If we could trace Dyspepsia to its
source, it would lead back to our kitch
ens. In fact, the secret of good health is
good cooking. If well cooked, foods are
partially digested; if poorly cooked, they
are less digestible than in their raw state.
If you are a victim of faulty cooking;
.that is, if you suffer from Dyspepsia, the
rational cure must be looked for in an
artificially digested food, and a food
'Which will at the same time aid the di
• gestion of other foods. Such a prepara
' tion virtually rests the tired digestive or
gans, thereby restoring them to their
. natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared by
• the-Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is just
- such.a preparation, and a single 10 cent
bottle will convince you of, its value. If
• your druggist doesn’t keep it, he will be
glad to get it through his wholesale house.

ANNUAL MEETING.
Little General Interest Taken In the Meet
ing of tills Once Aggressive and
Popular Organization.
In comparison with years past the an
nual meeting of the the Cumberland
County Agricultural and Horticultural
Society, last Wednesday, was a tame
affair.
As the older members can remember,
very often the attendance at these meet
ings testod the capacity of the Court
House. The debates were interesting,
aggresive legislation was enacted, while
the contest for election of officers was
spirited.
Yesterday a violent snow storm was
raging, and may have had an effect upon
the attendance, there being less than fifty
persons present, and the business was
. transacted in a sort of perfunctory man
ner.
The recent history of the Association
has not been that of a successf ul organiza
tion, and the general interest, once wide
spread, is now confined to a few people,
who are struggling to maintain the fair.
The business transacted yesterday was
of little importance, and the election oi
officers was without a struggle, excepting
in choosing members of the Executive
Committee, and the efi'ort expended in
this matter was in getting men to accept
tlie responsibility.
Stfiftifa J5. Elwell, President of the
Society failed ihe meeting to order, and
Secretary Smalley read the minutes ol
the previous sOhsiori. Of course these
minutes were correct, «nd were promptly
approved by the little gathering.
Treasurer Joseph H. Powell then ftt
| traded attention fora time in making
his annual report of the Society’s fi
I nances. It was not an encourageing re
I port, and the members appeared gloomy
as the figures were presented. The re
port showed that during the entire year
| llle whole amount of money that had
i passed through his hands was $13670,43,
I This included a loan and the money re
| ceived from the Cumberland Mutual Iu
: surance Company, $1200. The total
amount paid out was $6197,34. The
amount paid out would have been con
siderable more, but from the fact that the
employees and others holding bills
against the Society received but 85 per
cent, of the amount due them. Premium
winners were also noted as being paid
but 50 per cent. This, left a balance in
the Treasurer’s hands of $473,09, but very
few of the premiums have been paid,
and this money would go but a little way
toward relieving the organization from
its embarressing position.
Secretary Smalley then presented two
recommendations from the Executive
Committee. The first was that the So
ciety withdraw from the National Trot
ting Association. The second was that
five per cent, of the gross receipts be re
served to go upon the bonded debt.
The first recommendation was first
considered, a motion being made that the
recommendation be adopted.
Mr. Stathem of Hopewell, said that the
reason the Committee recommended the
withdraw from the Trotting Association,
was because the horsemen always got all
their money while other exhibitors re
ceived only a pro ratio. Mr. Stathem said
further that he was opposed to having
another horse race on the ground, as he
was satisfied that the trottiug did not pay,
Chas. E. Sheppard wanted to know the
advantage of leaving the Association.
Secretary Smalley said that while belong
ing to the Association the Society had an
opportunity of getting the entrance
money even if the horsemen did not
pay it here.
Mr. Sheppard said that he did not see
any advantage there was in leaving, for if
the Society did not pay, the Association
could expell the track. In the meantime
the Society had theopportunity of collect
ing the enterance money through the
Association.
This led W. W. Fox to remark, “Then
you believe in robbing rather than being
robbed.”
Treasurer Powell said that the purses
last year amounted to $1065, while the
entrance money collected was $475. The
cost of keeping np the track was $200
more, which was offset by the money
taken at the grand stand. Mr. Powell
declared that the honorable thing to do
was to withdraw from the Association,
arrange for South Jersey horse racing,
and bicycle contests and a vast amount
would be saved.
After some further debate, which was
not very clear, a vote was taken and the
recommendation was adopted by a vote
of 18 to 6.
The second recoininondaiion was then
taken up. It was to the effect that 5 per
cent, of the gross receipts should be taken
to pay upon the bonded debt. This debt
was $3000, in addition to the mortgage of
$5581. This bonded dobt was personally
carried by tbe individual members of the
Executive Committee. There are twelve
members of this committee and they are
responsible for $250 each. This debt was
accrued by borrowing money in the past
to pay premiums. The recommendation
was unanimously adopted.
Without debate the Society resolved
that tho fair of 1897 should he held two
day 8.
