Important Case
 Again Continued
 By City Tribuna!

Again continuing the case of Jacob Weinstein, a local butcher charged with violating state and city laws in butchering Dob or under-aged Veal, Judge Foster in the city court this morning failed to reveal his decision on this important case.
 Wefnstein was arrested many weeks ago. Attorney Joshua Msltzer, rep resenting him, attacked the, charge against him in two important grouOds;; first that the local Board Of Health has no right to make laws; second, that the Connecticut state statute concerning the sale of bob veal is unconstitutional in that it prohibits the sale of the veal gener- ally, for any purpose, instead of sim. ply prohibiting the sale of it for human consumption. Under the cir cumstances Attorney Meltzer com. plains that the law is an unconstitu- tional restraint of trade
 When the case originally came to triad, Judge Foster took the papers and continued it until today, to give it plenty consideration. Today the case was continued until the 27th If Attorney, Joshua. Meltzer's conten- tfons are upheld it will be a severe blow to the board of health and will leave the state without any bob" veal protection until another session of the legislature.

GOTHAM GOSSIP
(Ry Francis Phillips Copyright 1910. by the National News Service. N. Y.)

New York, Jan. 13.-AIarmed at the
 growing number of young women call | ing for mall matter at the General Delivery window of the Post Office or | having it forwarded to them at pri- vate letter boxes throughout the city, Postmaster Morgan has given orders to hold up for inspection and invesli- gation all such matter addressed in future in this way. Most of the cor l respondence coming under the bann IS said by the postmaster to be of a sur unknown to the families of the girls and to be one of the most sinister and dangerous practices to which q guilelesS and foolish young women
 women engaged in it are declared to be the daughters of refined. well to do parents, who have picked up'' ac- quaintances with designing strangers and f1atter themselves as having won a beau.
 %We have cleared the malls of get rich-quick literature,' says MT. Mor- gan, largely of suggestive matter and we purpose to clear the mails of the letters of young girls written to boys without the knowledge of their pa hearts, many troubles would be avoid ed if parents maintained a closer su- pervision over the letters of their chil- dren. No young girls or boys can re- ceIve letters addressed to them, care of the general delivery of this post office, without showing up the reason for doing so. Many letters were sent to young girls by men who had made their acquaintance through a chance
 irritation.
 "Very often these men were of im- moral character, and not infrequently we found that the letters were quite as immoral as the men. Something had to be done to stop 1t. I assign ed several of our inspectors to the called for mail she was questioned as to why she received her correspon- dence in that fashion. If she was un- able to give a satisfactory explana- withheld and her parents communicat- ed with. In most cases we found that the parents knew nothing of the girl receiving letters in that way Anyway, that system soon put stop to it. Young girls only call for gen. eral delivery letters on rare occasions now. They still have to give expla- nations"
 master, i've discovered that many girls were receiving mail under dctt- tious names at private letter boxes in candy stores, stationery stores, etc, near their homes or schools. We soon put an end to the private letter box scheme. Why, we found that thirty girls attending a certain high school uptown had rented boxes in candy store near the school, for which they paid fifty cents a month each, and were receiving scores of letters from young men. Many o1 them were i1tA- proper letters. They may not have appeared so to the schoolgirls, but they were nevertheless.
 ''It didn't take long to settle that either. Mall carriers now report any instance of this kind of which they become informed. Then an inspec- tor Is sent out and the matter is soon ended. The general delivery is not intended for residents of New York, anyhow. If you have business ad- dress or a home address, that is the proper place for your mall to be sent The general delivery was intended for traneients."

Not Looking For Trouble.

