To Absorb Freckles

New Street Cars

The Salem G. Penns Grove Traction
Company has purchased six new-pat-
tern cars for their line to take the
place of those recently sold.
The ears have several new features
and improvements yer the old ones.
They are a trifle smaller and run on
two trucks instead of four They
weigh about 712 tons. Those now in
use weigh II tons each. The seating
capacity is "a passengers. The pres
emit cars seat SO.
Brooklyn has 200 of the same pat
tern, Boston 200, Trenton and vicinity
10 and Philadelphia 25. They can be
operated equally as well by one mar
as with two it is claimed.
The safety features are of more than
ordinary interest. The doors are clos
ed and they cannot be opened un-
til the a to a stop. If the
motorman takes his hand from the
controller either Intentionally or unin-
tentionally the brakes are automatic
ally applied; the rail is sanded and the
power is automatically cut off from the
car and TIE car viii come to a stop
more quickly than is possible to bring
it to a stop by human endeavor.
The cars are now being put in run
ming order and will be placed in opera
ion over the road early next week.
They are painted yellow.
When the cars are installed it is the
intention of the company to give more
frequent service and they believe the
new cars will meet with the approval
of the public the same as they have in
every city in which they have been in
troduced.

Better Lords Day Observance

Next Sunday, 18th, will be the be-
ginning of the week of prayer for a
better observance of the Lords Day.
All ministers are requested to preach
on Sabbath Observance and to have it
the topic of mid-week Prayer Meet
ings, and all meetings during the
week. All Christians everywhere are
urged to observe, pray and work to
maintain the Christian Sabbath.
Before Emperor Constantine adopt
ed Christianity laborers did not have
one rest day in seven. Christianity
preached in the Churches gave it and
it should be appreciated today by all
laborers.
The modern Pagans like the ancients
wish others to labor on the Sabbath in
order that they may be amused and
entertained like children. st. Paul
told the Corinthians q Corinthians
13:11) "When | was a child, | spake
as a child, l thought as a child; but
when l became a man, l put away
childish things"
May we cultivate the knowledge of
Christian manhood, support the Church
and Christian teachings which gives us
rest and freedom from worldly bond
age on the Lords Day-County Super
intendent of Sabbath Observance. w

NOTE-The service on Easter Sunday
evening at the First Baptist Church
will be long remembered. The program

Lord of Life" was very well rendered.
Following that a Missionary Pageant
was impressively given by the young
ladies of the church, led by Mrs. Fred
Peters. 1t was a startling appeal to
send out more medical missionaries 1t
was splendidly produced in costume;
All executed their parts superbly, ana
Mrs. Peters appeal was extremely
touching, bringing tears to many eyes.
After the pageant the great Easter
evening was appropriately closed by a
baptism, when several believers were
buried and raised again in the likeness
OF Christ's death and resurrection.
The Church was filled to capacity.

Where Lime Comes In

Lime should never be used in direct
contact because it has a tendency to
liberate the nitrogen in the manure
quickly, and thus weaken the results.
Practically all garden soil needs lime,
however, and would be benefited by
its use, but the right time to apply it
is after the manure has been plowed
under. Broadcast one pound of ny
drafted lime to every 25 square feet of
garden surface and rake it into the
surface soil.
