more fit than at the height of the
war He was not frittering away
his strength in trying to keep pace
with the frivolous fringe of Presi-
Dental life, and it may be said that
he left for the Conference of Yer
sailles in better physical condition
than he left Princeton to enter the
White House.
What pulled Mr.. Wilson down was
the social pace which was set up
for him especially in Paris, added to
the increasing mental irritation
caused by his totally new experience
of dealing with supposedly response
BILE statesmen whose word did not
keep good overnight.
The attempt at Woodrow Wilson's
age to adjust the mind to wholly
uncertain world of moral concepts
is bound to be debilitating, and had
he acted on his last strong uprush
of American independence and TAX
en- the ship home the day he threat
ened to do so, the history of the past
six years might have been vastly diff
ferent. 1t was not the Presidency
that killed Wilson. 1t was the use
less frills and insincerity of Euro
pean diplomacy.
Still, happiness should not be a
stranger to the White House
There's a mans work there, and
where there's a man to do it, that
should spell satisfaction.

straddles between six or seven i'm

Why Not i'm the White House?

Il never knew a President who
was happy after he got into the
White House." says former Vice
President Marshall.
1t all depends on what he means
by happiness, and what Presidents
he has known.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he had enjoy
ed a 'bully time" during his Presi-
dency, but doubtless it took out of
him more than he would ever admit.
Mr.. Taft probably had an un-
pleasant enough time of it, because
Mr. Taft was so seldom master of
the job, so constantly at the mercy
of advisors, and so unluckily doing
the wrong things.
Mr.. Wilson, physically weaker
than all the recent Presidents, rose
to the weighty duties which came
with the war, and by wise manage
ment of his time and economy of eff
fort, got through an amount of
work which made even Rooseyelt's
most strenuous days look rather
leisurely. Mr.. Wilson was never

Sloru Poisons in Tea
When Improperly Made

A slow and deadly poison can result
from the incorrect brewing Of tea,
whereas, it is q harmless and pleasant
beverage if certain rules are adhered
to, explains scientist in the Baltimore
Sun.
Its stimulating effects are due to the
presence in tea leaves of q powerful
drug called theme. If the pot Is not
allowed to stand too long, only small
quantity of this substance is dissolved
out of the leaves by the hot water, and
the tea refreshes us without doing any
harm. When the teapot Is allowed to
remain for hours on the stove, an ex-
cessive quantity Of theme is extracted
from the leaves, together with larger
amount of another semipoisonous sub
stance known as tannln.
These two together form real pol
son, affecting the nerves. the digestion
and the general health. Stewed tea is
almost as harmful as opium or cocaine.
The habit Of taking it In this way is
soon formed, and the tea drunkard
thinks nothing Of consuming 20 or 30
ezpeassaay.

Killed at
ManasQuan

Winfield S. Stryker GA, of MARI
boro, employed by Stryker & Stryker,
Contractors of Red Bank, was almost
instantly killed by Pennsylvania
train at Stockton Lake avenue grade
crossing over the New York and
Long Branch railroad Manasquan
about noon Friday.
Stryker was in charge of his en-
ployers work at the state camp
grounds at Sea Girt, where prepare
tions are being made to transfer the
state arsenal from Trenton. He was
within 500 yards Of the job when he
met death. Stryker was headed east
ward on Stockton Lake avenue dry
ing q Ford coupe. According to an
employe of the firm he had been to
nearby lumber yard to get lumber
to repair wagon. 1t was stated he
stopped at the crossing to wait for a
sonthbound train to pass and then
started up, apparently not seeing the
Penn ylvania train approaching from
the south. The enp1oye said that
another employee, driving team, was
near Mr.. Stryker's car and shouted for
him to stop. Stryker, the employee
stated, was slightly deaf. and apparently
did not hear the warning.
Stryker' car was struck with terrific
force, and was carried about 80 feet
by the locomotive. An almost total
wreck, it was removed to the westerly
side of the railroad tracks, where hun
dreds Of passersby viewed it. some Of
them assembling at the scene
of the tragedy until late Friday
night.
Stryker was taken to the Ann May
hospi al at Spring Lake, but, according
to a physic an at the hospital, was
dead when he arrived. The doctor
stated crushed skull had caused his
death.
The Stryker accident is the second
in which employees at work on the
Camp Silzer men have been struck by
a train. A few weeks ago Walter Brown
OF South Eatontown. teamster was
painfully injured when east
bound train on the Pennsylvania road,
a block west of where Stryker was
killed, struck his wagon. There was
fiagman on duty at the time,
but, it was said, he was neg
| gent.
Strykeris survived by a wife and
son, DR.. Lester H. Stryker of Red
Bank. Funeral services were held at
the Marlboro home Monday after
noon at 3. Interment was made In
the cemetery at Old Brick church,
Bradeyelt.

