi
lures shows furnish cheap and in
many cases very wholesome amuse-
ment. These shows con be made ell
evating and educational ap' they
can also be made very HARMFUL. II
seems to me that 1t Is up to the Leg
islature to throw around the youth
all possible safeguards"

TRUE WEIGHTS
AND MEASURES
State Superintendent Tells
Of Work In Report.
(From the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, Jan. 31.-New Jersey
for a long time was n~oticeably
backward so far as legislation to
s~tandardize weights and measures
and prevent fraud upon the consum-
ers was concerned. Conditions be-
came so bad that they claimed the
attention of the Legislature OF
1911, The law makers needed the
plea for progressive legislation along
this line and enacted the present
law, which is second to none in the
United States. Occasional laws of
minor Importance had been pre-
viously passed, but they We're soon
lost sight of and never enforced.
Practically all work for honest
weights and measures was indiffer.
emily done.
The passage OF the new law raised
the standards OF efficiency. Now
every weights and measures official
In the state Is under the direct an.
pervtsfon Of the State Department
and the law against frauds Is en-
forced. The general result has been
the reconstruction and reorganiza-
ton of the entire system Of inspec-
uon OF weights and measures, so
that New Jersey Is protected as
never before. This is the summing
up OF the annual report Of William
L. Waldron, State Superintendent of
weights and Measures, which was
submitted to Governor Wilson to-
day.
superintendent Waldron makes a
number Of recommendations that he
thinks are needed still further 10

trates to pass judgment.
The report outlines the organiza-
ton of the new department following
the appointment of Mr.. Waldron by
Governor Wilson. and refers to the
crusades and the resultant reforms
already effected. Among these re-
forms were: Compelling butter deal
ers to mark the weight of their prints
upon the wrappers, thus stopping
the short-weight of butter; bringing
about the use Of standard dry meas
ures for selling dry commodities,
thus preventing fraud by the use Of
the liquid quart measure; prohibit
ton of the use of combination two
and four quart measures, as so many
of them were short; stopping the use
OF the so-called "bottomless'' meas
ures, as they could be manipulated
by dealers SO inclined.
Other reforms wrought were:
Prosecuting many coal dealers for
short weight; prosecution of garage
proprietors for having fraudulent
ive-gallon gasoline cans: standardiz-
ing the size Of milk bottles. In con
nection with this latter crusade,
Superintendent Waldron had a law
passed last winter requiring all glass
milk bottles to have their capacity
stamped in them. The report refers
to the exhibition of crooked weights,
measures n scales at the Interstate
Fair last fall, which the report says
was a great success and was visited
by over 100000 people.
Mr.. Waldron suggests that the
laws OF the various states should be
revised SO as to give a bushel of a
standard capacity. At present the
bushel capacity varies in most of the
States, and this works to the disad-
vantage Of New Jersey farmers and
dealers who market products In other
States.
The report shows that during the
year the department tested a total of
268.066 scales, measures and
weights. The total number of prose-
cutions for, violations was 1911, and
the amount collected in fines was
$~4,320.25. D.

safeguard the people against impo-
sition by INSCRIPTIONS dealers. He
strongly recommends, with the full
support of the new State Association
OF Weights and Measure S%uperinten-
dents, that a law be passed permit
ting fruit and vegetable baskets to
be only of q, 4, s, 16 and 80 quart
sizes, the bushel and its multiples.
Such a law is an absolute necessity,
Mr.. Waldron declares to rid the state
or odd sizes that defraud the con
sumers. The superintendent recon-.
mends that the dealers be compelled
to mark in permanent form the ca
pacfty of each basket thereon.
Another recommendation Is that
a law be enacted making mandatory
the use of standard dry measure
ment quart and pint boxes for the
sale OF small fruits and berries. All
sizes are now permissible, and many
Of them are short.
All superintendent in the state
should be vested with police privi-
leges, Mr.. Waldron, declares and he
recommends such a law. He says
superintendent should not be COM
PEELED to walt until a policeman can
be secured to make an arrest when
violators are discovered.
Another way in which the law
should be strengthened, Mr.. waldron
maintains, is by striking out the pro-
vision that a dealer must have known
a short weight or measure was false.
Several prosecutions failed the past
year. the report shows. because 1t
could not be absolutely proved that
the guilty dealer knew the weight
was short. The superintendent says
that ownership OF, possession Of false
measures, weights or scales Is the
most satisfactory kind OF evidence,
and should be sufficient. Superin-
tendent Waldron recommends the
abolition of the present method OF
trying cases before juries. because
1t has not worked out as satisfactor-
lily as we could wish. Offenders have
succeeded in having their cases de-
layed and finally quashed. The
trials, in addition, have proven very
expensive" Mr.. Waldron would SUBJ
stitute a law enabling city magis-

A THRILLING PLAY.

