WONDERS OF THE
FIRELESS COOKER
Remarkable Exhibition of This
Culinary Marvel at Walters
Furniture Store

An exhibition of more than usual in
terest is the demonstration of the
CaIoric Fireless Cooker at the store of
D. n. & E. Walter & Co., Stockton and
O'Farren streets.
A capable demonstrator in the per-
son OF Mrs. Harriet Portage, secured
direct from the factory at GAINESVILLE.
Wisconsin, bakes, roasts, boils, stews
and steams, by means of the cooker,
and attracts a constant stream of peo-
pie TO the Stockton street windows of
the store.
The "Caloric" represents the highest
success ever attained in the science of
cooking without fire. Contrary to COM
mon impression, it is not necessary to
partially cook or even to heat the arti-
in the cooker just as they would be
placed in the ordinary oven. The ma
chine does the rest. There is no bast-
ing, no turning, nothing can be over
done or burned. 1t is said that beef
and fish baked in this cooker retain
all their natural flavor, proving reve-
lation to those who like rich, juicy
meat and fish. Bread may be baked,
soups boiled and vegetables cooked, all
at the same time in a three compart-
ment cooker, and in about the same
time that would be consumed using
the ordinary stove.
The demonstration, which is the most
remarkable ever conducted here, will
continue all this week.

FOREIGN CORPORATION
WILL TEST NEW LAW
Philadelphia Concern Resists
Payment of State Tax

AS a test of the new foreign cor
poration law, which demands a per-
centage of the capital stock of any
outside corporation doing business in
the state of California, the H. K. Null
ford company of Philadelphia, dealers
in pharmaceutical supplies, has petit
toned the supreme court of the state
for writ of mandate to compel the
state secretary, c. F. Curry, to accept
the proffered SIS tax for filing notice of
the appointment of an gent.
The secretary of state refused the SIS
ffee, demanding that the foreign cor
poration pay the state of California a
percentage of its actual capitalization,
which is s1,00O,000, the amount of the
tax requested amounting to upward of
500.
f. L. Clark was appointed as the
agent for the company in this state
and, according to the company, the
law on which the secretary of state
refuses to acknowledge its appointee
and refuses to accept the tax offered is
invalid.

SHORT CHANGE ARTISTS
WORK ON STREETCARS
Passengers Say Conductors
Withhold Small Sums

If you give conductor on the street
cars a dollar in payment of fare do
not like many, take what is handed
you unquestioned or you may be short
changed, for number of circumstances
of this character have come to light
recently, particularly on the Fillmore
street line.
Passengers pass up a big dollar and
the conductor gives back change in
dimes and nickels, and each one who
has complained has discovered from
5 to 10 cents short. How is that?
asked one of the victims yesterday as
soon as she could get the attention of
the man who gave the change.
How is what?"
why, there is 10 cents shy" and she
held out her hand with the small
pieces in it.
Blandly the conductor counted the
money. piece by piece, in her hand and,
sure enough, the exact change was
there. In the counting he dropped a
dime into her palm to make up the de-
ficiency. In each case In the last 10
days, in which passengers found a
shortage, the same procedure to- make
up the shortage was followed. 1t is a
neat case of palming. If the money is
not counted the short change artist is
5 or 10 cents ahead of the game

MORE TRAINS PUT ON
MOUNT TAMALPAIS RUN
Growth of Travel Makes Serv-

The new time table of the Mill VAL
ley and Mount Tamalpais railroad went
into effect Sunday. Owing to the in
crease in travel during the summer
months it has been found necessary to
add several trains both for Mount Ia
malpais and for Muir woods.
There are now eight trains leaving
this city on Sunday, all but one con-
Meeting with the Muir woods train. Be
sides these there are many local trains
running to the small stations that are
not in the time table.
In addition there is a train leaving
this city every afternoon at 4:45 for
the summit of the mountain to enable
the people to go up and view Halley's
comet, which is visible in the early
morning at the present time and will
be visible in the evening in a few

This is the second lawsuit Mrs. Nor

husband. About two weeks ago she
instituted action for $4,000 alleged to
be due on a $4,000 promissory note

and. she says, of little value.
Norwood is worth about $1,000 and
has an income of $1,000 a month, his
wife reveals in her complaint. Judge
Graham signed an injunction restrain
ing the broker from disposing of any
of his property pending determination
of the suit. AS a similar restraining
order was signed in the promissory
note case, Norwood's possessions have
been pretty effectually tied up.