Salesman Had Answer
for Silly Old Saying

salesman In an Iowa town called
on storekeeper who had an old
fashioned store in a splendid location
The salesman was Of the creative type
and was urging the storekeeper to
change his methods, and TO adopt new
selling ideas.
The reply Of the storekeeper was:
"Oh, these old methods we're good
enough for my dad, and guess they're
good enough for me-"
The salesman answered, and he
could make this answer because Of his
experience and familiarity with the
situation: "Your dad, when he es-
tablished this store, was the most
progressive merchant Of his time
that's why he won success. If he had
been content with the methods of your
grandfather he would never have es-
tablished any business at all. Your
dad, and l knew him well, never re-
fused to consider new ideas; he adopt
ed the things that had proved success
full with other merchants. If he were
alive today he would be the first one
to recognize that the community your
store is serving is greatly changed,
and that new methods must be adopted
to take advantage of new conditions"

Famed Navigator Gaze
Name to Mont Royal

In the late summer of 1886,
Jacques Cartier, hardy, skilled nav
igator of st. Malo, France, sailed up
the st. Lawrence river and reached
the island standing at the junction OF
the st. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers.
On this island he found race of In
dams in a palisaded town of about
1900 inhabitants, and living by rude
agriculture and fishing. This place
was called Hochelaga On the day
following his arrival at the island,
Cartier, with a Few companions and
twenty mariners, left his boats and,
conducted by three natives, visited
the town, which stood on rising ground
about half a mile from the river at
about what is now the center of the
city of Montreal. Cartier saw on all
sides large and fairly well-tilled fields
in which were growing abundant crops
of maize or Indian corn. The town
was fortified, and it contained about
80 houses made of wood and bark.
From the town the visitors were con-
Quoted to the top of the mountain
which rose to the west Of the town
"We named that mountain Mont
Royal" wrote Cartier, In his account
of his travels. 'STherefrom one sees
very far"
The name "Mont Royal" with slight
corruption gives us the name of to-
day, Montreal. The old name, Hoche-
laga, is preserved in the name of one
of the wards of the city.

Cement Block Suit

Judgment for $1O6.Ss was given by
Justice of the Peace Fred Winters to
Robert Connolly, mason of Belmar,
in his suit against Rev. A. M. Strahorn
of Philadelphia and South Belmar last
Thursday. Connolly sought $175 in his
action against the clergyman, but
claimed the true bill owed was
$153.20.
The suit represented bill which
Connolly alleged Rev. Strahorn owed
him for cement building blocks. The
clergyman claimed, thru his counsel
Gilbert HI. VanNote of Spring Lake,
that he had used but SOL .82 worth Of
the blocks, for which he had sent the
plaintiff check but Connolly re-
turned the check. Connolly convinced
Justice Winters that blocks valued
at $101.S8 had been used. Connolly
was allowed So for carting the blocks,
and costs amounting to $3.50 also were
charged to Rev. Strahorn.
