NEW YORK, June 2S.-The "Stor-
age battery is now an accomplished
fact" said Thomas A. Edison yester-
day at Orange, n. j., to anumber of
newspaper men who had been invited
to call on him. For years he has been
patiently working out the problem of
the storage battery. Four years ago
he believed he had solved it. But he
was too cautious to make positive an
nouncement of his victory. Now he
has absolutely no doubt about it.
why" he said, as if surprised that
everybody did not know of his victory,
Il have had the storage battery com
pleted for month or two. There has
been no exploitation of it, though, be-
cause l am not prepared to meet the
rush of orders that already is coming
in. l shall give it the final test on the
crosstown street car line here in West
Orange in the next few days, and
then the experimental stage will have
been passed.
After we have had our test here
on the crosstown line we shall begin
to fill orders for the crosstown and
belt lines in New York. These folks
have been after the storage battery
for long time. l did not let them
know the prospect of seeing it unit

problem had been solved l am now

FATS AND LEANS WILL sWIPE

This Line UP Indicates That There
of Admission is Within the
Reach of All.

The fats and the Leans are to play
ball for charity next Thursday the ben
eft to be for the Rescue Home of the
Kings Daughters. In another place
will be found the line up and it goes
without saying that the occasion will
be one long to be remembered. The
colors will be yellow and green, which
being properly interpreted means that
"yellow will be for the very fat fell
low" While green will represent the
man who is too slim to be seem" AS
this is a very laudable purpose the
Kings Daughters ought to realize a
a very handsome sum. The price OF
admission is % cents and lady will
be admitted free with each gentleman.

Why, Macy's in New York, equipped
one of its delivery wagons recently
with battery we made at our factory
and the wagon ran around Long Island
the entire day. We can equip truck
with battery that will carry 1T in
short time from New York to Phila-
delphia. If that doesn't demonstrate
it's commercial value I don't know
what could.
"Our battery solves one of the grow.
ing problems in street traffic in New
York and other big cities. 1t will do
away completely with the horse there
in a little time. It's introduction will
eliminate the horse in crowded centers,
and will reduce the space occupied by
the horse and carriage or truck. This
of itself, means big saving of space,
I should say nearly half. In turn this
saving will permit Of the multiplied
ton of moving vehicles in a given
space. Then, too, the power of a
team of truck horses will be doubled,
at least. That factor depends, of
course, upon the size of the battery
that is installed. The speed also will
be more than doubled. you see we
have something worth while"
Mr.. Edison explains cells of his
perfected battery vary in weight from
13 1-2 to IS pounds. A sixty-cell bat
terry of IS pounds each is the kind
that will carry a one-ton truck from
New York to Philadelphia in less than
third of the time a two-horse team
could haul load.
Il expect soon to see every taxicab
run by the new storage battery" he
said. Automobiles, too, and other
pleasure vehicles can be equipped with
them. estimate that the life of a
battery will be not less than -four
years. They will simply have to be
recharged whenever the elecrtic fluid
has been exhausted

is to carry the pump along and hitcf

"The commercial value Of the gaso

will be about as noiseless as it will
be practicable to make any rapid

\ "Are the steam railroads NANTES
ing much interest in the new storag
battery?" Mr.. Edison was asked.
"They are, but their present MOI
, equipment has cost them so muc
that it can not be expected they wi
want the battery on any considerabl
scale for some time yet"
"And does Europe know of your tr
umph?"

Of the pier DESTROYED.

VI tue pier destroyed. 10y - W,
Another Circumstance that contribut-
ed materially toward holding the fire
in check was that more or less rain
had been falling throughout the day
and the pier was still wet, otherwise
The damage might have been enorm-
sou. The Luzon rendered valuable as
sistance, furnishing considerable hose
and men to handle it. The origin OF
the fire is not known, but it was
stated that it started in the upper
part of the .acht club building. The
building had been used as a place of
amusement this summer and was oc-
eupied by Capt. ]. P. Barry and family,
who barely escaped with their lives.
1t was said that Capt. Barry had to

LOVE AND COOKING
THEY HAVE MORE TO DO WITH
EACH OTHER THAN SOME
BRIDES THINK.

ONE Of the most unreasonable
things about a man is that, while
before marriage he considers a girls
ability to cook the least important
thing about her, yet after the cere-
mony 1t becomes perhaps the most
important.
There never was a man whose love
was strong enough to withstand poor
ly cooked meals and, above all, meals
not ready on time.
The woman who keeps her husband
waiting for his breakfast and dinner
-is~about as annoying as human be-
ing can be.
A home is not a home unless 1t Is
comfortable. and how can 1t be when
meals are badly cooked and give dys-
pepsia to It's inmates?
z There is no reason save Grass stu
pidity why any woman cannot learn to
cook. She may never be able to make
fiaky pie crust or elaborate desserts,
but these require the hand of an ex-
pert and are not suitable for the ordi-
nary family OF small means
Study what is wholesome and never
put on the table anything that you
would not find palatable yourself.
In the first place, make it a rule new
or to serve anything greasy. Drain
everything carefully and fry only In
deep fat that is so hot 1t browns imme-
diately If the result should turn out
by accident greasy throw it away;
better that than to put it in your
Ttomach.
Eat as many broiled meats as possi-
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1909-09-02

BILE. This is the ideal way to-. cook
them. Eat your steaks quite rare, SO
that the red juice flows freely under
the knife. Even chops should not be
cooked as long as most people allow
them to be.
Eat plenty of green vegetables and
salads of all kinds, with plenty OF
olive oil on the leaves, which should
be irreproachably fresh. Lettuce heads
that are kept too long are anything
but healthy. A word as to desserts.
Cut them out as mucn as possible.
Doughty and highly spiced combina-
tions are deadly food for the man who
uses his brain, and more than one
grouchy husband never knew why he
was so cross when all the time it was
his wife's attempt at an elaborate pud-
ding that sat heavy on his soul.
II fresh fruit is out of season make
a simple jelly or some sauce in Ihe
morning and vary this occasionally
with custard or charlotte russo made
in punch glasses, with lady fingers and
freshly whipped cream These are
wholesome and easy to prepare.
