Interesting Lessons in Agricul-
ture Arranged for School
Children by the Depart
ment of Agriculture
STATE ASSESSORS MEETING
LOCAL ASSESSORS
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Special Meeting of Governor and
Council Will Be Held at 8 p. NJ,
Friday, July 8.

A number of very interesting lessons
for children are contained in bulle-
tin recently issued by the State de-
partment of education entitled "Agri-
culture in the Rural Schools The
booklet consists of three distinct parts,
the first relating to children's school
gardens, the second containing exer-
cises in elementary agriculture, and
the third giving valuable information
concerning boys and girls agricultural
clubs.
For example, by means of the exer-
cises in elementary agriculture the stu
dents are taught the Importance of
draining land and given a thorough
drilling in the various kinds of soils.
By one exercise the children are taught
to test the temperatures of the soil at
different places under varying condi-
lions. The effect of humus and lime on
a clay soil is brought to the attention
of the children. and they are also Civ
en- instruction as to the water capacity
of soils, and the use of soil water to
plants. These documents for the pro-
motion of an intelligent interest
among country children in the affairs
of rural life will be sent to teachers
on application to the State superin-
tendent of schools.

Forest Fire at Charlotte Reported.

State Land Agent and Forest Com
missioner Blaine S. Viles Monday re-
ceived the report of forest fire at
Charlotte which burned for six hours
over territory of 20 acres. The cause
of the fire was not known but it was
thought to have been incendiary.
Young and small growth of hard and
soft wood. the greater part being
spruce and cedar, was burned and the
damage was estimated at about $40.
The fire was fought by the third Sc
lectman of the town and crew of 10
men and as no water was near, the
work was carried on most effectively
by renching with shovels. On the fol-
lowing day no smoke or fire appeared
on the site of the previous fire. The
fire was upon land owned by Clarence
NJ. Smith of Charlotte. The report of
the fire was signed by the selectmen of
the town.

Gently Assisting Nature

Those who find their breath bad in
the morning, bad taste in the mouth.
coated tongue, a mean feeling in the
head, will do well to try Pinklets, the
new laxative.
Constipation, which these symptoms
denote, is dangerous because it means
that poisonous materials which should
have been expelled from the body are
being retained. II is condition which,
If NOT corrected, becomes chronic.
Even chronic constipation can be cor
rected by care in the diet and persis-
tent treatment with a gentle laxative.
The use of harsh laxatives, unfortu-
nately SO common, gives temporary re-
lief but in the end aggravates con-
stipation. Pinklets are dainty, sugar
coated pills, hardly larger than a
mustard seed and they act gently
causing no nausea or gripping. They aid
digestion and are a good after dinner
pill. especially whenA more food has
been taken than the needs of the body
require. They clear away the waste
and prevent congestion. With little
persistence, which the result is well
worth. they really correct chronic con-
stipation.
Your druggist sells Pinklets or they
will be sent postpaid, on receipt OF
price, 25 cents per bottle, by the DR.
