TWO YEARS FOR LARSON

On Wednesday of -this week Judge Atwater at Rlikaibeth sentenced Alex Larsen, oif Perth Amboy, to the State prison, for ;tiwo years for highway rob­bery commibteed in Rahlway. This is the man who rofbbed iMlss Josephine Fkannaigan sevral weeks ago in iMe- tudhen and other women in other places' in this county.

The Judge explained that his i tenoe was only for the Rahway of­fense and the '.Middlesex county au­thorities can punish Larsen for the several crimes he committed in this county when the Union county sen­tence is completed if they so desire. Presumably it will not be considered oeoesary and we truststhis conviction will deter others from similar crimes.

WELL KNOWN PHRASES.

Santances Ono Quotes, but Often Can't ‘'Place.”

The phrase “leave no stone unturn­ed” Is frequently employed in every­day conversation, but yet nine people out o f ten who use it would be unable ty tell its derivatlpn.

The expression fti taken from “Eurlp-

l by tba todlvlda»l<IORtd^ pends os temperament, the Individual needs. It Is entirely personal. The question of what woman’s work Is was never so broad as it is today or •o ill defined.”

Miss Woolley adjured the college wo­men to work for the welfare of “ the

-homeless newsboys, the women herd­ed in tenements which it is a travesty to call homes” and especially “to abol­ish sweatshops If It takes every drop o f bargain loving blood you have in your veins.”

Dr. Bailie}, another speaker at this luncheon, said the life of America’s higher Institutions of learning was se­riously threatened by the readjust ments that were taking place. “But we can more easily spare men’s col­leges than women’s colleges,” be said. “ Men’s work In the world seems to demand that they specialize; women can afford ttmo to take a broad, liberal training? They do not require to spe­cialize so much. Perhaps nature has specialized them less.”

Often when one has a cold the eyes tfeel not and are red and Inflamed. The best way to effect a cure Is to bathe the eyes frequently with a solution of boric acid and water. •; not feel Improved after your eoid d — appears It would be well to consult an oculist.

Wkwe W oaiM Ift Harote.The determination to do her duty at

all costa inspires the society woman of today as much as it did the defenders o f the British flag at Trafalgar. She goes Into nction with a grim resolve to dance and dine as all her friends ex­pect. Though her back is aching, her bead splitting and she knows she is grew Homely bared, she will heroically go through her day’s programme, forti­fied by the oonsclousiiess of having don# her dnt/r— Lucies’ Field.

“A Ftsther In Hio Cap.”This familiar saying-originated in

wauRke days, when it was customary for knights to honor such of their fol­lowers as distinguished themselves In battle by presenting them with a feather to wear in their caps, which when not in armor was the covering o f their beads, and no one was permit­ted that privilege who had n6t “killed his man.”

Why They’re “ Quakers.”Members of the Society of Friends

are frequently designated by outsiders as “ Quakers,” hut few people probably have any idea that Quakers is a nick­name given in scorn,

George Fox, the founder o f the sect, gives the origin o f . the naifie iu his Journal: “Justice Bennett of Derby was tjie first to call us ‘Quakers,’ be­cause I bade lit-m, quake and tremble at the word o f t h e Lord.” This oc­curred In 1050.

W HEN you buy Groceries you have to consider a great many things. The first and most importana feature &

that of Quality; the next, naturally, is price. Then you put the two together and look for the highest quality, with aa low a price as in consistent. You do not, of course, expect to get the highest grade for the same price as a lower grade, but at the same time you do not want to pay more titan the goods are really worth, merely because the quality is high; in other words, you do not want to pay for the name of the brand of the' goods Which you are purchasing, you want to --ay just what they are worth. Here is w/here we can help you out by saving you money, and we simply ask for a trial. We are convinced of our ability to satisfy you in every par­ticular, no matter hqw fastidious you may be. We can assuro you of polite attention and efficient service; of fair dealinig, whether cash or credit; of the same care in filling your order*, whether (hey'be sent in by telephone, or selected at the store.

-We should be glad of the opportunity to serve you.

MAY ABANDON OLD MILL POND j

The destruction by fire recently of the old grist mill at South Plainfield has raised a legal point which may result in the abandonment of the fa­mous mill pond at that place. Such action -would'' be a serious loss to the 'Middlesex Water Company, of which T'nited States Senator John Kean is the principal stockholder. The 'com­pany pi)tains its supply from pHngs which feed the pond, and anything tending to Interfere with that would mean a heavy lerss.

It is said that under the terms of the old deed which granted the land for mill pond purposes, if at any time it be mill should be aban doned. the iproj>erty would revert to the grantors. This wbuld open a large tract of land for buiw cling purposes. The td.vnship

; committee ..lias been discussing the matter, and.it la likely that it will be

j referred to the courts for a decision.I Since the destruction of the mill, no efforts have been made to rebuild.
