through thirty-two blocks and continued

Dangers in Morning Cup of Tea.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. April 3.-The Lancet gives
solemn warning of the dangers in the
morning cup of tea served in bed. Tea it
self. freshly infused and with great
deal of milk or cream added, cannot really
be considered harmful. but "septic poten-
tialities'' accumulate in the mouth during
the night, so the most cogent argument
against the early morning cup of tea is
that in many cases the tea is swallowed
before the mouth and teeth are cleansed
and a poisoning process in the system
might thus easily be begun

ment, but on both sides concessions
were made. 1t is understood that the
1000 men affected are to receive a
little more than 5 per cent increase all
along the line, instead of the 10 per
cent for which they asked. Overtime
will be paid on a scale governed by
the character of work done. The I'M
ion will be recognized, it is reported,
although in settling the difference the
oficials dealt separately with their
own group of employees.
Some of the railroads opposed any
increase at all and stood out to the
finish for fight on the ground that
freight handling was not skilled labor
and vacated places could be quickly
filled. But there was the possibility
Of congestion to be faced and it was
this consideration which brought the
strike TO close with compromise.
