JERSEY FARES REMAIN SAME.

South Jersey commuters scored q
distinct victory when the Board OF
Public Utility Commissioners hand
ed down a decision refusing to sane
ton the proposed increases in passen-
ger rates between points within the
State of New Jersey.
The essence of the decision was
that the railroads had failed to sus-
tain the burden of proof in showing
that the proposed increases were just
and reasonable.
In lieu of a formal opinion, which
will be prepared later, the board
gave out the following brief state
ment:
"The statute of New Jersey pro-
vides that when a carrier increases its
existing rates, the burden of proof to
show that the increase is just and
reasonable is upon the carrier. The
duty of the board is to approve such
increase only upon being satisfied
that the same is just and reasonable.
"This places the burden of proof
upon the company, and unless such
burden is sustained by the company
and such proof submitted as satisfies
the board that the increases are just
and reasonable, its duty is to with
hold approval. In this respect the
proofs fail"

MOTHERS Of
DELICATE CHILDREN
Should Read the Following
Letter-MrS. SIack's Story
About Her ChiId's Recovery
Is Entirely Reliable.

Palmyra, Pa.-"Three years ago my
little girl had black measles which left
her with a chronic cough and so awfully
thin you could count all her ribs, and she
coughed so much she had no appetite.
Nothing we gave her seemed to
help her at ell until one day Mrs. Neibert
told me how much good Vinol had done
her little girl, so | decided to try it for
my little one, and it has done her so much
good she is hungry all the time, her
cough is gone, she is stouter and more
healthy in color and this is the first win
ter she has been able to play out in the
snow, coasting and snow-balling without
any i'll effects. Mrs. ALFRED SLACK,
Palmyra, Pa.
We know Vinol will build up your
little ones and make them healthy,
strong and robust, therefore we ask
parents of every frail and sickly child
in this vicinity to try a bottle of Vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron tonic
without oil.
If we can induce you to try a bottle
of Vinol as a body-builder and strength
creator for your child, and you do not
find it is all we claim, we will return
your money on demand.

showed a saving in the case of the
1873 of $6.14 a ton and in the last of
the 1876 of $5.12 a ton.
In order to give the demonstration
a more lasting effect as we'll as to fl
nance it twenty farmers volunteered
to buy a 100 ID. lot of one of the mix
lures. These men are expecting to
use what they took home on their po-
tatoes along side of a plot upon which
the regular manufactured goods pur-
chased at a higher price has been used,
and it is the intention of both Mr..
Voorhees, and Mr.. Douglass to visit
each one of these men during the sum-
mer to keep in touch with the re-
suits. Mr.. Voorhees, further stated
that his services as well as those of
the County Demonstration would be at
the disposal of the farmers at any
time and expressed a desire to assist
where need be.

INSTRUCTING FARMERS
In USING FERTILIZERS
County Farm Demonstration Doug.
lass Would Teach The Arr Of
Buying and Mixing.

Mr.. Elwood Douglass, the County
Farm Demonstration, has taken a for
ward step in endeavoring to bring to
the farmers of this County a more ac-
curate and comprehensive knowledge
of the purchase and use of CONNER
cial fertilizers. There is no problem
confronting the farmers of the county
that bears greater relation to the
profitable production of crops than the
economic and efficient feeding of the
chase of the fertilizer but also the use
which in itself is a study, especially
upon the sandy soils of this county.
On March IL, Mr.. Douglas, assist
ed by Mr.. John H. Voorhees,, of the
New Jersey Agricultural Experiment
Station, at New Brunswick, conducted
a Home-Mixing Demonstration on the
farm of Nh. John Huenke, Cologne.
There are two methods of purchasing
fertilizer. In the one case, the manu-
facturer mixes the ingredients and in
the other the ingredients are bought
by the farmer and mixed in the farm
in the proper proportions for the var
ious crops for which it is to be used.
Experiments conducted at the New
Jersey Experiment Station at New
Brunswick during a period of no less
than twenty years have proved the
greater efficiency of mixing the ingre-
dents on the farm and analyses from
the same station extended over a per-
iod of ten years, show that a saving
of from Sc to $40 a ton may be made.
1t was to illustrate these points that
Mr.. Douglass conducted the demon
stration. Ingredients were mixed to
make a batch of 4-8-3 and 1000 Id.
batch of a 4-S-5 fertilizer before a
gathering of over fifty farmers from
the vicinity. The following mater
ials were used: Nitrate of soda, am
monia sulphate, dried blood, 16 per
cent. ammonia, acid phosphate Ia per
cent. and muriate of potash. Mr..
Voorhees, gave an address on "Home-
Made Fertilizers" illustrating his
talk by showing upon an improvised
blackboard the amounts of the var
ious ingredients used in the two mix
lures and figured the cost of each
from the purchase price including
freight and cost of handling which

How Much Longer
Will You Pay?

For four years in Pennsylvania, for two in New Jersey, the
Full Crew Law has had the acid test of everyday experience.
What has it accomplished?
Five and one-haf million dollars have been wasted by the rail-
roads, and in n single instance has the Full Crew Law, that com
pls this waste, contributed m jot to the safety of the travelling
public.
In proportion to the great body of railroad employees, the number
of extra men forced OF the railroads by the Full Crew bill is small.
But their pay is high, higher, in fact than the wages really earned
by most other classes of employees.
1t costs the railroads $2566 Sin ne year to pay the superhuous
tainmeno OF n passenger train operating between New York and
Pittsburgh.
That's but a single item, taken at random from the tremendous
bill which directly or indirectly each citizen has to pay.
But the people are now determined to pay this needless bill
no longer
If you have not yet voiced your personal demand that the
wastes OF this money that should be spent for your better and safer
service be stopped, a letter to your elected representative at
Harrisburg and Trenton is your most effective method.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live WE'LL eat we'll, digest we'll, work
well, sleep we'll, look we'll What a
glorious condition to attain and yet
how very easy it is If one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath acid stomach,
can, instead. feel as fresh as ad aisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole Of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach
The action Of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gvi esone a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex-
tracing large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism,
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sick1y compilations are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but it suffi-
cient to make anyone crank on the
subject Of internal sanitation.
