IN OFFICE
AND OUT

The drivel that J. Ward Richardson
Republican leader and newspaper
publisher is printing in the News and
has teeu printing ever since he was
lesisIated out of his useless office
surprises no one and his censure OF
the Republican legislature for tho
loss OF his job, is childish and lacks
sportamanship.
When Mr. Richardson dealt for the
appointment of Riparian Commission
er, he signed away his dignity and in
dependence, and the document to
Which his signature is appended would
astonish even those who have never
regarded his independence as of much
account. To any other man, even a
ward politician, that document which
Richardson signed to get his job
would be most humiliating.
When a Republican legislature
planned it's efficiency and economy
campaign, Richardson made pathetic
appeals to save the job that brought
to him a bit of easy money. When
pleadings availed nothing, Richardson
threatened and at one time he declared
his intention of turning his paper ov-
er to- the Democrats. Since then
Richardson has condemned the legis-
lature and praised the Democrats Tho
especial victim of Richardson's drivel
has been Senator Walter E. Edge, who
was the leader in the efficiency and
economy legislation. 1t is disgusting
and silly. Not one fair criticism does
he make. He simply complains that
he was deserving Republican and
"By Jove' it was heartless to take his
office from him. The fact that he was
re-appOinted to an office without sal
ary, has not softened the blow, for it
was the money he wanted and not
the opportunity for public service.
Senator Edge is being very gener-
ally congratulated for declining to
make any deals or promises to Mr..
Richardson, and the opposition of the
News will probably make many votes
for the Atlantic Senator.

HALEYVILLE
HOUSE BURNED

The dwelling of Howard Wills, Hal
eyville, was totally destroyed Monday
night. The family were awakened by
the noise of something falling, and
when Mr.. Wills managed to get down
stairs he found a bright blaze in the
kitchen and the entire lower floor of
the house was thick with smoke. Mr..
Willis narrowly escaped suffocation
as he fought the fire.
The flames in the kitchen were sub
dued finally, but the fire broke
through the roof and the house was
doomed.
Neighbors fastened to the assis-
tance of the Wills family and the
household effects, with the exception
of those in one room, were saved.
There was some insurance carried
upon the property.

TRYING TO KEEP COOL

People in numbers availed them
selves of Morningside Park yesterday
in an effort to keep cool.
To see them sitting in the shade
and looking at the uowing Cohansey
reminded one of the Tong row of will
low trees which used to be along the
old dam, where Grove St. and the
Crew-Levick tanks are now located;
where people used to sit and enjoy
the cool breezes.
Morningside Park is a beauty spot
on hot day. There is shade, cozy
seats, bubbling drinking fountains
and now and then a Whit Of cool
breeze comes along. Scores of people
were there yesterday afternoon.

BUCBEE
SAYS VICTORY

The political campaign is gradually
getting into full swing and with the
state primaries only a little more
than month off and a national and
state ticket to elect, interest has been
revived in matters political earlier
than usual This year the voters of
New Jersey will vote for a president,
a United States senator, twelve con-
gressmen, a governor, seven State
senators, sixty assemblymen and the
usual county and local officers.
Republican State Chairman Newton
A. K. Bugbee is confident of a sweep
ing Republican victory. 4. In state
ment to Trenton State Gazette re-
porter he said:
Reports from the various counties
in New Jersey point unmistakably to
an Overwhelming majority for Hughes
and Fairbanks in November, together
with the election of the entire Re-
pa.iican ticket
Republican sentiment has been
growing constantly and surely during
the last few years and is growing
stronger every day. With here and
there an isolated exception, the Pro-
gressives of 1912 are all back in the
Republican party, and with harmony
prevailing there can be only one re-
sult-Republican victory.
''The voters of New Jersey are go
Ing about the work of restoring a Re-
publican administration with grim de-
termination. They have had enough
OF the wobbling inefficiency of the
present national administration. They
want firm, definite, respectcom-
manding government and they know
that Hughes is the man who, as chief
executive, can give it to them.
1T is early to talk about majorities
in figures, but the Hughes sentiment
is so remarkable predominatng that
/ feel certain that New Jersey will
roll UP vote for the Republican
ticket that will exceed the ballots cast
for the Democratic candidates by from
10000 to $4,000 We were never more
thoroughly organized nor more thor
oughly prepared for a campaign.
"New Jersey is Republican state
and the party has never been more
completely satisfied with a presiden-
tial candidate than it is with Charles
V. Hughes"

FARMERS
HELD TUBERS
$3.50 Offered but no Sales
Made.
Then PRICE UP
All Potatoes Were Selling at
$500 up to S3.O5 During
the Day.

