Some years ago, as the very moderately aged will recall, shortly after the Spanish war but before the bicycle went out of fashion and and little while after "HiaWatha" had ceas- ed to be stylish, but while "Noure As Wel- come As the Flowers ln May was still echo- ing up and down the side streets, a pleasant patent medicine began to make its way down the throats and into the affections of a con- siderable proportion of the inhabitants of the prohibition regions of America. Respectable deacons, and deaCOnS' wives, and young men who taught in Sunday schools, and club Wo- men, and society girls, and innocent maidens in their freshman year in college, and strong, absemious farmers took this patent medicine because it was good for the tired feeling, cured backache soothed the nerves, promoted healthy, refreshing sleep, rendered the thin fat and the fat thin, and made good rich blood. They did not take it because it con- tained seventeen per cent of alcohol Nor did they put their feet on a brass railing, nor ad- mire themselves in plate glass mirrors while they drank it, nor treat one another to drinks, nor sing songs afterWard; except as they would have done so in any event. But they all considered that this patent medicine, like another one celebrated in song and story, was boon to the human race. It was not sin to drink it, and 1t did not become a sin until the pure food investigators announced that It hit the human insides harder blow than most of the drinks that were then being handed out over the mahogany counter. Then all the good deaCons and deacons' wives stopped drinking it, and life was somehow grayer ill New Eng land and other dry districts. Young men still drank horse lininent and shellaC from time to time, but they did it sinfully. The respect able patent medicine jag had passed out for ever.
 It is by such fine processes as these that communities go dry. Dryness is not a condi- tion that can be created over night The raisin jag, the cider jazz the flavoring extract jag, and the rotten apple jag Gan up country or chard about the middle of November is the place for that) are methods of tapering off Even the use of wood alcohol, which is about one per cent as safe as going to sleep on main line railway track, belongs in the same category. First the open, legaized jag, then the various degrees of surrepititous jags, then the unrecognized jag, in the shape of patent medicines or plum pudding, and at last no jags at all.

MUST SHOW CAUSE
FOR ZONE SYSTEM
New Jersey Commission Takes
Up Consideration Of Prop
erty Values

Final phases of the valuation of the
Public Service Railway property will
be taken up today in Newark at the
zone system hearing before the New
Jersey Public Utilities Commission.
On the disposal of the valuation case
the board will direct its inquiry into the
proposed fares and distances of zones
as outlined in the public service report.
The company will be called upon to
show the reasonableness Of the FIVE cent
fare for the first mile Travelled and the
one cent mile charge thereafter This
is expected to prove the most important
part of the commissions investigation.
Professor Anderson, of Michigan Uni
verSity. who colaborated in the com
pilaton of the Cooley appraisal of the
railway property, was examined ycstcr
day on the allowances in the appraisal
for contingencies and omissions. In
reply to questions by Frank Fl. Som
mer. counsel for the municipalities Op-
posing the proposed zone system. and l..
Edward Hermann, counsel for the com
mission, Professor Anderson gave de-
tails of the contingencies allowed.
Richard f. Danforth, vice president
and general manager of the Public Serv =
ice Railway Company, testified that in
building it's own cars in one case there
was an average saving of S2O7 per car
and in another 500. The total .br eight

been the case if all the cars had been
bought from building companies.

The wholesale dealers are the prin
cipal sufferers from the thieves. accord =
ing to Samuel s. Daniels, secretary OF
the exchange.
There is something peculiar in the
situation" he said today. These rob
berries have been going on for the last
six or eight months. and will run up
to several thousand dollars. The
wholesalers have reported them to the
police whenever one occurred. but they
continue. anyway. It was finally taken
up by the board of directors of the ex-
change. and it was decided TO take the
matter direct to Mayor Smith.
"The thieves apparently trail the
wagons of the wholesaler from his
place of business to the market place.
While the driver and his helper are
carrying the orders to the retailers the
thieves remove other crates of eggs or
tubs of butter from the wagons.
One wholesaler several days ago
lost several tubs of butter valued at
about $500. Others have reported like
losses.
$50 far as know none of the
thieves has been npprenended, and the
wholesalers are getting tired of it,"
