DECREASE IN RAILROAD AcCl.
DENTS,

= The returns for 1908 show that the
casualties upon American railroads
were most gratifyingly decreased, and,
yet, the question is raised whether it
was not the result of decreased bust
ness instead of increased care or Wig
lance. The report says:
IAN things considered, the conclus-
ion Is unavoidable that the marked
diminution in fatalities in 1908 was
due almost entirely to the recession
in freight traffic, which took the strain
off every department Of service and
substituted orderly observance of rules
by passengers and employees for their
violation in the feverish rush Of pros
perity that eliminated in October.
1907. Like conditions produced like
results before and after the panic of
1893"
II is popular to put In contrast with
the 2,17S fatalities in this country the
fact that there was not a single ia
tally upon the English roads during
the whole year; but England has not
one-tenth the mileage of road this
country has, and the climate is more
even and the accidents to the road
beds less frequent. There is no Just
comparison to be made between the
traffic or the perils Of the two coun-
tries; but the fatalities and casualties
in this country could unquestionablv
be permanently decreased by stricter
discipline and the employment of men
1T for the business.

CIRCULATION
FREE ARr.

The Payne bill calls for the ad-
mission Of paintings and other art
goods free of duty for which an age
OF twenty years can be proved and 1t
is to be hoped that this provision
will remain. since art produces small
revenue, while in reality 1t deprives
the country Of the possession Of treas
ures which are educational and would
give pleasure to millions and culture
to thousands Of our people.
John Hay had this to say upon this
subject:
The duty on art is an outrage. 1t
was unthinkingiy restored In the
Dingley bill without anybody plead
ing for It or having any particular
interest in It. AS a revenue producer
it is almost nil, and the harm it has
done US in the eyes Of civilized ma
lions is too great to be expressed in
figures. Every great painting brought
into this country adds so much to the
treasures of all the people"
The result of this will be to enrich
American art galleries, public and pri-
vate, and to place in the reach of
the people for study many works of
the masters which are now debarred
~ law.

RENzoATE OF SODA.

Those who believe in pure foods
feel in duty bound to warn the pub
lie to be wary of preserved goods
which contain benzoate of soda. be-
cause it Is Injurious to health, dec
laration that is endorsed by the ablest
medical authorities.
This is what is said concerning its
use:
Some of the foods in which it has
been used and in which it will GER
tainly appear this summer are jellies,
jams and preserves; catsup, chilli sauce
and picked lily; peach, apple, plum
and apricot butter; cider mand grape
juice; mincemeat and filling for all
kinds of pies; canned soups and bouil-
Ions and articles of similar character
Under the recent decision, however.
other products can now be preserved
by this particular chemical.
Even more than meats and other
foods preserved with the condemned
boracic acid are those preserved with
the approved benzolc acid entitled to
bear the prefix embalmed,' for while
horax and boracic acid are COMPARE
lively modern discoveries, benzoic
acid was employed in embalming some
5000 years ago, and to it's wonderful
preserving qualities we owe the Egyp-
tian mummies. There was a differ
enoe, however in this, that while the
ancients obtained their benzoic acid
from aromatic gums, modern chemis-
try has discovered that 1t can be pro-
duced from coal-tar and the urine of
cattle and horses, from which sources
what is known as commercial BEN
zoic acid is now exclusively obtained"

The PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL.

1t Is not strange that the able men
who have had the public utilities
measure under consideration for a
great while and who carefully
draughted the measure feel. sensitive
to the turn which the legislature has
taken and commissioned men to re-
wise and make the work more salts
factory in few weeks. This is not
really such a reflection upon the com
missioners who had the matter in hand
for two years and the judiciary com
mittee who gave it their best atten-
ton for six months, as one might
think. Viewed nationally, It is clear
enough that the work has already been
well done and there Is an open ques-
ton whether the last movement is
for the improvement or impairment
Of the measure-for the strengthens
ing or the weakening of it. It is fair
to assume that 1t will not be made
more stringent in its provisions or as
generally satisfactory as the original
bill This is in effect a compromise
movement and compromise movements
are usually disappointing. It is a
good sign when the legislature for
political reasons declines to reject IT..
A weak measure will be better than
no law. and it will be given strength
later on. What the people unitedly
demand they are very likely to get in
the end.

Hnma-mada CREAM Cheese.

One who makes her own cream
cheese to use with salads gives her
recipe. Here it is: Take two quarts
Of thickly clabbered milk and nour into
it a quart of boiling water. Let this
stand 10 minutes, then pour into q
cheesecloth bag and let it drain over
night. In the morning rub the cheese
to a pulp by working 1t in the bag
with the hands, and then press
through a fairly coarse sieve. Salt ito
taste, and gradually work in a tea
spoonful of thick cream. The mixture
is now ready to pack into small jars
or cups. Let it stand in a cool place
for fortnight. Scrape off the top,
turn out and the cream cheese is
ready for use.

He Stood Alone.

Senator Luther gave a splendid ex-
ample of man standing by his con-
Victions alone. in the vote on the Toll
land trolley charter in the senate at
Hartford yesterday. His was the only
vote against the charter that permits
the company to do its business in the
old way. Undoubtedly Senator Luther
Is right in theory, and while there
would be an ideal condition could
that theory prevail, we should proba-
lily have few new roads built under
Il. Certainly we should not have had
the trolley development in this state
that We have today had his rule been
in operation, nor, under the working
of such financial restraints, would this
continent have been spanped by a
railroad in a century. There are dis
advantages that accompany the pre-
vailing methods, but they are bal
anoed by results and the results are
essential to material progress
