REVELATI0NS0F WIFE

Did you wash the egg before you put the shell in? %
 over Dlckys face flashed a startled look guilty look, it appeared to me. But It was gone in an instant, and he burst into roar of laughter
 The Saving Recollection.
 So that's what's troubling you, is II :! Well, don't worry any longer That egg was scrubbed and rinsed and s:erilized and fumigated. It was the most sanitary object you know when it went into the coffee.'
 A little unreasoning feeling of anger rose in my heart against Dicky. I knew from the look on his face when ] asked him about the egg that he was not telling the truth when he said that lie had washed it. I could not tell him that he was uttering a falsehood. and on the other hand the mere thought of the unwashed egg shell made me feel that it would be inn possible for me to taste the coffee.
 If he only had told the truth we could have made fresh coffee. Now ] did not know what to do. I mechan- ical1y took some cups and plates and silver from my kitchen cabinet and placed them on a trav. Carving ltlCIIl ilieo ehAC lIN HE IOOn1 l arranged them on the reading table. Then I brought the electric toaster from the d1n1ng room and attached it to one cf the light sockets. I was about to start back to the kitchen for more things when I meet Dicky bearing a, tray piled With bread, butter. the sandwiches and ale which he wished fo1 himself a small pitcher of cream a dish with loaf sugar and a larger pitcher containing the coffee.
 "There," he said as he put down the tray 'I guess here's every little thing you need. Why didn't YOU let ne attach the toaster? I suppose I've made a mess in the kitchen, but Katie can clear it up--that is if you don't fire her for meddling with vour lavalliere.''
 As if the mention Of Katie's name had been the key to unlock my prob lem, l had an instant's vivid vision of Katie as she appeared one morning when I went to the kitchen to give her an order.
 She was standing before the sink, scrubbing the eggs which had just come from the dealer.
 T no like use eggs unless they Wash,' she said in explanation.
 So the egg had been washed after all!

AN ARGUMENT AROSE at q friends house the other day in regard to the right use of the word "arbi- trate.'
 Lets look it up," said someone.
 The hostess laughed. "Youll think we're terrible, I know" she said, but we haven't such a thing as diction- ary in the housss"
 Just think of that And they have been married eight years and have a boy who is almost big enough to be taught to use a dictionary,
 It seems to me that a proper re- spect for the dictionary needs to be inculcated in every American home. Of course, comparatively few of us are so benighted as not to possess at least one dictionary, but frequent Fly it is so large a copy and so cum bersomely stored away that the very thought of getting it out is burden. A Get-at-able Dictionary Needed In
 Every Homo.
 A get-at-able dictionary ought to be part of the furnishings of every house Get your boy good abridged copy that is easy to handle and con- tains seven-eighths of the words he will want to look up, or better still, get little table or stand for your big dictionary so that you can easily refer to it.
 I have a friend who has diction- arv so placed and we seldom discuss matters of any weight in her home without having recourse to 1t. Why such a constant usc of the dictionary you may ask? Because, to discuss anything intelligehtly, you must use vour words accurately and to use your words accurately you must know just what they mean and to know just what they mean you must occasionally have recourse to the

Besides this stellar attraction a two-reel Keystone comedy will also be shown. Fred Mace and typical Keystone sup- porting company will be seen in The Janitor's Wife's Temptation" a screamingly funny two-act comedy that will make you hold your sides for laughter.
 The Pathe News, showing on Thurs- will round out the balance of the off fering that cannot be eclipsed for itsl marked excellence.
 Quality not quantity seems to be the slogan at FoX's. The program for tonight carries this slogan to it's fulls est truth. Weber and Fields, those two sterling comedians known the world over are seen in the Keystone comedy, "The Best of Enemies" two reels of hearty laughter and spontah- eous roars. This comedy is worth seeing as it will be immensely en~ joyed. The big multiple feature is the Griffith production of "The Gol- den Claw" featuring Bessie Barriscale and an all star supporting company. The theme of the play is intensely in4 teresting and carries home a lesson that will finger in your mind for many months to come

 We Wanted the EXACT Meaning.
 For instance, we were talking the other day about these phrases that. without having either metre or rhyme to be remembered by, never theless remain in cur minds--for in stance, such phrases as Like the shadow of a great rock in q weary land" We had not talked two min- utes before we found we should give ourselves better grounding for the discussion by looking up the word rhythm.
 Many heated argument is caused by nothing more nor less than ths fact that the parties to it are read ing different meanings into the words they use.
 Some People Never Use d Dictionary
 Except to Look Up Words.
 Practically all the business of life is transacted through language, spoken or written. It is obvious that it can be more sl<ilfully transacted by those who most thoroughly unS derstand this medium. The dtction- ary is the first foundation of all such knowledge. Yet many people muddle along through life without opening dictionary more than once or twice a year, and then probably to determine the spelling of word.
 Tremendous labor has gone lnt@ compiling the dictionary. It makes me positively dizzy to try to con ceive how much (almost like trying to conceive the fact that there wasn't any beginning to the Uni verse;. It we had to pay big. price for it we should treasure it and use it. Let us not be so foolisI as to hold it cheap because it is in- expensive.

