Food Peculiarities,

Dr. Sophie Lepper, the English food
specialist, says in speaking of the pecul-
iarities of various foods that blanehed
almonds give the higher nerve or brain
and muscle food, no heat or waste
Walnuts give nerve or brain fpod. mus
Gle, heat and waste. Pine ketnels give
heat and stay. They serve u "A substi-
tute for bread. Green water grapes are
blood purifying, but Of little food value.
Blue grapes are feeding and blood puri-
flying, too rich for those who suffer
from the liver; tomatoes, higher nerve
or brain food and waste no heat. They
are thinning and stimulating Juicy
fruits give more or less the higher nerve

and waste; no heat. Apples supply the
higher nerve and muscle food, but d

ELECTION OF STATE DELEGATES.
Democrats viii Hold a Convention
for That Purpose.

Tomorrow evening the Democratic
standing committee of the Fourth
legislative district will hold meet
ing In Fadden's hall, Priceburg, to
name a time and place for holding a
convention to elect delegates to the
state convention to be held in Reading
August 81.
This is the first call of the kind
issued, and is in accordance with the
new county rules of the Democratic
patty. Many members of the four legis-
lative standing committees of Lacka-
wanna county object to calling con-
vention for the purpose of electing
state delegates They claim 1t is the
business of the legislative standing
committee to do it, and that the county
convention has the power to take the
privilege away from them, or In fact
to make laws of any kind for the legls-
lative districts.
The Fourth district call Is signed by
NJ. j. McAndrew, of Archibald, the
chairman, and f. j. McCaffery. of Jer-
myn, secretary.

DID BUFFALO BILLS POSTERS DO 1T
Five Small Boys Left Town Since the
Wild West Ads. Began.

This city seems to be decreasing in
its Juvenile population. Within two
weeks five small boys have run away
from home. John Costello, aged IA
years, left his home in Dunmore last
Wednesday. His whereabouts are still
unknown, at least the police have not
been informed Of the boys discovery.
Two weeks ago Michael Campbell
in company with Albert Hagen, left
their homes on Capouse avenue. The
Hagen boy returned few days ago
and told Mrs. Campbell that her son
and he had left Syracuse for home at
the same time. Hagen thought that
Campbell was home before him. Mrs.
Campbell does not believe the story
and the police are trying to locate the
boy.
Another runaway is jerome ]. Scott,
12 years old, of 71S Hemlock street.
He left home last Thursday.
The fourth case is that of Herbert
Knight, aged 10 years. who has been
missing since last Sunday. The police
were notified yesterday.

THAT TEST SUIT OF
ATTORNEY VIDAVER
General Manager SiIIiman Defines the
Attitude Of Ills Company.
WHAT THE LAW REQUIRES OF 1T
Cannot BE Expected TO Work Mira
cies or Do Impossible Things.
Every Effort Is Used TO Get Passen-
gers to Their Destination--If Mr..
vidaver Had Been Patient He
Would Have Been Carried to what-
ever Point lie Desired to Go to.

In view of the recent stalling Of
loaded trolly cars on Carbon street
during the rain that flooded that
thoroughfare and in consequence of
Attorney Vidaver's suit to recover
fares paid to the Traction company, 1t
may be interesting to know what Gem
eral Manager Silliman has to say on
the matter. There are a good many
positive things in Mr.. Sillman's make
up, and one Is his aversion to being
quoted In a newspaper, but he talked
freely with a Tribune reporter last
night in reference to the Carbon street
episode in particular, and said some-
thing in a general way about a trolley
company's obligations in transporta-
ton.
"If one of our conductors" Mr.. Silli-
man remarked, accepts fare from a
passenger we are obliged to carry the
latter to his destination. The accept
ance of the passengers five cents
makes us a party to a contract. We
would not be released, as I understand
It, from the obligation even though
the overhead wire was swept away by
storm, the tracks submerged by water
or the roadbed swallowed in a mine
cave. We would not be expected,
however, and we would not be obliged
under such circumstances to transport
passenger in any particular car nor
within any specified time or manner.
Our obligation would be to use the
best means within our power and
within reason.
THE DID NOT KNOW.
"On the night of the Wild West show
it was not known to our employees be-
fore the cars left the show grounds
that Carbon street was impossible. 1t
was known, / believe, at the power
house, but not until the cars had re-
ceived their loads and had started to-
| wards the city. When the trouble was
ascertained our men had no reason to
believe they could not open the sewer
gratings and let the water run off.
Every severe rain storm that visits
the Pine Brook section of the city
| submerges the Carbon street tracks
to a greater or less extent. Rarely has
traffic been wholly suspended there
When it has been suspended we have
found an early remedy by sending mer
into the water, where they succeeded
! in keeping the debris from the sewer
grating and thus permitted the water
to disappear in a few moments. Or
this particular night, however, tn,
sewer was choked so full between tn,
source of the trouble and it's mouth
that it's capacity was overtaXed anC
the company was helpless.
THEIR BUSINESS TO PLEASE.
TT is to a railroads advantage u
please rather than displease its patrons
and we tried to please them on th
night of the Wild West show. We die
the best we could, and do not deserv,
criticism in this particular instance.
"In Mr.. Vidaver's case he would
have been transported to his destina
tion if he had given us an opportunit!
to carry out the contract"
