Titus moved and Mrs. Warren missed

CITY WATER MAINS ADVOCATED.

PATTERSON, Feb. City Counsel
Mercy, a member of the special muni-
cipal water supply committee, stated
yesterday that nc matter what system
of water supply was decided on, the
city would have to secure a distributing
system. If the state should take charge
of the conservation of water in North
ern New Jersey it would simply gather
the water in a great reservoir and sell
it to the different municipalities. In
this case the city would ave to have
the means of distributing 1t. If the
State did not do this and the city went
into the water business on It's ac-
our it would need the pipes and the
same would be the case II the city
purchased the water from a corpora
ton.

ICE CREAM MARKET
Buys Entire Supply of Sag

Gives Children.

NEW YORK, June 30.-There was not
a BIT Of Ice cream left in Sag Harbor
last night, and all because of the picnic
given by AIRS. Russell Sage TO the Sag
lIarbors children in the afternoon.
Nobody knew there were SO many lit

town before. Al least 600 children
crowded the school auditorium, where
there was a vaudeville and Punch and
Judy show and they then formed in
line and marched TO Park Grove. where
the refreshments were served. As many
more children were waiting there.
The caterers had supplied 800 bricks
of cream, but this was consumed like
snow in the suns rays, and there WASH
half enough. Mrs Sage was equal to
the emergency If the caterers were not.
While She stayed at the park and talk
ed TO the children, downtown went her
gayly decorated automobile. and the
chauffeur had orders 10 buy up all the
ice cream in the town at any price.
He succeeded in getting 800 quarts, so
there was plenty after all. Nearly 1000
pounds OF cake and other confecaions
were also consumed The schOOIboys

INTENTIONS.

knew more about the psychology OF

in pity than in anger.
Fer instance, I have a friend, an in

nondescript person in appearance, and
she knows Il. There are many persons
nondescript in appearance who do not
know il; this IS where my friend is
more fortunate or more unfortunate, as
you look al it, than her fellows.

prospect.

that gives the casein com ent. which
therefore, has particular reference to
cheese making. In the Hart test q
quantity of milk is put into a tube with
chIoroform and aCetic acic and thor

volutions a minute for eight minutes
This distributes the ingredients so that

PERVERSE, But PLAUSIBLE.

Wsen the house-cleaning season comes
1t has always been customary to start
from the top OK the house and work
down until the cellar IS reached, but
there is a "show'' housewife who does
not carry out this plan She first cleans
the TOP rooms Of the house. then the
cellar. finishing with the first floor.
Her reason For doing this IS because
in cleaning the cellar the dirt from coal,
etc works its way up through the
registers TO the floor asOves and when
the first floor Is cleaned before the cell
lar she is compelled to go over II again,
owing to the dust that settles on car
nets and furniture.
This is plausible and sounds like good
re- SOning.