Next week attraction at the
BiJou theatre will be the play which
has become famous all over the coun-
try, ALASKA" 1t is a great play, as
might be expected, and one of I'M
usual interest. Many plays have
! some weak spots somewhere and
some dull lines. but Alaska" keepl
the beholder on the qui vive from
,. start to finish. 1t has been styled
an Intense drama of sustained in
terest' and this Is a very truthful
definition. The title of the play Is
suggestive of action, daring and adj
venture. the frigid climate of this
most northern possession OF the
country, where the mighty rushing
Yukon river tears its way to the sea
past cliffs and crags Of eternal Ice;
the primitive unbridled passions Of
red blooded men; the fierce schemes
of the gold drunkard thirsting for
the yellow glittering sands, and the
unlimited scope Of feminine artifice,
all combine to make q most powerful
drama very different from the ordi-
nary wild west" type. New and
elaborate scenery and startling stage
effects OF electrical and mechanical
skill Will make the play realistic in
the extreme. Ole week from Mon
day. February 8.
FUN AT PROCTOR'S.
Fun in a Schoolroom'' at Proc
tors brings the elderly back to by
gone days when they lived In the
shadow of the teachers rule; appeals
to the young fresh from the expert
ments presented. and fascinates the
children who appreciate the reality
of the cast. The school is made up
of eight pupils of different national
tiles, and much trouble do they make
for the "forbearing" professor, who
finds it necessary to put into practice
the old maxim, "Spare the rod and
spoil the child" One pupil from the
land of the Tiber has n rich, deep
voice and well initiates Caruso in
grand opera.
"DelmonicO's Upside Down." pre-
sented by iced and Lazelle, depicts
a scene in a slow restaurant where
the proprietor Is the cook and waiter
and the cook and waiter are the pro-
p%rietor. Though everything imagin-
! able is on the bill of fare, when a
young lady enters the place her de-
mands are found to be beyond the
possibilities OF the place to supply,
which causes much laughter among
the spectators.
Bernard and Bernard put on a
funny sketch which makes the audi
ence laugh loud and long.

parasite from the liver and from I'll.
GERS in the intestines. Water and
food become contaminated and con
vey the disease to other birds
Postmortem examinations show the
liver enlarged and with white spots
on the surface which vary in size,
some being no larger than the head
of a pin, while some are one-third
the size of the whole organ.
The disease is common in turkeys
Of all ages. When affected the bird
is dull in appearance, it's wings droop
and it sits around most of the time.
Diarrhea is a common symptom. The
head turns dark purple after death,
from which fact the disease gets its
name.
Medical treatment for birds show
ing symptoms of the disease is dis
appointing. Distinction of houses,
yards and watering troughs will help
to control the disease and prevent its
spread if properly carried out.
Whenever possible move the yards,
at least temporarily. Ground once
infected may remain so for several
months or years and new stock in
troduced without precautions are
pretty sure to contract the disease
Intestinal antiseptics in the drink
ing water have been reported as a
valuable course of treatment. Sui
phocarbolates and potassium perman-
ganate in small quantities in the
drinking water have been used by
some with partial success. These
sulphocarbolates can be purchased
in thirty-grain tablets which may be
dissolved in one quart of water and
administered either as a drink or by
mixing a soft mash with the liquid.
In addition, sick birds should receive
such nourishing foods as milk and
eggs.
To insure against loss the safest
course to pursue once the disease has
shown it's presence in any flock is to
remove what turkeys you intend to
keep for breeders to an entirely diff
ferent range and market all the re-
naming healthy specimens.

TAMARACK USEFUL
FOR fence POSTS
Value Of Underground Not Real
lied by Farmers.
CUT AND PEEL IN winter
BY H. r. FLINT, University Farm, ST.
Paul

ny rs H. i LIN university Tdtfly SlS
Paul.
Many farms in that part of Mime
sofa lying north of st. Paul and east
of the Red river prairies have upon
them, or on land lying near by, con-
siderable amount of tamarack timber,
the value of which is very often I'M
derestimated because much of the
growth is of rather small size.
Wherever the tamarack grows to
sufficient size to produce railroad ties
its value is fully appreciated Among
those who know it best it is no longer
despised as a source of saw timber,
for it has been found to produce ex-
cellent dimension stuff for rough
framing and floor planks, and good
boards for sheathing.
In many cases, however, owing to
hard conditions in the swamps where
it grows, the tamarack never reaches
sufficient size for ties or saw logs and
for some reason farmers seem not to
recognize its value for fence posts. AS
matter of fact the tamarack yields
fence posts which have many advan-
tages. They are easy to cut of con-
venient form and size, hold staples
WELL and are durable in contact with
the air and the soil. They are at
present, however, of value only for
local use, because they are too heavy
to ship long distances even when well
seasoned, and they season slowly.
For use as fence posts tamarack
should be cut and peeled in the win
ter. Winter peeling is easy if done
during thaw or in the first warm
days of February and March, and it is
better than later spring peeling be-
cause seasoning takes place more
gradually during the colder weather.
Tamarack posts should be well sea-
sOned by piling in open piles, after
peeling, and leaving until midsummer
or later before setting.
The sapWood, which is usually rath-
er thin, is subject to fairly rapid de-
cay which can be in a measure pre-
vented by preservative treatment
wherever that can be practiced. Where
regular treatment with creosote prepa-
rations is impracticable charring the
post at the ground line, over a fire,
gives satisfactory results.
