JUDGE MAY SERVE
IS SUBSTITUTE.

The Supreme Court heard arguments
yesterday which involve the right of
a substitute judge to take part in the
reconsideration of any case with
which he has not been connected. At
the time the case of Reeve against
the Colusa Gas and Electric Company
was decided, Justice McFarlane of the
Supreme Court was sick, and Justice
Harrison Of the District Court of Ap-
peal was appointed to take his place.
Later, when Justice McFarlane had re-
turned to his duties, the Supreme
Court granted rehearing of the case
on the petition of the defendants, who
had lost the original suit. The plain
tiffs contend that this action was not
legal on the ground that Justice Nc
Farlane was not familiar with the rea-
sons upon which was based the orig
inal decision.
Similar cases have been known in
various States, but the decisions are
so varied that it is deemed difficult to
accept them as guides. John CARRIER
made an eloquent plea yesterday for
the plaintiff, while G.. w. McEnerney
and W. B. Treadwell argued in behalf
of the defendants.
The rehearing of the case cannot
proceed until after the question con-
cerning the right Of Justice McFarlane
is settled. The decision in the latter
case Will probably be settled by the
Supreme Court in a few days.

SKILLED WORKMEN
ARE MUCH NEEDED
Relief Work Hindered by
Lack of Men to Build Cot
tages and Complete Jobs

Through lack of skilled men, the
relief work is being hindered materi-
ally Plumbers cannot be obtained in
sufficient numbers to complete the cot
tages for the refugees without con-
siderable delay, and now a failure on
the part of roofers to do their work
as planned, has delayed the prepara-
tion of the new additions to the head
quarters at Cough and. Geary streets.
The relief headquarters were crowd
ed yesterday more than they have been
for a long time. The refugees filed
all the Railways, and as the new Offices
were not ready for use, the entire de-
partment was almost unable to attend
to the wants of all who applied. Only
an average number of people can be
accommodated until the new rooms are
completed.

FOOD LAW WORRIES
LOCAL DEALERS.
Michaels Says Hardship
Will Be Caused Here
by Strict Construction
ACT SOON EFFECTIVE

Rigid construction of the national
food and drug law by the Federal Gov
ernment will result in hardship to San
Francisco. The business men are hop
ing for liberal construction at the
start. In the East merchants and
vice. Dealers are required to certify
to the purity of foods and drugs and
that they conform to the legal require
ments. This is manifestly impossible
These and other statements were
made yesterday by Henry Michaels of
the Langley-Michaels wholesale drug
house.
Il would suggest said Michaels,
that the manufacturers are the ones
to certify as to purity and conformity
The dealers take the goods from the
manufacturers. All they know about
the quality is what the manufacturers
say"
Michaels' idea is likely to take root.
Many business men believe that he is
right. No concerted action has been
taken in this city to make representa-
tions to Washington. The national
food law will take effect January l
next. 1t provides regulations concern
ing drugs, proprietary foods, confec-
tionery, the use of preservatives and
coloring substances, the nature of raw
materials blends, names, branding,
substitution, the use of waste ma
terials in compound, etc.
Gamers. druggists and dealers in
food products in San Francisco are
concerned largely, as the date for the
effectiveness of the new law is but
few weeks off.
The Government has prepared regu-
lations for the instruction of parties in
interest, but these leave much to be
guessed at and scores of San Francisco
business men are in active correspond
consequence.
Michaels says, and other business
men indorse the view. that the food law
is probably the most comprehensive
in its effect upon business of any
measure that has ever been adopted
in this or any other country. Copies
of the governmental regulations under
the law have been secured by the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce for
distribution.

