WITNESSES BLAME MOTORMAN
FOR ACCIDENT
Matthew Taafe Attempts to Board Car
and is Hurled to Hia Death
Before the Eyes of His
Sister
While attempting to mount a moving
northbound Pasadena Short Line car
at Third and Main street! at 8:30 last
night Mathew Taaffe, 34 years of age,
proprietor of the barber shop at 230
South Main street, was thrown to the
pavement and so severely Injured thai
he died at the receiving hospital twen
ty minutes later. He was struck by
the front steps (if the car and inter
nally injured.
According to witnesses to the affair,
Taaffe stood waiting for a car. One
Pasadena car is said to have passed
him, but did not stop, although the
man signaled the motorman to do SO.
A little later car No. 267 approached
and Taaffe also waved at the motorman
on that car. The latter Is said to have
paid no attention to him and the car
came on at a rapid rate. Taaffe evi
dently made up his mind to jump It, as
he suddenly sprang forward. The car
was going so fast, however, that he
was hurled through the air and his
grip loosened on the handrail, allowing
him to be thrown to the grodnd with
great force.
Pedestrians ran to the scene at once
and picked him up. He was uncon
scious and remained so until he died.
His sister, -Miss Alice Taaffe, who lives
with the family of the young man, was
standing In the clrug store on the cor
ner at the time of the accident. She
at once rushed forward and accom
panied her brother to the receiving
hospital in the patiol vagon.
From there a telephone message was
sent to Taaffe's wife and, accompanied
by their 7-year-old daughter, the wo
man Boon appeared at the police sta
tion. Her husband was dead by the
time she reached the hospital and the
woman was so overcome by the shock
that It was necessary to carry her from
the place.
Taaffe lived at 1040 Macy street. He
had been a resident of Los Angeles
several years.

Buffalo Man Goes to Caldwell to Dis.
cover He Is Victim of
v Huge Joke
Special to The Herald.
MONTCLAIR, N. J., Fob. Miss
Sophie Ellis and Miss Rose Galash of
Bloomfleld avenue, Caldwell, have had
an experience which will deter them
from answering matrimonial adver
tisements in the future. A few days
ago Miss Calash answered an "object
matrimony" advertisement of Henry
Dominyl of Buffalo. In starting a cor
respondence which she regarded as a
joke, she gave the name of her friend,
Miss Ellis, and also sent her photo
graph.
Saturday morning Dominyi arrived
In Caldwell. Ho Immediately sought
for the young woman who had written
to him. When he reached the Ellis
homestead Miss Ellis admitted him.
He promptly recognized her and. not
standing upon formalities, opened ne
gotiations for the marriage with affec
tionate demonstrations. Miss Ellis,
much frightened, tried to explain that
it was all a mistake and that her
friend, Miss Galash, was the principal
if what was Intended as a lark. The
disappointed lover, not to be rejected
so easily, protested that he had come
a long distance and that his inten
tions were strictly honorable.
After many entreaties he consented
to leave the house, but promise. 1 to re
turn later, which he did. He continued
to press hi; suit with so much fervor
that Miss Ellis finally suggested that
they go out for i walk. Dominyi be
lieved that his future bride was about
to marry him. but Instead she called
on Recorder Keller and entered a com
plaint against the man for annoying
her.
The recorder took in the situation at
a glance and ordered Dominyi to leave
town at once. He started in half an
hour,

