TABLOID RESTAURANT
Where Meals May Be Obtained in
Capsules.
TFrom the Brooklyn Eag1e.l


Brooklyn now revels in the distinc-
ton of possessing the second tabloid
restaurant ever established. The first
began its career in Manhattan few
weeks ago. A tabloid restaurant it
should be understood. is a restaurant
where food is served in condensed form
where the patron may take a square
meal in a lOzenge that may be SWal-
lowed at a. single gulp- Or he can have
his dinner in a capsule, if he prefers it
that way But it must be said that
most people, even those who suffi-
GENTLY up-to-date to patrOniZe a tab
loid restaurant. became SO addicted to
eating in early life that they find it
hard to abandon the practice. Thus it
happens that at the tabloid restaurant
most patrons prefer their food lozenges
diluted with water-SO it will last long
er, perhaps
The tabloid restaurant was made pos
sible by the recent invention of com
pressed foods few years ago. Com
pressed foods were supposed to be de-
sirable only as an emergency ration.
but some enterprising individual found
that the compressed foods would appeal
to certain portion of the public even
where there was an abundance of rest
aurants of the ordinary type Hence
the tabloid restaurant The place is on
fulton street almost directly opposite
the bridge entrance, and it is already
patronized by a large and growing class
Of well dressed and intelligent people.
The restaurant is small and unpreten-
tlous, Out II Is kept exQulSIJeIy neat and
clean Curtains screen the interior
from the gaze of the curious on the
street and they are really needed, for
there is always a fringe of small boys
trying to peer in and learn just wha
kind of human beings they are who
prefer quality to quantity when it
comes to such a vital question as food.
On one side of the restaurant interior
is the usual array of tables. the linen
almost sparkling in its starchy white
ness, while on the other side is counter
extending down the whole length of the
place and on which are ranged bottles,
cans and packages of the compressed
foods.

POOR BOY EAGER TO LEARN
Begs Police to Send Him to Reform
School For That Purpose.

Newark, Dec. 14.-"Please send me to
the Reform school," said poorly dress
ed Italian boy to Sergeant Adams in the
Second precinct police station this
morning; Il can't get chance to study
if you don't.
He said he was Rosso Jenetto of Bald
win street, Glen Ridge, and that he was
10 years old. Once he had been sent to
school, but the teacher sent him homo
because he had no shoes. Since then,
he said, he had been doing odd jobs ami
giving his earnings to his parents. He
said he had asked his father yesterday
to send him to school. but the request
had been refused.
He had been threat tened with being
sent to the Reform school by a man
who had objected to his lettering near
his house He inquired about that in
stitution and found that boys learned
trades there. Rosso at once decided that
that was the place for him.
The lad was sent to superintendent
Kimball, of the Children's Aid society,
who sent him back to Montclair with
note to the chief of police, advising that
a priest there be asked to use his infiu
ence to get the boy into the Arlington
Protectory, as he is a. Roman Catholic.
