sey real estate operators who have
been charged with improper con-
duct in dealing with the public have
been summoned by the New Jersey
Real Estate Commission to appear
at Jersey City Wednesday for the
purpose of explaining their actions
and replying to the complaint which
the commission has received against
them. The meeting will be held in
the First National Bank Building in
the First District Court Room and
testimony will be taken On both sides
in each dispute. In the event the
defendants are found guilty they
stanad in jeopardy o. losing their Ii
censes to engage in the real estate
business in New Jersey. The coun-
ties to be included within the scope
of this hearing are Bergen, Essex,
Hudson, Union, Morris, Passaic, Sus-
sex and Warren.
The complaints involve various
forms of improper conduct and
methods, including misrepresenta-
tion. bad faith, unethical dealing be-
tween realty agents and failure to
return honey due clients.
A New York realty company
which has been selling property in
Union county on the lone Hun
bred Dollars Starts Your Home"
basis has been summoned to answer
the charge of a Woman living in
Brooklyn that she has been COM
PEELED to go to court to get her
money back from the concern after
it had not lived up to it's contract.
A Newark agent failed to return
$500 he had received from a client
to use as a deposit on the purchase
of a nropertv. The charge is the he
had to be coerced with legal pro-
ceedings before he would make resti-
tuition after the plan to purchase
was dropped. 1t is charged that this
man is not worthy of the confidence
of the State of New Jersey and that,
therefore, his license should be re-
voked.
A woman living in Crawford,
Union county must answer the
charge that she has been acting as
a broker in this state without a state
| license as the law requires. The
| complaint says she accepted a COM
| mission of 500 for the sale of a
| property which she negotiated. The
charge is made by n of the COM
| missions investigators. A similar
case involving a Weehawken man in
| Hudson county will be considered
at the Jersey City meeting.
Failing to properly divide commits
| sions on the sale of property is the
| t.asis of another accusation lodged
| with the Real Estate Commission
| against a Jersey City firm of realty
| partners. The names of the various
defendants were not made public by
the commission today. but the We'd
| nesday hearing will be open to all
who desire to attend.

MORE OR LESS"
MEANS MUCH IN
SALE OF LAND

ATLANTA, Ga.-The words
emore or less" in a description Of
land have n great deal to do with
determining whether the property
was sold by the tract or by the acre,
according TO the Georgia Supreme
Court in reversing the case Of w.
w. Roberts, Jr., against Denmark
Grower and b. r. Strickland, APP
pealed from Brooks County.
According to the record Roberts
bought two tracts Of land from the
defendants, paying them $1,000 and
executing notes for $13,22O. He
asked for a refund Of his money and
cancellation Of the notes on the
grounds that there were only APO
acres of land on one tract, sold as
Asa acres, and that there were other
Misrepresentation. The Brooks
Superior Court dismissed the case
on the grounds that the land was
sold by the tract
The Supreme Court ruled that
the land was sold by the acre, the
deed calling for 454.25 acres, which
the defendants were unable to de-
liver, and that the deed did not say
more or less"

Mr.. Arthur Brisbane in his To-day"
column in the Atlanta Georgian a few
weeks ago said:
"A scientist declares that proven
tive medicine, within 30 years, will
add II years to the average Ameri-
can life, raising the average from So
to SO. Do you realize how that would
increase wealth and efficiency? For
man taught and trained the years
from SIS to SO should be life's best
Adding II years to the average life
would add fourteen hundred million
years of mature human effort to ev.
cry generation. What would that be
worth to the nation? What would it
be worth to a railroad if it could add
fourteen years to the life of every
locomotives"
What Mr. Brisbane says, in our opin-
ion is true; it is quite possible. The
only thing that stands in the way is
sufficient money put In the hands Of

Feeding The SCHOOL,
If Your Child Is Restless and
Irritable II Needs Something.
Possibly Change of Food

A healthy, normal, properly trained
child will eat heartily OF plain food
set before him three times a day. II
the right kind OF food Is prepared
properly and served regularly and he
is not permitted to eat between meals,
the average child will remain well, he
will have a happy, cheerful disposi
tion, and will develop normally, ply
slcally and mentally.
The child who Is underweluht and
poorly nourished is not getting enough
food material or it is not properly
prepared; or the diet does not con
tain sufficient body building mater
falls, such as milk, meat, and green
vegetables. Perhaps there is too
much starch and sweet. In occasional
instances the underweight child is
overfed
The child who is overweight &c

