BEN-HUR SPICE
PRODUCTS SET
THE STANDARD

Ben-Hur Spices have for many
years been the popular brand sold
in the southwest. This great pub
lie acceptance has been entirely
due to the outstanding quality. Ben
Hur Spices are invariably chosen
for demonstration-as in the case
of this weeks cooking school. In
cake baking contests, Ben-Hur fla
vorings are preponderantly used by
the winners.
There is vast difference in the
quality of spices, though there is
very slight price variation between
these best kinds and the inferior
kinds. Hence, it is important to the
housewife that she know that in
purchasing Ben-H Hur Spices, she
gets the finest quality procurable.
Ben-Hur Spices are not only abb
solutely pure and guaranteed full
strength-but they are thoroughly
recleaned before they are ground
in the Ben-Hur plant, making
them more appetizing and health
ful as well as full-flavored.

The lettuce season is practically
over with total shipments for the
year, 5470 carloads by rail, nearly
1000 cars less than last years rail
shipments. The market was con-
siderably better for lettuce this
year than in 1884, with the quality
very good most of the season, ac-
cording to the monthly report of B.
A. Harrigan, county agricultural
commissioner, who adds:
Grapefruit is still being shipped
under the AAA pro-rate regulations
with the quality holding up extra
well, probably as result of rea-
sonably cool spring.
Tomato shipments have steadily
increased and are considerably
higher than the amounts listed as
we are unable to tabulate the ship
ments that go out the North Shore
road. However, the season has been
one of the best that the early
tomato grower has experienced in
the valley. Tomatoes bring a
premium price all season with ex-
ceptionally fine quality.
1.-The asparagus shipments are
less than so per cent of last years
movements, but quality has been
extra good with price returns not
less than So per crate throughout
the entire season. This has been
by far the best asparagus season
that has been experienced by the
growers for the past several years.

Local products are taking a lead
ing place in the free cooking school

selected for wear while conducting
the cooking school. Foot comfort is
essential, and Mrs. Abbey believes
that no woman can be a good cook
If she is suffering foot ailments,
the creating of delicious meals un-
der those circumstances being mere
drudgery. These Treadstraight
shoes assure the maximum of COM
fort and not only do they meet this
requirement but they are goodlook-
ing as well.
Because of its variety and per-
fection of quality and taste, Mrs.
Abbey has selected Cramer's But
ter Cream bread for use in the
cooking school. Justly known as
the staff of life" for it's health
giving and nourishing qualities,
bread is an important item in the
familys diet. Cramer's, meeting all
tests as it does, has been selected
by Mrs. Abbey for the school.
Milk and cream are also import
ant articles in the healthful diet
and in order to secure the best
milk and cream obtainable Mrs.
Abbey will use nothing but Stew
ems Dairy products in the school.
Rich milk and cream, pure and
healthgiving from dairy which
meets every sanitary requirement
comes from this local dairy.

economical, may be used in count
less ways in the kitchen.
Durkee's Salad-aid, the result Of

tute for mayonnaise, particularly
those who prefer a spicler tang to
their dressings.

from choice spices, pure vinegar,
fine vegetable oils and other in
gradients, is melloWed for seven
months in special maple casks be-
fore it is marketed. 1t is indispen-

There are no muscle develop
ing Jobs connected with housework
these days." says the all-wise man
of the house, while his better half
would be justified If she kicked
hSpl in the shins. However, she
cohtents herself generally with a
knowing smile.
She might cure him of his dumb
ness by setting him to work beat
ing cake, eggs, or some of the
other ingredients she uses in her
cooking. He would find, even with
many of the patent devices for do
ing this work, that it is not only
muscle building but muscle-tiring.
Some housewife who attends the
cooking school at Ten Thousand
club is going to be relieved OF the
mixing drudgery for the I. V. Hard
ware is offering one of the famous
Sunbeam MiXmasters as a prize.
The Mixmaster is electrically op-
Grated and is more than mere
mixer. 1t can be fitted with var
,ious attachments and used as a
suueezer for oranges, lemons or
grapefruit, a canopener, a meat
chopper or grinder, blender and
1t also slices, shreds, CRATES and
crushes, peels potatoes, shells peas,
sharpens knives, polishes and butfs
silverware, grinds coffee, turns the
Ice cream freezer and mixes drinks.
1T will also mind the baby, put OUT
the cat and can be used as boot
Jack if one has boots.
The Mixmaster is something any
housewife would love to own and
whoever gets this one will un-
doubtedly be the envy OF her
'neighbors.

b TRENCHARD UPHELD in COMMENTS ON EVIDENCE

Consequently this point Is without
substance.
Point 10 Is argued at considerable
length. the discussion taking up some
20 pages of the printed brief. The
heading Of this point reads as follows:
"The court by its charge impaired
verdict and impressed upon the jury
his conclusion as to the evidence and
imposed upon the defendant an un-
authorized rule as to reasonable
doubt"
Again the point consists Of two
legally distinct propositions. The first
is the alleged erroneous comment on
the testimony and the second the al
legged misstatement of the reasonable
doubt rule.
Taking up the first: The discus
sion relates more particularly to the
judicial comment on the Condor testi-
mony, the circumstantial evidence.
The note said to have been found on
the window sill. the material of which
the ladder was constructed. the ran
som money and the story about Fisch,
the testimony relating to the thumb
guard, the evidence OF alibi and the
testimony of the old witness named
Hochmuth. Counsel sum up the
criticism on the first branch of point
10 by saying:
These remarks and charge OF the
court on the question of circumStan-
tial evidence controvert and upset
every legal postulate hitherto en-
bedded in our system of criminal
Jurisprudence"
Judges Duty Calls
For Evidence Comment.
The brief under this point ignores
one of the most thoroughly settled
rules in our New Jersey criminal juris-
prudence. That rule is that lit is al
ways the right and often the duty of
trial judge to comment on the evil
dence, and give the jury his impress
sions of its weight and value. and
such comment is not assignable for
erorr so long as the ultimate deci-
sion on disputed facts is plainly left
20 the jury" Estate VS.. Overton, 85
N j. Law, 287)
The writer of the brief appears to
take the stand that was taken by
counsel for the plaintiff in error in the
Overton case, viz: that "a trial judge
should not intimate any opinion upon
the facts"
In a still later case of State v.
Evening star., 1935-10-10

Corrado, 113 N. J. Law. SO, at page
SO. the opinion speaks Of certain
comments of the trial judge on the
evidence. interrogative and argu-
mentative in character, as calcu-
lated to influence the jury unfavor-
ably to the defendant. These COM
ments were in no way erroneous.
The right Of the trial judge to give
the jury the benefit Of his individu-
al view of the evidence, so long as
he is careful to avoid controlling
them by binding instruction, is
steeled in the State beyond perad-
venture"
The rule has obtained In full force
for many years.
In Donnelly v. State, rs N. J. Law,
463. affirmed at page COL. two assign
ments OF error alleging that the court
by its charge invaded the province of
the jury by arguing the facts Of the
case, and also that the court in said
charge did give a partial view of the
evidence against the prisoner. and
omitted the circumstances in his
favor, were held not to constitute
legal ground of error, or Of bill Of
exceptions.
In Bruch v. Carter, 80 Id. 554.
civil case, this court held that "a Judge
has an undCubted right to make such
| comments upon the testimony as he
thinks necessary or proper for the di-
rection Of the jury"
There are further remarks on the
point unnecessary to reproduce here,
but all of the same purport.

Zabriskie. in commenting on certain
| rather strong language in the charge
which is quote at page 5ll. pointed
