alIoWaDle. SalJ and especially pepper
should not be used in too great amount,
and highly seasoned sauces and
| pickles, coffee and tea should be ex-
cluded from all diet lists of children
under IA years of age and it would not
be bad idea to throw the frying pan
out of the back door. Ice cream, cake.
pie, the various desserts and pastries,
pure candies and nuts, are of course,
allowable in reasonable quantities and
at the proper time, but bedtime is not
the proper time.
DR.. Longsdorf next took mp the NOR
al side of the scholars life. He refer
red to the war now going on across the
sea and asked who could say that the
result would not be for the betterment
of the human race. He believed that
most children are horn mischeyous
but not necessarily bad. Most of the
sex evil arises from curiosity. Most
people consider this subject toodelicate
to safely handle, but no greater mis-
take could be made. Children are al
lowed to grow up and gain knowledge
of creation through obscene stories told
by equally unfortunate children. The
doctor thought this subject would
eventually be handled in satisfactory
manner. In closing, he said: ''Have
you ever stopped to think that great
share of the suffering of the world has
probably been due to neglect, or ignor-
ance, or false modesty, and that there
are unborn generations of children who
most surely will suffer as the result of
the sins of their fathers | hope l
have given you something to think
about in this little paper"
DIR. Longsdorf was given vote of
thanks for the very exhaustive treatise
on subjects in which all are interested.
Court Affairs.
Judge Lippincott held his Thursday
session of court, and attended to some
orphans court matters.
On motion of Norman Harker
nonsuit was granted in the case of l..
l.. Gratz against Elwood G. Woodward.
s. A. Atkinson represented the former
Mr.. Harker argued that the case had
not been moved in the proper time and
he wanted the plaintiff to pay the
costs, but the court would not allow
that motion to prevail.
William Wescott pleaded not guilty
to an indictment charging him with
DESERVING his family and the case was
ldAQ over uuIll i uuTSQdV.
Louisa Becker, who pleaded not
guilty on waiver of Indictment, was
next brought forward. Louisa was in |
jail in the same corridor with Bessie
Cole. She went out just before Christ
mas and Bessie gave her SIS to buy
some articles with the injunction to
be sure to return the change. Louisa
did not bring the articles or the cash,
but she went back to the Jail drunk
and waiver of indictment was drawn
charging her with embezzlement.
When the case came up on Thursday
Henry ii. Savage, who represented the
woman, claimed that the waiver was
Improperly drawn and that the charge
should have been perversion of funds.
The court sustained the claim and
Louisa was allowed to depart.
Another case was to have been heard |
in which the witnesses live in Mer- |
chantville. The colored residents of |
that town have wholesome dread of |
Mount Holly, and only one of the wit |
nesses appeared. He was told to go to |
the jail to get his witness fee, but he |
said he was not in need of money. |
Clifford Powell, who was representing |
prosecutor Kelsey, said he could not 90 |

julius Mezenco, a justice of the |
peace at Roebling, was called before
the bar, and Judge Lippincott related |
that julius had been served with no
tice to bring papers to the court, but |
he had not obeyed the order. The
Judge wanted the justice to under
stand that an order of the court must |
be respected, and repetition would |
mean punishment for contempt. The
Justice said he did not know anything
about the order, that it was given to |
his wife, who did not tell him about it
and he found the papers under a blot
ter, but.too late to take notice then.
The court, however, called attention to
the fact that return had been made
showing that personal service was rem
dered. julius was allowed to depart
with distinct understanding of what
would happen if there was another
such occurrence.
Thomas Cunningham was placed on
trial for breaking, entering, and lar
ceny at the home of Harry Weeks, in
Roebling. The testimony was that
there was noise in the home of Mr..
Weeks on Thanksgiving night and
on going down stairs to investigate,
the owner found Cunningham lying on
the floor with Weeks overcoat for
pillow. The man had formerly board
ed at the Weeks house, but had left
there about four weeks before the time
of the breaking in. When the evidence
for the state was all in it seemed that
all that had been taken were a half
piece of pie, neither of
which were charged against the man,
and the only thing mentioned in the
indictment that seemed to have disap-
peated was postal card photograph
worth about eight cents. The verdict
was not guilty. Mr.. Savage defended