The paying of about $100 in premiums,
due for the fair of 1805, was referred to
ihe Executive Committee.
The dates ol'the lair days was also re
ferred to the somewhat burdened Execu
tive Committee.
The prices of admission were fixed the
same as last year.
The Executive Committee also received
another duty at the hands of the Society,
that of revising the annual schedule.
Officers of the Society were chosen ,
without contest as follows :
President, Belford B. Elwell.
Vice Presidents, Lewis M. Hires, Job :
M. Young, Charles Boody, .1. Howard
Sharp.
Secretary, Isaac C. Smalley.

JERSEY EDITORS IN SESSION.
They Indorse the Proposed Libel Law
Which is Hefore the Legislature*
The forty-first annual meeting of the
Editorial Association of the State of New
Jersey was held Monday in the Tren
ton House. George W. MeCowan, of
Bridgeton, presided. The association
adopted a resolution, introduced by H.
0. Page, Chairman of the Legislative
Committee, unequivocally indorsing the
proposed libel law now pending in the
Legislature, known as House bill, No. 27,
and introduced by Mr, King, of Passaic.
Wo look upon it as embodying a fair
measure of tardy justice to legitimate
newspaper enterprise, while in no Way’
hampering the speedy and condign
punishment of unprincipled and venial
sensation-mongers.”
I he Treasurer, James S. Yard, reported
that the association had §1,042.27 on harid
January 1, 1896, and that §122.49 was re
ceived during the year.
The Legislative Committee reported,
.v iti] respect to an effort to secure such
legislation as would authorize the publi
c.csjOn of the laws in the newspapers, that
they'were unsuccessful. The committee
had a Mil drawn, and it was introduced
in the Assembly and referred to tne Com
mittee on Revision of Laws, where it
died. The report adds: “A careful can
vass of the Assembly led us to believe
that the bill could have been passed in
that body, but in the Senate the opposi
tion was so Strong that it was impossible
to get encouragement enough to go any
further. We also learned that the Gov
ernor was unfavorable to the bill and
would have vetoed it.”
The following officers were elected:
President, Colonel H. C. Page, Bayonne:
vice president, Benjamin T. Ladd’ Vine
land : secretary, Charles Bechtel, Tren
ton ; treasurer, James S. Yard, Freehold.
Executive Committee—Sinnickson Chew,
Camden; Edward D. Stokes, Mount
Holly; Frank W. Baldwin, Orange;
Josiah Ketchum, Belvidere; Charles
Starr, East Orange.
NOT A SHADOW,
[ Immediate Spring May be Looked For.
The somewhat celebrated annual
ground hog did not see any shadow of
himself Tuesday. No matter what time
in the day he crawled from the hole
under the leaves, he saw no outline of
himself caused by his getting in the path
of the sun’s ray. Therefore he did not get
frightened, but remained out in the
dampness and proceeded to exercise him
self in the woods. He will not return.
He is not atra'd of any more cold weather.
He believes that Spring is at hand and ho
is preparing for it.
Well, maybe Spring is nearby, but it
won’t do to put too much confidence in
the little earth pig. He is liable to fool
us all, and snow and ice may yet prevail
for weeks.

GEO. LAWRENCE DEAD.
Dies at His Home Early Thursday Morning,
After Years of Business Activity and
Kellglous Devotion.
No more respected citizen of this town
than George Lawrence has ever lived
here, and last Thursday after iong years
of life, he died at his home, No. 85 Cedar
street. Death followed a severe attack of
internal trouble, after years of failing
health. The life ended at just 5.30
o’clock.
George Lawrence was born in Woods
town seventy-six years ago, and early in
life learned the trade of a wheelwright.
As a young man his attention was
directed to this city, and he located here.
But a short time alter his arrival he en
gaged in business for himself, establish
ing a shop, on the property now occupied
as the Mayor’s office. Joseph Miner was
an apprentice in this shop under Mr.
Lawrence, and after he mastered the
trade entered in partnership with his
master, and the business was continued
by the ftnn until Mr. Miner was ap
pointed postmaster. Mr. Lawrence con
tinued the business himself for awhile,
ami tueu established an iron store in con
nection with wbeel-wrighting, in a small
building upon the site now occupied by
tbe Bridgeton National Bank. He
gradually relinguisbed the wheelwright
business and gave bis entire attention to
the iron trade. A few years ago he sold
bis store property to the bank, and
moved his business ever ill Riley’s build
ing, (>,, Broad street. Failing health
caused him to dispose of his business,
and he retired from active mercantile
life.
Mi. Lawrence was but a young man
wheii he married Miss Sarah Conover,
who lived at that time near Fairton, and
she survives him as his widow. He lived
in various parts parts of the city until he
purchased a handsome property on Bank
street, and erected a most desirable home
where he lived for years. This property
he afterward sold to Central M. E.
