Look to the Furnaces.

Furnace time Is about at hand. Some
householders have already started their
heating apparatus while others are relying
on CRATES and gas stoves for temporary
comfort. If the furnace has not already
been cleaned, 1t should be thoroughly over
hauled at once, before the sharp weather
of autumn demands it's use regularly. The
smoke fiues should be cleaned out to give
the furnace a good draft and when the fires
are started the hot-air fues-if this style
of furnace is used-should be Immediately
all thrown open, together with the win
dows, and the heat allowed to circulate
freely from pipes to the outer air for sew
eral hours. This may seem like a waste of
fuel, but 1t is excellent precaution
against sickness. The air fiues have been
out of service for several months and have
accumulated considerable dust, which, with
the first flow of hot air through the pipes,
will enter the living rooms of the house
and endanger the health of all it's occu-
pants This dust comes from both house
and street. 1t carries an infinite variety of
dormant bacterial life. some OF which Is
harmful. The germs that cause "colds" are
probably there in quantities, awaiting a
chance to lodge in the respiratory men,
branes and set up In the business Of re-

The Bread Rate.

Bakers sometimes express their astonish-
n,ent at the Indignation of the customers
when the price of bread is increased from
i've to six cents loaf. 1t is SUCH shght
advance, they say; only penny. And they
point to the fact that the price of eggs ana
that of butter and of meat and other table
necessities is constantly fuctuating, and
II ey cannot see why the price or bread
should not shift about in obedience to the
variations of the wheat market in the same
manner. They forget or ignore the fact
that the addition of one cent TO the bread
price is an advance of twenty per cent,
while the addition of a penny to the egg
price may be ami often is only three or four
o. five per cent advance. They overlook the
law IF proportion which operates in this as
in other trade matters.
Reference to the files of The Star of 1898,
when the same situation existed tie bak-
'ers attempting TO add a penny to the bread
price because of a bull movement in wheat,
VIII show that the price of -four then was
just what it is claimed that IL is today The
public then did lot agree to the proposition
that it should pay disproportionate share
of the advance in the cost of wheat and
flour 1t took to baking its own bread and
the bakers quickly yielded from their con-
lentlOn ana the lNe-cenl Idte was CoIlIIlutu
in vogue. This same expedient can easily
he resorted to ~ housekeepers today as a
means of preventing injustice
The domestic baker can make bread
many believe better bread-at a cost of less
than five cents a loaf. The housewife has
her cook stove in operation almost con-
star tly. Thus fuel does not enter into the
equation. Buying -four by the barrel. which
f. by far the better way in any event, she
can make as many loaves of bread the
manufacturer. She does not pay for labor
IT, the bake room-beyond the ordinary
wages of her servant-or for the hire of
drivers and the maintenance of horses and
wagons. She does not pay the grocer's
profit.
In proportion as the housekeepers sought
this means of relief from an over charge on
bread, the bakers would be inclined to con-
slider their side of the case instead of seek
ing to fix the rate arbitrarily and to throw
the whole cost of increased wheat and flour
prices upon the consumer. The remedy is
really in the HANDS of the people.

Street Car Brakes.

In the light of the two street railway
accidents on the local lines this week the
question has arisen in some mindS Whethef
the time has not come to ask for the adop-
ton of air brakes on these roads. Had the
car that overturned at the corner OF am
and T streets been equipped with reliable
air brake 1t is probable that it would not
have jumped the track, even If the motor
man did not as he claimed, know OF the
nearness of the curve. Such brake as Is
in use in the cities of Detroit. Pittsburg and
Norfolk and doubtless others, would have
stopped the car from full speed within
half its length, If the sand boxes were
filled. Such a brake would also have pre-
vented the Laurel accident, on the same
presumption But no brake will serve on
slippery rails if the sand boxes are empty
as it is to be feared is often the case on
the local lines.
Heretofore the local street railway au-
thorities have urged that the air brake is
not yet sufficiently perfect to warrant its
adoption. But there is evidence at hand
that in these three cities named, at least,
it is regarded as sufficiently perfect to JUS
tify its use. In Detroit it works admirably.
The speed regulation there is peculiar.
Cars must not make the round trip within
the city limits inside of a certain mini
mum of time. This minimum permits them
to speed at from fifteen to twenty miles
hour on some stretches. The air brakes
check them reliably at crossings, and. in
deed, the lines could not be run with their
present Roadway without some such brake
as this. In Pittsburg the heavy grades
could not be managed without the air
brake.
The repeated assertion of motormen that
their hand brakes would not work must be
given some credence, for 1t is not to be
believed that these car operators would
ignore so vitality important a detail in an
emergency unless indeed 1t is assumed
that the motormen as a class are incom-
petent With this showing of unreliable
hand brakes it Is by no means a grave
risk to adopt the air brake, whose per-
centage of failures certainly cannot be
higher than that of the old-style device.
Washing toms street railway equipment
has heretofore been considered as one of
the finest in the United States in certain
respects, whatever the service granted to
the people on some of the branches may
be. 1t should not be permitted,to fall short
of possible improvement in this important
item of brakes, upon which the lives Of
thousands hourly depend

Love Barred as a Topic.
The following interesting news item
from the New York Sun:

The following interesting news item is
from the New York Sun:
"A man we'll advanced in years is almost
daily visitor To Central Park He is gem
orally accompanied by "a young woman.
Some Of the park employees who observed
the two thought they were father and
daughter.
after a while ii was noticed that a DIFF
ferent young woman appeared with the
man about every two weeks 1t was not
possible that any man could have so many
daughters. y person of an inquisitive turn
OF mind constituted himself an investigator
This is what he learned:
The old man Is a person of means, and
he pays 90 cents an hour for the society of
any young woman of education who is will
Ing to accompany him and entertain him on
his rambles through the park with bright
conversation on any topic but love. As
they pass about six hours a day in the
park the girl earns 81 a day just by talk
ing. The different objects In the park evil
IDENTITY supply the themes of discourse.
Why the man changes his escort every
two weeks remains mystery Perhaps
young woman talks herself out in that
time. Maybe he thinks it best to take no
chances"
Here may be sly old codger figuring in
an original way on securing wife. He
may be reserving the topic of love for him
self, to be introduced in his own time II his
fair companion, warned away from it, can
make other topics sufficiently interesting to
win his favor. In that event he either must
be very hard to please-for women as a rule
