"WHA.1 ar. the three. three essen,

Of Chicago discussed this ques.
ton for half a day and reached
no conclusion.
On woman said the three es.
sentials are a good temper, a
good mother and charge Of the
finances. This raised a debate.
Others contended that the hus.
band and wife are joint sover-
eigns and each should have an
appropriation Of the family
money.
One timidly urged that the
man is the head Of the house:
another suggested that a good
husband is at least one Of the
essentials: but none Of the
women paid much attention to
these suggestions.
They either left the husband
out of their calculations or
took him for granted.
A MINISTER who happened
"A in and was asked for his
opinion said: "A man. a woman
and a cook stove" And the
women applauded, doubtless not
thinking that a man, q woman
and cook stove may constitute
a dive as we'll as a home.
A husband who came to get
his wife volunteered this: "A

Those Poles
Should Go
By BILL PRICE.

W Public Utilities Commission
July 6 on the subject of the re-
moval of the unsightly trolley poles
of the Capital Traction Company
on Connecticut avenue.
The railway company proposes
to remove the poles that mar the
center of this fine avenue and con-
stantly invite accident and dis
aster, and replace them with trolley
poles on each side of the thorough
fare, inviting new dangers when
storms or mishaps break the wires
and bring them to the ground. The
side pole plan would prevail as far.
as Newark street, just beyond
Klingle Ford bridge.
The citizens who will urge the
putting in of an underground sys-
tenn by the company will be told
that the cost would be around
100000 as far as Newark street !;
that this would be hardship upon
the company in view of the fact
that new bridges will some day be
built over Calvert street and over
Klingle Ford; that the existing
bridges are unsuitable in construc-
ton for underground except at con-
siderable trouble and expense to the
railway company.
Trolley poles of any kind-center
or side-have no place on Connecti-
cut avenue. They are certainly not
ornamental ard they are certainly
dangerous in these days of swift
transportation and congested traf-
fic.
If there were dependable assur-
ances that Congress will authorize
the new bridges within few years
it would be fair that the substitu-
ton of underground for the old sys-
tenn should be deferred, but there
are no indications that Congress
is going to do anything for years to
come than to refuse improvements
important to the development and
Identification of the District. The
Calvert street bridge has been gone
over by a number of engineers, and
their reports as to its safety and
usefulness are sufficient to pre-
vent Congress making an appro-
priation for a new bridge for long
time.
Connecticut avenue, for many
blocks beyond the Calvert street
bridge, is we'll populated, with
splendid new buildings in course of
erection, meaning large increases in
the citizenship of that section.
The Capital Traction is fully able
to make whatever expenditures
necessary in putting in an under
ground system. In the last few
years it has collected from the peo-
pie of the District several millions
of dollars more than it was entitled
to had the local street car situation
been solved by Congress as it
should have been.
The Washington Railway and
Electric Company would be expect
ed to put up "poor mouth" and
make excuses in a case of this kind,
because it has had hard financial
struggle for four or five years, al
though now showing improvement.
The Public Utilities Commission
should carefully analyze the excuses
that are tor be made to escape un-
derground construction. 1t should
bear in mind that the Capital Trac-
ton is loaded with money it
doesn't know what to do with,
being reluctant to boost stock divi-
dends to a point that might attract
an awful public howl. The engi-
neering problems involved in the
change are not complicated. Why
shouldn't progress and improvement
get a chance on Connecticut ave-

Which Is Really a Marvel OF
Inventive ingenuity.

Very remarkable indeed is q ma

The device is almost automatic, is
operated by electricity and is based
upon the galvanic principle. 1t needs
only one or two men to watch it, they
being guided by a chart, showing in
many colors the piece of metal to be
repaired, the exact repairs necessary,
the composition of the galvanic bath,
the current needed, the diameter of
! the conducting wires and the time of
immersion. All this is worked out
mathematically to the minutest frac-

tributed TO Germany and all countries
along the North and Baltic seas.
Potatoes comprise rs to 40 per
cent Of the food Of the Europeans,
and especially of English speaking
people with an average consumption
.of from eight to twenty bushels per
capita. In the United States, the av-
erage consumption hardly reaches 3
bushels per q capita, this certainly
might well be increased. The potato
is very easily digested food, and
agreat more nutritive than is COM
monty known. One fourth of its
weight is food, % parts being starch ;
2 parts very high grade protein and
one part alkaline salts. =.
Potatoes are valuable in the treat
ment of a large number of chronic
diseases. The hardening of the ar
tcries, gous, rheumatism, Bright's
disease, apoplexy and ohtre diseases
can be largely avoided and cured by
a liberal and proper use of potatoes.
The Northern Pacific Railway has
always made it it's policy to encourage
the production of this. wonderful pro-
duct of the soil throughout it's terri
tory as well as to give impetus to- the
consumption thereof, by facilitating
transportation to the markets, and
by giving it the proper place ON its
far-famcd dining cars.
The best potato known, embodying
the most desirable qualities, is the
Burbank potato. The Melted Gem,
used by the Northern Pacific Rail
way, is a Burbank plus the netted
skin, which gives it, in addition to
its other qualities, the quality of
keeping in storage and shipping. This
potato has been produced for years
under scientific methods of farming
under irrigation, in. the Yakima Val
ley, to. theNhighest state of perfection
And the eliminating. ciimaxof scien-
tific agriculture in the production of
potatoes in America, yea of the world,
is found in the delicious 'Big Baked
Potato' served on the dining cars
of the Northern Pacific Railway.
