The figures presented by Mayor
Schaffer to the Booster club at its
asst regular meeting this week at the
cock Island Club, relative to the in
:estment and expense of the Rock
liver bridges. are of more than ordin-
Try interest The mayor stated the
expenditures and the receipts in tolls
or each year since 1880. The ques-
ion of making these bridges free is
brought up with much frequency, ana
zach time demands more serious con-
;ideration. These figures will have
some bearing on the discussion of this
question. The city bought the bridges
,bout 40 years ago from the Rock IS
land C Camden Plank Road company
paying $4,000 in bonds paying 10 pei
cent. The mayors statement shows
that the total receipts for 26 years
have been $119,23S.G0, and that during
that time the total expenditures, in
Guiding the saIary of the toll gate
keeper, have amounted to $102, 096.S7
This would seem to show a profit OF
7,140.73, but it does not take into
consideration the original Investment
and the interest.

FAT WOMAN TURNS SUNMERSAULTS
Teaches Glass of Ballet Girls CaIisthenics
and Gymnastics

The celebrated Helen Burnside tells a
story TO the society reporter Of a leading
New York evening paper IN this way;
Several months ago was promenadins
the RialtO when I met an old college
chum. She was rather astoun6ed at my
sporting so much jolly fat and asked me
what I was doing. AS a matter OF fact
wasn't doing anything just at that
time but taking long, tiresome walks
and doing without my breakfast and late
suppers. drinking double-skimmed milk
and taking a horrible patent medicine
My friend was rather interested in
knowing more about the success that I
was having with this strenuous fat
cure and was astonished to learn that
had only lost 10 ounces In thsee weeks.
. Grille said she, you don't need to
suffer all these deprivations and do the
hardest kind OF work, which you really
call doing nothing Why not try my
Marnola Prescription I'm losing almost
a pound a day and not losing any sleep
over IL, either. get my four squares and
my bottle, and don't pass anything IN
the way OF eating and drinking Mar
mola, said I; why. never heard OF It.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1908-01-08

What in the name of heaven is it7' rs 1t
posSibla, Helen she replied, that you
have been hiking around little old New
York and don't know what Marn1Dla IS
Why, it's the sensation of the day, It's
just an ordinary doctors prescription,
but extraordinary iil its results. I take
a teaspOonful after every meal and one
before retiring ard just keep along my
leisurely pace letting Narmola keep me
down in weight Now" said Helen. Il
took the girls advice and in consequence
got down from 20 to 140 inside Of a
month. I'm teaching dancing to q. beyy
OF prospective Casino cir s, all of whoia
are taking AIarmola."
The Marmola prescript on reads: Half
ounce Marmola, y ounce Fluid Extract
Cascera Aromatic. and 81 ounces Syrup
Simplex
IN these days, when there IS so Inuc1,
substitution going on. it Is as well to see
that you get Marmola IN the original
package, and then you have ample GUAR
antee that fo- sheer merit of goodness
there IS nothing tC equal it Don't con-
found the Marnae.a Prescription with
anything for which similar claims are
put forth. It is in no sense a patent
medicine. It is a doctors prescription.

CaSt-Off Tea
Is Sent Here
By 0rientalS

Women will doubtless be astonished
20 learn that the tea from which they
brew their afternoon cup in this coun-
try is the poorest in quality OF any
market IN the world. The Orientais
have such a supreme contempt for Us
as tea drinkers or judges OF good tea
that they ship only the stun that they
consider almost worthless TO tho United
States for ordinary consumption. They
send as poor tea. 20 other countries, but
not in the same quantities. and they
more than offset that by also shipping
a grade OF tea OF a quality that has
never been known here.
There is no reason why the tea grow
ers do not favor US. IN the first place,
America will pay the price for the
choicest pickings Of the tea plantations.
There has never been a popular demand
here for q tea that is considered even
fourth-rate by the producers.
The very dnest teas go TO the i'm
pcrial households Of China and Russia.
The family Of the Czar drinks tea that
costs between sS5 and $40 a pound. Rus
STA is the best market Tor the finest
teas. Members of the nobility there
think nothing Of paying SIS a pound for
tea They get soemtht-.s that they con-
slider worth while in The tea line, and
they certainly know good tea.
Next TO the Chinese and Russian
potentates comes .he King OF England
as a consumer Of choice tea The tea
furnished to the royal household COSTS
about so a pound, being not quite 50
good as that sent 90 Russia. A great
Quantity of high-grade tea is used in
England, where there is fOndnesS for
good tea.
Among the royal families Germany
stands third as consumers OF the hne
teas. For the tea sent TO the Kaiser II
is said that q price OF 50 a pound IS
received The other crowned heads
manage to get along with something in
the tea line not so fine.
There is sufficient variation IN the
nrice OF the teas supplied 10 the royal
| families and the ordinary leaf sold here
to indicate the great difference in quail
ity. We get all We are entitled 70 Tor
the price we pay Finer grades would

To Wash q ShawE

To wash a wooden shawl lay it out
perfectly fat on a piece OF cloth suf-

with heavy thread several times around
until held firmly in place. Cover With
another piece OF cheesecIoth, and haste
this enough 10 hold in position, says
WOman's Life. Wash IN good suds OF
wool soap, squeezing rather than rub

water as you can without wringing;
hang on line to dry; when properly dry
remove covering and you will find your
shawl IN perfect condition, light and
fluffy, and not stretched at all.

Sailed Mus

Sailed IHt5 are now so great a Ia
vorite that no elaborate dinner would
seem complete without them. As ordi-
narily prepared, however, the sailing Of
nuts is quite a serious task, but If the
cook desires to save time in cooking
them she may attain the same result
more easily by dropping them into a
kettle OF beef fat-lard By preference
and letting them remain from ten TO If
teen minutes, When done, they must
be drained thoroughly before being
sailed, but they will be found TO be Just
as palatable as the nuts that have been
prepared by the far more laborlous
process.
