Ottofried,
Although it has been quite a while since I looked in detail at Stark's Tables here is an extract from my notes that I made at the time that you may find useful
"The constant is added since Q for the Moon is always used in conjunction with Q for the other body. There a corresponding value of +0.000123 has been included so that it is always positive and hence the two Q's can always just be added to produce the correct result."
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Robin Stuart
