NEW LAW TO
CHECK CHILD LABOR

Three of the newly enacted laws
which will become operative on July
are stringent measures to prevent
absolutely the employment of children
underf ourteen, and the employment of
children under sixteen without an age
and school certificate. s
Heretofore there has been a clash
between the school and labor depart
ments over the issue of certificates,
and it was charged that many chill
dren had secured certificates by mis-.
representing their ages.
This years legislation was designed
to remove all friction. Now only one
person will have authority in each
school district to issue certificates and
that person, teacher, principal or
superintendent, must be designated
! by the local Board of Education. The
application and certificate must be
sent to the. Labor Department, where
they will be recorded and returned.
This VIII keep the two departments
advised Of the number of certificates
issued, and certificate may be cam
celled on the order of the State Com
missioner of Education.
Children, in order to get certifi-
cate, must pass medical examina-
ton, the physicians certificate to show
that each child is in good health and
physically able to work.
Employers who violate this law will
be severely dealt with, the penalties
running up to fines of $1,000 and a
year in prison, besides having their
business places classed as "disorderly
houses

CROPS LOOKED UP A
BIT THE LAST week

Trenton, N. j., June 23.-General
improvement in crop conditions in
New Jersey is reported by the clima-
tological service of the United States
weather bureau, for the week ending
today at noon. During most of the
last week unfavorable weather pre-
vailed for most crops, but notwith-
standing this and low temperature,
the only backward effect was to check
the growth, which proved helpful in
localities that were too dry. The re-
port says:
~As a rule, there was sufficient mois-
ture over the northern portions of the
state, shading off toward the southern
counties to serious lack Of rain. In
the southern portion some early gar
den truck has been largely g failure,
and is now past help. Sweet potatoes
and tomatoes were seriously threat
ened with drought, but the Monday
morning rain has probably greatly
helped them. Hay and grain are prob
ably only slightly subnormal, if any,
in the middle and northern areas, and
potatoes look good, although troubled
with beetles. Fruit has fine ap-
pearance. and cranberry vines are
well advanced and have suffered nc
frost damage"

DEVELOPMENT
OF PRISON FARM
Close Observance Should
Be Followed.
DOUBLE CAP AC|Ty.
Not Unlikely That the Farm at
Leesburg Will Be Busy Home
of 400 Convicts.

1t seems assured now that the de-
velopment of the State Prison Farn
at Leesburg will be much more rapid
than was at first planned There is
at present employed upon the farm
81 prisoners and all of them are CIV
Ing an excellent account of themselves
The planting of crops and the culti-
vation of the land is going on most
satisfactorily. The Prison Inspectors
have quarters now arranged for 40
more prisoners and these will be
brought from Trenton probably next
week.
The Prison Labor Commission, of
which. Richard NJ More, of this city, is
a member, had a meeting in Trenton
| this week, and took up the matter of
giving employment to prisoners upon
the expiration of the prison contracts
now existing. Various enterprises for
the prison were suggested under the
State use system, but the appropri-
alton for the installation of the sys-
TEN made by the legislature, is not
nearly large enough to provide any
comprehensive plan.
A matter most favorably considered
by the Commission to give employ
ment to she largest number of men,
was the immediate development of the
State Prison Farm upon large scale
and make the institution a permanent
one.
slne of the plans proposed is t
provide, temporary quarters upon the
farm for thex accommodation. of per,
haps 400 prisoners. It is further sug,
gested that brick manufacturing
plant can be established upon the
tract as we'll as a saw mill. A vast
amount of employment could be pro-
vided in manufacturing and turning
out building materials, and the per-
manent buildings for the Prison Farm
could be started at once.
This plan seemed to meet the ap.
proval of all of the members of the
Prison Labor Commission, and is alss
endorsed by the State Prison Inspec
tors.
If the plan should be worked out
promptly, the Leesburg farm would
become most important within the
next IL months.

WEISS BEER

&
Mayor Arthur C. Whitaker is maxi
ing an investigation of the concoction
known as Weiss beer. The bottled
stuff has the appearance of lager beer
and has taste somewhat akin to the
real brewed hops. A few years ago
when George Hampton was Mayor, he
declined to allow its sale here by bot
tiers. Now Millville bother is bring
ing the stuff here and disposing Of it
in considerable quantities. Mayor
Whitaker will learn what per cent
age of alcohol there is in Weiss beer
and be governed according to the an
alysis. These near beer concoctions
are always suspicious.

