morning. Miss fanny told her that
Mr.. Kupfer might come down in hia

Mrs. Hendrickson stated that after
supper she amused herself at the

some time with a little girl and then
disappeared. When Miss fanny re-
turned, Mrs. Hendrickson stated. she
was accompanied by Kupfer who had

he was going to get to bed early.

that Kupfer was not driving
the car at that time but that the
wheel was in the hands of an inex-

During the past night, General
Humbert's men reached the Divette
river for a long distance west of this
continent with the Oise. South of
Noyon the army commanded by Gen.
eral Mangin holds the south bank of
the Disc from Sempigny to Bretigny
a distance of over six miles. At Sem

from Noyon.

the French have reached the outskirts

German forces in the sector south
of Noyon and along the Oise are said
by the French official report to be
"retreating" which may account for
the rapid progress OF General Man

contact with the enemy is being main

British troops attacked the Ger
mans along the line between the
Somme and Ancre river at 4:45 this
morning. This may be considered a
continuation of the attack north of
the Ancre at dawn yesterday. The
front of the latest attack is about fiye
miles long. No details of progress
made there have been learned as yet.
North of Ancre the British have
advanced despite enemy resistance

WATER BOARD WILL
RAISE WATER RATES

The Board OF Water Commissioners
at its regular meeting last night took
steps 10 increase the water rates In
this city, a motion being unanimously
passed instructing Superintendent
samuel ] Mason 20 draft an ordinance
and present II at the next meeting OF
the board increasing water and meter
charges OF those purchasing water
from the Perth Amboy water works.
The board has long been discussing
such action but matters did not come
10 a head until last night, when
Commissioner ChfFles ID. Snedeker
made the motion calling for the In
crease. The water board, in spite Of
the increase IN cost OF material and
labor during the past year or so. has
not Increased Its rates and as result
has not been able 70 10 any more
than meet the bills which come be-
fore II at every meeting.
The funds OF the water department
have been boosted considerably thus
far this year as the result OF the col
lection OF water rents OF those who
have BEEN In arrears but even with
this increase the board has not been
able TO more than meet expenses. The
arrears have been almost cleard up.
thus doing away with this source OF
income.
The board feels that II is justified
IN increasing the rates at this time
as the price OF coal has about doubled
and labor is from thirty 20 forty cents
more than II was year ago. The
rates now charged by the Perth Am
boy company are said to be low as
com mpared with those In other sections
OF the state. the minimum rats

present time being seven cents. the
next rate ten cents and the high rate
thirteen and . third cents. Just what

city's reservoir site. Upon receipt of
the report the board considered that
Mr.. Johnson had completed his work

As Important features Of its sup
Elementary program for feeding the
nation, its armies, and the allies, the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture recommends that great attention
be paid to the production OF beans,
peas. and peanuts. On these subjects
the program states
THE production of beans and peas
should be increased in regions to
which they are adopted, because OF
their high food value, keeping quail
ties, and availability for domestic or
export trade.
Soy beans and peanuts should be
increased in order to supplement
beans and peas as human food, as
source of much-needed oil, and as an
imal feeds.
1.-THE production of beans last year
in the six leading States increased
from 1O,715,000 bushels to 15,7O1,-
OOe bushels, and peanuts from 3D.
324,5 bushels to 6O,222, 900 Dush-
els. But these increases proved to
be greatly needed, and there is every
indication that large increases will
be readily absorbed in 1918.
THE peanut is especially valua-
BILE because of the oil it contains,
for which the need is great. In the
South, especially, soy beans and pea
nut meal are proving very satisfac-
tory as partial substitutes for wheat.
Both soy beans and peanuts are of
great value as forage crops"

A Successful Worm Remedy.

A remedy for worms in chickens
that a Massachusetts poultry raiser
found very successful according TO
his letter to the u. S. Department o.
Agriculture, follows:
"Give the chickens no FOOD OF
water for "a hours before treating;
then feed them half the usual amount
of ground feed, in which has been
mixed finely chopped tobacco stems
soaked for two hours in all the water
they will absorb. One pound OF to-
b,eco stems weighed before soak
ipr) is sufficient for 100 birds. Two
hours after the chickens have eaten
the medicated mash, give them one
fourth of the usual ration OF ground
feed mixed with water in when
Epsom salt has been dissolved, using
II ounces of EPSON salt for 100
birds.
ITO reduce the chances OF further
infection all manure and loose dirt
should be removed from the chicken
ward. and the pens and roosts thor
oughly scalded and cleaned with hot
water"