Farm Notes.

BY the efforts of Herman Croshaw. q
pig club has been organized at Wrights
town. The following six BOYS have
selected their pigs and begun work: s.
Frederick Johnson, Everett Croshaw,
Norman Fow, Russell Croshaw, Russell
Fow and Perry Dazell These bows are
keeping records of what it costs them to
feed their pigs and at the end of the
season will be able to tell their fathers
Just what it costs to produce a pound OF
pork. At the beginning of the test all
thepigs were weighed; in December thev
will be weighed again, slaughtered and
dressed. This will be made an all dav
picnic affair, the work being done at
some central point in the morning. AT
noon dinner will be served by the sisters
and mothers and big time enjoyed by
the boys. In the afternoon prizes will
be awarded and the boys will tell how
they carried on their work. Thev are also
hoping to have few noted speakers.
Seven different demonstrations have
been started on the home raising of seed
potatoes. One method being tried out is
as follows: The demonstrator has dug
by hand immature Cobblers selecting
only the strongest and healthiest hills:
these potatoes have been placed in cold
storage to preserve them in good condi-
ton as seed, until cold weather, when
they will be returned to the farm and
stored in a good cellar or pit. These
potatoes will be planted next spring in
comparison with Maine grown, and
home grown late-planted seed. If these
potatoes will produce as we'll as the late
crop, both being immature, it will be a
more economical way to procure the
seed as they will out-yield the late
planted potatoes. Those cooperating
in this test are w. H. Engle, Medford,
five sacks of potatoes; Barclay Allen,
Vincentown, five sacks; Aubrey Walton,
Moorestown, two sacks; Isaac Harrison,
Chesterfield, two sacks.
Newlin A. Lippincott, of Fostertown,
and Allen NJ. Fenimore, of Mount Holly.
are cooperating on demonstration to
produce the best possible late-planted
seed potatoes. Both men have sorted
their seed before cutting it. being careful
to discard any tubers showing disease or
not appearing to be true Cobblers. These
fields will be gone through in Septem-
ber cutting out all plants that do not
look like Cobblers or that show any dis
ease. Clifford Engle, of HaiDesport; ].
A. Jones, of Mount Holly; and Barclay
Allen, of Vincentown, are planting
second crop potatoes in compa rison with
late crop seed; that is, first crop potatoes
have been dug and placed in the light to
green, and are then planted in compari-
son with Maine potatoes held in storage.

Two Women Killed in Auto Crash

AWO WOIlISH AlIl6Q IN AUTO NTaSn
Two women were killed in an automo
bile accident at Jobs bridge, between
New Gretna and Tuckerton, on Satur.
day night, the collision doubtless being
the result of race between the two
high-powered cars.
The dead women are Miss Agnes
Kreamer, of Boston, and Mrs. Ethel L.
Browning, wife of Frank Browning, of
Columbus, Ohio.
Both cars were en- route from New
York to Atlantic City. The front car
was owned and driven by Joseph E.
Howard, song composer. He was ae-
companied by his wife and Mr.. and
Mrs. Browning. The Brownings, vaude-
vile performers, were on their way to
fill an engagement at Atlantic City.
The second automobile, owned by ].
M. Schlesinger, of No. 71S Broadway,
New York, was driven by his chauffeur,
James Deaton, and contained Miss
Kreamer, another unmarried lady, and
three men.
Both cars were being driven at high
rate of speed, and the Howard car had
passed the other short time before the
accident. Deaton hit up speed and sig
nailed the other car to give room:to pass.
Thinking he saw an opportunity to get
by, Deaton pulled to the left and at
tempted to go ahead. He says he did
not know there was bridge, which he
could not see on account of the dust.
His car struck the fender leading to
the bridge, breaking off wheel, which
rolled down the road distance of about
100 yards. The car also struck the other
car and caused it to strike the wing wall
at the other end of the bridge. Both
cars we're badly damaged The rear car
had three wheels demolished.
Miss Kreamer was thrown consider
able distance and instantly killed by
having her skull crushed. Mrs. Brown
ing sustained internal injuries by strik-
ing the wind shield of the car in which
she was riding on the front seat She
was taken to the hotel at New Gretna, !
where she died short time later Death
was caused by hemorrhage and pune
tured lung resulting from crushed ribs. |
Mrs. Howard sustained a long, bad
cash on the cheek and severe shock TO
her nervous system. She was taken to
an Atlantic City hospital. The other
occupants of the cars escaped injury.
The bridge at which the accident oc-
Cured is quite narrow, but of sufficient
width to permit two cars to pass with
ordinary care. There is no doubt that
chauffeur Deaton did not know of the
presence of the bridge, on account of the
dust and consequently thought he had
plenty of room to pass There is no
doubt, also, but that both cars were run ,
ming at great speed.
Deaton was arrested and locked in the
jail at Mount Holly, to await the result
of an inquest to be conducted by Coro- ,
ner Gaskill at New Gretna tomorrow
The occupants of the Howard car went ,
to Atlantic City. Some of the occupants I
of the other automobile left New Gretna
and have not yet been located.
The bodies of the two dead women
were placed in charge of undertaken !

