A Prediction by Ouida
Ouida, far from regarding heavy
feeding as a concomitant of literary
success, once declared that to eat any
thing more than was strictly necessary
was vulgar and barbaric, and, further,
that to take food in public or any
where except in entire domestic, priv
acy was "an indelicacy which in the
coming golden age of refinement we
shall'not dream of. We shall then,"
HAS;ttISBtTRG STAR-INDEPENDENT, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 17, 1915.

bodily needs in the presence of others
than of cleaning our teeth or washing
our hair in public view." And then
will be the end of the "restaurant"
habit.—Pearson's Weekly.

Publishes Photographs OF OH Purchas
es and Introduces Beal Novelty
is Sales Campaign
For ingenuity in advertising, the ef
forts of H. 0. Strong of the Strong-
Crittenden Company,, Chandler dealers
in Rochester, N. Y., must be awarded
tlx* palm. Although a firm believer in
decorative. windows and other snar*
for prospective owners of motor cars,
Mr. Strong states that his latest stunt
has proved the biggest wiuner of them
all.
Recently the books of the company
showed that euough orders were ou
hand for Chandler cars, to necessitate
delivery of one car each day until June
1. .Starting a week ago and planned
to run each morning in Rochester pa
pers, are photographs of the» persons
who bought cars the, day before. One
photograph appears each day with the
caption "Here's a picture of yester
day 's lucky Chandler man. What is
your dntef" All Rochester now turns
interestedly to its morning,paper these
days, to find out which fellow citizen
has been the most recent recruit to the
six-cylinder ranks.
According to Mr. Strong, the only
objection to his scheme is beginning to
appear at the present time. As he has
recently made two and three deliveries
of cars on the same day, he will be
forced to run group pictures each day
in order to carry out the original plan.

SOCIABILITY KIN TO-MORROW

The Sociability run to Sunbury, un
der the auspice®"of the Keystone Motor
cycle Club, of Harrisburg, is scheduled
to leave the club house to-morrow
morning at 8 o'clock.
The road committee, consisting of
Captain Claude W. Baskin, First Lieu

