Erie Traction Company, operating In
Erie county, to amend its tariff
regulations relating to the additional
fare charged to passengers who pay
Il cash fare In excess of 10 cents so
that the same shall not apply to
those passengers who board the car
at nonagency stations" This is to be
done by September 2S.
The complaint against the COM
pany was filed by Representative H.
T. Skunk. of Erie county. The COM
pany contcnded that the additional
fare is not demanded with Intention
of increasing the revenue, but to in
sure all cash fares paid on the car
being properly accounted for" The
commission says that the rule places
on such a passenger the burden of
presenting his receipt for the excess
flare at the agency station Of the
company in order to have 1t re-
deemed. because. through no fault of
his own, he has not provided himself

RasBIElcAL LAWS OF HEALTH
Purity, Aim Of Most Of the Sanitary
Mandates, Was to Be Not Only
Physical, but Also Moral.

Among the rabbis who expounded
the law to the old-time Jews, the
neglect Of ones health was regard
ed as a SIM" writes DR.. Joseph H.
Marcus, attending physician to the
Jewish Seaside home, Atlantic City,
in the Medical Record.
''Purity, which was the aim Of
most Of the Biblical sanitary laws,
was to be not only physical, but also
moral"
Among the rabbinical laws Of
health which Doctor Marcus quotes
and which, he says, are generally OBJ
served to this day among the ortho-
dox Jews, are the following:
''No one should force himself to
eat, he should wait until'he is really
hungry, not hurry his meal and not
talk while eating.
"After all solid food eat salt, and
after all beverages drink water.
at was forbidden to eat the meat
Of an animal that had eaten poison,
or to eat meat and fish together, or
to drink water left uncovered over
night.
"It was forbidden to touch dur
ing meals any part of the body which
is usually covered or to hold bread
under the arm.
"Coins should not be placed in the
mouth, as there is the apprehension
that they have been touched by per-
sons suffering from contagious dis
eases.
"They warned against eating
heavy meals Immediately before go
ing to bed, and approved of lying
first on the left side and then on the
right side, this being considered
good for digestion"

HAS A NEW FLOATING NINE
Government Considering Marine Con-
tact Device Designed 70 Destroy
Only Enemy Vessels.

Our government has under consid-
Grafton q marine contact mine Of an
unusually interesting type, says Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. 1t may
or may not, prove to be suitable for
general adoption, but at any rate il
has the merit of ingenuity and there
fore is worth notice. Unlike ordi-
nary mines, this one operates on a se-
lecti7e principle. In other words, il,
is designed to destroy enemy vessels
without endangering the friendly
Ones-for which a simple protective
device has been provided-that COLI
lide with it.
Technical details of the invention
cannot, of course, be divulged, but Il
general description is permissible
The outer shell of the mine is buih
Of pressed steel and equipped with 6 |
group of magnetic disks, which are
employed in place of the firing pins
customarily used. The instant that
steel, iron or any similar metal comes
in contact with one Of the disks, a
clock motor, housed within the buoy,
is set in motion. 1t in turn operates
a trigger and causes the discharge of
a illuminate cap that detonates the
explosive. Thus any unprotected
steel vessel would explode the mine
on contact.

THAT cAN'T-eo-oN FEELING.

There are very few people, l guess,
who haven't been gripped by the
can't-go-on feeling. There are very
few people who haven't felt that they
were fast coming to the end Of
everything, writes Margaret E. Sang
ster, in the Christian Herald. Ma
poleon must have felt it as he strug-
gled through the SHOWS of Russia
with a suffering, doubling army
struggling after. Washington, freez-
ing at Valley Forge, might-if only
for a minute-have wondered if the
game were worth the candle! Lin
coin. with his country divided and
Staying itself, must have known his
dark, hopeless dawns when he was
forced to say, in the anguish Of his
soul, 81 can't finish my task! It's
too much for pep' Helen Keller,
Florence Nightingale, Jane Addams
"a score OF heroic figures have
doubtless felt the touch Of disoour-
agement and defeat. And yet all of
them made themselves, go on-re-
fused to admit their inability to play
the game Of life

UNDER ECONOMY RULES.

