Recorder Thaxter
Glasses Extracts as
Intoxicating LIQUOR

Portland, Me-, Sept. 29.-Reeorder
Sydney st. F. Thaxter of the Port
land municipal court on Tuesday
gave a sweeping and far-reaching
decision when he ruled that all fla
voring extracts are intoxicating Ii
quors. 1t is believed that the basis
of his decision can be traced to the
recent decision of the supreme court
classifying Jamaica ginger as an in
toxicant.
The decision was made in a suit
brought by Milliken, Tomlinson Co.
against Pasquale Parillo of West
brook, to recover a bill of S163.S9 for
articles sold him, including various
favoring extracts. Judgment was
given to the amount of $109.34, the
price of the extracts being excluded
Recorder Thaxter ruling that his de-
cision CHASING them as intoxicants
automatically took them from the
bill.
This was based upon the testi-
mony of a. witness who took the
stand and testified that he had be-
come intoxicated after drinking some
of the extracts that had been pur-
chased at Parillos store Parillo
was arrested a short while ago on a
charge of unlawful possession after
quantity of extracts had been
seized in his shop.
In discussing this classification of
the extracts. Recorder Thaxter ex-
planned that where this witness testi-
ned that he had become intoxicated
after drinking those extracts it
simply placed them in the same class
as alcohol or whiskey.
Well in your opinion could the
deputy sheriffs go to every wholesale
house and retail store where extracts
We're on the shelves and seize them
under this ruling and classification"
Recorder ThaXter was asked
Yes | should say so, if they
were so disposed" he replied.
f. j. Laughlin represented the
plaintiff, and the interests of the de-
PENDANT were handled by Fred w
Small. An appeal from Recorder
"haxters decision was filed.

Hard to Reconcile
Safety and Ones Job

Boston, Sept 29.-It is difficult at
times to reconcile the thought Of
safety first and hit the bail at the
same time, D. l.. Cease, Editor of The
railroad Trainman of Cleveland told
the delegates at the National Safety
Council here today.
1t is difficult to teach an old dog
new tricks" he said, you know as
we'll as | know that a switchman,
brakeman or conductor who takes his
time is not regarded as an efficient
employee. You know also that it
means time to hold up switching in
these days when so many cars are
handled at one time. You also know
that railroad Impotence will not
stand for much of what seems even
in this day of safety first and serv-
ice afterward' to be unneces sary de-
lay. You also know that every train
and yard man starts to work with the
idea of getting done as soon as he
possible can, firmly fixed in his mind.
He also knows that every man on the
job. from the president down to the
engine foreman, expects him to keep
that in mind until he is through. 1t
is difficult at times to reconcile the
thought of safety first and hit the
ball at the same time.
1T will take another generation to
change this condition of mind. Dan
ger, disability and death always We're
supposed to go hand in hand with a
job in train or yard service.
1T must be our united work to
overcome the traditions of all of our
railroad years, to have our railway
men realize that the railroads are in
earnest in trying to save their men,
and to get down under the hides of
the men and their immediate superb
ors with the fact that safety means
what it says and that unnecessary
injury and death will mean discipline
for the personal cause of either, if he
can be reached"

SPOON IN FAVOR WITH TURKS
Subjects of the Sultan Have Little Use
for the Fork as q Table
utensiI

According to figures compiled by the
American Cutlery bureau of informa-
ton, the average yearly requirements
of Constantinople before the war In
the way of cutlery were $4,000 dozens
OF table knives, 10000 dozens Of
spoons, 10000 dozens of forks, 10000
dozens of scissors, $4,000 dozens of
razors of all kinds and 5000 dozens of
hair clippers.
As will be seen, much more spoons
are sold than forks, which Is contrary
to the experience In other countries
where, as a rule. more forks are re-
quired than spoons. This is explained
by the fact that Constantinople sup
plies great quantities of cutlery to
Asia Minor and other outlying regions
of the former Turkish empire, where
table manners still have not been de-
Aeloped up to the standard Of Paris.
The Arab is fond of the spoon. be-
cause II Is handy In eating his cereals,
but he prefers to deal with chops by
way Of the fingers. which is more
simple procedure than piercing ones
eye with fork.
SO II is the spoon that stands on the
top of the list of the cutlery orders
coming from Turkey to Uncle Sam.
1t Is conceded in all foreign countries
today that American table cutlery
holds the center of the stage In point
Of quality.

The nutritive value of tomatoes Is
slight. But because they contain val

to their delightful flavor, tomatoes
have become very popular as an arti-

very little solid food to contain the