ant Joe Adlestine have arranged for
some pleasant surprises on the way.
There will be at least fifty entries.
AN EMPTY STOMACH
Its Effect Upon the System and Why
It Craves Food
During our waking hours the stom
ach is rarely, if ever, completely
empty, and apparently there is a very
good physiological "reason why i't
should not be. Thus the universal
custom of taking) meals about five hours
apart, so that the contents of the stoni-
Ia eh are replenished before the organ
is completely emptied, is depemftnt
> upon a physical need
; Since most foods are not assimilated
by the system directly from the stom
ach, and, as food remains in the stom
ach several hours after being swal
lowed, the well-known fact that eating
relieves fatigue almost immediately
has long been puzzling. But recent
studies of the still mysterious action
of the gastric juice offer a rational ex
planation. When the stomach is emptv
I this digestive fluid draws directly upon
| the blood, thus depfeting the amount
i of nourishment necessary to the muscles
and producing fatigue." But tlje de
pleting action ceases immediately when
food enters the stomach; hence the
feeling of refreshment that follows a
1 meal.
The amount of fluids and salt in the
' food also influences the action of gas
tric juice. When either <of these is
deficient in quantity the amount of gas
tric juice is reduced. As a result the
food is not properly digested, is hur
[ ried through the stomach and is likely
to produce intestinal disturbances.
-Hard work with profuse sweating re
duces the fluids and salt in the body.
This explains the craving of fluids and
salty foods which is experienced by
persons taking prolonged muscular ex
ercise and why i$ is that when these
substances arel acking intestinal trou
bles develop.—los Angeles Times.
CONDORS ROOST HIGH
They Perch at an Altitude of 15,000 v
Feet Above the Sea
There is a splendid specimen of the
male condor in a glass case in the bird
room of the Children's Museum in
Brooklyn. Though he stands three and
one-half feet high, the spread of his
wings is nine feet.
"The condors live throughout the
Andes, principally in Chile and Peru.
Their favorite haunts are the level of
perpetual snow," writes Miss Anna B.
Gallup in the "Museum News." "Dur
ing a portion of the year condors roost
in the trees on the lower mountain
slopes, but in the breeding season (the
summer months of November and De
cember) they retire to the most broken
and terrific precipices, 10,000 to 15,-
000 feet abdve the sea level, where no
other creature can dwell. There on a
ledge or shelf of rock the female lays
two white eggs nearly four inches in
length. Sometimes she places a few
sticks around them, perhaps to keep
them from rolling out of place.
"After about seven weeks, in Feb- ■
ruary or early in March, the young
hatch, entirely covered with soft "white
down, that afterward turns to a brown
color.
PLANNED 111 EXPEDITE
SERVICE HOARD'S WORK
Several Pending Bills, Which Have the
Commission's Approval, Are In
tended to Remove Many Causes of
Complaints by Citizens
Several bills amending the Public
Sorvice Commission law have been in
troduced in the Legislature and in the
event of their passage, it is held by
their sponsors, then would materially
aid in expediting the work of the Com
mission and ,vould remove many causes
of complaints that come from parties
interested in cases.
One of them does away with the ne
cessity of obtaining approval of the
joint use of poles. Another precludes
the necessity of having every contract
that a public service company makes
with a municipality first approved by
the Commission. The amendment,
however, retains the Commission's
regulatory control over competition and
retains the same control over service
and rates which have been made the
subject of, a contract with a munici
pality.
Another amendment gives the Com
mission the power to appoint examin
ers to take testimony and evidence any
where in the State. The effect of this,
it is held, would be that people inter
ested in complaints could save the time
and expense of coming to the State
Capitol.
The payment of witness fees, so as
to make the State responsible only for
the payment of fees of witnesses who
are summoned by the Comission, as
distinguished from those summoned by
the parties, is regulated by another
bill. Under the present act," the State
is obliged to pav_ the witness fees and
mileage of all witnesses summoned un
der the subpoena of the Commission,
even though they be a party to the
proceeding.
Another amendment gives the Com
mission power to suspend rates pro
posed to be charged, pending the de
termination of their reasonableness.
These proposed amendments have the
approval of the Commission.
A bill will also likely be introduced
amending the crossing provisions so as
to do away with the necessity of ad
vnnee approval of I'rossings other than
those between the nilroads, street rail
ways and highways, but it proposes to
retain the Commission's power to regu
late all crossings upon complaint or
upon its own motion.
PLAN FOR TENNIS SEASON
Special Committee Named by Park
Commissioner to Be in Full Charge
of Movement
A special or "house" committee ap
pointed by Park Commissioner Taylor
will have charge of organizing the
proposed Reservoir Tennis Club, the
supervision of the club house and tne
distribution of the lockers, plans for
which were laid at a meeting of the
committee last evening.
On the committee are IMisses Anne
Sweeney, Elizabeth Killinger, Harry
Shreiner, Jay Hoffert, tiouis A. Irvin
and Martin <M. Keet. The Park Com
missioner is treasurer. The new club
house is ready for occupancy and ap
plication blanks for lookers have been
prepared and are ready for distribution.
They can be had by request from the
park office or from any of the members
of the house committee.
There are 132 lockers on the men's
side of the house and 76 on the wom
en's side. Shower bath facilities have
been provided for the men and on the
other side of the house will be station
ary washstand facilities for the girls.
Keys to both house and lockers will be
provided for each member who enrolls.
The fee will cover the eosA of main
tenance and kets, and was fixed yester
day by the committee at $2 per year
for the men and fl for the girls who
are. enrolled before the charter member
ship lists close on May 15.
The plan that has been inaugurated
for the regulation of the game and
the club house at Reservoir is a new
one for this city and in fact is unique
among the third class city play ground
system of the State.
Rules governing the club house and
revised rules for the courts will be pre
pared at another meeting of the com
mittee Friday evening,
park office.
