Errors and ragged playing at seri-
GUS points in the game cost the State
Hospital Field cub the game with the

score of nine to one. George Enot
was on the mound for the locals and
pitched an excellent game, tanning
ten men and allowing the visitors on

lies in the fourth were due to an
error by Richards which allowed
Jesemer to make the complete circuit
pushing Reilly over ahead of him. IN
the eighth Shafer for the visitors
picked a single, Whe1an reached first
on VanOrden's error and Reilly sim
gled. Jesemer brought all three home
with three-bagger. The latter got

WORK OF DISTRICT NURSE
GREAT AID TO THE NEEDY
From Results Shown the Newest
Charity Should be Permanent
in Morristown.

To those desirous of securing the
district nurse permanently for Nor
ristown, the record of two weeks
work already accomplished will be OF
interest.
Acting under the direction of the
Central Bureau of Social service, the
nurse has made seyenty-nine nursing
visits and six friendly visits, a total
OF eighty-five visits. Sixty-eight ol
these were spent in ministering to
the health and comfort of little child
rem, and several were in behalf of ell
derly people, feeble and in some
cases helpless.
Two mothers meetings, both in
the nature of clinics, have been held
at the Neighborhood house, fourteen
people being present These will be
continued each week on Wednesday
afternoons from two to three. They
are open to all mothers, but especi-
ally to those wishing advice or help
In regard to the care and feeding OF
their babies. The mother whose baby
is now healthy and wela may never
theless wish te~ be prepared for that
time when sickness or some only part
ly understood ailment develops. Many
mothers would like suggestions in re-
gard to the best way to feed their
children. The district nurse will be
glad to examine children or to an
swer questions about their care. A
few simple remedies such as boric
acid powder, ETC., may be procured
from her at cost price.
TO those families who are in a pos
ition to pay for treatment in their
homes "a small charge of from ten to
twenty-five cents will be asked. We
believe that many people will wish
to avail themselves of the nurses
services and will prefer, if they are
able, to pay this small fee.
The district nurse may be reached
at the Central Bureau of Social Ser
vice, No % South street, telephone
No. 293,) from 9-10 a. m, and from
4-430 p. m.

TAKES HIS WlFE'S LIFE
THEN KILLS HIMSELF
George Johnson, of Madison, Insane
With Jealousy, Takes Two
Lives.

Jealousy was the primary cause for
George Johnson, forty-five years old,
of No. 1876 Kings road, Madison,
shooting and instantly killing his
wife, Mrs. Manice Johnson, and then
turning the egun upon himself ending
his own life. Three Shots were fired
by Johnson at his wife and all took
effect.
Mrs. Sadie Draper, of No. 1873 King
road, ws witness to the shooting.
She had been summoned by Mrs.
johnson to help her pack a suitcase
preparatory to the latter's going to
her home in Roanoke, Va. Johnson
called to his wife and as she was on
the stairway, few steps from the
bottom. Johnson fired. The second
shot was fired in the dining-room.
Then Mrs. Johnson reappeared at
the bottom of the stairway with her
two-year-old baby in her arms, appar-
emily intending to run to the second
floor At the first step her strength
failed her and she reeled Johnson
stepped up close to her and fired.
When his wife fell he put the muzzle
of the revolver to his own temple
and fired.
Neighbors say that the Johnsons
started quarreling weeks ago over "a
boarder then in the house. Mrs.
Johnson objected to having the man
there, but Johnson is said to have
insisted that she keep a boarder to
lessen the expense. After the man
had been in the house some time,
Johnson became jealous, according to
statements made by his wife to the
ai j. y.

MADAME ISE'BELL Says That Rouge Is Not Neces- sarily Vulgar, But May Be So

pupil has sent me the following let ter and, as many others are interested in the subject, am printing it with my an swer
 Dear Madame Ise'bel-Will you tell me frankly how you regard the use of ar tificial red on the cheeks? Can it be used without detection? l am growing very pale and it is not becoming to me. yet dislike doing anything that would make me look fast or vulgar
 Rouge that can be detected is better avoided. Eeither it has been put on has tily, or in a poor light or bad quality has been chosen. Every woman does not need rouge. but when colorless cheeks make a woman look old, ill., or unhappy, it Is time to change them. Recently l was watching well known actress who even under strong daylight looks R dozen years younger than she is make up her face for the day. She used liquid rouge which she says she puts on never more than twice week. She uses no soap on her skin, cleansing it always with good cleansing cream, which may explain the fact that the artificial color stays on so well.
 She shook the bottle, applying little or the rouge 10 a tower eHu, anu coHi- menced applying this first to one cheek, then to the other. rubbing from the cheek bones backwards. She included in this rubbing the skin over the eyes. the chin and the lobes of the ears, thus giving glow to the entire face. To do this she held her hand glass in strong daylight and she finished by carefully examining her profile. A little powder added gave her a fresh rosy and perfectly natural complexion.
 Remember. if you use rouge. use the best Have your face clean. skin smooth and in good condition when you apply 1t, put 1t on in 8 strong light and take the necessary time to do it. Under rouge rather than over-rouge and if you have any doubts as to this, wear face veil while on the street.
