Newport News Saturday afternoon OF
Rev " G. Starr p p, an honored,
widely known and beloved minister Of
the gospel. following the recent pass
ing OF another useful and beloved
Methodist minister, Rev, T. J. Taylor,
TO his eternal reward brought shock
to many hearts, despite DR., Starr s
age and feehleness Perhaps this was
owing to the fact that 1t was not an
easy thing TO associate death with one

and so energetic in acton rs DR. Starr

many years DR.. Starr filled the pull
pits Of some of the most prominent
Methodist churches in our Virginia
cities, and his brilliant preaching and

admirers and friends. In his prime
he was one of the most popular
preachers and platform speakers IN
the state and his great royal living
heart went out In helpful sympathy
TO all in distress and need.
White he was an intensely loyal and
true Methodist, he was broad in his
views and fraternal in his spirit to-
wards members Of other denomlna-

lie was an untiring worker and de-

afflicted Nor did he indulge In mere
empty words OF sympathy. but he gave

1t was a touching sight to look
upon this grand old soldier of the
cross near the close of his lengthy
J life. When his physical powers were
feeble, his movements slow and hest
tating and the fires Of his brillia mt
wit and exhuberant fancy were burn

give slightly more nutriment in this
particular than is required.
The great difference in cost as com
pared with expensive cuts OF meat is
obvious. The use Of whole wheat -four
in bread and biscuits insures proper
muscular activity, and it is also more
easily digested while the bran, given
up to the alimentsry tract, stimulates
its action and keeps its contents NOV

THE careful caterer must remem-
Der that everything in life Is
dependent upon proper food
supply, that is, upon a properly
hourished body. The physical sins OF
ov.r-indulgence are as glaring as those
o. underfeeding. Both must be guard
Cd against, especially during warm
weather, because at this time the ap-
petite becomes capricious, the diges-
noa is apt 20 be sluggish and the bod
ny functions in general are lowered IN
tone.
Too much stress cannot be laid upon
clean, fresh food Of the very best
quality. A summer dietary should be

they are temptingly white, they
sprinkle the lettuces TO keep them
crisp and fresh, aud turn the rosy
cheeks of the prickly pears toward
the customers to make them forget
the spines that Turk therein. The
woman at the horseradish cart, where
this tear-inducing relish is grated
fresh for each customer by the penny
worth, wipes her eyes patiently as
she turns the wheel. "Men must
work and women must weep" says an
old proverb, but in this case she seems
to be doing both.
The pushcart merchant is his own
boss; he pays for the goods, whatever
they may be, before they are offered
for sale; he pays no rent, only a
small license fee to the city; he pays
for no delivery service, carries no
charge customers, and pays no over
head expenses, depending for his
wrapping paper on the newspapers
that blow his way. So he sells for
almost nothing -nothing, at least,
compared TO the prices charged by the
avenue greengrocer.
The amount of business daily
transacted by these sidewalk mer-
chants is incomprehensible. They do
hundreds of dollars worth of bust
ness and are an absolute necessity TO
the poor people of the neighborhood.
In that section Of the city about $4,000
Italians and Scilians live, most OF
them dependent upon this market.
The shops and stores that border the
market are devoted TO the sale OF
dried fruits and vegetables, macaroni
pastes of all varieties, meat and fish,
bakeries and coffee houses.
The fish stalls predominant, as more
fish than meat is consumed in the
locality. The most prosperous fish
dealer has been in business eighteen
years at the same stand, and, be-
sides his we'll stocked, up-to-date re-
frigerators, he has, under the awning
on the walk, large tank OF live
cells, a popular staple OF the Italian
table.
Many Of the merchants specialize;
for instance, one is justly celebrated
for his fine garlic, and another for his
peppers and fresh herbs; one Italian
woman for her fresh fruit pies, which
are not a bit like our American pies,
but look like very light, fluffy fried
cakes filled with fruit. The coffee
house confectionery window holds
many cakes and confections unknown
to us. But one special potcheese cake.