Church, and it is now occupied as a par
sonage. When he disposed of his prop
erty, Mr. Lawrence purchased a lot on
Walnut street, where he erected a
modern duelling, and there took up .his
residence. This place he recently sold to
Miss Nancy P. Elmer. He then moved
to Cedar street where ho continued to re
side until death called him to day.
The children of the deceased, all of
whom sumive him, are Josephine, wife
of Edgar".J. ttiley; Ella, wife of Jesse
Claypnole, of Pennsgrove; George Al
bert Lawrence, of Rahway, N. J.; Belle,
wife of Philip E. Souder, member of the
Bridgeton Board of Education, aud Eliza
beth, wife oi Mayor E, M. Appelgate,
Mr. Lawrence always took an interest
in religious affairs, very early in life
identifying himself with the Methodist
Episcopal Church. He was for many
years a member of the old Commerce St.
M. E. Church and held official positions
there. He was one of the original mem
bers who withdrew from the old mother
church and established Central M. E.
Church, and he has siuce beeu one of its
most faithful and active members, hold
ing positions in the past in the official
boards.
in politics Mr, Lawrence was a staunch
Republican and lias takeu a wide interest
in political affairs, but always steadfastly
refused political Honors wheu offered
him and would have beeu cheerfully
conferred.
Mr. Lawrence was asubstautial citizen,
a respected man. whose life was as open
as a book and above reproach. One
cannot say more of him than to sum
up his entire career in that sentence
which means so much, he was a good
man.
At the Mercy of His Horse.
Sunday morniug a horse liaked with i
foam came dashing into Vineland and
made straightway for its home in Morris’
livery. The man in the carriage proved
to be Father Diettrich, who was so be
numbed and overcome that he was help
less aud had to be taken out of the car
riage and rubbed and administered to for
tome time. He said the horse started to
run with him at East Vineland and.
wrapping the lines around his hands, he
held on until he was helpless. The horse j
fid not realize its driver was helpless and
kept tiie road straight to the barn.
Sad blight of a Family.
Diphtheria threatens to wipe out the

ren dead in one bed and three more child
ren so ill with diphtheria that they are not
ikoly to recover. Besides this, Halston’s
wife is ailing and he is out of work.
They have neither food for fuel.

START THE MILLS.
Why Should the; East Lake Woolen Mills
Lie Idle? A Great Benefit to the |
City When Banning.
During ten years previous to Novem
ber, 1894, the East Lake Woolen Mills
paid to the laboring people of this town
something over six hundred thousand
dollars, (£600,000) and many there are
who can testify to the fact that since the
mills ceased operations the money dis
tributed through that channel has been
greatly missed, and they will quickly tell
you that it would be a great blessing if by
some means they could again be setin mo
tion. This expression is not confiued to
the laboring class of people who bad been
employed in the mills for years.but many
business people. Tbe company paid the
cash every two weeks and It was dis
tributed among the stores.
When Mr. Shaw took charge of the mill !
ten years or more ago it was in bad shape. ^
Alter loosing considerable money with j
the old worn out machinery they put in
a new boiler and engine at a cost of £9000
and spent $80,000 lor new broad looms;
put in all new floors and strong girders,
and improved the property in many
ways. The money for these expenses
were earned by the mill.
Now that tbe mill is in first class con
i dition, ready to start up with practically
' no expense except for stock, it c^ri^iaiv
j seems out of order for the pqsiness pep
[ ble of Bridgeton to alio w it to stain* Idle, j
j and the people, who might be employed.
| also idle for the want of a littie push. If
| those wbe have the money lying in our
| banks would take stock to the aMiblint of
thirty thousand ($.*1,000) dollars, to be
j used as working capital, the mill could
j be started by the first of March.
Mr. James B. Shaw had an informal
• conference with some Bridgeton people
Monday and expressed a willingness to
J do more than a fair share of the necessary
| work to organize a company to put the
| mill in operation. There will be an offort
i put forth to have the necessary stock
; taken in this city.
In view of the fact that many houses
are empty and that many willing ones
are unable to pay rental for the dwellings
they occupy, and that business is dull
because so many people are out of em
ployment, would it not lie a wise move
for thirty of our business men to sub
scribe $1000 to this stock ?
Surely there should be enough capital
ists here to put in operation these mills.
Bring forth the money and soon the busy
hum of the shuttles and tbe song of tbe
workmen and workwomen will be heard.
The money earned will go into the tills
of our merchants, and scores of em
plovees will be happy.
The object is not only to give employ
ment to many idle weavers in this city,
but plans will most likely be submitted
whereby it would ba a paying invest
ment- for the uionty put in the concern.
Wf ere is there a better investment? Such
manufactures as the East Lake Woolen
Mills are just what are needed in this city,
and we cannot afford to let it be idle.
