which government by commission was brought about in Trenton, and told of some of the evils which were immed- lately remedied when the commission government went into effect.
 He explained for one thing that commission government means an inn mediate looping of the salaries of practically all public officials and em- ployes This, he said, is now saving Trenton thousands of dollars every year.
 He admitted that it is true that the taxes of Trenton will advance con- siderably under commission govern ment, but said that this is due to the fact that previous city governments had been. skinning necessary improve ments in order to keep the tax. rate down and that burden of debt had been left for the new administration to shoulder. He declared, however, that the city would get things accom- pIished that it never had before.
 At the conclusion of his sketch on the new system he was subject to considerable "quizzing'' on the subject by interested members of his. audi ence, and answered the questions with apparent satisfaction to the question CTS.

Especial from United Press)
 MiddletOwn Oct. 12-The country constable, today, has been vindicated. Constable Thomas F. Griffin, Of this city, who arrested Private Detective John Hartnett, of Boston, on a body writ in $16,0O0 damage suit for slan- der, is the vin6cator. The detective from the Hub figured in the trial of the four men accused with train wrecking, who were discharged, yes- terday. When Griffin informed Hart- nett that he was under arrest, the private detective was inclined to treat the matter lightly He told Griffin he would come when he got good and ready, so the constable says. Griffin promptly seized Hartnett by the collar and marched him to the office of the plaintiffs lawyer. Hart> nett was loud in his resentment, to- day, and especially against Constable Griffin. You did not act like a gen. tIeman," said Griffin, in the sleuth's presence. You will find you can't bluff country constables.'' We don't try to bluff them neighbor," said Hartnett We just look them over and smile"
 Hartnett called one of the suspect ed train wreckers murderer" and this is the basis of the suit. A New Haven attorney put up $10,000 bail for Hartnett.

ON FEEDING
 TUBERCULOUS PATIENTS

Von Ruck points out how diverse are views of authorities as to the feeding of tuberculous patients, al-
 though all are agreed that they should be we'll nourished- Some are in, favor of forced feeding and
 others are against this method. The tuberculosis individual reqiures more food and more proteids than one in health, and upon these principles have been based attempts to formu
 late standard dietaries for tubercu- lous patients. von Ruck, however, from his own experience, is opposed to overlooking in tuberculosis. Indi- gestion may be brought on thereby and poisoning of the system from pu- trefaction of food in the intestines raw eggs, a. routine food of consump- tive patients. only serve to aggravate the condition and should be exclud
 ed from the diet .Buttermilk should be substituted for sweet milk, the diff ference in nutritive value of which consists almost entirely in the re- moval of the butter fat. Buttermilk can usually be taken in large quan- ti.ses without causing indigestion, does n~t cause constipation and tends to pex>>.snt putrefactive processes in the fntestines. von Ruck is of the op1n- ion that. so far as diet is concerned in tuberculous disease, it is by care ful study of the individual alone that best results can be attained. Nor is increase of weight to be desired Tn a patient beyond that of making up for previous losses As matter of fact, although loss of weight is an linfayorable symptom and one which should be remedied if possible as soon as possible, to make patients fat and to secure normal nutrition are not tasks. Indeed, we all ap- preciate the disadvantages of large fat lobster as the expression of de- 5icient oxidation and tissue metabol-' ism, and we know from experience that the resistance to disease of such fnt patteuts is. as a rule, below par.

CALABASH PIPE SUGGESTED
 FOR WOMEN SMOKERS
Special from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.
 New London, Oct. 12.-The cala- bash or even a meerschaum is strongly urged as a substitute for woman's cigarettes by a local paper, today. We do not approve of wo- men smoking in public at all until the custom becomes general" said the editor. we think it is much better that women should smoke a calabash pipe in public than a cigar ,ette. Somehow, it looks more man ly. It Is bad enough when man smokes cigarette.
 "The calabash pipe does not drop it's ashes on the tablecloth or stain the fingers
 These thoughts were inspired by Alderman Dowling's crusade against the cigarette in New York.

Novels by Welaht.

Bernard Shaw's latest contribution
to the worlds fund Of wisdom is the
suggestion that fiction be sold, or
bought by weight. This certainly is
Mr.. Shaw's profoundest utterance. 1t
marks the acme of his greatness as a
sage. BY all means buy 1t by weight,
then there can be very little ground
for complaint at the high price OF
novels. Moreover, 1t will be in direct
line with this popular movement to
buy groceries by weight, as means of
solving the high-cost-of-living problem
and getting ones moneys worth,
Perhaps, also, this Shaw system will
have the desired effect of limiting the
output, of bringing the supply some
where lear the demand. The present
method of buying 1t b. the yard seems
utterly to have failed in this achieve