food especially of the sugars and
starches and perhaps too little exer-
GloGs Al III luulllOh W LllC ONGl WI liz
he Is soft and white, there is also a
deficiency of the bone and muscle
building material in his diet. This
child needs an abundance OF green
vegetables, fresh fruit, lean meat,
with a very small quantity of bread,
potatoes and other starchy foods, and
little or no sugar or fat
The child who refuses PLAIN, sub
stantia food and demands sweets and
fancy food is the victim of improper
habits of feeding him. Such child
should be refused all sweets, given
no food of any sort between meals
and only plain food given him at meal
lime. If he refuses let him go hungry
until the next meal time.
The child who demands food be.
tween meals may be suffering from
Indigestion, from too much food, or
ne may be actually needing food. In
either event slice Of plain dry bread
or toast will relieve the discomfort
and will not encourage the habit of
piecing. A glass Of milk may he
given with the bread to the child who
is underweight
The child who is restless at night,
who grinds his teeth in his sleep, or
who is peevish as a result of the loss
of sleep is suffering from intestinal
indigestion due to improper food and
bad habits Of eating. This child
should be put on severity plain diet
restricted to the simplest and most
easily digested foods; the evening
meal limited to semi-liquid foods,
custards, bread and milk, and the
bowels given special attention. If
the difficulty is not overcome this
child should be taken to a physician,
as he may have an ailment needing
medical attention.
The child who is cross and irritable,
lazy, lstIess, nervous or hateful needs
change Of diet, or he is sick and
needs the attention of a physician.
Instead of Furnishing this child find
out what it is that is wrong with
him. The proper food and regular
habits will work wonders with
child's tendency to bad temper Not
only the health, the weight, the ply
steal and mental developments of
children (and adults), but the dispose.
ton depends greatly on how and what
they are fed.

and therefore 1t Is
good? That Is not enough. They can
rightfully tell us that, even though a
system may minister to our physical
well-being, II 1t stunts us morally, II
It does not positively make US better
ethically, 1t Is an inadequate system.
The general answer to this asser-
ton is obvious. The very fact that
our industry, commerce and finance
serve us so IMPLY with the materials
and means for physical well-being
gives us the opportunity to build and
support our churches, to foster the
arts, to develop our great educational
systemic be kind to one another.
But need we deal In generalities?
Do we not find In the direct effect Of
our business upon the individual
much to improve his ethical stand
ards? To tougher his moral fiber?
Is 1t not good for the personal char
acter of the race to do business as
we are now doing it?
Let us take the business Of bank
ing, for example Is 1t mere mech.
anism or Is 1t vital moral force?
Does 1t do more than, by facilitating
production, raise the physical stand
ard of living, or is there anything
inherent in the manner and methods
of banking that raises the moral
standard OF living as we'll?
Einetenths of our business 10 done
by means of credit. The great bulk
of that credit Is obtained from the
banks. 1t is obtained from the banks
because men have character,-b
cause they are honest, because they
keep faith,--because they can be
trusted.
If they did not have these qualities
they could not do business with
credit, they could not do business at
the banks. We say banks deal in
credit. That is but way of saying
they deal in honor and honesty. They
build the business structure with the
faith OF man in man.
The part banking plays in our bust
ness life is growing. That means
that the faith OF men in each other
is growing. The more men who come
to the banks with characters that en-.
title them to credit.-the more men
who realize that to gain credit at the
banks, they must possess themselves
with characters that win them I'M
questioned trust, the higher becomes
the ethical standards of the nation.
Is not this great moral service
that banking renders? 1t is greater
justification for our present financial
system than even its wonderful eff
cheney in providing us with the ma
terial things of life. No greater serv-
ice could be rendered the nation.

ISIT TUDERCULOSIS?F
NOT EVERY Time!
Many Cases SO-Called Get Wen
Quickly From a Few Doses
of Medicine

Not long ago a nurse of long ex'
Uerience asked one of our physicians
tb,a question: Doctor, is syphilis the
cause of tuberculosis or Is syphihs
brought on by tuberculosis? Neltner
has anything to do with the oIner'
but It is quite frequent that ms
take in diagnosis is made by our pest
ubvsicians. and one with syphilis OF
long standing is told that he mas tu'
berculosfs. The lung conditions are
indeed very similar we are TOLD Inc
uurse referred to above Is one VINO
hns had a great deal of experience ID
nursing and visiting tuberculosis
cases. She had seen so many Oh them
get well as IL by magic when they
were given few doses OF arsphehaIi
ine that she began to question the
cause of a great many OF the cases
II is true that one who has syphlilS
,s lixoly to take on or contract tuDer'
culosis because any debilllatlhg ulS

In other words, one below par Is very
liable to take a disease like tuDercu

nation would not be complete ana
full unless 1t included a Wassermahn
blood test The State Board OF Heaith
furnishes the tubes for taking TINS
blood. and makes the test free Oh
charge. We have many innocent IN
fections Of syphilis, in fact 10 per
cent OF our marriages involve syphii-
itic. and the disease Is communicates
from mother to child. This Is not
true of tuberculosis. About II per
cent of all our syphilis is accidentally
contracted. This disease, as wen as
its companion, gonorrhea, should De
regarded by everyone as an infectious
or contagious disease, just as typhoid,
smallpox, measles, etc. Syphilis OF
the lung Is not rare disease Wy any
means. but is common enough to be
found in many of our people 1t must
also be remembered that OF all the
communicable diseases reported 10
the State Board, including tubercu,
losls and SO others, that the Veneral
diseases are 20 to % per cent OF the
whole.
II you or your friend has symptoms
of tuberculosis. do not be satlsfieo
until a blood test is made for syphllis.
The initial sore of syphilis often es
capes attention; 1t may occur any
where, and very often is not detected

Safety first is always a good RUE IN
making a diagnosis, and II 1t is
syphilis the remedy applied early wlll
