NEW LAWS FOR SCHOOL TENURE OF OffHCE LAW ■edical lispector nst k kf paiited ii ifl SckMl Nstrids. At Ink New Jersey baa a teachers' tenure of office bill. Governor Port signed this week the measure introduced by Speaker Prince, for which that eminent educator made a hard and winning tight. It la ten "years since the first "teachers' "tenure of office bill was introduced by the teachers. Several times it pasaed oneVBouse or the other and once it wa» vetoed by Governor Murphy. The bill this yearRwas drawn bj Speaker Prince and was'amended several times before it became a law. About'2000 teachers. It is estimated, will be effected by the law. It prorides that the services of all teachers, principals, supervising" superintendents and superintendents shall be ; during gooa behavior and efficiency, providing they shall have passed a probationary period of three years, ! unless a shorter period be fixed by the i _ employing boatfl. Period of service 1 at time of the act going into effect will ; count on the three years. County superintendents are not affected. The i act continues : . "No teacher, principal, supervising ' principal, supervisor, assistant city; 'superintendent or city "superintendent shall be dismissed or his or ber salary , reduced except for iust cause and after an opportunity to be heard : save" and except nothing In the wording of this ( act ahal) apply to cases of dismissal J made necessary by ajreduction of the ( number of teachers in any school district, due rto a natural diminution of j the number of pupils. Any teacher, principal, supervising principal, -super- , visor, sssistant city superintendent or city superintendent who shall hold his , or her position daring good behavior and|efficiency shall give to the Board of £ Education by whom he or she shall be employed at least sixty'days' notice of Intention to terminate his or her aervice in the schools under the'control of s ■aid board." In figuring" salaries, unless other- I wise specified under the act, a'month * shall be taken," to be ap.scbool Mays, or s four weeks of five school days""each, s and shall be paid Inequal monthly in- 0 stalmente not later than five days'after ® the close of each month the schools f are Fin session. Each teacher must y have a proper certificate. j At a meeting of the County School Superintendents' Association held last r week in the "State House, the tenure e act and several other new laws were 1 discussed. These include a change in ' the ccmpulsory school'law restoring j the age limit 'to 17 years, but permit ( school boards to excuse from school at- j ' tendance children between 14 and 17 ] years if it can be shown that it is nec- i , essary for them to work. If the chil- 1 i dren stop work, however, they must at ' once return to school. Another new law makes it compul- ! • aory to appoint a medical inspector in j 1 all school districts. Still another per- j mita school children to use National Guard armorios for athletic purposes, if the consent of the military autbori- 1 ties is first obtained. Under another i act all of the supervising principals ; of the schools are legislated out of c office and may be reappointed only by the "sanction of the State Board of r Education. This is to get rid of such i officers in rural communities where they are not needed.— Philadelphia I Public Ledger. 1 — — , Printing for Farmers. f □farmers as well as all other business , men should have their printed bill t heads, cards, 'paper and envelopes.

HAT STACK BOWeD What aught have proved a very disastrous ' fire was narrowly 'averted by the prompt aetion of friends and ' neighbors- On Tb^kday, about one o'clock while Mr. Geo. Stringfellow ' was'away from his home on Stim son's Lane, a Jlarge stack of - hay directly back of tbiaibara was discovered to be on fire by his daughter, Mrs. Oerxi* MeAvaney. She ran for Isaac tettcoa and John WekJen, who 'quietly responded and bogan a fight to save the barn. In a very short time friends . and neighbors began cotaieg to their . assistance and aooo a bucket brigade began with woman at the pomp, and j although there were over a score I hard at work, with water, pitch forks ! and axes, it was not runtil a^hard and f stubborn fight lasting over two hours , tTiat the barn could be declared out of j danger from destruction. FAt several , times It was on fire and only through , heroic work it was saved. The stack 'r of bay consisting of twelve two horse ( wagon loads, was a total lass. The origin of the fire is unknown.

An Ywlfcnws Nervousness and sleeplessness are ' usually due to the fact that the nerves are not fed on properly nourishing blood ; they are starved nerves. Dr. Golden Medical Discovery makes "pure, rich blood, and thereby the nerves are properly nourished and all the organs of the body are run as j smoothly 88 machinery which runs in ! oil. In this way you feel clean, strong and stenoous — you are toned up and invi. -orated, and you are good a whole lot of physical or mental work. Beit of all, the strength and increase in vitality and health are lasting. The trouble with most tonics and medicines which have a large booming sale for a sjiort time, is that they are composed of aclohol holding the drugs in solultion. This alcohol shrinks up the red blood corpuscles, and in the run greatly injure the system, j may feel exhilarated and better I for the time being, yet in the end weakened and with vitality decreased. I Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery ; contains no alcohol. Every bottle of it bears upon its wrapper The Badge of Honesty, in a full list of all its sevI eral ingredients. • For the druggist to 'offer you something he claims is j "just as good" is to insult your intelligence.

In these days of under- . mining influences continually at work - there needs toj be constani|falertneas » and united effort on the part of all the • churches to'meet the sentiment hostile r to the proper maintenance and protecb tion of our Cbristian'Sabbath. The att tempts to openly defy the laws recently iu some of our seaside resorts and f inland -cities, together with their brazen efforts to' pass obnoxious bills through s the last legislature^ should stir and > unify the Christian sentiment as never • before aroused. And the fact that ■ more than 800 churches and 600 young peoples' societies sent their protests 1 against the vicious legisiationlproposed I atj the State Capitol, shows in how : imminent danger the security and ■ peace of the Sabbath has been placed ) by the enemies of the sanctity of the Lord's^ Day.
