UNIFORMITY OF ARMS.
Navy TO Abandon the Lee Rifle and
Adopt the Weapon Used by

1t is probable the navy will adopt

thus ending IL long controversy. A
board recently met at New York and
discussed the question. The board has
sent in its report, which is unanimous
in favor of abandoning the Lee rifles in
the navy in favor of the so-called Krag-
Jorgensen small arm used in the mill
tary force. Operations of the army and
navy during the war demonstrated that
uniform caliber must be used by the
land and naval forces. The decision
reached was in favor of the army small
arm of 80 caliber. Naval ordnance Off
GERS do not admit that the army rife
is better than the navy arm or that 1t
possesses qualities as weapon which
commend it more than the small arm
of the navy. but as it is probably equal
Iy good and the government has large
stock of the army weapons on hand the
board naturally agreed to discard the
arm of which the government had the
less supply.

CHANCE FOR OUR CAPITAL.
Gulf Ports Awakening to Their OPP
pOrtunities of Increased
Trade with Cuba.

New enterprises in Cuba are for
American capital. The opening of in
creased means of communication be-
tween Havana and the Florida ports
has clinched this conclusion. Com
munication is now est blisihed three
times a week with Tampa on the west
coast, and twice week with Miami on
the east coast. The business may not
be sufficient in volume for awhile to
keep two lines of steamers employed.
The competition for what there is of it
will probably be sharp. But after
a time there will be enough for both

their opportunities, and an increased
trade with the southwest promises
soon to be developed.

ABOUT CEREAL FOODS.
They Are Prepared In Scores of ways
and Form Valuable Addition
10 the Daily Diet.

1t has been conceded by those who
have made dietary matters study.
that the stomach is helped, and diges-
tive conditions improved. by an al
ternating diet of the various grains for
breakfast food. There is such great
variety in cereal preparations to draw
from, and these too can be cooked in SO
many different ways. that there is alb
solutely no reason for the consumer
becoming tired, with a monotonous
diet.
1t is not generally understood by
housekeepers that any cereal, with the
exception of samp or hulled corn, after
it has been well boiled. set aside to
cool. cut in slices and dipped in beaten
egg. can be fried most delicate brown,
without hardening or toughening the
cereal. thus making most delicious
dish for breakfast or luncheon.
Barley meal used in this way gives
companion dish to the fried sausage,
as novel as it is tasty.
The variety of ways of manufacture
ing the raw grains, j. e., finely ground,
coarseIy ground, rolled. toasted. ETC..
seems to impart a different flavor to
the same grain when cooked.
Barley-Barley -four, barley meal.
pearled barley, rolled barley.
Observation-Disclosures meal, greats
or hulled buckwheat.
Corn-White corn -four, white corn
bolted meal, white corn granulated
meal, white corn grits, white corn
hominy or cracked corn, white corn
whole corn, white corn rolled. or faxed
hominy, white corn lye hominy.
Popcorn-Popped and ground.
Yellow corn flour, yellow corn bolted
meal, yellow corn granulated meal, yell
low corn grits, yellow corn I've hulled
hominy.
Oats-Oat -four, fine oatmeal, coarse
oatmeal, oat greats, rolled oats.
Rice-Rice -four, broken rice, whole
or head rice, faxed or rolled rice.
Rye-Rye meal. cracked rye, rolled
rye.
Wheat-Wheat middlings or farina,
toasted middlings or farina farinose,
cracked wheat, steel cut wheat, rolled
or faxed wheat.
This does not enumerate any of the
fanciful or special trade names given
to these grains by manufacturers.
One of the most delicious cereals. sell
dom used in the average household, ex-
cept for gruels or in soup, is barley.
which, when boiled or steamed, and
served like rice, and eaten as vege-
table, with butter and salt, will be
found most acceptable addition to the
table.
During the cold. weather the Ger
mans, Hungarians and Poles make a
most nourishing porridge with boiling
milk and buckwheat greats. Although
largely used in this way by our for
eign population, we have yet to know
of it even being tried by Americans.
Results point out that we should
vary our diet to keep in perfect health.
and although we may not at first take
kindly to change of cereals, still this,
like any other habit, can be cultivated.

AN ELECTRIC HEATER
Shocks Woman Passenger on Troll
ley Car and Turns Hair White.
Her Foot Comes I'm Contact with the
Heater and She Is Thrown to
Other Side of Car by the
Shock.

A patch of white hair near the right
temple accentuates the glossy brown
hair of Mrs. Herbert Gerry, of Is Frank
lin street, East Orange. N. j., though
gray hairs are beginning to appear.
These changes, together with nerv-
BUSINESS which physicians declare will
take months to overcome, are ascribed
to shock from an electric heater in Il
trolley car. Mrs. Gerry, with her two
nieces, Miss Josephine and Miss EDNA
Gerry, and Mrs. Fanny Coulter were
out calling in Orange. When they
started home they took trolley car
that ran only as far as the company's
stables at Dodd and Washington
streets. Here they transferred to a
car which runs to Bloomfield. The car
started almost as soon as they entered.
AS the motorman turned on the current
Mrs. Gerry felt peculiar sensation in
her right leg. She was standing at the
time in front of one of the electric
heaters in the car. Mrs. Gerry was
thrown to the opposite side of the car
AS she fell to her seat the other occu-
pants of the car ran to her assistance.
1t seemed to her as though her bones
had melted, and the inner muscles of
her body quivered like jelly, though the
outside muscles were as firm as iron.
The distance from the carhouse to
the home of her brother-in-law L. II.
Gerry. in Dodd street. where Mrs. Gerry
had intended TO stop, is not great.
When the car reached the house she
alighted and was helped into the house.
There were three white ridges on her
leg. Mr.. Gerry was called and took his
wife home in sleigh. Since then she
has been attended by physicians.
Sunday" said Mr.. Gerry. Il noticed
that my wife had white spot of hair
over her right temple. Since then
have noticed streaks of gray hair. OF
course. we believe this is due to her hav-
ing received such an electrical shock.
Mrs. Gerry has been very nervous ever
since the accident, and fear it will be
long time before she fully RECEIVERS"
One of the officers of the Orange &
Passaic Valley railroad said that the
shock could not have been given by the
metal part of the radiator coming in
contact with woman's heavy skirts.

Excessive Use of Salt.

A medical Journal advises against the
excessive use of salt. 1t is first of all
perversion of taste, the condiment de-
stroying the flavor of delicate dishes
il too pronounced. Furthermore. it is
asserted that an excessive use of salt
seriously overtaxes the kidneys to re-
move it. and that many cases of de-
rangement and disease are due to this
excessive use. The salt habit, it is
edded. is easily acquired, and persons
INDUCING themselves soon reach a
point where nothing is palatable that
is not strongly impregnated with salt.