(ST'RY a Wrinkle, lady! Maka good
salad with garlic and plenty
OIL" The "lsdy" addressed
was on a marketing adventure in the
famous Italian pushcart market OF the
upper East Side. When accostcd she
had paused beside the periwinkle mer-
chant TO ask IL any snsils were to be
had in market that morning. He as
sured her there were, but on a shady
side street cart, for "snails no lika
dsun." Then he urged a compromise
on q Wrinkle.
The market extends about five blocks
along First Avenue, encroaching OIL
the side streets almost to Second Ave
nue. in some places. These side streets
are the drygoods sections of the MAJ
ket, bristling with bargains, the wares
being conveyed thither in discarded
baby carriages, toy carts and push
carts Of every sort
The range of merchandise offered
varies not only with the season, but
with the time of day or evening ont
visits the market. In the daytime the
necessities of life are bargained for;
at night, under the flaming torches
the questionable Injuries are sought
jewelry, fancy china, ready party
and wedding gowns, cheap laces arr
summer furs.
Women form the dominant note in
this strange market centre, where bur
little English is spoken and there is n,
evidence of race suicide. In fact. one
is tempted to pause long enough in TIE
surging, pushing crowd of customers
and vendors 70 wonder if, when night

HERE is bill pending
in Congress TO control
III i the transportation of
A-t immature calves. IL
I0 mildly proposes that
no live calf shall be
ii transported under six
- weeks OF age. unless
accompanied by its mother-with the
possible exception OF shipments IN
emergencies mature of said emergency
not Defined Of calves over three weeks
old, when the entire time Of shipment
shall not exceed twelve hours.
Many unsavory and inhumsns facts
lie concealed behind this brief and
prosaic document. The traffic as now
conducted is disgusting both from It's
cruelty and its threat TO the public
health.
Testimony showed that calves from
one day old 70 two weeks are shipped
in large numbers. sometimes being
from thirty to ninety hours en- route
and without food, many Of them never
having been taught TO drink.
The opposition maintained that four
weeks was a sufficient Limitation, but
no one denied the dangers and cruelty
Of the present practices. A time of
transit of twenty-four hours vas also
demanded instead OF the twelve hours
prescribed by the act.
The flesh Of these calves is immature,
contains an undue amount OF water and
is said 10 afford a fertile medium for
the growth Of toxins. Animals OF such
immaturity, slaughtered after a period
Of starvation and exposure, can hardly
form a wholesome food, even IL il is
not actually poisonous.
One cannot but wonder whether the
prejudice against veal in this country
and the claim by many that they cam
not digest it-while abroad it is con-
sidered q delicacy and fed especially 70
invalids-may not be due in part 10
these barbarous and unhygienic prae-
tees.
Our dairy states, such as New York
and Massachusetts, are especially cul-
pable in this regard, since the calves
are taken as soon as possible from the
mother, that no loss Of milk may re-
suit.
When not sold as veal the meat is
"boned out" and sold for sausage and
for canned chicken"
SO much for health and humanity
versus greed and cruelty.
Who wins II remains 20 be seen.

not overripe, and be thoroughly washed
before being used TO make jelly or jam.
In making blackberry jelly it is wise
10 select very ripe berries and squeeze
the Juice from them without cooking,
as the bugs, bred in the vines, often
crawl into the interstices Of the ber-
ries, and it is impossible to drive them
out by washing.
Try the Sugar-Losf Pineapple.
August is the time to preserve the
sugar-loaf pineapples, the finest that
come to our markets. Although these
pines are larger and more expensive
than the other sort, they are more
economical in the end, for their skin is
thin and quite smooth, the eyes have
no depth, the centre core is small, and
when il is removed the juice may be
squeezed out of it with lemon
squeezer so that every bit that is good
is used. This grade of pineapple is not
to be had in the ordinary shop, but 1t
will be found in the large markets or
wholesale fruit houses.
In putting up jams and jellies do not
forget, if there are children in the
family, to put some of each into in
dividual tumblers for the school
luncheons. Among the late season
jellies are green grape, mint, crab
apple. apple, ounce, beach plum and
tomato. The vegetable jams, while new
to many, are staples on the vegeta-
RAMS table, and few of them are well
worth adding to the winter stock.
Plotting Meats and Fish at Home.
Little is printed or said to-day OF
the potting and putting up of meat,
game or fish for winter use; possibly
this is because all these things are
acceptably put up in tin and glass by
the various Gamers and are procurable
even in rural districts. Also there is
danger of ptomsine poisoning of a
serious nature II the sterilization and
sealing is not perfect. Therefore meats
and FISH should not be attempted by
the amateur.
But the experience Of one woman
who lived on a farm in Northern Ohio
is interesting. She spent last summer
