A billion pounds live weight produce
nearly 800, GOO, 900 pounds of dressed
meat and lard. This amount would be
sufficient to furnish every family Of
the United States (average four and a
half persons) about 40 pounds. II
there had been no such loss, probably
increasing scarcity of meat would
have been largely prevented.
The losses of swine from disease
are usually heaviest in southern states
and lightest In northern states. Esti-
mates Of losses have been kept for
30 years. The states showing the
heaviest average yearly loss in these
80 years are, in their order, Arkansas.
119 per 1000; Louisiana, 10; Florida,
1O9; the states showing the lightest
losses are Maine, 10; Wyoming, 10;
New Hampshire, %. In Georgia the
average is "a, in Alabama and Missis-
sippi, each go; in Texas. Sc; whereas.
in New York the average is 26, in
Michigan, "a; in Minnesota, 46; in
North Dakota, 81, and in Washington
and Oregon, 26.
The epidemic has abated somewhat
in he past year, as compared with the
preceding year, in most southern
states, but has increased greatly in
the northern states. Thus, In Florida
the loss has decreased from ITO per
1000 in 1912 to $50 in 1913; in Geor-
gia, from 165 to 90; in Alabama. from
ITO to 100; in Mississippi, from 154
to 1O4; in Kentucky, from IS to 90:
in Missouri, from ITS to 90; whereas
in Iowa the loss has increased from
$50 per 1000 in 1912 to 255 per 1000
in 1913; in Minnesota. from SIS to 214:
in Nebraska, from 10 to IT'S; in South
Dakota, from SO to 230, and in North
Dakota, from 20 to rs. The tendency
of the three epidemics e to
have been, in a general way, to move
as a wave from South and East to
North and West.

cARo-PLAYlNe is GAMBLING,
Supreme Court Knocks Out Convicted
Gamblers Unique Plea.


The Supreme Court affirmed the
conviction of Joseph Ford, indicted II
Atlantic county and sentenced to a
year in State Prison and fined $1,000
for gambling. Although Ford pleaded
guilty to the indictment of habitually
keeping a place for gambling in Az
lantic City an appeal was taken on the
ground that Notwithstanding his plea
the sentence should be vacated be-
cause the indictment did not charge Il
crime.
The peculiar claim was made that
the gambling" denounced by the law
under which Ford was indicted only
meant horse racing and pool selling
and did not extend to playing of cards
and dice. 1t was further held that
the punishment was cruel and unusual
and included hard labor" in State
Prison when the act had no sucn
intention. The Supreme Court held
that gambling did include playing with
cards and dice and that hard labor is
a necessary part of sentence to State
Prison whether it is included in the
act or not.

Woman scorns MoIIycoddle.

Miss Harriet Townsend, Elizabeth's
first woman School Commissioner,
made her first speech at a meeting
of the Board of Education, denounc-
ing what she termed "mollycoddling'
the pupils by dismissing classes when
the temperature in the school-room
reaches 80 degrees. Miss Townsend
declared that dismissals because of
weather had a tendency to make the
pupils non-resisting. Although Super
intendent Of Schools Clement defended
the principals, a committee was Ap-
pointed to Investigate the practice.

Wins Six-Year Fight.

The Court of Errors and Appeals
set aside a verdict in favor of the
West Jersey & Seashore Railroad
Company in the suit of Edmund Tar
lucki, who was hurt by stepping on
an electrified third rail at Mays Land
ing. When he was injured Tarlucki
was IL years old, and the suit has
been pending in the Courts more than
six years.
On behalf of the plaintiff it was
held that it was the duty of the CON-
pany to protect the electrified third
rail. The boy was shocked at a by
road. The company held there vas no
crossing at the point, which made Tar
lucki a trespasser. The Court, how
ever, held that a jury might have i'll
ferred that the by-road had been in
existence for three-quarters Of a cen
fury and that during that time it had
been used for public purposes. For
this eason the trial Judge should
have allowed the case to go to the
jury instead of granting a non-suit in
favor Of the railroad company.

Gets Goat for Mutton.
For selling the State goat for NUT
ton the State Board of Health Is to
institute suit against a number OF
supply contractors. The goat meat
was sold to the Morris Plains Asylum,
and, while it is admitted that the
meat is perhaps fully as good as
mutton, it ought to be lower in prizes
and should be branded.
The Health Board holds that the
substitution is a violation of the
misbranding act, and the suits
will probably be brought at once.
