SICK DOCTOR
Proper Food Put Him Right.

The food experience of a physician

ishment the worst way, is valuable:

retain any ordinary food. I knew Of

ment or 1 could never recover.

Of Grape-Nuts and cream three times

my only food. 1t tasted SO delicious

"Grape-Nuts is of great value as food
to sustain life during serious attacks
in which the stomach is so deranged
it cannot digest and assimilate other
foods.

Waste of Rarnyard Manure.

Such pits are seldom made over 5 feet
deep and are wide enough so that the
manure may be loaded on a spreader
in the pit and drawn up a r~oughened
concrete incline or run. The slope for
such a run must rot be sleeper than
l foot up to 4 feet out.
In building a manure basin use a
team with a plow and scraper to make
an earthen pit in which to build a
concrete basin of the clear dimensions
shown. In laying out the earthen pit,
bear in mind that the concrete walls
and floor are 8 inches thick and make
due allowance for the same. With a
spade trim the sides and the deep end
vertical.
In order to form a stump hole from
which the liquid manure can be
pumped, in one corner at the deep end
of the pit dig a hole Is inches deep

WAR HITS MISSIONARY WORK
Church Boards In America Hear Of
Decentralization In Europe and
Far East.

Rev. DR.. S. Karl Taylor, secretary
of the board of foreign missions OF
the Methodist Episcopal church, said
that more than $50 Protestant clergy
men have gone to the front with the
French armies, and that practically
all of the German Methodist ministers
engaged in religious and missionary
work in south Germany are with the
German forces. The Methodist Theo-
logical school at Frankfort, DR.. Taylor
said, had been closed, as nearly all of
the students were called to the colors.

to be in great distress"
Fear was expressed by officials OF

American MiIitarv Historv.

One hundred years ago the little
American force pretentiously desig-
mated as the Army of the North re-
tired from P%lattsburg to the south
bank Of the Saranac river, in readiness
to meet the British army, which was
now almost within striking distance.
General Macomb, the American COM
mander, had about $500 men in his
army, but perhaps less than 1000 were
TT for active duty. The British force
numbered between 10000 and $4,000
men, the majority of whom werc vet
Grams in the service. Notwithstanding
the seeming impossibility of defense,
General Macomb Unanswered his little
army and gathered such reinforce
ments by earnest appeal as to enable
him to anticipate the meeting with the
enemy with the utmost confidence.

pany in a letter notified the Board of
Public Utility Commissioners OF the
railroads intention to disregard GER
tain recommendations made by the
Commission for the Improvement of
the bridge of the New York, Susque-
hama & Western Railroad Company
crossing the Hackensack River. The
Commission cited the railroad to ap-
pear in this city for a hearing. For
mer Assemblyman Duane E. Minard,
counsel for the Erie informed the
Utility Commission that the company
has confidence in its own ability to
repair a bridge properly, to design
repairs and to execute the work; that
it will not accept the direction of the
New Jersey Commission in respect
to these matters; that it does not
care to take the time to make a study
of the recommendations made by the
engineer of the Utility Commission
regarding every bridge repair that
arises, and that it will not do so;
that inasmuch as the Commission has
no jurisdiction in the matter it should
cease to make recommendations, al
though disregarded in the end, in

PLAYED Her part IN History

Carolina Maria, queen of Naples
who for many years played a promi
nent part in European politics, died in
Vienna 100 years ago. She was the
daughter Of the celebrated Empress
Maria Theresa of Austria. At the age
of sixteen she was married to Ferdi
nand, King Of the two Sicilies. Being
ambitious and high-spirited, she &C.
quired a paramount and evil influence
over her weak-minded husband. She
induced him to join the coalition
against Bonaparte in 1905, in conse-
quence of which they were expelled
from Naples the following year. The
daughter of Carolina Maria became
the wife of Francis I. emperor Of Aus
tria.

CIVIL SERVICE REPLY.
Does Not Cost 100000 a Year fer It's
Work, Says Commission.

The Civil Service Commission gave
out a statement detailing its expenses
since its organization. The statement
is in reply to recent newspaper COM
ments that the COMMISSIONS work in
this State is costing approximately
5000, 900 a year.
The statement of the commission
says:
"Inasmuch as a recent statement in
the public press that the civil service
work in the State of New Jersey is
costing the State approximately $780,
900 a year has received wide publicity,
the commission feels it a duty to the
u of civil service to make public
denial.
The. civil service work is not cost
ng, nor has it ever cost, the State
anything like the sum named. The
maximum appropriation yet made is
that for the coming fiscal year, and
amounts to $3.50 for the regular
work and $500 for the work of con
Quoting examinations for election
officers, a plan peculiar to this State,
distinct in method from the regular
work, and not properly chargeable
against the administration Of the
civil service system, as generally
understood.
THE appropriation for this year is
$43,500 for the regular work and
department, which amounts are not
likely to be reached in either case.
1--WE desire to call attention to the
fact that the Legislature of 1908 ap-
propriated a sum of $25, 1000 for the
fiscal year 1908-1909, at a time when
of necessity the law had not been
adopted by a single municipality.
Since that time Newark, Jersey City,
Paterson, Trenton, Elizabeth, East
Orange, South Orange and the New
ark school district have adopted the
law, twelve municipalities in all, re-
quiring additional appropriations Of
$18,500 up to November /, 1914, as
Stunning the entire $43,500 appropriate
ed will be found necessary, or slight
ly in excess of $500 for each mu-
nicipality.
I'm the distribution of it's labors
and of the funds placed at its dis
posal by the Legislature the commits
sion has adhered strictly to the plan
of civil service administration laid
down by the law as adopted in 1908,
and has endeavored to use the funds
at its disposal in such manne as to
promote the highest possible degree
of efficiency, and at the same time
to work as economically as possible,
and is confident that an honest COM
parison with the work of a similar
kind in other States will show that
this object has been attained"

Prison for Price Boosters.

Prison sentences and not fines, will
be the punishment melted out to those
found guilty of unwarranted price
boosting, according to a statement
from ]. Warren Davis, United States
district attorney for New Jersey, at
Washington. The maximum penalty
will be imposed upon all offenders, de-
clared Mr.. Davis.
That the probe is to be a thorough
one is evidenced by the arrival at
the federal building in this city of
Philip Harris, from the department
Of justice at Washington, to aid in
the investigation. He will commence
work in this city and later visit the
various municipalities of the State.
The attorney-general's department has
ordered that all cases in which evil
dence is found of unnecessary price
raising that the district attorney bring
the offenders before the federal grand
jury when it V here September