Ihree carloads of potatoes went
cat from the Greenwich station ves-
terday. and the price held up good
all day, running from $3.50 to s295
and So per barrel, closing last night
at $2.95.
The price took a drop at West
Bridgeton shipping station during the
day, and fell to $3.50 offered per bar
rel. -,
During the early buying the price
went as high as $3.05, but the hot sun
had an effect On the tubers and buy
ers were made timid on account Of
what was termed "sun scald'', fear
ing the effect would be felt in the
market.
Farmers were not disposed to ac-
cept the offer of $3.50, but insisted on
a higher price; the price showed
some decline, and farmers were
compelled to accept and sell at the
decline. They held on until the Of
fers reached $3.50, at which most of
the sales were finally made.
There was a big rush of tubers
coming in as shown by the fact that
"a car loads went out from that point
West Bridgeton-last night.

CERTIFICATES
FOR CHILDREN
PhysiCia MS Certificate
Not Necessary.
IS SIMPLE
State Board Says There Should
Be No Expense for the Ger
tificateS.

Trenton, August 21.-The State De-
partment of Health expects that as
soon as the use of the certificate now
required of all children under 16
years Of age when travelling is fully
understood, much of the inconven.-
ence incident to the Inauguration of
the new system will be obviated. 1t is
pointed out that the certificate does
not require a medical examination or
a physicians certificate.
Two blanks forms are supplied
without cost by the State Department
OF Health to local health officials. One
form IS to be used for a child who is
not known to have been exposed to
infantile paralysis, and the other for
a child who has been exposed or has
recovered from an attack of the dis
case and has been discharged from
observation or quarantine by the To-
cal health officials. Instructions to
both health officials and the public
for filling out and using the certlfi-
Gates are printed on the back of the
forms now supplied. These instruc-
tlons summarize the points that peo-
pie need to know about the certif-
Gates substantially as follows:
The person making application for
certificate must sign his name here
to and affiX his address.
The Official issuing the certificate
must sign his name thereto and affix
his Official title.
No certificate issued by physician
will he accepted unless such physi-
clan s an official of q local board OF
health and his official title is affixed
Each certificate should bear the
date and hour when it was issued. Ev-
cry certificate is void that has been
issued longer than "a hours in excess
Of the time necessary to travel from
the place at which it was issued to
the place where it is presented.
Each certificate must be presented
for inspection to the local board of
health or its duly authorized agent
as soon as the person to whom it re-
fers arrives in the municipality where
said person intends to stop but the
certificate should be retained by the
person to whom it refers.
Every child under 16 who goes from
one municipality to another without a
certificate is subject to quarantine for
two weeks, and the parent or custod-
ian IS liable to a penalty.
Any child under 16 holding a certi-
ficate may return to the municipality
where such certificate was issued
with "a hours of the date and hour of
issuance of said certificate.
A physicians certificate is not need
ed in order that local health official
may issue the certificate required by
the regulations.
Inasmuch as the certificate is is
sued by a local health official for the
protection of the public health, no fee
for issuing it should be eXacted.

Artificial Blood, Latest q
Achievement Of Science,
Invented by an American

Making artificial blood is the latest
achievement of science. DR.. James j.
Hogan of San Francisco has invented
a fluid that may be introduced into the
veins in the place Of real blood In
TRANSMISSION operations.
The solution consists of purest gela-
tin combined with sodium Chord and
distilled water. The resultant liquid
solidifies and is placed in glass tubes
until needed.
When introduced into the blood yes
sells It will remain there as long as
necessary and as nature manufactures
new blood II slowly disappears.
In the hundreds of cases where the
Hogan solution has been used no In
furious effect has resulted.
Doctor Hogan went abroad when he
received direct invitation from the
German government, In order to try
his method. He not only demonstrated
his new discovery in the hospitals of
Germany and England, but taught the
military surgeons of those countries
how to prepare It.

Mirrors Scarce in Japan.

