Mr.. Lorimer, continued Mr.. Wayman.

WESTON SEES CHOATE
Former Ambassador and Pedestrian
Have Chat Together.

New York, May 4.-These days are
restless ones for Edward Payson Wes-
ton. For the first time in three months
or more, he has nothing to do and it
takes a deal OF scheming to make the
doing of it fill the day.
Some of his leisure time is being spent
in renewing old acquaintance here. One
of his first calls was upon General
Thomas H. Hubbard, the lawyer and
patron of Adventures and another ia
vored one was Joseph H. Choate, for
mer ambassador to Great Britain Mr..
Choate had tried to get to city hall on
Monday to see the end of Weston's $500
mile stroll, but the crowd was too dense
and he had to turn back. He took Yves
ton to task for walking ~ miles in one
day.
When he read about it in the news
papers" said Mr.. Weston later, ''he
wrote me a letter in which he wanted
to know whether I was ever going to
get over being a fool"

FAT FOLKS FAVOR
Home Mixture That lakes on the Fat Rapidly
Causes No Wrlnkes-No Stomach Ills and
Requires heh her Dieting Nor Exercise

Too uuch fat is both uncomfortable
and dangerous, but usually fleshy people
perfer to put up with its Inconvenience
rather than punish themselves with. the
endanger their health by taking the So
called cures and patent fat "reducers.''
This self-sacrifice of comfort and health
to overabundant fat is entirely unneces-
sary, however, as Mrs. Luella Bigger tells
US there is a home receipt that is far
superior in every way to anything money
will buy for reducing superfluous flesh.
1t is said this simple mixture will take
the fat off of man or woman at the rate of
at least couple of pounds week with
out even causing wrinkles. Moreover it
does not disturb the stomach. but is a
good thing for the system, clearing away
pimples, and. best of all, it does not inter
fere with the diet. You can use it and
at the same time eat whatever you like.
This receipt is as foilows:-1-2 ounce Mar
mola 1-2 ounce Fluid Extract Cascara
Aromatic and 1-2 ounces of Peppermint
Water. Get these ingredients at any drug
store, mix them together at home and
take one teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime
Mrs Bigger as is well known, is a
famous beauty expert, and whatever she
recommends is sure to be found eminently
satisfactory.

After a Collision.

Provincetown, Mass, May 4.-The
freight steamer Santurie, which was in
collision with the northbound tank
steamer Ligo1ier off Cape Cod last
night, arrived here at dawn today with
a IL foot hole in her starboard side
and her after compartment full of
water. No oIe was injured during the
accident but half the crew of the San
turie jumped on the Ligonier.
Captain FOIL er of the Santurie was
not dismayed Ly the desertion of half
of his men, and with the help of his
officers and che remainder of the crew
the after-buIshead doors were closed
and all the after pumps were started
up.
1t was a ticklish piece of work coax
ing the waterlogged Santurie around
the end of the cape, but her engine
room force kept their places and the
steamer reached safety in port.

MARINE EQUIPMENT
IN NEW JERSEY WATERS,

In an appendix TO the report made to
Governor Fort, Charles Hansell re-
views at length the marine equipment
of the Pennsylvania operating in New
Jersey waters, and discusses the means
of arriving at a just valuation OF this
property. Among other things, he says:
The character, designs and service of
the floating equipment may be classifed
as follows: Barges, canal boats,
dredges, car and other floats, ferry
boats, lighters, power launches. power
lighters, tugboats, scows, steamboats,,
steamships, transfer boats.
The term true value, as applied TO
many items and articles of exchange
cannot, we think, be applied generally
TO the floating equipment of q railroad
company for the reason that 1t IS de-
signed for the special needs of the
company operating same, as is lemon
strated by the various n different
types of equipment of the same class
found in service in and about New
Jersey waters, consequently there is no
practical ground for a meeting point
for a willing seller and a willing buyer.
Neither is there likely to be found a
ground for compromise. This reasoning
does not apply in the same degree to
each of the several classes of equip
ment for the reason that the measure
of obsolescence varies materially.
The floating equipment as a whole
might properly be clsssed as flexible
terminals. it is a part OF the machinery
of the entire system using It directly,

Don't blame your stomach or your

When the stomach won't do it's work
il is because it cannot.
When foul smelling doors come from
YOUR stomach, when the head aches
and the of mouth every MORN
ing makes you hate your breakfast,

don't give up the fight.
This is the appeal of nature, and it
should be heard.
over-eating, late suppers, poorly
chewed food, too rich pastries and I'M
der-done cooking are some of the causes
of the stomach's i'll health.
When the stomach is busy, it presses
and churns all the liquid matter from
food and with its juices dissolves into
liquid form or pulp everything which
comes into 1T.
If such food be poisonous it affects
the Juices, attacks the stomach, goes
into the blood and weakens the entire
system.

a full meal easily without material
assistance from the stomach. They VIII

No Depreciation.

NO DcpEccihthohs
The reports of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company for 1906, 1907 inc 1908 dc
not show that any depreciation is made
in the asset account of floating equip
ment. No doubt a considerable sum is
charged each year to operation under
the title of depreciation. in order to
provide a fund to keep the equipment
up-to-date. On the other hand, the
asset account is not credited with new
equipment, and it seems to be the
theory that the up-keep takes care OF
the depreciation. and. therefore, no
change is made in the asset account SO
far as the published statement is con-
cerned.
The book accounts of the custodian
of the property varies from the annual
statement. and in fact the estimated
present value furnished this commit
tee by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is considerably higher than is
shown in the last annual statement.
The practise of maintaining a con-
slant asset value for the purposes of
the annual financial statement for the
information of the security holders is
perhaps, entirely proper, and to be
recommended, as 1t iusures a conserva-
tive estimate of the naked values be-
hind the securities. provided always
that maintenance is kept up to or in
advance of depreciation.
The tangible depreciation can be
maintained. There is, however, an in
tangible depreciation which cannot be
maintained, and in the survey of each
vessel this must be considered.
The manager of n of the most inn
portant steamship ines operating in
affiliated interest with a large railroad
system contended with the chartered
public accountant. who prepared the an,
nual statement. that they were charg-
ing off too large an amount TO de-
probation in reducing the asset value
of floating equipment 5 per cent. an
nually, and after the final argument oil
the the directors decided on
an annual depreciation of 8 per cent.
The depreciation on ocean-going yes
sells should be increased over inland
water service. because of the greater
strain and for the obsolescence. 1T,
then. the depreciation of 5 per cent. as
determined in the case mentioned is
correct. then a somewhat less amount
should be charged off to cover the in
tangible depreciation OF inland water
equipment, such as is under consid-
Grafton. 5