CLOSING Of OCEAN
AVENUE OPPOSED.
Lakeside Property Owners
Protest Against Resolu-
ton Of the Supervisors
NO BIDS FOR BONDS

Seventy property owners and resi-
dents of Lakeside district near Ingle-
side filed with the Board of Super
visors yesterday protest against the
resolution of intention to close Ocean
avenue from Corbett avenue to Ocean
boulevard on the ground that the clos
ing of the avenue will cause great de-
probation in the value, present and
prospective, of the properties of the
protestants. It is stated that Ocean ave-
nue. has been dedicated and used as
public thoroughfare from time immem-
orial and that it's continuance as such
is necessary for the welfare of the
public.
Yesterday was the date set by the
Board of Supervisors for the recep-
ton of bids for municipal bonds to
the amount of $1.087,200 for new sew
ers and s4S6000 for new pavements,
but for some reason not explained no
bids were filed at the meeting. The
board thereupon adopted another reso-
luton fixing December II as the
date when proposals for the bonds will
be received in the hope that better
luck will attend the second invitation
S. V. Costello, attorney for the asso-
citation of teachers councils of San
Francisco. filed with the board a
lengthy argument against the present
cut in the salaries of teachers and urg-
ing the board to authorize the Board
of Education to incur extraordinary
expenditures in excess of the annual
limit He also urged that the Super
visors transfer to the common school
fund sufficient money to liquidate such
expenditures. and provide for meeting
the same in the next tax levy The
communication says
"The present occasion is one that
imperatively demands the exercise of
these emergency powers. The public
school teachers are admittedly much
overworked and underpaid. The re-
duction of teachers salaries at time
like this when rentals and the neces-
stiles of life are soaring skyward is
the inffiction of unnecessary hardship
upon a class of faithful public serv-
ants and neither this administration
nor any other can safely commit it
self to such a policy
The communication was referred to
the educational committee.
Similar action was taken on the pc
tition of residents and property own
ers in the vicinity of Beacon and Gil
rard streets that the South End school
be erected as soon as possible
The ordinance granting to F. A
Healy a temporary permit to lay a
pipe line in and along Polk and Frank
lin streets and Van Ness avenue for
the purpose of supplying steam heat
to the stores and offices in the new
retail district was finally passed. The
temporary permit is for the purpose
of installing the service before the
cold weather sets in, it being under
stood that the board will shortly in
vite bids for the sale of a franchise
for the project.

OLD BANK TO BE
GIVEN NEW NAME
Commercial Bank and Trust
: Concern Will Become
the Scandinavia Savings

A petition for change of name of the
Commercial Bank & Trust Co. to The
Scandinavia Savings Bank was fled
yesterday in the Office of the county
clerk by Charles Nelson, Lewis !. Cow
gill, w. n. Little and j. c. Eschen, a
majority of the board of directors of
the institution.
The Commercial Bank & Trust Co.
was originally the Bank of Temple
ton, organized August II, 1889, but on
December 5, 1902, adopted it's present
name. The directors of the bank own
all the stock and are also the directors
of the candinavian-America Saw
ings Bank which is now being con-
verted into a national banking instf-
tuition under the name of The Mer-
chants National Bank of San Fran
cisco. 1t is the wish of the directors
to retain the word Scandinavia in the
designation of the institution as many
of the depositors and stockholders are
Scandinavians, and to drop the word
Trust from the title as the new insti-
tuition will not deal in trusts. The
remaining directors are Martin San
ders, Henry Wilson and Albert Sut-
ton.

Collision With Streetcar, Escapes
With Slight Injuries.

c. w Turner, who lives at the corner
of Tenth and Harrison streets. is a

horse ran away. The front wheel of
the brick laden wagon passed over
Turner's neck and the hind wheel rolled

IN BAGGAGE OF CITIZENS $
Seattle Collector Thinks Frank j. Morse

baggage of Frank j. Morse. returned
from the Orient, who shipped his
trunks from Seattle to this city in bond
and claimed 500 exemption each for
himself, his wife and his child on their

Morse was in the habit of making a
yearly trip to the Orient, that he was
an art dealer and that, therefore. the
s100 personal exemption Of duty on his
baggage should not be allowed.
Morse made affidavit yesterday that
this was his first trip to the Orient in
three years. Deputy Collector Farley
has recommended that the exemption
be allowed on baggage of Morse and
wife, but not on that of the child.

of Works, Inspector Stitt filed a report
that the lighting corporations were
not complying with the boards order

Care of ChamoIs.

