Julj !. the old rates by the Philadel-phia
«.- Reading Railway Company.
Prom thai date on the one way (area
to all points of the system will be
based on a rate of two and a half
cents per mile.
The decision to advance the fares
on the main parts of the system was
.practically the last official act In which
Piesident Baer took part prior to leav-ing
for Europe. The conference at
which the decision was reached, was
held In the Terminal yesterday morn-ing,
after whlcn President Baer receiv-ed
the several officials of the company
who came to bid bon voyage.
Edlscn .1. Weeks, general passenger
agent, s-iid the question of commuta
tlon fares had not received any con-sideration.
The fares to suburban
commutation points are not to be in-creased,
that Is to all such stations
as suffered an increase in May. 1907,
following the passage of the act,
making a two cent rate compulsory.
Those increases were from 20 to 40
per cent.
Mr. Weeks would not say what ac-tion
would be taken In regards to
these tickets later on, but held out no
liopes that any reduction would be
made.
President Baer was at his office un-til
the usual hour yesterday, after
which he went to his home in Read-ing.
This moinlng he goes to New
York, taking with him his wife, and
daughter, Mrs. L. Heebner Smith. He
will probably attend the usual Tues-day
meetings in New York to-day be-fore
sailing; to-morrow. He expects to
be abroad some eight or ten weeks,
touring the continent.

PLYMOUTH GIRL
BECOMES A BRIDE
A very pretty wedding was solemn
ised, Saturday evening last, at the
home of Frederick S. Ilexse. U>21
North Camar street. Philadelphia,
when Ills sister. Miss Jane W. Hoo-.e.
of Plymouth Meeting was united in
marriage to Mi. .lames H. Todil of
Norristown, by the Rev. frank B.
Green*, of Haws Avenue M, B. church.
Norristown.
To the strains of the Bridal Chorus
from Lohengrin, played by a nine
piece orchestra, the bridal party en-tered
the room. The bride was at-tired
In a white lingerie dress, trimmed
with eltiney lace, and carried 8 shower
bouquet ol white styeel peas, she was
attended by her sister, Mrs. Nelson
(i. Standing, of Plymouth Meeting, as
matron of honor, who were a white

and carried pink sWi el pea I!
The bridesmaids were: Miss Anna
C. Wright, a cousin of the bride,
ol Philadelphia, and Miss Anna Tpdd,
a sister of the groom, of Norris-town.
They also wore whie lingerie
dresses, with blue sashes and carried
pink sweet peas.
The bride's nephew. Master Fre-derick
Hoese Glanding. carried the
ring on a silver tray.
The groom was attended by his
brother. Charles Todd. of Norristown.
as best man.
The bride was given away by her
brother, Frederick H. Hoese. She re-ceived
many beautiful and valuable
gifts.
Immediately after the reception,
following the wedding, while thoir
friends were busily decorating the
carriage and arranging to give them
a "royal send off" the bride and
gioom by a circuitous route over
roofs and via ladder, back fence, etc.,
eluded them and boarded a trolley

The house was beautifully decora-ted
with mountain laurels and ferns.
Among the attending guests were
some from Reading, San Francisco.
Chicago, Norristown, Germantowa,
Roxborough, Plymouth Meeting and
Philadelphia.

entirely new turn to the whole ques-tion.
II was asked at the end ol the
brief filed by Mr. Hough and Mr.
Maxwell that should an executor or-der
replace the original .food Inspection
decision, Lb* name of tile blended ar-ticle
be "redistilled whiskey." On this
subject the brlel saj s:

The aigun^euts yesterday went Into
the whole question of the etimology
of the word whiskey and the legality
of Its use I nreference to the blended
article. The fact that neutral spirits
are never sold as such to customers
but always under the name of whiskey
was claimed by the blenders' counsel
to be Irrtlevant. The brief said:
"There is nothing inconsistent In the
fact that neutral spirits are sold to
the rectifier at high proof under the
name neutral or Cologne spirits, and to
the wholesaler or retailer, when re-duced
to potable proof, under the
name whiskey. In the latter case the

The gliht over the question was set-tled

Wiley and rendered a long decis-ion
that "straight whiskey" must be
that article of manufacture from grain
without rectifying, blending or miving
with anything. Redistillation, mixing
wth neutral spirits, etc., necessitated
labeling as "compound whisky" or 'lim-itation
whiskey." ,—
A groat protest went up from tho
men engaged in rectifying and putting
upon the market choice assortments
of mixed, blended and other grades
containing neutral spirits of ethyl al-cohol.
They claimed that heir busi-ness
would be ruined, and that their

authority ol food insists that one

e sports say that nourishing igod

It is probable that all are right.
Neither method is harmful, and the
choice lies with the Individual. If

is best lo add light nourishment such
as eggs and milk, to this meal.
