SUPERIOR TO BUTTER.
DR.. Ames an Ardent Advocate of the
Use of Butterine,

DR.. Howard e. Ames of the United Statee
navy, who has taken so prominent part in tn
various discussions during the convention of
the American Public Health association, is
probably one of the most thoroughly informed
men on the question of proper and nutritious
food in the United States. One of the articles
of food to which he has paid particular atten-
tion is butterine, which he considers a far su-
perior article of diet to butter.
''The reason 1t is not more common article
OF diet" he explained to reporter of the Star
'is because OF popular prejudice founded
largely upon imagination and careless state.
ments made by many uninformed persons, and
as matter of fact, there isn't one in 10000
who can tell the difference between the two.
The nutritious value is fully equal to that of
butter; it is much cheaper, and when properly
made will remain sweet and fit for consump-
ton much longer.
"There might be some argument against hut
terine made in small establishments where the
material from which it Is made is allowed to
accumulate tor several days, but in the large
establishments like those in this city, where
the material is taken from animals killed the
same day, the butterine is more free from i'm
purities than butter There is more fermenta
ton or putrefactiye change in milk than the
other materials, and the best butterine is that
made with the least milk
Ihe manu1acture OF butterine in properly
constructed factories is much more clean too.
than the manufacture of butter, and the fac
tories here, notice, are nearly perfect in that
respect. The matter used for coloring is in no
way injurious, and the high temperature to
which the materials are subjected perfectly
sterilizes them. have seen butterine and hut
ter put up IN cans at the same time, and when
opened ten or twelve months later the butterine
was sweet, while the butter was rancid and
unfit for use.
"The idea is to educate the people up to
using it. l have recommended its use for the
regular rations in the army and navy, and am
satisfied that it will prove better article of
food than butter. II should be more generally
used and not looked upon as an inferior arti-
Gle and makeshift for butter, when it is really
superior. "-l Kansas City Star.

government at the recent convention held in
Kansas City by the American Public Health
association.

Electricity for Deafness.

The extent to which electricity is be-
ing used in legitimate medical practice
is rapidly on the increase, and many of
the new devices for applying it have dis
tinct merit. A recently invented appa-
ratus for the cure of deafness comprises
battery, belt, an electrode supporter
on the belt, and shaped to rest on the ear
and connections between the electrode
and the battery. This provides con-
venient and efficient mode of receiving
the current, which can be applied in
finely graduated strength. Exchange

"MURDER, though it have no tongue.

MURDER, though it have no tongue,
will speak with most oracular organ"
is as true of any other heinous crime
committed. The truth of this quotation
from the immortal bard has never been
more signally verified than in the case
of Rev. Edgar Dunbar, alias Rev. Seth
Burnett, published exclusively in tn g
HERALD yesterday. Dunbar has been
conspicuous citizen of Los Angeles and
Southern California for twenty years,
and it remained for mere accident to
discover that he was the man who
eloped from Arkansas with another
mans wife, leaving his own family des-
titute. What a CHASTITY skeleton has
been in this mans house during all
these years when he has been calling
sinners to repentance!

The sad tragedy at San Jacinto, pub

AID is one OF the deplorable events that
so frequently occur in small communi-

who delight in creating trouble between
individuals. 1t has cast gloom over
town which has heretofore been noted
for its good order and harmony, and the
friends of both parties will now, doubt
less feel deeply the sad ending of this
deplorable rencontre.

