A Nourishins Luncheon Dish.

If a woman lives at home and finds
that her digestion is not doing its best
there are delicious dishes made OF
nourishing ingredients that are said to
serve for Il whole meal.
Mrs. Rorer strongly advocates the
following dish: Boiled rice mixed with
an equal quantity of chopped nuts, a
hard boiled egg. chopped fine, and d
very little seasoning, salt and onion
juice.
This is mixed thoroughly. put into
baking dish, covered with a half pint
of cream sauce and the top is busted
with grated cheese. 1t is then baked
until it is brown
Another dish which can be eaten for
dinner as well as luncheon and is said
to hold all the nourishment necessary
for the body is made of toast, toma-
toes. rice and nuts. Each one Of these
is easily dgested and gives strength
and vigor to the blood and sinews.
1t is made by covering the bottom of
the baking dish with squares of toasted
bread Tomatoes are carefully peeled
and cut into blocks and put over the
bread A layer of pecan nuts is put
over the tomatoes, and these are II,
turn covered with a layer of rice which
has been we'll boiled
There is more rice wrongly cooked
than well cooked, and it seems diff
cult to teach the best cooks to prepare
this tropical dish in the right way.
After the rice has been spread over the
nuts it is covered with layer Of them
in which are mixed tomatoes and all is
covered with squares of toasted bread.
This is baked for half an hour and
served hot.
Complicated as it sounds, it is simple
to eat, the palate likes it and the stom-
ach takes care of it easily and quickly.

HOUSEHOLD HELPS
For the School Girls Room.

Both dainty and cheap-and what
more could mortal maid desire-are
the new bed coverings of colored
muslin.
The spread for the bed is long
enough to nearly reach the floor. 1t is
of white muslin with a three-inch
border of blue or pink or violet muslin.
The two pillow shams are square
pieces of white bordered with the
color.
They are put on over the bed with
the upright pillows after it has been
made up in the usual manner Tor the
day.
Instead of putting on a Marseilles
spread it is much better to use spreads
or plain white striped dimity. THESE
are left on at night to protect the
blanket after the fancy spread in re-
moved They should be used on
every bed unless one has the French
double sheets. which are twice the
length of the bed
These serve the same purpose as the
little dimity top ones do. They tuck
in at the foot as a regular sheet, then
are folded backward over the top
blanket until they reach the foot or
the bed. where they are not tucked IN,
but left lying fiat on the surface.
They are finished with a three-inch
hem and have the initials of the house
straight across the center done IN
heavy padded embroidery.
They are 50 easy to launder, too,
that they may be kept in state Q.

DOCTOR ARRESTED
ON CHARGE OF
SOCIETY WOMAN
Samuel T. Day Declares That
Mrs. Frank BattersOn's Ac-
cusatiOn Is Unjustified.

PORT NORRIS, June 9.-Mrs. Frank
Patterson, one of the most prominent
society and club women of this sectlpn
of New Jersey, has caused the arrest
of DR. Samuel t. Day, the leading ply
sician of this vicinity and the most
prominent Prohibition party man,
charging him with having attacked
her.
The arrest of DR.. Day caused the
most intense sensation here, the Days
being among the most prominent people
in town. Mrs. Batterson's complaint
alleges that DIR. Day assaulted her a
week ago, and that she had been toe
i'll until now to make the complaint.
She will give no particulars, saying
that when DR.. Day is called for trial
she will relate a startling story.
DR.. Day, who has retained United
States District Attorney Walter H
Bacon to defend him, denies that he
ever attacked Mrs. Patterson and init
mates that there is something behind
his arrest which has not yet been re-
vealed, and which will show that he Is
an innocent victim.

to meet him there. Governor Fort will

from Dickinson this week, accompanied
the Governor.
The only topic under discussion at the
Governors informal Tuesday reception
to politicians was the national conven-
tion and New Jerseys part in it. The
supporters of Senator Kean for chair
man of this States delegation insist
that they have sixteen votes out Of the
twenty-four, but the Fort men claim

Especial to the Evening star.l

CHICAGO, June 9.-Not before in its
history, perhaps, has the Republican
party through the men who are shaping
its program, given such serious con-
sideration to the question Of the vice.
presidential nomination. The second
place on the ticket will not be peddled
out this year, nor is it the intention of
the manasers to permit the naming of
any man who does not possess the quail
f1cations which are necessary in any
aspirant for presidential honors In
the comparatively short history of the
country five vice presidents have sue
ceeded to the White House, and the
day has gone when the presidency
was considered the road to the political
scrap heap or the death-kneI of am
bilious statesmen.
1t is felt that as the Vice President
may at any time be summoned to as
sumo the duties of the nations chief
executive ii is investing the possibili-
ties of the place with an Importance
which cannot and will not be ignored.
All of this is tending to strengthen
the candidacy of former Governor
Franklin Murphy, of New Jersey. Not
only is he favorite son, but he was
born, reared and still resides in the
State which espouses his claim. A
successful and conservative business
man. he would have the confidence of
the country, his friends declare, while
the fact that he served in the Army
of the Potomac from the time he was
16 years old until mustered out at the
close of he war, gives the patriotic
touch so helpful in the matter of vote
getting, they believe.
Then, again, in discussing the possi-
bility of former Governor Murphy, the
practical ones in the party recall his
experience in politics as chairman of
The Republican State committee of his
own State, his services to the party as
a member of the national Republican
executive committee, his work as a
member of the Paris commission and
the distinction he gained as president
general of the National Society OF the
Sons of the American Revolution. The
fact should not be overlooked that ne
hos the advantage of owning a name
,,,,tb Celtic ring, while being at the
come time the type of the sturdy and
Wholesome American, his champions
point out.

TRENTON, June 9.--The State Civil
Service Commission will convene in
Newark on Thursday to begin the task
of classifying the departments of Essex
County officials and employees. Pur-
suant to action of the Board of Free
holders there, the provisions of the law
become effective Monday, June 20.
The roster of Essex employees was
considered at a meeting in the State
House today, and it was voted to notify
Valentine Braun, who is doing the grad
ing at Overbrook Asylum for the coun-
ty, that he would have to furnish list
Of employees names before his payroll
could be approved.
Colonel James r. Mullikin. of New
ark. a civil service commissioner, when
asked for an explanation of the Braun
matter said:
"The payroll as submitted to us bears
the name of Mr.. Braun himself, at 80
a day, and the names of two foremen
and one timekeeper. The laborers are
listed as numbers. Then there are en-
tries such as horse and cart. s..
1--WE cannot approve that, as the law
reouires the names of all for identifi-
cation. We will simply notify the Free
holders. and the roster will be pre-
pared properly, no doubt, before the
civil service regulations go into effect
in Essex"
Mr.. Braun is doing the Overbrook
work on a day-to-day understanding
with the authorities.
Secretary Gardner Colby and Colonel
Mullikin have announced that appllca-
tion blanks for labor service in Essex
must be procured at room .2U1, Court
House, Newark. and filed before June

Lackawanna Train Running Too

INQUIRY was made by the State Board
of Railroad Commissioners today in a
session at the Court House into the
cause of the wreck of the Million
aires Express" on the Lackawanna
Railroad last Friday near Millington.
The board decided to consult with At
torney General Robert H. McCarter and
ascertain what date will be convenient
for him to conduct an investigation,
then to fix date and, after giving the
railroad five days notice, to look into
the matter.
inspector Maybury of the commits
eion made report, from which it
would appear that at the point where
the accident occurred the track was
weakened during the course of repairs.
and that the train was running at too
high a rate of speed, Orders had been
issued to the engineer to go slow.