HOG CURE
IS DENOUNCED

Evidence of what appears TO be a
we'll organized campaign to delude
farmers throughout the country into
buying an alleged cure for hog chol-
era, under the impression that this
has been investigated and approved
by the United States Government, has
reached the Department of Agricul-
ture. Articles praising this medicine,
Benetol by name, are being sent out
widespread to newspapers. These ar
ticles are so worded that it appears
as if the Department of Agriculture
had received reports from the State
of Minnesota showing that the medi-
cine, had proved most beneficial. As
a matter of fact the one report re-
ceived by the Department was an un-
official and unsolicited statement sent
presumably from the promoters them
selves. The Department attaches no
importance whatsoever to this state
.ment. 1t has no reason to believe in
the efficiency of any proprietary cure
for hog cholera and does not recon-
mend any. Under certain conditions
it urges farmers to protect their stock
with anti-hog cholera serum but that
is all.
In connection with this attempt it
may be said that the medicine, which
is now put forward as good for hogs,
was advertised some time ago as a
means of killing tuberculosis, typhoid,
and cancer germs, according to an
article published in the Journal of the
American Medical Association. At
that time it was asserted that the
Army was interested in it. AS mat
ter of fact the Army was no more in
terested then than the Department of
Agriculture is now.
Bridgeton pioneer. (Bridgeton, N.J.) 1884-1919, 1914-06-25

In view of the evidence that the aI-
tempt to Great this false impression
is persistent and widespread, all hog
with the United States authorities be-
ore accepting as true any statement
that the Government recommends any
treatment other than the serum al
ready mentioned.

LEE IS BACK

The Man They

REFUSES 10
DISCUSS CASE
Would Not Talk Over the Tele.
phone and Father Could
Give Little Information
of WaRaering

After an absence of two months,
during which ne had been mourned
as dead by his family and friends,
John w. Lee yesterday morning re-
turned to his hea=e at Piedmont and
considers that hts departure from
these parts was nsf at all unusual.
His father told an Tntelligencer re-
porter last night thar his son did not
seem TO think people of Piedmont
and vicinity shouidfN been alarm-
ed over his disappearance.
Lee was taken iil eflarge In Doug
las. Ga, last Friday by police Off
cials OF that place and held until
members of his family could come To
the Georgia town His son and q
brother-in-law went to Georgia,
where they found tue man detained
by the police aud 4t once identified
him. The trip baeE home was made
Sunday afternoon and the party ar
rived at Piedmont yesterday morn
ing, taking an automobile for WI r.
Lee'st father OF the IMAM who had dis
appeared
w 10 Zee, talking With an intelli-
geneef reporter last night. said that
his sons health he'd suffered and
that he was nov d Weakened con-
sdition. He said tag hcre wassiittle
a0ult but that his silid had become
sdernnged and that mental coiifi-
} ton glns spnors 3, 6 =
len asked rs sgii the ilizn
said OF his long silence and his dis
appearance, dr. Lee s1Sd they coiiid
not set him to discusS it. that he
seemed to think there was nothing
unusual In the case and that he
merely had been living in Georgia
ever since he left here. While In
Douglas he worked ut the carpenter
trade and made his living by that
occupation.
One feature of the case OF suassing
interest is that he still retained the
bicycle o. which he sa.1c &c Aa5sr-
son the day he Disappeared and
brought the machine back with him
from Georgta yesterday 1t had
accompanied him on all his travels.
The father said that his son, after
spending the day in Anderson on De
cember %, went to Augusta, Ca, and
that then he first realized that he
wa5 10 q str.lage town he did not
even know where 1t was and had TO
ask what town he was IN. He then
proceeded from that city to Douslas
where he has been ever since, HaI-
though he will give no account OF
why he happened to pick Douglas OF
what his idea was In gong there.
Mr. Lee said last night that he
hoped his son might possibly recover
both his health and mental faculties
in time.

WILL CONSIDER
TOLL EXEMPTION
Democratic Caucus of the Sen.

Attitude
fBy Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 9.--Repeal OF the
provision of the Panama canal act
eXeInpting American coastwise ships
from tolls, favored by President Will
son, is to be made subject OF con
sideratiou and action by democratic
caucus Of the Senate. That this
would be wise and necessary course
in the interest OF party harmony and
the nations foreign policy, is the
conclusion of administration senator's
who have discussed the subject with
the President within tho last few
days. The President today told call
ers he did not intend to send q mes
sage to Congress on the subject.
How soon the caucus will be called
has not been determined, but several
senators today frankly asserted that
the democrats would get together to
weigh the situation as presented BIZ
the President and settle for them
selves the whole key. The fact that
the democratic party endorsed the
toll exemption policy at the Balti-
more convention, these senators and
President Wilson hold, should rot
be q subject Of open controversy at
this time, because conditions in
yolved In the tolls ,uestion have
changed since that time. The point
to be settled is whether the policy
OF toll ls,adouted by the nation through
the 0etioI OF Congress should he re-
syersed egardless of the declaration