New LiQht Rate Unsatisfactorv

When Pemberton borough council
received notice that there would be an
increase of $40 per lamp for street
lighting, great protest was register
ed and harsh things were said about
the Pemberton Water, Sewer and
Light Company, which supplies gas to
light the town.
The gas furnished is made from a
high-grade gasoline, which the COM
pany claims now costs SO cents per
gallon, almost double the price it was
when the present lighting contract
was made. There are so street lamps
in the borough, the price for which
has been $25 per year, total of $3.50.
The company gave notice to council,
at recent meeting, that at the ex-
piration of the present contract the
price would be increased $40 per lamp,
on account of higher prices for ma
terials used in the manufacture of gas.
At meeting of citizens, held last
week, it was decided, by vote of 81
to IL, that the increase was unjust and
that the proposition should be reject
ed. If this is done, the town will be
in darkness until some other arrange
ments can be made Several PROPOSE
tions are being onsidered-putting in
the gasoline lamps that formerly were
used; organizing an electric light COM
pany, In connection with New Lisbon
people, to supply current to both
places, public and private, including
the Pennsylvania railroad, and other
projects.

Infantile Paralysis

It is in the neighborhood. There
| are three cases at Moorestown. The
authorities there waited until the
dread disease made its appearance and
then they instituted preventive meas
ures. They decided not to allow chill
dren to go to moving pictures or to
/ places where children congregate. The
swimming pools we're closed and every
effort is being made to keep the dis
ease from spreading. Philadelphia
authorities also waited until the paral-
ysis became prevalent in that city.
Then it was decided that children un-
der Is years of age must not go to
moving pictures.
lnfantile paralysis has not yet been
reported in Mount Holly, but are the
township officials going to wait until
II gets here or are they going to take
the ounce of prevention? Infantile
paralysis is by no means a new dis
ease. For the last ten years there
have been epidemics of the disease. In
1907 there were $500 cases in New
York city. In New Jersey AT cases
were reported in 1911, So cases with
21 deaths in 1912, 81 cases with 20
deaths in 1913, 35 cases with 18 deaths
in 1914, 35 cases in 1915, and for the
first six months of 1916, 20 cases have
been reported.
Infantile paralysis is distinctively a
disease of the young, usually occur
ring most frequently during the sec
ond or third year of life About 80
per cent. of all cases occur during
childhood but no age is immune, and
some epidemics affect quite a large
proportion of adults. Warm weather
seems to be a predisposing condition
for the spread of infantile paralysis.
The disease is now regarded by most
observers as ian Inflammation of the
interstitial tissue of the central ner-.
vous system" The process is not
limited to the spinal cord but NAV oc
cur in the medulla, pons, cerebrum,
cerebellum and membranes. Some of
the nerve centres are DESTROYED and
som of the nrves lading to the mus
cles undergo degeneration as a result
of the disease and that is what causes
paralysis.
In addition to the control of the
known cases it is important and ad-
visable to prohibit if possible chill
dren's gatherings, in order to prevent
as far as possible the dissemination of
the disease by carriers or unrecogniz-
ed cases. The burden of taking meas
ures to prevent the spread of infantile
paralysis should not rest upon the
authorities alone. During an out
break parents should keep their chill \
dren at home. They should not allow
them to associate with other children
and especially to attend gatherings of
any Kind.

Man Found Dead Near Bridge,

The dead body of Constable Harry
Eddleman was found by boys, early on
Sunday afternoon, lying on some stones
at the base of an abutment of the King
street bridge. The mans feet were cover
ed by water, but the body was above the
level of the creek. There was bad
wound on his forehead, and his face and
neck were bruised.
Early on Saturday night persons pass
ing along the street saw Eddleman
asleep on the top of one of the wing
walls of the bridge. Later, when some
one went to look for him, he was not
tnere' and it was supposed he had
awakened and gone away. 1t is sup
posed that he rolled off the wall and
met death by striking his head on the
stones below
Ihere was no evidence of robbery hav-
ing been committed, as some money. a
revolver, and other articles were found
in his clothes. Relatives state, however
that he had considerable more money
when he left home than was found after
death.
Coroner Gaskill started an investiga-
ton, and requested DR.. Elmer d. Prick
lit to make careful examination of the
body to ascertain the cause of death.
The physician decided that cerebral
hemorrhage, as result of the wound
on the forehead, had been the cause.
The coroner decided that death was acci-
dental.
Eddleman had just returned, on Sat
urday afternoon, from weeks encamp-
ment with the militia at Sea Girt. He
was member of Company E, of Mount
Holly. He was a son of Daniel Eddie
man, and was in the SOth year of his
age. He is survived by son, years of
age.
His funeral will take place this after
noon from his parents residence. He
will be buried with military honors.
