Eat Fruit and Bread.

Drop a penny into the tray of fruit
peddler and he will let you take a hand
full of oranges. and many people live ex-
clusively upon oranges and other raw
fruit, vegetables and bread
The theory that bread and fruit are not
nourishing receives stout contradiction
from the Neapolitans, because there Is no
more muscular vigorous race than
they. and a considerable portion Of the
peopIe never taste meat from one end of
their lives to the other. They are ex-
clusively vegetarans and bread eaters
Next to fruits and bread comes macaro-
nj which is made of the sem1-translucent
wheat raised in southern Italy, Algeria
and Egypt. which is very much richer in
heterogeneous properties than our wheat.
Spaghetti is another form of macaronl,
while vermicelli is macaroni drawn into
fire threads or cut into small lozengeS,
stars. disks, letters of the alphabet, forms
OF animals and other fanciful shapes.
The flour is mixed into thick paste or
dough. with boiling water. and after be-
ing thoroughly kneaded. both with the
hands and by the use of heavy, notched
rollers some of them weighing 200 or 300
pounds it is placed in a metallic cylinder.
One end of the cylinder is pierced with
holes and piston is pressed down upon
the dough. which expels the air and
forces it through the holes, coming out
in the form of long tubes. When the
tubes have reached a certain length an
automatic knife shaves them off and
they fall in such a way as to hang over
wooden rod, which is carried out in the
sunshine to dry, or placed in room
which is kept at an even temperature
Making of Macaroni.
Cheap macaroni is rapidly dried. 1t
is very important that the drying should
be slow, and that which is dried in the
sun is much better than that dried in
doors. People joke about it, and say that
the superiority of the macaroni dried in
the streets is due to the flavor of the
dust and dirt that are blown upon it, for
the streets i'm which the macaroni is
spread out to dry are about the dirtiest
in all Naples.
Well cured macaroni is tough, elastic
and entirely without moisture and with
a glossy surface. It can be kept for
any length Of time in any climate. The
reason Neapolitan macaroni is better
than that manufactured elsewhere is the
subject OF controversy. The same kind
of wheat the same kind of machinery
and the same men may be used in Genoa
Milan. Turin and other cities of the north.
and in cities of the south as WELL but
the macaroni there produced is different
i'm taste and always inferior to that made
in Naples. 1t is also commended that
the only place in Naples where good
macaroni can be made is the little sub
urban town of Tore Annunciata the
first station on the railway this side of
Pompeii.

BUY at Public Kitchens.

A large proportion of the working popu-
ation of Naples gets it's food at public
kitchens or cooking stands, which are
found on every block in the densely set
tied portions of the town. They are gem
orally dingy little rooms. the walls black
ened with the grease and smoke of gen
erations. In the rear is an old-fashioned
fireplace with number. of pots and ket-
ties, from which savory steam arises.
The largest is always for macaroni. for
that is the staff of life The others con-
tain soup. various kinds of fish and vege-
tables, while on .the counter. which usual
" projects into the street. the cooked
food is spread out in large pans and
bowls The customers come along with
pans and buckets. look over the stock and
make their selection.
Prices are remarkably low. Fish. vege-
tables, fruit and macaroni. the chief arti-
c1es of Neapoitsn diet, are cheaper here,
it is said, than in any other place in the
world; and at one of these cooking shops
a good dinner can be obtained for cents,
and enough for family for cents.
There are itinerant kitchens and res
taurants also which are great conven-
fence and economy. because those who
patronize them do not have to buy stoves
or fuel, and there is no waste of food
whatever. At the corner Of a street you
will often see man woman with
little stove on wheels, and over the fire
is a big kettle of soup. On shelves at the
side there are hunks of bread. Grown
people and children, workingmen, fisher
men and street gaminS viii come up. lay
down little coin and pick up piece of
bread which the dealer will dip into the
soup or stew until 1t is thoroughly soaked.
Then they will go off to t nearest loaf
ing place and eat it heartily.

HAD HURT THE CITY's TRADE
BY WILLIAM T. CURTIS.


Special Correspondence of The Star and the
Chicago Record Herald.
NAPLES April "a, 1910.
Naples has been cleaned up. 1t is no
longer the filthy place it used TO be, and
there have been a great many improve
ments and reforms in the city which
stranger does not recognize, but which old
timers who have been here frequently in
the past will thoroughly appreciate. In
the first place. the streets are as clean as
those of any Swiss or German city and
lists and other visitors have been abated.
During the last twenty twenty-five
years Naples acquired a very had reputa
ton. II was full of swindlerS and con-
idence men: the hsckmen and guides
were dishonest and often robbers: the
streets swarmed with beggars and ped
dlers who were as persistent mos
became so bad that thousands of travellers
were either driven away after a visit of
day or two kept away altogether
Realizing the injury which this reputa
ton was causing the city and the loss
of trade on that account, an OrganiZa
ton called the Pro-NapoH Society
organized among the merchants, hte hotel
keepers and the better class of people to
bring about reforms and make Naples
more attractive To strangers. This has
been done to remarkable extent by the
vice mayor. Conte Giacomo Pscelli. a
former military officer and a man of
great energy and courage, with the sup
port and encoura cement of the society |
have named.