The most valuable product Of the
eucalyptus trees which are planted IN
California arc the essential oil and GER
tain medical preparations from the

eucalyptus, which resembles Ia Its

into prominence within few years. Il
is concentrated extract from freshly
gathered leaves of trees that ere at least
seven years old, and the older the better.
It is used for most OF the ailments where

The New York Tribune asserts

The New York Tribune asserts that
ssthe proposition to establish Road De-
partment, or Road Bureau in the Inte--
rior Department, has been received with
small favor by those most deeply inter-
ested in the construction of good roads,
and Congress is not likely to be asked to
give serious attention to it. The senti-
ment in favor of good roads, however, is
steadily increasing. Excellent reports
have been received from Vermont, Mas
sachusetts, Maine, Maryland and Georgia.
It appears that President Gilman, of
Johns Hopkins University, IS taking an
active interest in the formation of local
leagues for good roads in the vicinity of
Baltimore; and Professor George HI.
Hamlin, of the Maine State College, in
tends to undertake the establishment OF
such leagues in his State. It is highly
gratifying to see this class of men zeal
ously interested in this good work. In
truth, it is matter that concerns every
member Of the community"

DASHED INTO A CAR.
Carelessness in Chicago Leads to a
Terrible Accident

Carelessness in Chicago Leads to a
Terrible Accident.
Four persons were killed and eight injured
few mornings ago by the collision of a
street car and locomotive at Forty seventh
street and Stewart avenue. Chicago,
Ill. The street car was crowded
and was passing the Fort Wayne
Railway tracks when a Fort Wayne
train crashed into it SO suddenly that the
occupants had no time to escape. The dead
are: George Blaka. Archibald McAndrews,
unknown man found under the tender of the
wagon on the way to Mercy Hospital, sup
posed to be Mrs. Carson, as a card bearing
that name was found in her pocket.
The accident happened when the street
car traffic was at its heaviest and the cars
were crowded to the doorways with people
standing and sitting. The car was going
east on Forty seventh street to State street,
where it was to be hitched to a grip
car, which was to bring it to the bust
ness centre of the city. As it APP
preached the tracks of the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago, at Forty seventh street
and Stewart avenue, an engine came backing
down the tracks at a rate of about
fifteen miles an hour, the railroad peo-
pie say. For some reason the oc-
cupants of the cab did not see
the car approaching, and, on account of the
heavy coating of frost on the windows of
the car. the passengers did not ses the
engine bearing down upon them. In an in
stant the engine struck the car and passed
on.
The car was dragged for 150 yards, and
at every foot of the distance fresh injury
was added to those inflicted. The horses
became detached from the car and ran away
uniniured.
The widest confusion reigned for the first
few minutes. Those who had come to the
work of rescue could hear the pitiful cries of
the wounded and see the body of one dead
man. George Blaka was the first one taken
from the wreckage. He was carried to a sa-
loon, but died almost as soon as he reached
there. heother wounded were then picked
up and carried into houses near the cross
ing.
Five police patrol wagons soon arrived.
The most severely injured person, the
woman supposed to be Mrs. Carson. was at
once put into one of the wagons and
started for Mercy Hospital Before
the wagon had gone far Conductor
O'Connor and Driver Stanley, who
were on the street car, and Engineer Ross
cup and Fireman Meager of the train were
arrested. That the accident was due to the
grossest carelessness cannot be doubted. By
their own statements the two crossing men,
Albright and Schwartz, were not attend
ing to their duty, and neither of them
knew of the danger until after the crash

Taking the players on the team of the

agnosis of every injury received by them
and demonstrated that the worst case of
all was very trivial. He says further,

fend this great game of football, so in

players in every way. 1t makes a man

Mr.. w. H. Preece, chief engineer and
electrician to the Postoffice, has put up
wire mile long on the coast near
Lavernock. and a shorter wire on Flat.
holm, little island three miles off In
the Bristol Channel. He fitted the lat
ter wire with sssounder" to receive
messages, and sent message through
the former from powerful telephone
generator. That message on the main
land was distinctly heard on the island,
though nothing connected the two, or,
in other words, the possibility OF tele-
phone between places unconnecfed by
wire was conclusively established. There
is possibility here of inter planetary
communication, a good deal more worthy
attention than any scheme for making
gigantic electric flashes. We do not
know if we can communicate by tele-
phone through the ether to New York
or Melbourne, with or without cables,
but we do know that, if we cannot, the
fault is in our generators and saunders,
and not in prohibitory natural law.

learned Just how to make one before he
got through. Soon afterward he tackled
