A PROFIT-SHARING RESTAURANT
Institution Run on a Simple Plan That
is Also Successful.
New York Commercial.

New YORK Commercial.
A restaurant in which every worker from
dishwasher upward is an equal partner Is
being run with success on the most primi-
tive of business principles right in the
heart of one of Manhattan's busiest dis
tricts There is no expensive system of
bookkeeping. or a cashiers salary to add to
the weekly expenditures. A cash register
takes care of the days receipts, which are
gathered up at night into a good old-fash-
ioned money bag and each Monday even
ing a business meeting is held where
general settling up takes place Enough
money is put aside to run the establishment
for another week, and a thoroughly i'm
partial division is made of the remainder.
Heads are counted and the sum divided to a
cent into as many portions as there are
persons present.
There is a head TO the establishment who
does the buying and general supervision,
subject always to the criticism of the Mon
day night council, which unlike some gov
ernments does not deny woman the right
to vote Says recent newspaper descrip-
tion of this establishment: 1.-The voice of
the old dame who may just have finished
scrubbing up the kitchen floor is as potent
in deciding the next weeks course as that
enterprise. and only by the full consent is
any new measure undertaken.
Everything is run on the same primitive
principles. even applicants for situations not
being required to bring references q to
character, ability or sObriety, or ANYTHING
whatever. il is enough that n man or
woman is hungry and in need of work. A
weeks trial is given on these terms three
square meals and enough money to paw for
a decent lodging. Then at the following
business meeting the qualifica tions of the
new applicant are discussed. The hive can
not afford to shelter any drones but If the
least promise Is displayed he she is put to
the work for which the aptitude is shown
and then is reckoned as being on half
time" A few weeks later he becomes a
trustee which really means full and equal
sharer in the work and in the profits
Five years ago the restaurant was
started n bakery in a cellar from which
food products were sent out to a few
families in the neighborhood. Then the
first floor was added as a place from
which to sell over the counter and tables
were put in for the accommodation of
guests. The second floor is now devoted
to printing establishment. where the daily
menus are got up. and the upper part has
been converted into sleeping rooms. so the
whole house is now used in place of the
cellar the original starting point.
Food is sent out TO families in Harlem
and other remote points, though the es-
adjustment is on the lower west side
These are people who formerly lived i'm the
vicinity and grew accustomed to the bread
and cake and baked beans which are put
up in ways of which this restaurant makes
a speciality.

PUT ON FRAUD LIST.
The MagnO-Electric Vitalizer De-
clared a Bogus Cure-All.

The Magn0-Electric Vitalizer De-
clared a Bogus Cure-All.
On complaint of Thomas A. Edison,
the world famous inventor, the Post
office Department at Washington, D. @.
has issued a fraud order against the
Thomas A. Edison Jr., Chemical Com
pany of New York.
The company offered for sale a device
styled "The Magno-E Electric Vitalizer,"
which consisted principally of an al.
legged electric battery. The Patent
Office refused to patent the device when
application was made in February. 1908,
on the ground that the battery con-
sisted Of only two plates Of copper with
an interposing calculated blotting
paper, which the examiners pronounced
imperative because there was nowhere
any relation between copper and zinc
as required by battery cells. Altera'
tons were suggested by the Patent
Office as to requirements for the bat.
terry, but they were not satisfactory to
the examiners. and a second application
for a patent was also refused.
As many Eurekans can testify the
Thomas Edison Jr. Chemical Company
advertised its Magno-E Electric Vitalizer
extensively, and it will crafty them
to learn that it is and always has been
a fraud, that worked the trusting public
through the exploitation of the magic
name of Edison.
One of the statements sent broadcast
by the company said that Young Ed.
son had refused $3.50. 900 for his inven-
ton. 1t is said also that young Edison
had inherited the inventive genius OF
his father, but devoted it to the n
Of humanity. proving his philanthropy
by Offering the Magno-E Electric Vitalizer
for sale at COSTS. Readers Of the adj
vertlsement are invited to send a de-
~scription of their ailments to the Thomas
A. Edison Jr. Company's address, and 1t
is shown by the evidence submitted that
responses were sent to these to the effect
that young Edison had found the
symptoms described such as could be
cured by his invention.

The attempt to drag Senator Stewart
into the canvass as a candidate for the
United States Senate in Disguise after
he has withdrawn from politics. is be-
ing offset by q INT that Governor
Sparks is to be thrown down in his
candidacy for that Office. The Carson
News of Oct. II says the scheme is
''that in case Governor Sparks succeeds
in electing a majority of Democrats to
the Legislature that a deadlock will be
worked up against him in the interest
Of Mr.. Sharon.
Commenting on this the News says:
1--WE feel confident that there are many
supporters of Governor Sparks who
would be pleased to know that the
managers of the Sharon estate would
not attempt to use a Legislature elected
for him. but that. they would cordially
and in good faith support him to the

At a recent speech in Virginia City
Congressman Van Duzer spoke Of the
delight the Republican press took in
connecting him with wildcat mining
schemes" reports the Virginia Chron-
icle of Oct. 10. and says that Van Duzer
then proceeded to show up various min

Yerington. his Republican opponent for
Congress, as some of the worst wild.
cat mining schemes" that have ever
been launched in Nevada.
The Carson News started the attack
and charged Van Duzer with represent.
ing that the New England Tonopah is a
good mine when it is a rank fake.
This it declares should defeat him.
The Carson Appeal replying to the at
tack Of the News, throws the limelight
on Mr.. Yerington's record in the fol.
lowing:
Will the News tell something Of the
mining fakes that Jim Yerington work.
ed off on the Eastern public in Esmer'
aida County? They are all fakes and
the biggest Of them all was the Nc.
Kinley mine deal in White Pine
County. Jim used the name of the
lamented dead to bate suckers with.
The mine roped in thousands of limo
cent people who invested because they
thought that Mrs. Mckinley was one Of
the stockholders. The News has sprung