To keep chamois leather in good
condition it must be kept clean. When
soiled, take three pints of tepid rain
water and add four tablespoonfuls of
ammonia. Leave the leather in this
for an hour, then work it well with
a wooden spoon, pressing out as much
as possible. When nearly clean, rinse
into another pan with tepid rain water
and rub well with the hands until
clean. Repeat the process IN sew
eral waters until all the dirt is re-
moved Hang in the shade to dry,
and rub between the hands until the
leather is perfectly soft.

Comfort in the Sewing Room.

The more important things that
will make sewing room a comfort
and a pleasure are an old pier-glass,
which can either be hung or mounted,
and if possible a piece of furniture OF
the dresser variety, which will give
a mirror opposite. This can be turned
to afford full-length view of both
back and front of the figure. A kitch.
en- table long enough to hold skirt,
with an extra leaf along the back, SO
that it can be made square for cutting
out circular skirts or capes is also
an addition. Then a scrap basket,
work baskets, and hamper in which
to keep rolls of lining and materials
which may be wanted at any moment,
with low folding table, low and a
high chaiE, and the machine and
your sewing room is properly
equipped. The presence of a Judy"
or padded form, and a tree rack, OF
which half-fnished garments can be
hung, is also of great ccLysnience.

Meat Insoection In Paris.

There are in Paris three principal
abattoirs, the largest of which, La
Vilette," is in the northern quarter of
the city; Vanguard" which was
opened in 1898, and replaced the old
slaughter-house of Grenelle; and "Vil-
lejuif," where horses are slain for
food. Any butcher may slaughter ami
mails at these abattoirs on payment of
tax of francs (40 cents) hundred
Kilograms (220 pounds) on the meat
80 prepared. Butchers of the more
important class and specially licensed
are permitted to sell the meat which
they have thus provided directly to
the smaller dealers who keep retail
meat stores throughout the city. In
spectors are in constant attendance
and any meat found infected with dis
ease or otherwise unfit for food is sat
urated with petroleum and condemned.
Prior to the year 1910 the butchers of
Paris slaughtered animals in the
streets and public squares, but at that
time municipal slaughter houses
"abattoirs established where
animals intended for human food are
inspected and the whole process Of
slaughtering and disposal of the meat
and offal are kept under official sur
veillance.

IT'S THE FOOD.
The True Way to Correct Nervous
Troubles.

Nervous troubles are more often
caused by improper food and indiges-
tion than most people imagine. Even
doctors sometimes overlook this fact.
A man says:
Until two years ago waff1es and
butter with meat and gravy were the
main features of my breakfast. Final
ly dyspepsia came on and found my
self in bad condition, worse in the
morning than any other time. I would
have full, sick feeling in my stom-
ach, with pains in my heart, sides and
head.
cat times / would have no appetite
for days, then l would feel ravenous,
never satisfied when l did eat and so
nervous l felt like shrieking at the
top of my voice. I lost flesh badly
and hardly knew which way to turn
until one day | bought box of Grape
Nuts food to see if l could eat that.
I tried it without telling the doctor,
and liked it fine; made me feel as If
| had something to eat that was salts
flying and still I didn't have that
heaviness that I had felt after eating
any other food.
II hadn't drank any coffee then in
five weeks. | kept on with the Grape
Nuts and in a month and half I had
gained IS pounds, could eat almost
anything I wanted, didn't feel badly
after eating and my nervousness was
all gone. It's a pleasure to be well
again"

SEVERAL USES FOR SALT.
Of More Value Than Merely to Serve
as Continent.

Here are several uses for salt: Put
pinch in the eggs you are beating
and they will be light in much
shorter time.
Sprinkle it on the fire and you will
gain the blue flame so much desired
for broiling steaks or chops.
Sprinkle it in the bottom Of the
oven and your cakes will not burn.
Pour it quickly on spilled claret or
ink, and it will absorb most or all
of the liquid before it has time to
stain.
Salt makes an excellent toothpow.
der, but it is not advisable to use II
daily, as it will spoil the enamel ii
used too frequently. Still, an occa.
sional brushing with it is recon.
mended.
Sprinkle it on the Goals and shake
your damp, uncurled ostrich feathers
over the fumes, and the tendrils will
curl up smartly.
Battle your tired eyes in salt and
water and you will be astonished at
the strength it gives them.
A pinch of salt improves cakes,
candies, and almost everything that
Is cooked.
