Between
Ourselves

Prof. Bergonie, the Bordeaux
savant, saws that a mild electric
shock is better for the system
and more nourishing than a
square meal.
Step up, ladies and gentlemen,
and partake of a lfve-wire meal
the current tarts are fine to-
day,
Seriously speaking. however,
the French doctors theory may
not be far out of the way. or
course II it came to a choice be-
tween a mild and in~wigorating
electric jolt or a juicy sirloin
steak for our evening meal, we
should doubtless select the latter.
but electricity Is a good thing If
taken In homeopathic doses, and
IL we Americaps could only learn
to take MORE electricity and
LESS food the race would be far
better off.
We eat too much and we eat
too fast, and we don't think of
our food which we ARE eating.
Who's going to be the first to
substitute electric juice for meat
gravy?
Don't all speak at once.

BOARD DECLINES TQ ORDER
BAN ON COMMUNION CUP
Say 1t Is church's Duty to Take
Action.

An attempt was last night made
TO have the Board of Health place
the church communion cup under
the ban of sanitary regulations Just
the same as the ordinary drinking
cup. The action was suggested by
Health Commissioner Schalk. who
held. that IT, an ordinary drinking cup
is dangerous to The public health,
the dangers of THE communion cup
were two-fold.
The commissioner explained that 1t
was his experience that persons were
not so prone to go to communion
when they are well. but when they
are sick they are pretty sure to make
use of the. cup.
The other commissioners. however,
thought that 1t was a matter for the
churches themselves to take up.
Health Commissioner Chandler said
that it would be a good move to pro-
vide sanitary regulations for the cup,
but said it was really the duty oil
the churches to do this voluntarily.
No action was taken by the board. :
DR.. John l.. Meeker vas appointed
medical director of the Newark Tu-
~berculosis Sanitarium at a salary OF

REVOKE CHICKEN LICENSE
FOR VIOLATION OF CODE

For a violation of the code. the
permit of Jacob Campbell, of 81 jack
son street, to raise chickens for pri-
vate use was revoked last night by
the Board of Health. 1t was shown
to the board that he was raising them
for commercial purposes.
Commissioner Mclean called the
attention of the board to the fact
that, because of its action last week
in refusing the petitions for several
chicken slaughter houses in the IRON
bound district, 1t had aided in giving
one dealer a monopoly. Until last
night there was only n such place
in operation. but the board after
ward granted the petition of Bernard
Silver, of ESQ Prince street, which
had been denied at a previous meet
ing.
