A low state of the general health

1t will usually be found that the

Thousands of mothers will testify
to the wonders it has wrought in
the lives of their own children, and
for that reason legions of families

NEWARK DIOCESE TO

Hackensack Clergyman to

of EpiscopaIians.

Rev. William w. Holley, of Hack
ensaclk, will tell the history of the
Episcopal diocese of Newark in Trim
ity Church next Wednesday after
noon, when its fortieth anniversary
will be celebrated by an afternoon
service and dinner in Trinity par
ish house at night.
In 1871 q demand for a separation
of the diocese of New Jersey was
made for the first time, but it was
not effected until November II, 1874
when delegates representing Essex
Hudson, Norris Bergen. Passaic
Warren and Sussex counties and
Summit, in Union county, met in con-
vention in Grace Church, Newark.
Opposition developed to the pro-
posal that the new diocese be called
Newark. and the name diocese OF
Northern New Jersey was adopted
which remained in force until 1886
when the present name was substi-
tuted. When Bishop Odenheimel
died on August IA, 1879, he was sue
ceeded by Rev. Thomas A. Starkep
of Paterson, who presided until 1908
when he was succeeded by Bishop

Business Impetus Expected
in New Jersey as Result
of Federal Reserve System
Special to the Evening Star.

TRENTON, Nov. 16.-The more
than 200 national banks in New Jer-
sey came under the operation Of the
new Federal reserve banking system
today, when it's machinery was put in
motion throughout the country. The
national banks of this State under
the new system will be members of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Phila-
delphia, one of the twelve created by
the act providing for the new cur
rency system, this State being under
the jurisdiction of the Philadelphia
district.
Money conditions in New Jersey are
expected to improve as the result of
the New Jersey bankers benefitting
from the enlarged credits that will
come to the national banks from the
district bank by reason of it's sharing
in the distribution of the $500, 100000 in
reserve funds from the treasury de-
partment at Washington, which will
be transferred to the twelve regional
reserve district banks. The effect in
this State will therefore be that the
national banks will be able to afford
their customers greater extensions of
credit than they have been able to al
low in the past, and the impetus TO
business in general is expected to in
4 crease in proportion to the enlarge
ment Of credit throughout the State
While the new currency law re-
ouires that all national banks must
become members of the district re-
serve institutions within a given pc
Rod or forfeit their charters, it is op-
tional with the State banks whether
or not they join. 1t is interesting to
note in this connection that so far as
can be learned none of the banking
institutions holding New Jersey char
tiers has enrolled under the new sys-
tenn