Forced economy is practiced by
the German prisoners of war in
termed in England. Some of these
men are wealthy, one estimating his
income at between 100000 and
$15O,0OO a year. One of the regrets
of these rich prisoners is that they
are not allowed to spend all they
would like. They are limited to an
expenditure lof SIS a alweek for lux
uries, and these luxuries must not
include anything containing meat,
sugar, flour or milk. Hence some oc-
casionally buy as much as two
pounds of tobacco a week, or its
equivalent in 100 cigars or goo
cigarettes.

URGES USE OF PAPER SKIRTS
Economist Would Also Have Women
Wear Wooden Shoes, as Measure
TO Help Finance the Great War.

That it is time for the women OF
the country to cut loose from silks
and satins, do away with eccentrici-
ties Of fashion and sally forth in pa
per skirts and wooden shoes to help
finance the war was the thought pro-
mulgated at a "wsr finance con-
gress" by DR.. Simon N. Patten, for
mer professor at the University Of
Pennsylvania, observes the Phils-
delphia Record. Along the same line
of reasoning the men Of the country
should forswear purple spats and all
things which tend to adorn rather
than have a utilitarian value.
When Doctor Patten declared for
paper skirts for women one woman
in the audience was heard to say
quite audibly, "Does the professor
forget that sometimes it rains ?" One
Of the economists present thought it
would not be bad idea if the people
would cut loose with their old flour
sacks and make them into UNDER
clothes or utilize burlap for making
clothes for those who could net af-
ford to pay the high price of tailors'
bills.
Doctor Patten said the women Of
Germany we're already wearing pa
per skirts and wooden shoes and by
other similar methods had cut down
the living costsof the nation until
only 40 per cent of the nations in-
come was necessary for domestic pur-
poses and 60 per cent of the peoples
incomes could be used for carrying
on the physical burdens of the war.

HIGHWAYS ON PACIFIC COAST
Interesting Figures Secured by Call.
fcrnia Experts on Pull Required
r. 20 Move Wagon.

An energetic ard influential organ
izntion on the Pacific coast, the Cali
fornia State Automobile association,
has carried on some investigations af-
fording definite figures Of the value OF
good roads. 1t secured the help Of Prof.
J. b. Davidson Of the University Of
California and Austin B. Fletcher,
state highway engineer, In carrying on
large number of tests Of the pull re-
quired to move a standard farm wagon
loaded to make the gross weight 5000
pounds. This wagon was hauled In
some cases by a two-ton truck and In
other cases by a team of good draft
horses, weighing about 1,600 pounds
each.
Tests have shown that a pull of 81
to 80 pounds per ton of gross load was
needed to haul the wagon on unsur-
faced concrete roads. When the con-
crete was surfaced with oil and screen
ings the pull was increased to about 80
pounds. About 65 pounds were needed
for hauling on water-bound macadam
and on bituminous concrete laid on top
of cement concrete. On good gravel
roads pull Of 65 to 81 pounds was
needed. while on loose gravel the pull
was 263 pounds. the highest record In
any Of the tests. About 80 pounds
were required for hauling on bitumin-
GUS macadam. On earth roads %
pounds were required for hauling over
a good surface covered with III inches
of loose dust, 90 pounds over an ordi-

The roads are an index Of the char
acter of any country, determining its

CHANGE ROUTE OF VESSELS
-Four japanese Passenger Liners Are
Transferred 70 Yokohams-seattie
Line for Regular Services.

The japanese Steamship company
has transferred four Of its best pas
senger liners from the London-Yoko-
hama route to the Yokohama-Seattle
line, says East and West.
Owing to the increased volume Of
business between japan and the
United States, this company expects
to continue TO run these four chips
to America after the war. A reduc-
tion was made in the passenger rate
TO $125 for a single cabin, and S76
for second class. II is expected, how
ever, that these prices will be in
creased. All these ships are named
after famous shrines in japan, and
decorated with reproductions OF
scenery surrounding these holy
places. Each vessel has q displace-
ment Of 81, 900 tons. They are rated
as to carrying capacity at 10000

A most significant feature Of road

The significance of these figures lies
in the fact that on a good earth road

the pull that is required on con-

required on a macadam road. Fur
thermore, when the earth road be-
