John ]. Hopper En-
dorses the Torrens
land Title System

How the complete adoption OF the
Torrens System OF land title, registra-
ton would effect big savings for
realty owners is told i'll the subjoined
article written especially FOR the Eve
ming Journa! by John J. Hopper, Reg
:ster OF New Yorl, county. At the
same time Mr.. Hopper explains why
title insurance companies oppose this
system. which is 50 important to cv-
cry property holder.
Mr.. Hoppcr's article follows:
The Torrens System is business
mans way of proving title What the
law merchant" is for negotiable in
struments. the Torrens System is for
real property titles. A single sheet OF
paper forming a certificate Of title.
contains the complete statement OF
the condition OF the title and gives the
name of the owner and the descrip-
ton of the land; also the mortgages,
leases and any other emcumberanccs
to which the land may be subject. No
other matters. except those which are
stated on the face o. tne certificate
have any legal effect on the title to
the land
The certificate OF title is issued in
duplicate. The original copy is kept
BY the registrar Of the county and is
used as ledger page on which arc
posted all future transactions, such as
mortgages. leases. judgments, etc.
The other copy. which is also an orig
inal, is kept by the owner as his eyi-
dence of title The certificate OF it'll,
is transferable on the written author
ity OF the owner at the office of the
registrar. The process of transfer is
exactly similar to the transfer Of
certificate OF stock on the books Of
corporation. and is done as chcaply
and quickly The Whole transaction
can be>accomplshcd in an hour or
less.

subsequent transactions they do not
examine the title again, but rely on
the previous examination They do
not examine them over and over
again, but they charge the public ov-
cr and over again, just the same as
though they had examined again.
Torrens System Saves Millions
The cost to real estate owners for
this repetition of charges amounts to
several million dollars year in the
city OF New York alone, Where an
owner now pays two or three humid
dred dollars for transfer, he will,
under the Torrens System, get the
same results for two or three dollars.
With Torrens title certificate
there is no need. as a rule, for the
employment of expert counsel to find
out the condition OF the title or to
interpret the legal meaning of docu-
ments Any intelligent layman can
read the certificate of title and de-
termine the title for himself The de-
tails OF the transfer are attended TO
by the registrars once and the re-
| sponsibility for the correctness of the
transfer is assumed by the public Of
fcials.
Safety
Security of title is absolutely nee
esSary, and this is obtained in the
highest degree by Torrcns certificates.
The state or county is back of every
certificate OF title. The history of the
Torrens System in Australia. Eng
land, Canada and in several American
states shows that the transfer of
property by means of Torrens certi-
hcates is almost wholly free from
loss, Experience in this respect is,
remarkable. The total loss of nbst
states and counties amounts to but
few hundred dollars, and in many
communities there has been no loss
at all, although the system has been

INTERCHANGEABLE FOODS.
Let Cost Determine What Source of
Starch to Use

Rice, wheat and corn, the common
usual in most families are relied on main
ly as sources of energy to the body and
have about the same value, pound for
pound. Therefore if rice, wheat flour,
cracked wheat, corn meal or hominy cost
the same per pound, they are equally
cheap fuel foods. Such foods, therefore,
can be freely interehanged if foods like
meat milk, eggs or beans and fruits or
vegetables are eaten also.
Most wheat breakfast foods and wheat
pastes, like macaroni or spaghetti, also
have about the same energy value as
wheat flour, corn and rice. They differ
very much in appearance and also in
bulk, according to the method of manu-
facture and the cost cannot be Judged
merely by the size of the package to be
obtained for five or ten cents. Now that
the law requires the net weight to be
marked on the outside of every package,
it is easy to reckon how much the food
material actually costs a pound. Thus
if the net weight of a l0-cent package of
breakfast food is eight ounces, pound,
or l6 ounces, would cost 90 cents.
As a general rule-and very Justly
the simpler preparations, which it has
taken less time and labor to put up,
cost less than the more elaborate ones.
Those sold in bulk usually cost less than
those sold in cartons. Each housekeeper
must decide whether the variety and
of the more expensive kinds |
for the extra cost. In any |
rase before she can choose wisely she |
must have reckoned how much the pack
age goods cost per pound.
Leaving aside cost of preparation and
rice with ready made wheat
bread, it appears that rice at seven cents
! pound is about as cheap a source of
body fuel as bread at five cents a pound.
Il bread costs eight cents a pound, rice
costing up to 10 cents a pound is cheap
II source of energy. Bread costing nine
ents a pound would furnish energy as
heaply as rice at IL cents a pound.
Corn bread usually costs much less per