1t is only within a comparatively
short time that the Japanese have
known glass as Credentials know 1t.
When the first railways were built
passengers in the coaches often put
their heads through the glass, suppos-
ing the frames of the windows to be
empty. and the railway companies at
length pasted pictures on the glass to
call attention to the fact that solid
substance was behind them.
The masses Of the Japanese today do
not know the mirror as ii is known In
the West. The richer people have one
mirror. indeed, but usually the glass
used in the mirrors sold to the popu-
lace is not quick-silvered, being merely
well polished. As for cut glass. 1t is
practically unknown In Japan. and
glass drinking cups are rare.

"Annie Laurie" of Famous
Old Song Was a Real Person

Few of us ever think of the "Annie
Laurie" of the famous old song as a
real person. But she was girl who
lived In Dumfries, Scotland, which is
near Maxwelton. She was born about
1882, and when she died she was buried
in Dunscort churchyard.
This real Annie Laurie had sweet
heart, Mr.. Douglas, who wrote a song
about her. The words Of the song he
wrote were not as beautiful as those
we think Of In connection with her.
The song with which we are familiar
was written from Douglas song about
20 years ago by Lady Jean Scott, a
member Of one of the great families
In Great Britain.
In one of the institutions In Dunn
fries today there is the last will and
testament" Of Annie Laurie. And the
churchyard where she Is buried Is
often spoken of by Carlyle in his
letters. for he was Of that same neigh
borhood.

Microscope Greatest Instrument
for the Saving Of Human Life
BY DR.. SAMUEL q. DIXON
Commissioner Of Health Of PennsyIvanja.

No single invention has made possis
BILE greater saving of human life than
the microscope. Its origin dates back
to antiquity. There is every reason
to believe that the ancients had some
knowledge Of the use of the single
lens. The compound microscope was
probably invented shortly after the
middle ages. The Italians and the
Dutch both claim tho discovery.
These ancient microscopes were very
crude instruments compared with those
Of today. They were, however. suffi-
GENTLY powerful to reveal myriads OF
living things In the clear atmosphere as
well as in clear tumbler of water, but
they left us to imagine great unseen
living world heyond the power of the In
strument, and that is even so today
with our most improved microscopes.
In the hands of scientists the mi
croscope has revealed from time to
time a teeming life of bacteria every
where present. Some Of these minute
organisms are the friends and some
the deadly foes of man. Vegetable,
and indirectly animal life, depends
upon their work.
Typhoid fever, tuberculosis, typhus
fever, tetanus, and other diseases are
the result of certain of these bacteria
which can only be seen by the aid of
the microscope. There is evidence,
but as yet no positive proof, that they
are responsible for many other dis
eases. the etiology of which is yet
unknown.
An army of scientific workers is to-
day occupied In the study Of bacte-
riology for the purpose of discovering
the organisms that produce the differ
ent diseases, and then to push on with
the idea of discovering that which
would produce immunity or cure. This
work Is vital to the welfare of hui
mainly
There is constant warfare between
these little single-celled organisms and
man. The bacteria have the advan.

IcHTHYoL SUPPLY ASSURED
Source Of Material In Austrian Tyrob
Cut of by War, but American
Genius Finds q Substitute.

Breathe easy once again. You won't
have to go without your ichthyol, even
though the European war has cut or
the usual source of supply. But, pos
sibly, you haven't noticed the short
age in ichthyol, or maybe, again, you
don't know whether ichthyol is some
thing to eat or something to wear.
Ichthyol is an asphaltic material
which is employed as an antiseptic
medicament. Before the war it was
imported from Europe. 1t is derived
from bituminous rock, filed with
fossil fish, that is found in the Aus
TRAN Tyrol. American Imports had in
creased from 24.O00 pounds in 1910 to
10000 pounds in 1914, but dropped on
in 1915 to less than 25O00 pounds.
It looked as If the war would de-
prive the United States Ct this mate
rial. but prompted by necessity. Amer
lean genius has. in this case, as In
many others, found something 'just as
good"
So far as known, there are in the
United States no deposits Of asphaltic
material Of the peculiar type from
which ichthyol is derived but Ameri-
can chemists have solved the problem
of supplying the domestic needs in this
regard. and favorably recommended
substitutes for ichthyol, prepared from
domestic materials by synthetic meth
DDS, are now available in the markets.
