Amity St. The Down East Scallop Returns Winter brings its epicurean joys as well as does the summer season, and with the arrival of September 1st came the return to the menu of one of the winter's most fascinating delicacies the And to Brooklyn this delicacy comes with even greater welcome but more of that later. Of all the dishes in and out of season it is doubtful if there is one more popular than scallops, and by scallops the writer does not refer to the big, fat, tasteless sea scallop, the all-year-found variety, but the medium sized sweet scallop from Down East. September 1st is tlje first day this scallop can be served and for years past one of Brooklyn's most famous old restaurants has provided for that day.

In fact, the return pi scallops -to Gage Tollner's, at 374 Fulton Street, is an annual event of no small importance. For this restaurant makes a specialty of scallops of the Down East or Cape Cod kind, and it is needless to add that Brook-lyn's demand for this treat does not wane from the 1st of September to the 15th of April. There are several ways of serving scallops. Of course, everyone knows the fry and then there is the scallop stew, the Newburgh and creamed scallops. But the best of all and least known is the scallop broil.

This dish can only be cooked correctly over a coal fire, and as this dish is a Gage Tollner specialty it is turned out there "to the Queen's Mr. Seth Bradford Dewey, the proprietor, assures the writer that no one would have scallops any other way again if he. once had them as served at Gage Tollner's broiled. through all the exercises. For the heavy-, weights, the director gives particularly strenuous exercises.

Steam baths, handball courts, electric vibrators, hand massage and other exercises provided in the system' contribute to the great task of working off the totally unnecessary and disfiguring pounds that one is so anxious to get rid of forever. All exercise, is given with due consideration of the person's strength, and the entire system is for the individual. Thorough physical examinations precede each treatment. Good reputationsc are not confined to good men. is a democratic country, and anybody can acquire a good reputation if he will be patient enough.

Goodness and good reputations have no more to do with each other than ham and hamlet. Many a man with a magnificent full-jeweled, alabaster finished reputation is paying $3 a week in his factory, week days, and fighting the spread of immorality on Sunday. 'r A good reputation is like a diamond, any thief can get one, and any honest man can lose one.

Brooklyn Edison Team Wins Brooklyn Edison's crack, baseball team brought the championship of the Electric and Lighting League of the Metropolitan District to this borough when it', whipped the New York Edison team at Dykman Oval on Saturday. The score was 7 to 4, Errors proved to be the downfall of the New York aggregation, which committed no less than seven blunders.

Five of these were turned into runs by the winners. McGee, the Brooklyn mounds-man, although frequently in trouble, received excellent support his team mates, who fielded in brilliant fashion. First blood was drawn by the New Yorkers when Bussong doubled, scoring Nolte, who had previously hit for two bases. They did not score again until the ninth, when they scored three runs on two hits, two bases on balls and an error. In the fourth and fifth innings the Brooklyn batsmen got busy and combined three hits, three" errors and a walk' to score twice in each inning.

Two double plays saved McGee from being scored upon in the third and fourth after he had walked several of the opposition. Hayes, the New York Edison ace, pitched brilliantly, but was the victim of atrocious support from his team mates. He struck out nine men and yielded seven hits. Ganley, the 1 heavy-hitting left fielder of the Brooklyn team, led the assault with a double and a home run. Get Rid of that Extra Weight Who wants to lose a couple of dozen pounds Don't all speak at once.

Keeping the waist line down and losing that extra twenty pounds or so are the foremost topics of conversation of the hour. Even more important than your golf score or the number of new maids you had last month is the subject of your weight. It is an odd thing that everyone nowadays is talking about the latest reducing methods. Still, it is not so unusual, for every incident in our daily lives centers around it. All the fashions, both for men and.women, are designed for the slim.

Once upon a time the fat at least had the consolation of being considered good-natured. But now even that distinction is lost. Never before has "nobody loves a fat been so universally accepted. Only now the woman is included, too. However, there is no excuse for.

Anyone who is twenty to thirty pounds heavier than he or she should be can easily lose the unnecessary weight by careful and conscientious exercising at the Electric rollers, constructed to take off superfluous flesh, are the principal methods used by Director Yoxall, although anyone who takes the treatment must go TELEPHONE, 3842 STAGO Brooklyn Labor Lyceum Cafo and Restaurant J.

MEETING ROOMS Reputations A reputation is a sort of pure food label on a man's character. It consists of whatever he has persuaded other people to believe about him. A reputation is about the most important part of a man's possessions, though he never owns it.

If he has a good reputation, he can borrow money without security and run for justice of the peace on his record. If he has a bad reputation, people Count their spoons when he has left the house and look at him with suspicion whenever a crime has been committed in the country. It takes a great many, years to amass a good reputation. It can be done most easily by refusing to amass anything else. It takes five or ten minutes to reduce a good Reputation to splinters.

Nothing is easier. If a man hasn't time to do it himself, some hatchet-faced peddler of rumors is always willing to do it for him. A man must devote his personal effort to building up a good reputation; but when he wants to get rid of it, he has only to put a plug hat over his ears and allow 'himself to be seen in the neighborhood of a saloon.
