I pass on to women readers the

that it will serve to help them
solve the problem of making the

ideas of economists who declare
that eve eat too much" My ex-

best way is to buy cheaper meats

rice, macaroni and cheese to take
meats place. Prunes and evapor-
ated peaches are just as good as
grape fruit. Whole wheat bread
is a lot better than biscuits or
white bread, and the sweet breads
are a satisfying substitute for egg
made cakes.
The usual answer to the advice
to use beef stew instead of steak
is the increased cost of fuel for
cooking. OF course, the only way
to make the cheap cuts as palat-
able as the expensive ones is by
slow cooking. But these expert
ments, made most carefully, will

Editor Times,
Dear Sir:
G. w. q.


Editor Times,
Dear Sir:
I noticed an item the other day
which says that the common coun-
Gil of Trenton. N. J. have not only
passed an ordinance, which is a
common thing for some city coun-
ellis to do, but are enforcing it to
the letter. In effect the'ordinance
is this: any person that cannot get
a seat does not have to pay their
fare, and If gentleman gives his
seat to a lady, the conductor must
return his fare to him. f Il
Now what is the reason that
other cities can control their cor
porations and get reasonable ser
vice and we can not? Have they
got smarter men In their council?
Are they more conscientious and
look more to the interests OF the
people and play politics less, or: is
lit because our council and dfficials
are afraid to tackle anything like
a corporation that has got ssss
behind 1t?
Take the South Tacoma five
minute service ordinance, why in
the name of sense do they not en-
force the ordinance and fine the
company that 500 per day when
they do not comply with the law,
or are all these ordinances just a
joke to keep the people quiet?
A man was fined 500 the other
day because he objected to the or
dinance allowing the dog catcher
to take his dog, which was prob
ably not inconvenienting anybody,
but he was not a street car COM
pany so he had to pay his fine just
the same.
We would like to see something
besides dogs locked up when they
break the laws.

LAssociated Pressl

BEN LOMOND. April 1.-THE old
question of whether hard luck is camp
ing on the trail of James ]. Jeffries,
determined to put the champion out for
the count before he gets a chance to
show what he can do against Jack
Johnson on the Fourth of July, came
to the front again today at Jeffries'
training camp, when the big fighter
had close call to death or injury
through a live wire.
Jeffries went out to chop down red
wood, accompanied by Farmer Burns
and Jack Wooley, an Oakland sports
man. When the tree fell it crashed
through a string of power wires and
two ends of a telephone line dropped
close to the Jeffries party hitting with
in a few feet of where the champion
stood. All near the champion We're
frightened thoroughly, but Jeffries did
not allow any emotion to escape him.
He went right to work again cutting
logs and chOpping wood.
Rain made outdoor work impossible
in the morning. The sparring sessions
were postponed again, without any ap-
parent reason other than that JEFF did
not feel in the mood to box. In place
Of this, Jeff went through the full list
of the gymnasium apparatus, working
himself into a fine glow.
The monotony of the camp was
broken during the afternoon by a
wrestling match between Farmer
Burns and Baron Carl Henkel, an Of
ficer of the German army, who was a
visitor at the camp. The Baron thought
he could win from Burns easily, and
several wagers were made on the out
come of the match. Burns, however,
kept up his reputation by scoring a fall
in 2:35.
Sam Berger. Jeffs manager. arrived
in camp today, after having completed
arrangements for the outfitting of the
gymnasium. Berger would make no
announcement as to the first boxing, a
performance which is looked forward
to anxiously. as giving the only true
light on Jeffries' condition for a ring
battle.

morning, lifting the roof of the gym

KNOX TOWS HEAVY CAR
AT WONDERFUL SPEED

Herbert Brown of the Henry &
Brown Motor Car company was called
on recently to make a wonderful dem
onstration of Knox car, as the
sale of a big seven-passenger touring
car depended on the success of the
trial. At $3.50 a. m. the prospective
buyer and wife rode with Mr.. Brown
up through Elyslan park. The trip
through the park was made on the high
gear and the car was directed for the
San Fernando valley; then through
the valley to Chatsworth; then over
the Simi grade and through the Simi
valley to Camarillo and on to Oxnard,
where the party had luncheon. On the
afternoon return trip, about forty
miles out from Los Angeles big
touring car was found in distress, and
on tender of assistance the stranger
made the remark, that he guessed he
was all in. But Mr.. Brown secured
a rope, hooked the big machine onto
the Knox and towed 1t the entire dis
tance to the city. making an average
time of thirty miles an hour with this
big drag behind. This last part of the
trip was too much for c.. V. Wreden,
the prospective buyer. who handed over
his check to Mr.. Brown when the ride
was finished.
A Knox car just like this is to be
given away in The Herald's great con-
test.
