assumed, the learned judge continued

More glasses drinking glasses
are broken in New York every day
than In any other city in the world,
according to figures just gathered.
In the seven thousand and odd drink
ing places along tthe Incandescent
Row, as Broadway is now called, the
value of goblets shattered every year
would support more than 4,000 fami
lies, since the total runs about $4,000,
000 every twelve months Strange as
it may seem the common beer glas
ses at five cents apiece furnish nearly
half of the total, more than $2,000,000
worth of "schooner" containers be
ing smashed every year In various
ways, It is not alone the cheapest
glasses which contribute to this enor
mous total, however, since thousands
of choice glasses made of cut or Ven
etian glass and valued at from fifty
cents to several dollars apiece are
broken In the higher class cafes every
year. The figures show indeed more
than one hundred of the most ex
clusive places in each of which such
breakage amounts to more than $2500
annually. There are at least a dozen,
too, where the sum exceeds $10,000
every twelve months. The careless
or destructive public is not called
upon to make good this loss In the
majority of places except in the case
of mlrrora. For the pleasure of
breaking one of them the customer
is expected to pay, Of course, to a
large part of the $4,000,000 annual
loss arises from the more valuable
glasses which are merely chipped.
Such, however, In the better cafes
and hotels are discarded as a total
loss- How important this whole item
is may be seen from the assertion of
glass manufacturers to the effect that
an annual revenue averaging $200 ac
crues to them from each drinking
place in the state. (In addition to
this the value of the glassware stolen
from the restaurants every year
amounts to about $l,bO0,000 so that

BY ACTING ON THE KIDNEYS
HOME VEGETABLE MIXTURE
WHICH FORCES THE KID
NEYS TO FILTER OUR IMPURITIES.
All medical authorities are agreed
that the blood is the great source of
disease or of health in the human
system. If the blood is pure, the in
dividual is strong and healthy, if the
blood is impure or diseased then there
is sickness or decay in the whole sys
tem. Rheumatism is strictly a blood dis
ease. It is caused by cxessivc uric
acid. Sores, pimples, etc., mean bad
blood. Catarrhal affections must be
treated through the blood to get per
manent results, ; To get well, to feel
strong, hearty and vigorous one muj
have good clean blood and lots of 7r.
You can't clean the blood thoroughly
unless the kidneys are made active.
Bad blood means clogged, inactive
kidneys Irid liver which causes, too,
such symptoms as backache, ner
vousness, bladder and urinary diffi
culties and other sympathetic
troubles.
Here is a simple home remedy and
the Recipe for making it up is as
follows:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound ' Krgon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three,
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful does after each
meal and again at bedtime. The in
gredients can be obtained at any good
prescription pharmacy at small cost,
Here the readers of ?his paper have
a simple yet powerful and effective
remedy for all forms of blood, kid

relieve rheumatism and catarrhal af
fections and replace that weak, worn
out indifferent feeling with strength,
vigor and health.

city, and greater by 3361 than the
same period in 1907. Based on this
standard Father Knickerbocker may
expect about 400,000 babies during the
present year, and as the increase of
the city's population depends on
local births for only a small percen
tage of the increase of its population,
as compared to immigration it seems
probable that New York may shortly
be tthe most populous city in the
world. Not only is the birth rate the
highest in the history of the city, but
the death rate the lowest. The aver
age in this regard so far this year
shows less than eighteen and one-
half deaths out of each one thousand
population. A surprising feature in
this connection, is found in the de
crease of marriages. Whether be
cause of the hard times or the new
registration law is not known, but
records for the first quarter of 1907
show only 9557 marriages during the
quarter as against 11,750 during the
same period last year. As a result
it appears that while Cupid and the
undertakers are less1 busy, the stork
is busier than ever before. .

President Eliot Says Instructors
Should not Marry too Early in Life.
CHICAGO, April lO.-Young col
lege instructions should live in single
blessedness, according to President
Charles Eliot, of Harvard University,
who lectured on "The Trustees" at
Northwestern University last night.
Only when the instructor had ad
vanced to an assistant professorship
should he contemplate matrimony, is
the view f the educator
' The trustees of a university should
use careful judgment in regulating the
scale of salaries for teachers and of
ficers of the university," President
Eliot said. "The salary for an in
structor begining to teach in ? uni
versity should be the amount needed
by A young unmarried man to live
comfortably but not in lflxury.
"The salary should be advanced
as the instructor gains in usefulness
and by the time he is ready for an as
sistant professorship . his salary
should be enough to enable him to
support a wife andj ,two or three
children comfortably but. not in lux
ury. "Under all circumstances, the trus
tees should use good judgement in
arranging the scale of salaries and
take into consideration the circum
stances and surroundings in each
separate instance."

left, Suttor said that .according to

ship trophy it will be impossible for
him to agree to a postponement. He