Commissioners Favor Law OF
Supply and Demand.
COSTLINESS OF INCREASE
Argue That Skilled Workmen. Too,
Will Exact More Pay.
WOULD ADD 100000 A YEAR
Contracts Now Entered Into Would
Be Disturbed Is Another Argu-
ment Against Scale.

Holding that the effect of the bill now
in Congress to make laborers' wages
uniform at 50 day would upset exist
ing contracts with the District and
would play havoc with the Commission
ers' plans for public works for months
to come. the Commissioners have sent
an adverse report to Senator Burkett
chairman of a subcommittee appointed
by Senator GaIinger to consider this
piece of legislation and its effect on the
District of Columbia.
Favor Supply and Demand Rule.
The Commissioners believe that there
Is plenty of common labor in sight at
the prevailing rates of 1.25, $50 and
S1.15 a day. and that the law of sup
ply and demand docs not call for any
such increased scale of wages to the Ia
borers who dig bitches, remove garbage
and perform similar services for the Dis
trict. Moreover. they advance the argu-
ment that should common labor be made
more expensive that skilled labor will
take an upward trend
Capt Markham and Capt. Kelly have
figured out the results of an increase
in the sewer department. water depart
ment highway department. street clean
ing department and every other branch
of the District government where labor
plays a part in the estimates. and have
reported to the Commissioners that 81 a
day common labor would cost the Dis
trict. on its present basis S10J,0O0 more
a year.
Should skilled labor take step up
ward. has been predicted should this
bill become a law, the District would
spend $136OOO more a year
Estimated Added Cost of 100000.
Assuming that contract labor would
ultimately be increased in the same ratio
as is contemplated by the bill, taking
the 1910 contract labor as basis for
computation the Commissioners figure
that contract work would cost over $500
600 year.
Contracts and plans already made by
the District extend over period of more
than a year. The appropriation acts
now in conference have been figured out
with the prevailing prices for labor as a
basis for that work which requires labor.
The Commissioners have reported that
an increase in labor wages would de-
crease the amount of work they could
accomplish. They say that If the meas
ure becomes q law II should be postponed
at least sr5T.

appropriately that although most OF
us will occupy humble positions in
our nation, yet 1t is just that kind Of
people who make up the nation, de-
termining what 1t is and what it shall
be. 1t would be sad day. not only
for this nation but for the whole
world IL our country should ever
cease to stand for justice and purity
and should be dominated by selfish
ness. But that day shall never come.
Our country shall continue to ad-
vance and raise its banners higher
and higher and nearer the true ideal.
Mrs. Minnie z. Merriam, county
superintendent of schools. who was
present in one of the rooms, gave a
very pleasing short talk, appropriate
to the occasion.
After the indoor exercises the many
visitors and children adjourned TO
the lawn to witness the May pole
drills and marches. given by children
from the lower grades. The exercises
were nicely carried out and were
watched with intena interest and
admiration by every one. When the
king and queen led their fairies of
the green every one cheered them

ticular feature of your high school
course may be, but l can say with
pleasure that the maintenance oi
classical studies in high schools
seems to me to be of the highest pos
sible Importance and value. A knowl-
edge of the ancient languages opens
the door to two magnificent litera-
lures, sufficiently different from our
own or from the literatures of any
modern country to give them a spe-
cial value for us moderns.
A knowledge of Greek and Latin is
also a key to the knowledge of the
whole ancient world and to a grasp
of history which it is impossible
otherwise to obtain.
These are only two among many
reasons which commend the study of
the Greek and Latin languages and
which makes 1t desirable that that
study should not be chiefly centered
on the grammar OF the languages but
in study of their literature and the
people that used them.
Wishing all success to your efforts,
am, faithfully yours.

Thurston Andrew White died at St.
Mary's hospital in Pueblo at 9:15
o'clock Saturday night in the pres
ence of the members of his family,
from cancer of the stomach after a
lingering illness.
Mr.. White was born in Rodney.
Gallia county. Ohio. July 1S. 1857
consequently was aged 81 years 10
months and days. He was married
TO Miss Rosetta Howver at Hice. Va.
and shortly afterward came to this
state and located in this city, where
he resided until his death few days
ago.
Although it was generally known
that Mr.. Whites condition was crit
ical the announcement of his death
yesterday morning was a great shock
to his friends in this city; all of
whom had hoped that his vitality
would be sufficient to enable him to
hold in check for several months at
least the ravages of the disease which
had fastened itself upon him. For
ten years after coming here Mr..
White was superintendent OF Capt B.
F. Rockafe'low's orchard in the Fruit
mere district. and in that capacity,
established a reputation as a horti-
culturist second to no man in the up
per Arkansas, valley and his advice
was sought by fruitgrowers through
out the state.
For seven or eight years he was
horticultural inspector for Fremont
county and at the time of his death
was president of the Colorado State