Several years ago the government for
bade polygamy among the lndians-an
order that was not, il seems, implicitly
obeyed. Quanah Parker, chief OF the
Comanches, told the committee on Indian
affairs that many OF his tribe had more
than one wife. The committee directed
him to tell the offenders that this condi-
ton OF affairs must cease; that the extra
wives must be sent home TO their parents.
Alta later session Parker again appeared
before the committee.
"Did you tell your bucks that they
must have but one wife, Parker 2"
"Yes, me tell 'um," responded the In
dian.
"Did they get rid OF the extra wives 2"
ayes, all gone," answered the chief.
"But," urged committeeman, 81 am

"Now that will not do, Parker. You

them to 60 home"

Mhere Ihe Whetstone Was.

Judge Lands OF the Northern District
Court of Illinois is fond, according to the
New York Sun, of telling this anecdote
of Lincoln:
In 1884. when Lincoln was candidate
for the legislature, he called on a certain
farmer TO ask for his support. He found
him in the hay field. and was urging his
cause when the dinner bell sounded.
The farmer invited him to dinner, but he
declined politely, and added:
"If you win LEI me have the scythe
while you are gone, will NOW round
The field a couple of tines"
When the farmer returned, he found
three rows neatly moved. The scythe
lay against the gatepost. but Lincoln had
disappeared.
Nearly thirty years afterward the farmer
and his wife, now grown old, were at a
White House reception, and stood wait
ing in line 10 shake hands with the Pres
ident.
"When they got near him in the line, "
says Judge Lands, Lincoln saw them,
and calling an aid, told him to take them
TO one OF the small parlors where he
would see them as soon as he got through
the hand shaking. Much surprised, the
old couple were led away. Presently
Mr.. Lincoln came in, and greeting them
with an outStretched hand and warm
smile, called them by name.
"'Do you mean 10 say, exclaimed the
farmer, that you remember me after all
these years?'
"I certainly do, said the President,
and he went on to recall the day he had
moved round the farmers timothy field.
"YeS, that's So, said the old man, still
in astonishment. Il found the field now
ed, and the scythe leaning up against the
gate-poSt. But have always wanted TO
ask you one thing
"'What is that p asked Mr.. Lincoln.
"T always wanted TO ask you, Mr..
President, what you did with the whet-
stone p
Lincoln Smoothed his hair back from
his brow a moment. in deep thought !;
then his face lighted up.
"Yes, | remembsr now he said. Il
put the whetstone on top Of the high
gate-post,'
"And when he got back TO Illinois again
the farmer found the milestone on top OF
the gate-port, where il had lain for more
than twenty-five years."

SprainS.

A sprain results when joint or NUS
Gle is wrencheds so violently that the liga-
ments or tendous are torn or even
stretched.
The word strain is used to describe in
juries so slight that although there is
pain and stiffness, there is no swelling.
Such injuries are treated by tight band
aging or "strapping'-to the end that the
parts may have rest and comfort while re-
covering. The word sprain always de-
scribes injuries that are accompanied by
swelling, which is caused by bleeding
into the tissues, and which may be eth
er simple or complicated. A simple
sprain is marked by pain, tenderness,
loss OF power and swelling, and conf
plicated sprain by more serions trouble
such as torn cartilage or broken bone.
Proper treatment of asprain varies with
the extent OF the mischief, but there are
certain things that must always be done.
Bleeding into the tissues must be checked,
Inflammation prevented as lar as possible;
pain relieved; absorption promoted; the
torn ligaments repaired, and the joint re-
stored TO a condition in which II can per-
form its work properly.
II has been said that slight sprains need
little treatment, but great deal OF care;
for sprain that is so slight as TO be al
most unnoticed is often followed by stnic-
tural changes in the joint. A sprained
joint should be tightly bandaged at once,
and the flow OF blood into the tissues
should be checked by means OF cold ap-
plicationS.
A little later there is nothing so useful
as proper massage to promote absorption
and restore power TO the joint. II the
injury is to a leg. the patient SHOULD be
put 10 bed; if TO an arm, he should wear
a sling. However slight the injury may
appear. the part must have rest II Is TO
get well.

In green and gorgeous phalanx march the captains

Along the Shenandoah
When the morns OF Maytime gleam

Beneath the morning spendor OF the bright blue
