EMBARGO awn HIGH P KICKS Congressman Fitsgerald's purpose to _ press for an snAargo on food produet. will run counter to the President's ideas;- but is is not the first time that Mr. Wilson fcx, found Mmsc-if at outa with the Brooklyn leader. If the embargo should be laid, it would afford aa immediate and unmistakable answer to the question, what is the cauBe of high prices! thit Went where wheat is high, the Democrats have always claimed the credit for the Wilson administration. Bown East, where bread Is high, they lay it to the war in Europe. Mr. Fitzgerald thinks the latter is the cause of it all, evidently, and if he can stop the exportation of food stuffs oversees we can all tell mighty quick whether H D the wartime trade that causes us all to dig down so deep for the necessaries. DRUG STANDARDS AND THE PHARMACISTS Th State Department of Health is planning to have its inspectors collect samples of drugs offered for gale thruout the state for the purpose of ascertaining whether pharameists are making their preparations in conformi- — ty with the new standards embodied in the recent revision of the D. 6. Pharmacopoeia and the National Formulary. These new standards became effective one September I, 1916, and pharmacists have now had time to dispose of old stock and make up new supplies of preparations in accordance with the new standards.

), "commercial quantities" ia souther* * New Jersey.

It companies are exploited, the 0 logical sequence to the circulation of such reports, they wfH find plenty of the credulous anxious to invest their money. In discouraging the belief that oil in 5 paying quantity, or in fact, in any s quantity at all, exists in the newly dUt covered "oil field," the bulletin dtm the - absence of characteristic structural fea- - turns which mark the presence of come mercial oil fields and proves to the sat- - isfaction of the average man not al1 ready inoculated with the speculative - gwm, that there ia not one chance ia . ten thousand of finding oil in paying - quantities in South Jersey, or in any 5 other section of this State, for t ^natter. The Commission ooododes its bullet- * in with this temperate warning to the public: "In view of the above facts- the Stat* Geologist and bis associates have reswh: ed the conclusion that it is unlikely than an oil pool of commercial importance exists in the State. If their eon1 elusions are well founded, ail drilling for oil in New Jersey is yet speculative and should be undertaken only by those who fully understand the hazards of the g&fne and can afford to lose their entire venture." . . . SEVEN HOUR DAY NOW! Having established to their own satisfaction, at least that eight houre constitute a full day's labor, some of the union leaders in -the West have started movement to make seven hours the accepted measure of a man's daily toil. is about one-half the length of the average farmer's working day but a years ago and it is possibly not than two-thirds of the time which a good many will be glad to call a day's work, when the inevitable slump comes the present abnormal condition of' the labor market and this country is for its commercial life with pauperized Europe. The extent to which the United States lias curtailed productiveness througlf the general cutting down of the hours constituting a day's work may not be realized now it will be when the war is over and desperate industrial competition with the countries of Europe oecomes an actuality instead of a threat. — New Jersey .Personally we think seven hours is much too much. Five would be better. In fact why in thunder should there be any work at all. Almost anybody will admit that it's a nuisance.