Awake to the fact!
Mr. Shaw, the owner of the mills will
probably be here soon to explain his
ideas.
A f'lea for >eedy Children,
During the month of December “The
New Jersey Childrens’ Home Society”
received twelve little homeless ones and
placed in separate homes eleven. The
large amount of work this involved pre
vented the Superintendents from visiting
all the subscribers to collect the funds
needed, as a result, while more money
was expended in current expenses, less
than the usual amount was received, the
year closing with a deficiency.
During the present mouth a still larger
demand has been made upon us, more
children being reported to us than in any
previous month. Within the past week
we have been urged to take eighteen
children who are declared to be either
orphans, or worse than orphans most of
them, twelve boys and six girls, two
sweet little baby girls of four months,
the others from one to twelve years of
age. We already have a number of little
ones boarding, the monthly account due
February 1st, will amount to about
§60; other bills then due will bring up the
total to at least §5(X). The amount in the
treasury to meet these obligations is
§40. We therefore in this emergency ap
peal to the philanthropic public to decide
whether we shall refuse to provide for
these eighteen helpless little ones or not.
We will do our best to care for them and
place them in good homes, if those who
appreciate this work will contribute to :
the cost of carrying it on. Will not every
reader send in a contribution at once to ;
one of us or to the financial secretary
Rev. C. H. Ingram, so that he may be j
able to report at the next monthly meet- |
ingot'the Executive Committee all bills i
paid up to the first of February.

LEGISLATORS CAME HOME.
They Finish Up Business for the Week Yes-,
terclay Afternoon,
Trenton,Feb. 2—Assemblyman Harry
Scovel, of Camden, to-day offered a series
of game bills in addition to the large
number offered last week from the Fish
and Game Commission. Mr. Seovel is
one of the most enthusiastic and skillful
sportsmen in the State, and the bills pre
sented to day are the result of his personal
observations.
One of these bills provides that it shall
be unlawful to gun later in the season
than November. This will prevent the
tracking the game in the snow, especially
quail, which during December and Janu
ary this season were slaughtered in large
numbers by natives tracking single birds
to a covey, resulting in general slaughter.
It is made unlawful to take deer at all
until Jan. 1, 1900, and thereafter only be
tween November 1 and 15, inclusive, of
each year. The use of ferrets is prohibited
in any kind of hunting, and it is made a
finable offense to allow hounds to chase
rabbits or hares except during tbe open
season.
The inland waters of the State are
further protected by a prohibition of the
use of any kind of nets except where used
for catching bait only between September
l and March jj.
The Bicycle Babbage bill will probahly
be passed with some vUap.c-rss which artj
djinilunetl by the laiiroiid Companies.
These amendments are in matters of
minor detail. One amendment strikes
out the clause requiring that wheels shall
he carried on the same train as the wheel
men rides as a passenger. The reason for
this change is that some express trains
are not prepared for carrying baggage.
The railroad-representatives also object
to carrying wheels with lanterns and
cyclometers on them. They also demand
that the wheels shall be put on the cars
and taken off by the wheelmen.
In the Senate, Mr. Stokes introduced a
bill reserving tbe creeks around the Dela
ware Bay for oyster “tongers.”
Another bill was introduced by Mr.
1 raneis that where a township has public
buildings the Township Committee shall
designate a room therein where the Col
lector of Taxes must sit at regular hours
from September 1 to February 1.
Mr. Ketcham introduced a bill provid
ing that when any city contributes not
less than $3000 for the establishment of a
school of industrial education, the State
shall contribute an equal amount.
In tbe House, Mr. Wildes, of Burling
ton. presented a petition in favor of his
reduction of salary bill. Mr. Jackson, a
bill imposing a fine of $200 tor solicitors
for office to purchase ball tickets ; by Mc
Arthur, a bill authorizing Jersey City to
issue bonds for $300,000 for the erection of
public schools.
Iwo or three unimportant bills were
passed. Tbe bill introduced by Assem
blyman King, of Passaic, providing for
tbe taxation ot Lloyds Insurance Com
panies for the benefit of the Firemen’s
Relief Fund, also passed. Several bills
were introduced. Among them was one
prohibiting the distribution of ballots in
front of voting places, and auother to
prevent the discharge of any persorn em
ployed in any of the educational branches
of the State governmeut for political
reasons.
The Senate Committee on the Revision
of the Law had a meeting this morning,
and took up Senator Reed’s bill provid
ing for a 5 per cent, legal rate of interest.
The bill was laid over for further con
sideration at tbe request of Senator Reed
himself, who wanted time to secure data
as to what States, if any, now had a 5 per
cent, date Mr. Heed said he understood
that Illinois had such a rate, and that a
hill to accomplish the samo thing in New
fork is now before the Legislature of
that State. _