MILLIONS WASTED
BY WOMEN YEARLY
SKILL IN MARKETING WOULD
SAVE MUCH
Extravagance in Buying Food Costs
Chicago $200,000,000 Annually,
Most of Which Could
Be Avoided
Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Feb. Chicago house
keepers waste nearly J200,000,000 every
year. The exact figures, taken from
commercial reports, and the percent- 1
ages of waste calculated by domestic
science experts, show that {108,140,000
is lost annually by careless buying, un
scientific cooking and other domestic
extravagances,
The school of domestic science sums
up the same under several heads.
Among these the half dozen following
are selected as the most prominent:
l. Buying provisions by order and
telephone Instead of seeing them.
2. Buying prepared foods.
3. Buying fruits and vegetable! out
of season.
i. Taking goods as offered by dealers
instead of Insisting on quantities,
brands and cuts wanted.
5. i,c>ss or. weight, wrappings and at
tractive glasses, cans, etc., in which
food is put up.
6. Lack of expert, knowledge of outs
of meats and of how to cook least ex
pensive things to bring out food values
and good taste.
"The thing which the average house
keeper figures upon as most Important
now is her time," said Miss Lyford of
the school of domestic science. "When
she buys SO as to have this she lias to
figure against not only loss of money,
but loss of nourishment, and then she
has to figure if it isn't better to spend
more money to gel more nourishment."
Two women wen' talking of the little
chicken pies that are bought at tile dell
catessen shop.
"They are only 18 cents, and one piece
is plenty," said the first housekeeper.
"But the crust is greasy and not nour-
Inßhg, and, besides, we have been used
to having a great dish of chicken pie
from which we could fill up our plates
a couple of times at least, and each
time more than the whole of your one
little pie."
Market Buying Urged
if the gain In the old fashioned plan
of going to market instead of ordering
by telephone or by the order boy, th«
women of the school cannot speak too
strongly. Bald Mrs. Wagley, the secre
tary:
"It Is a matter of fact that your roast
will cost more if you order it than It
does if you Bee it weighed. Your
butcher may prove perfectly honest,
and you may have him for years and
years, and not find a fault if you go and
get your things yourself. The minute
you begin to order, however, the total
of your week's bill will be higher.
"Another advantage of going la that
If your butcher does not happen to
have the cut you want you simply and
easily can walk to another place with
out any talk or argument about It.
Many housekeepers do not do this, but
It is the most logical thing In the world
to do. You ask for a certain thing; ho
says he hasn't It. You Hay nothing, but
go to another place to get what you
haw decided upon."
One of the things which Mrs. Wag
ley considers It absolutely indispensa
ble to see. cut In hamburger steak,
which, she says, should be cut off as
wanted an, i put through the grinder.
The kind that is ready prepared In
variably will have scraps and trim
mlnga put In It.
It is on the buying of ready-made
fonris that the greatest loss is believed
to be found, both In money and nutri
tion. Says Mrs. Smith:
"Ready-made cakes, pics and almost
all ready-made foods are only an imi
tation. They look beautiful and appe
tizing on the outside, but did you ever
eat anything In your life nought In this
way that was not a disappointment? In
too many cases they aro made of ma
terjals that we would not employ in our
homes."

Florists
The flower venders who offer their
wares for sale from tin- street curbs
along Spring and Broadway are to be
come a thing of the past, according
to the latest orders from police head
quarters.
Borne time ago the florists of this city
made an effort to ha-e this traffic

Their plan was to offer to pay the
city a big rental for corners for which
only $1 a month whs paid by the street
venders. The dealers who pay hluh
rents and keep many employes com
plained thru the competition was hurt
in« their business.
As a result of this and the frequent
clashes that take piaee between the
venders over corner rights the police
have given them an Intimation to keep
off the crowded sidewalks and seek
newer pastures on less crowded streets.

Trust to Nature.
A great many American^ both men

poor circulation, because they have ill —
treat**! their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close confine-
ment to home, office or factory, and In
consequence the stomach must be treated
In a natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. Tho muscles In
many such people, In fact In every weary,
thin and thin- blooded person, do their
work with groat difficulty. As a result
fatigue comes early, Is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
ahead of tho supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from the blood cer-
tain materials and return to It certain
others. It Ib neoessary to prepare the
stomach for the work of taking up from
the (pod what Is necessary to make good,
rich, nil blood. We must go to Nature
for the remedy. There wore certain
roots known to the Indians of this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came to tho knowledge of
tin 1 settlors and which are now growing
rapidly In professional favor for the euro
of obstinate stomach and liver trouble*.
Those are found to be safe and yet cer-
tain in their cleansing and invigorating
effect upon the stomach, liver and blood.
These are: Golden Seal root, Queen's
root, Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake
root. Then there Is Black Cherrybark.
Tho medicinal principles residing In these
native roots wnen extracted with glyc-
erine as a solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in-
vlgorator, when combined in just the
right proportions, as In Dr. I'lerce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
is bankrupt vitality — such as nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition— and thin
blood, the body acquires vigor and the
nerve*, blood and all the tissues feel the
favorable effect of this sovereign remedy.
Although some physicians have been
aware of the high medicinal value of the
above mentioned plants, yet few have
used pure glycerine us a solvent and
