SPEAXS AT SOLDIERS' HOME | Former Governor Franklin Murphy, n< who is seeking the United States S<n- I, j ator.-hip, we» a visitor at the Soldiers' t< • Home in' Kearny Tuesday afternoon. Al- j hi 'though the call was of a social char- " ■acter, the distinguished guest was iii.it- ti to address the veterans. About two " ' hundred were present. In introducing tl 1 1 Mr. Mfirphy, Superintendent James F. •i Connelly, a former State Department n j Commander of the fi. A. R„ referred to ® j the former Governor's war record. Ho f> 1 ' told how Mr. Murphy as a lad enlisted a . in the Thirteenth Regiment at its for- 0 . jmation in 1862 and served in that com- ® j mand until the close of the war. He *1 1 also mailed that the regiment received h ! baptism of fire in the Battle of An- 0 , tic-tarn within two weeks after its or- 1< ganization and that after' Chancellors- p ville and Gettysburg it was sent west ® and participated in the memorable earn- £ p&ign with Sherman to Atlanta and the " , sea. In all, the regiment took part in * Dine teen battles andMr. Murphy was in >' every one of them, winning promotion r ' for gallantry in action. * . ln"..THdr«Brtrfg the' "bid jwldiers, -Mr. «i Murpbyr said: "1 appreciate very much the privilege h I have this afternoon of visiting this t 1 Soldiers' Home and saying a word to my ' I comrades of the Grand Army. Some of 1 , you more than fifty years ago, were com- r radeg with me in the Thirteenth New 1 ' Jcrsev Regiment. The great majority of ' yorrwertcd in the Civil Wat End wdre f ) instrumental at that time, with tbo.»f- i t ands'of others who enlisted as you did, ' j in saving this great country. Now. .in ' the evening of your lives, you are cared < ® for by a grateful government, which ap- 1 1 preriates the sacrifices you made «o ' 2 long ago and which does what it can tc. ' show its appreciation in the provision it < has made for your comfort. - ^1 have long been interested in. ti* work of the Soldiers' HoHe. For t. a' I years it was my "privilege to be a meui I l>er of the Board of Managers of the Na- 1 tional Home, and to do what I could to < nee that that Home, in all its many < branches, was well equipped and w.-ll < managed, so that the Old Soldiers might i be cared for" in comfort, i '"^Fe a*e ;u«t beginning a campaign few the election of a new President. 1 I halve sometimes thought that Presiden- 1 rial elections occurred too often. In ,i this instance I don't think we could j I have a change too soon— for I assume we ! I , shall have a ehange. I take it for . i granted that the long record of inef- ^ i ficiency made by the present adminis- i tration will meet with its just rebuke at l e the "polls In November.

"But I did not come over this afterto make a political speech, nor do ^ I»feel that it would be proper for me ^ to do so. There are some questions, ]; | however, that will be discussed in this tl campaign which are not- partisan ques- w and oh one of these, at least, 1 may say a word. 1 refer ta what in tl these "days is known as 'preparedness.' 1» "That means that' we should have a p military establishment, both in the army is and navy, sufficient to defend ourselves n assaults of any enemy on. land n and sea. It means that we must not y only have forts on our shores, properly a equipped with modern guns, but that we ' e have a sufficient number of men I p to man them and a sufficient quantity e of powder to use them. I was told pot h long ago that there was not enough b powder in our fofta on the Atlantic h coast to fire half a dozen shots from the G now in the forts. It means that we F shall not only have an adequate defence, F sufficiently equipped and manned; but a it means that we shall have an' army* F ready to move anywhere Upon call, • where the country is assailed or our G ip teres ts, or- our honor require ynotoc- e tion. It means further that we aball 1 a navy commensurate with the t twenty-odd thousand miles of sea-ooast it has to protect; that that navy shall • of modern construction and fully « manned find equipped. But I think it f more than this. It means that i shall instill into the minds of our i fellow tftiaeb* a spirit that shall make 1 all this easy to accomplish — the spirit, t if you please, that inspired you men to f whom I now speak to enlist in the ola ( days; the spirit of genuine patriotism 1 that puts the love of country before ev- < erything else. And in the* years that 1 followed, years il true of ui... « exampled prosperity, I rather feel thgt j this spirit has grown somewhat dormant. W? need something to stir, it up. 1 think the people. should be Inspired with determination to provide evervthing n. the tine of military equipment that .-null enable the Ucited States to look every other nation in, the world in the 'hp" that when we talk about our right" , H may bq understood that we have the , means to defend our righto. "I could enlarge on this if 1 had the ■ time and if ithwere neebssarv to do so. j I did not eome b»re this afternoon to i .make an extended speech. I did want I to visit the Home and to see my old | . [ friend of many years who is now its | ( superintend! lit, and to get a little fresh • inspiration by looking into tb» faces of ( • who, in their boyhood, felt no sac- ; rifice too great to niake for the coun- • try of their affection." 1 " i

..HOT WaATHEH AND HORSES 1. Load lightly, and drive slowly. 2. Stop in th4 shade if possible. 3. Water your horse as often as possible. So long as a horse is working, water in small quantities will not hurt hira. But let him drink only a few swallows if be is going to stand atilL not fail to water him at night after lie has eaten bis hay. ■I When he comes in after work, si enge off the harness marks and sweat, ili.s eyes, his nose and mouth, and the dock. Wash his feet but not his legs. 5. Jf the thermometer is 75 degree* higher, wipe him all over with a damp sponge. Use vinegar water if poeeible. Do not turn the hose on him. 6. Saturday nigbt, give a bran maah7~— luke-warm, and add a tablesppoffful of r saltpetre. 7. Do not use a horse-hat, unless it in a canopy-top hat. .-The ordinary bellshaped bat does more harm than good. 8. A. sponge on top of the head, or even a doth, is good if kept wet. If dry it is worse than nothing. 9. If the horse is overcome by heat, get him into the shade." remove harness and bridle, wash out his moutli, sponge him all over, shower his leg's, and giro hitn two ounces of aromatic spirits of ammonia, or two ounces of sweet spirits of nitre, in a pint of water; or give him a pint of coffee warm. Cool hia head at once, using cold water, or if necessary, chopped ice. wrapped in a cloth. 10. If the horse is off his feed, try him with two quarts of oats mixed with bran, and a little water; and add . a little salt or sugar. Or give bim oatmeal gruel or barley water to drink. 11. Watch your horse. If he stop* sweating suddenly, or if he breathes short and quick, or if his ears droop, or if he stands with his legs braced sideways. he is in danger of a heat or sunstroke and needs attention at once. 12. If it is so hot that the borse sweats in the stable al night, tic him outside, with bedding under him. Unless he cools off during the night ho cannot well stand the next day's heat.
