speeial 10 the EsenIng scar.

TRENTON. Oct. I'm a statement
given out jointly by Colonel Alex
r. Fordyce. jr., Republican. and Ed
ward II. Wright, Democrat, members
of the Civil Service Commission, in
reply TO the one made last week by
State Comptrolled Edward |. Ed
wards. in which the latter charged
lack OF economy upon the part Of the
commission. the comptroller is in turn
charged by the two commissioners
with being grossly in error as to his
statements and is accused of lack of
frankness and with making misrepre-
sentations.
The statement does not represent
the views of the entire commission,
coming only from the two members
mentioned Commissioners Hoff and
Bur<. the other two members, refused
to concur in IT,
In addition to The Wright
statement. Chief Examiner and Sec
retary of the Civil Service Commits
sion Gardner Colby also takes a fling
at the comptroller. He intimates that
MIR. Edwards has been ndeavoring to
circumvent the civil service regula-
tioins. and gives instances. He de-
lclares that the comptroller is OBJ
structing the work of the department.
which may eventually lead to a sus-
pension of the departments work.
Fordyee- Wright statement.
The statement of Commissioners
Fordyce and Wright is in part as fol-
lows: In an interview reported in
the public press some two or three
weeks ago, Comptroller Edwards was
quoted as having said that the civil
service work of the State was costing
100000 annually. Having waited for
some time for a correction of this mis-
statement. this commission. believing
that it was naturally affecting un-
favorably the public view of the civil
service work. issued statement
showing the actual cost of the work.
which is about $4,000, or one-fourth
of the $200, ,000 alleged to have been
given by Mr. Edwards. The state
ment Of the commission made no
reference to the comptroller per-
sonally, either directly or indirectly,
and was in no sense controversial in
character.
apparently disturbed by his honest
sta tement of acts, the comptroller on
Friday last issued a general state
ment, through the press of the State,
in which, after saying that he was
misquoted in his previous interview,
he makes bitter and warranted
attack upon the administration Of the
civil service. particularly in its rela-
tion to his department

which Mr.. Edwards refers in this
latest statement to expenditures by

Aversion Of Companion TO Travel BY
Sea Led Sir Henry Iayard
Into Bible Lands.

The first man to undertake extern
sive and important explorations
among the ruins of Babylon and
Nineveh. SAYS the Milwaukee Senti-
mel, was Sir Henry Laysrd, who was
born in Paris ninety-seren wears ago.
1t was due to his friendship for a
Young man who had a great fear Of
seasickness that he wss led to begin
what was to be his life work. Lavartl
was cdncated and started for Ceylon
10 practice his profession.
He was accompanied by another
lad who had a horror of the ocean,
and Layard readily agreed when his
companion suggested that they make
tho trip by land across Europe, Asia
Minor, Persia and India. 1t was
while on this journey that Layard
was inspired with the ambition to
hclve among the ruins of the an
ricnt cities of Asia. "When | first
bchcld the mounds or Nlneveh, he
wrote, "a great longing came over
me to learn what was hidden within
them" lie yielded to the desire.
md largely at his own expense car
ricd on those excavations at Baby
ION and Nineveh which were chiefly
responsible for the discovery of the
lost records and relics ol people
who lived 5000 years ago. Many
cities and palaces, including the pal
ace of King Nebuchadnezzar, were
uncarthed by Layard and The most
valuable treasures in the British mu-
scum serve to commemorate his
name and fame.

THE TULIPS OF HARLEM.

The consular report mentions the
anxiety of the Dutch bulb growers
about the effect of the war on their
world-famous industry. HARLEM is
a specialized horticultural nursery
for all Europe and the United States.
The tulip, of course, is the typical
bulb, the symbol of this amazing
Dutch industry and a standard or
value-as wheat is the agricultural
barometer and pig iron the indus
trial Indicator.
The Dutch growers produce 1000
varieties of tulips. They sell a mil
lion dollars worth of bulbs to the
United States every year. The ma
tions at war may not be in a mood
just now for the gentle science of
tulip cultivation, but better day is
coming. Haarlem will be doing a
fiourishiAg business in bulbs, as for
centuries agone, when Essen's great
armament factories are turning out
implements of peaceful industry un-
der the Krupp brand.

CROP WASTE is ENORMOUS
Oiiigent Cleaning Would Yield an
Abundance Of Good Food for
the Hungry.

Ever since Ruth cleaned in the
fields Of Boaz there has been lesson
tc all mankind that there is enough
waste in the world to give all an hon
esi living, if it were only diligently
CLEANED.
The other day, riding through the
country We noticed many bushels of
dropped apples that were left to rot.
Why, we thought, could not those
apples be gathered and given to the
poor? No reason, except there was
no effort made to do it. We raise
millions to send Bibles to the hea-
then; why not few hundred to send
those apples TO the people who really
need them. 1t would give lots Of
happiness and improve greatly the
Christianity of those who do the
cleaning and the distributing.
There are many fruits and vege-
tables in our orchards and gardens
that are hardly marketable and vet
would be good food to many people.
Why might not the idle people be
organized to gather up this food and
scatter it among the poor? If an
organization was formed to receive
and distribute these gleanings there
would, no doubt, be plenty brought
IN. There is plenty of good will, if
it were only set in the grooves and
started along.-Ohio State Journal.

MUCH VIRTUE IN THE GRAPE
More Of the Fruits More Potent in the
Effects Upon the Human
system.

Since the dawn of creation the
grape has played d part III The the his
tory Of mankind. We find mention
of unfermented grape juice in the
earliest recorded history. In Greece
and Persia grapes were made into
a sirup in order that they might be
preserved as long out of season az
possible.
The grape contains many health
giving elements. Both the water
and sugar of the grape require no
digestion, so can readily be taken
into the blood. The mineral ele-
ments in the fruit clear, strengthen
and cleanse the liver, kidneys and in
testines. Some one has APPLY said
that if the grape were a medicine
more could not be claimed for it.
Grape sugar is one of the most
important elements contained in the
fruit Albuminous matter. lime,
iron. genuine cream of tartar, which
is tho natural salt OF the grape, and
vinous acid, which is similar to the
malic acid of the apple, are also
found. Indeed, there is no safer
tonic in health or general ill health
than the grape.
The grape is at its best when
nippcd by the frost. Those who
have had the pleasure of breakfast
ing on cold grapes pulled from the
vine on frosty morning will, in
deed, vote them a rare treat.
There is no more welcome addi-
ton to the preserve closet than grape
