LONDON, July 2.-Hygienists who
delight in raising alarms against pop
Mar foods, are now fitting against
strawberries. These are accused OF
having a bad effect upon the tempers
of their eaters, who, it is alleged, be-
come suIky and irritable after eating
them.

ladies are particularly susceptible IN
this respect. Some of them will eat
a mound or more of strawberries at a
time and then become so morose that
naople are glad to avoid them.
The fact is they are physically III
without knowing it. They are suffer-
mo from the strawberry disease, the

Household Notes

A brush dipped in salt water should
be used in cleaning bamboo furniture.
zee
White paint should be cleaned with
warm water, using a trifle whiting on
the cloth, then rinsing with clear water.
Add a well beaten white of an egg to
mashed potatoes, whipping the potato
hard before dishing it. This makes it
look well and taste better.
Never put turpentine on paint or var
nish, as it viii dissolve it as soon as it
touches it. It's volatile nature makes it
cut grease in the same way.
zee
To set delicate colors in an embroid-
cred handkerchief soak ten minutes pre-
vious to washing in a pail of tepid
water in which a dessertspoonful of
turpentine has been stirred.
Not only the bathtub but the wash
bowl can be quickly cleaned of the
dark rim showing the water line by
using a cloth moistened with gasoline
especially when HARD water is used.
Plaster casts may be cleaned by rub
bing all over with a mixture of bees
wax. turpentine and ammonia. All the
dirt will come off when this polish IS
removed, first with a brush and finally
with a soft cloth.
When starching anything with a
fringe. double the article in four parts,
gather fringe tightly in the hand, and
hold If while you dip middle in starch.
When dry shake the fringe well and
comb with a coarse comb.
A child's pique hat IS somewhat hard
to launder, unless put on the edge of
the board and irOned entirely on the
wrong side. Work the point of the
iron in around the crown. Use sew
eral thicknesses of flannel underneath.
To clean a stove, soak some corncobs
in coal oil. Place two or three cobs I'M
der the top lids and under the oven,
then close hampers and light the cobs.
They will burn the SCOT out clean. A
damp day is the best time, as then
danger of fire is less.
Many women think table linen looks
better and wears longer if one quart OF
boiled starch, to which a shaving or
two of white soap is added while boil
ing, is added to the last rinsing water.
The irons will not stick, but the goods
will have the slight stiffness of new
cloth.
A flower whose stem IS not long
enough to reach the bottom of vase
may be stuck through hole in the
center of a circular piece of cardboard,
cut a little larger than the top of the
vase. Thus the stem is in the water,
but the flowers and leaves are raised
to the proper height.
A custard can not be boiled. Boiling
at once curdles the egg, But custard

Eustace Miles, the tennis player, as
a vegetarian dietist confirms the dam

He says they contain three acids,
phosphoric, sulphuric and silicic. He

Katzen bach's Reply to Chat
ham Query--ShOuId Not
OverShadOw Oiher Issues.
From a star correspondent.l

CHATHAM, Oct. 1O.4Frank S.
Katzenbach, jr., the Democratic ghber-
Material candidate, will say nothing for
the present on the excise question. He
made thiss statement todays
Il believe that the dragging of this
issue into the present campaign at
this time would o~vershadow our other
issues, among them more important
ones, and I shall have nothing further
to say on the subject until. in my
judgment, the time has come to speak"
Some statement of the candidates at
titude on the excise question was
forced upon him at the first meeting in
Morris County today. when he stopped
for a few minutes to speak to fifty or
sixty persons at the Chatham Fish and
Game Club. Mr.. Katzenbach had been
talking for a few minute when a voice,
that of William H. Miller, broke out
softly from the audience: How do you
stand on local %option?"
THAT depends" replied the candi-
date.
Il mean Sunday selling" called out
Miller.
IF you are a Democrat the candiy
date went on, and place the question
squarely before me. l will answer you
this way: The time to take up this
subject has not come"
"We1l,'' said Miller from the back
seat. Fort has now spoken. I think
both candidates should declare them
selves. Seems to me that you don't
say anything" went on Miller. You
ask If I am a Democrat. l don't know.
1 voted for Bryan and | voted for
Roosevelt, because he is a man who
speaks straight from the shoulder
That closed the incident. The candi-
date her spoke on the other issues of
the day.
Democraoy's choice was given an en-
thusiastic greeting here. He was met by
a. committee consisting of DR.. William j.
Wolf. Irving Harmon, candidate for Sen
ator; Bernard Murphy. Arthur Fl. Bart

the next Governor by many people.
The touring car of Mr.. Katzenbach
reached Menham at 1890 o'clock today
and the candidate and his party took
luncheon at the Inn. The repast over,

the voters, holding personal interviews
with all with whom he came in contact.
A l~rge crowd gathered around the Inn

BILL
CONDEMNED
BY BOARD
Senate Measure Too Weak
to Be Effective House
Amended Bill.

