Eating Without Owning.

The supreme court of errors of Con-
necticut decides in Merrill VS.. Hodson
that a restaurant keepers service OF
food on a patrons order for immediate
consumption is not a sale of goods,
since the consumer does not become
the owner Of the food served, but mere
ly has the privilege of consuming what
he needs. The court accordingly
ruled that a suit would not lie against
a restaurant keeper under the sale of
goods act, in which there was implied
warranty that the food served was
wholesome and fit for consumption.
The court said that the remedy of
guest injured at a restaurant by i'm
proper food served to him must be
based on the negligence Of the proprl-
etor.-New York Sun.

this objection is not very serious. BY

RevoIutionIzed Naval Warfare.

One hundred years ago the steam
frigate Fulton the first steam vessel
Of war ever built in the world, was
launched at New York. The vessel
was designed by Robert Fulton and
was built with an appropriation made
by congress in 1913. 1t fulfilled all
the expectations Of is builders, but
was not completed in time to take
part in the second war with Great
Britain The navies engaged in that
war consisted wholly of sailing ships
Some of these carried as many as "A
guns each and otherwise We're very
formidable engines Of destruction. But
even the largest of these were soon
discarded from the navies of the world
after the appearance of the steam
warships, of which the Fulton was the
pioneer. The completion Of the Full
ton was a step in naval development
that was not TO be e1ualed in impor
tance until the building Of the first
ironclad, nearly half a century later

urnea Use Of Mushrooms.

In the Berliner Tageblatt, Dr. Fritz
Showronnek urges strongly, in the
present scarcity Of foodstutfs, the more
general use of mushrooms, which cost
very little to raise, and are very nour-
ishing. Other countries, he says, have
long availed themselves of this edible,
which in Germany is strangely neg
lected. In Russia, Bohemia and all
other Slavic countries, the forests are
constantly being secured for mush-
rooms. He suggests that knowledge
of mushrooms be impaired in the pub
lie schools. Last year he says, he Sc
lected the school children of large
village for a practical demonstration
in mushroom lore. A dozen teachers
and 60 children accompanied him,
after brief Introductory lecture, to
the woods, and within an hour the pu-
pills were able to recognize 35 kinds Of
edible mushrooms.

KISSING on street Proper.

1t is not disorderly conduct for two
men to frequently kiss girl when
they are bidding her good night at
street corner. At least that is the de-
cision handed down by Justice Dean
of the northeastern police district.
Charles Lawson and his brother,
Harry Lawson, had attended party in
northeast Baltimore with Miss Eva
Bova. After the party adjourned they
accompanied the girl to the street.
They we're kissing and hugging each

Patrolmen Callahan and Murray and

1t is not necessary to have city
water supply in order to have running
water in the house. There must, of
course, be a supply under pressure
from some source; but this may be had
from a tank which is filed by a pump
either from cistern or a well. OF
course the supply must be sufficient
for the needs OF the family, and it
should be so thoroughly well arranged
and connected, and so well adapted to
the purpose, that there will be no
shortage, with no tinkering necessary.

 "A word in regard to so-called 'ad ministrative expenditures.' Some peo- pie seem inclined to think that instead of giving a dollar to an Associated Charities and allowing them forty cents of it, say, for salary of workers and necessary office expenses. it would be better to dispense with that organization as medium, and put the whole dollar in the hands of the needy. A few moments thought will convince them that this is not true. Sometimes dollar is the most harmful thing needy person can have. It takes care and judgment to help people so that they will not be turned into paupers, but on the other hand, that they be

 "We consider the administrative ex- penses of the Pine Bluff organization exceedingly low when compared with other socities. The amount expended for material relief out of the general fund for four months is $169.97. Food and clothes given for the store room, free, is valued at $100. Special funds expended for relief amounted to $40, making a total of $30997. For sala- ries there have been paid out $230. For the printing of records, cards needed for an up-to-date accounting system stationery and postage, there has been spent, $46.3G. For office fix lures, $52.30. For telephone and tele- graph service, $722. The grand total of the amount which has been eX- pended is $546.79

BEGGING IS STOPPED

The first annual report of the As sociat'ed Charities, which covers however, only the time of it's exist ance from September 8, 1913, until January 1, this year, was prepared yesterday by the secretary, Miss Julia Houston The report shows that the Charities has accomplished a vast amount. of good on a smal expenditure, and many things whicf cannot be set down in cold figures The report, which is highly credit able to the organization and its workers, is as follows.
 Cases Handled.
 Since the eighth of September, the time of organization, The Associated Charities has handled 120 cases of dis tress, comprising 254 individuals bene- fited by the work. Of this number, " have been satisfactorily disposed of; the rest are still receiving care.
 Of these 120 cases, 68 or 119 peo- pie, were home cases, and o2 or 70 people, transients; 36 professional begggars ere moved from the streets and cared for by the Association when deserving, and 12 others ere turned over to the police department, without passing through the hands of the As sociated Charities.
 Visits and Interviews.
 About 127 visits were made to fam lilies in distress and persons interest ed; 254 interviews were held in the office with applicants for aid and z: with people consulting us.
 A record is kept of all important consultations by telephone, four o1 five hundred in number, and by mail There were :lree inquiries concerning cases from cu~ of town societies. ano five were sent to such soc'e:'es from this office.

Special Work Done.

"It is of course impossible to give only an inadequate idea of what has been done for these families in dis tress. Under the head of financial aid, may be found the amounts spent for food, groceries, transportation, cloth ing and the like, also the supplies giv- en out from our store room, whichis filled with clothing, groceries and so on, donated by charitable people from time to time.
 ''In addition to this relief. 2S peo- pie have been given medical atten- ton, given legal advice free, placed in the hospital at the expense of the Association, 4 in the poorhouse and 2 in better homes.
 "Five families have been removed from unhealthy or degrading sur roundings and permanent work has been secured for eleven people.
 -Four cases of tuberculosis have been treated by the Associated Chari- ties, supplied with milk, eggs and other nourishing food medicines and given open air treatment. In connection we might mention the excellent co-opera- ton we have had with the county and city physicians, and with others of the city.
 Street Begging.
 "One of the main businesses of the Associated Charities is the warfare on street begging. If you will compare Main street of this Christmas with that of a year previously, we think that you will readily admit that the Police Department and the Associated Charities have been 'on the job.' Some 50 or 60 transient beggars, blbind or crippled, strolling musicians or peddlers, have been stopped from plying their trade-not merely ordered out of town, but really aided, for the most part. For example. one particu- lar blind beggar was placed at the county poorhouse and has received treatment by a. specialist. His sight will be fully restored in @ few moro months.
 "Of the home beggars, not one re- mains. Even Blind Johnny" of mus ical fame, is earning an independent living selling friut and candy on Fourth avenue, under strict probation for good behavior, it must be added. If the public will only aid us by refusing to give to any beggars at home or ln the stores and will refer rreport all such to the Charities office, begging can be practically eliminated from Pine Bluff.
 Financial Standing.
 'The budget of the organization is S2,O0G per year. The expenditures may fall slightly below this calculated amount. This amount, by the way, is less than half the amount spent by the Fort Smith charities, and yet Pine Bluff averages more cases to the