Considerable doubt was expressed TO-
day by Newark business and profess
sional men as to the Significance of the
action of the Board of Trade last night
in condemning the public utilities bill
that is now before the Legislature for
anal disposition. 1t is understood why
the Board of Trade should condemn
the hill in the shape in which the
Senate passed the bill. but the doubt
\ rises when it is considered thai the
House of Assembly amended the Dill
last week so that it practically con-
tains all the suggestions of the local
Trade Board.
THE public utilities committee of the
Trade Board, in a long report last
night. signed by Alderman William L.
Martin. its chairman, roundly scored
the Senate bill and passed resolutions
condemning it, and ordering that copies
IF the condemnatory resolution be sent
to every member of the Legislature.
The reason given for the attack upon
the bill is that the commission 1t would
create would be merely advisory and
of no utility, while the bill as amended
and passed in the House of Assembly
is in accord with the boards desires.
The purpose of the resolution Is per-
hans TO have the Senate accept the
House amendments.
The board objects particularly TO the
public review feature of the Senate Dill
and to the proposition that the commits
sion. under the Senate bill. would nave
no power to punish violators by I'M
prisonment. The Senate bill provided
that a violation of any of the provisions
of the act shall be construed as a mis-
demeanor.
President Peter Campbell, in putting
the motion for the adoption of the re-
port of the committee and the con-
demnatory resolutions. warned the
members that the matter was an I'M
portant one, but it was carried at once
bv a loud chorus of ayes against a
few nays"
Tbe resolutions in 'art are as follows
Resolved, First, that we condemn and
ask for the rejection of Senate bill NO.
Second. That this board demands, in the
nam, Of the citizens of this State. the
enactment of a bill which will provide
for the creation of an efficient Public
Utilities Commission with ample powers
TO enforce its orders and to compel the
use of safety appliances and the giving OF
ADEQUATE service on all trolley and steam
railroads. also he power to regulate anu
control capitalization, rates and service.
publicity and uniformity or accounts OF
all electric light. gas, heat, power, water;
oil. pipe lines. telephone, telegraph, and all
other transportation and Transmission com
panies.
Third. That such bill shall vest in the
commission authority to enforce its "
orders, subject only to a review by the
court on the grounds of upconstitution-
atty, and should provide for the irnpo-
sition Of penalties. including imprisonment,
for evasion, contempt. or violation of the
statute.
Fourth. That my act passed shall pro-
vide for the repeal of the law creating the
State Railroad Commiss on and the Potable
Waters Commission and that all the
duties conferred upon these commissions
be vested In the said public utilities COM

Hudson Ca. Is Pushing
Plans to Sell Water to
Staten Island
HEAD OF COMPANY TALKS
That Kill Won Kull
Mains Are to Carry "Aux.
iliary S"pply".-Seems to
Think State Law Won't
Halt Them.
HEAD OF COMPANY TALKS

Determined that it will ultimately
win its fight and thereby evade the New
Jersey law prohibiting the delivery OF
potable water beyond the boundary oil
the State, the Hudson County Water
Company has more than half of its
mains laid across the Kill Won Kull
from Bergen Point, Bayonne, to West
New Brighton, Staten Island. and is
now rushing the york in an effort tc
get it completed before litigation
stops it.
Two thirty-inch pipes are being laid
in conformity with the terms of the
amended contract between the COM
pany and the officials of the city of
New York, as was set forth in the
EVENING STAR on Saturday last, and
a gang of twenty men is working dill
gently to finish the job before cold
weather sets in. These pipes are to be
connected with the company's pipes al
ready laid in Bayonne.
Officials of the company exerted every
effort to shield this information from
the public, and when interrogated re-
fused to commit themselves, but when
confronted with a statement to the eff
feet that pipes were being laid, they
admitted that the work was being done
by the company.
According to Turner A. Beall, presi-
lent of the Hudson County Water
Company, these pipes are to be used to
carry an AUXILIARY supply of water To
the residents of Staten Island" the
main supply, he said, being obtained
on the island from the two sources of
supply now being used.
These supplies, according to Mr..
Beall, are both inferior, and the resi-
dents are constantly complaining about
the hardness of the water. They also
complain that it is impossible to obtain
water at the high points on the island,
and some say that they must send1their
families to New York and Brooklyn
when they desire to take a bath.
Mr.. Beall also claimed that ne had
not determined upon the source of the
~sub-surface supply he would draw upor
to fulfil the terms of his contract witt
New York city. He said that probably
the would drive wells on Long
Island and lay it's pipes from thai
island to Staten Island, across the mar
rows, but present indications point to
the company securing its supply from
New Jersey in defiance Of the law
In an interview secured several days
ago Mr.. Beall said that the opinion
of the New Jersey Court of Errors and
Appeals held that it is legal to deliver
outside the boundaries of the
State ''sub-surface water taken from
any source The water company Off
cial laid great stress on the word ANY
and minated that it would be perfect
ly legal to purchase its supply de-
livered in pipes, contending that this
is derived from a sub-surface source
According to information secured
these pipes will be laid to the Slater
Island shore in a few weeks, at which
time they will probably be connected
with the mains already laid in thu
streets of West New Brighton, ant
water from New Jersey will Inn
mediately begin to flow through then
in defiance of the potable water law.
