STUDY OF HENS EGGS.
Experiments to Ascertain Their
Food Values and Other Facts

experiments 10 ascertain Ine1r
Food Values and Other Facts.
The Agricultural department. through
its experiment stations, has been invest-
eating the food value of hens eggs. Ac-
cordng to a large number of analyses
made of American eggs at the various
sta lions. an egg on an average weighs
two ounces and has the following per-
centage Of composition: Shell, 1915; wa
ter. sc; fat, 9.3, and ash. 0.9. A side Of
beef contains on an, average ABOUT the
same percentage Of protein, but a larger
percentage of fat. Eggs belong to the
heterogeneous group Of foods, and would
naturally and quite properly be combined
in the diet with materials supplying car
bohydrales (sugar and starch). such as
cereals, potatoes, etc. At the California
experiment station :he object of the ex-
animation was to determine whether there
was any basis Of fact for the popular
opinion that eggs with brown shells have
higher food value than those with white
Shells 1t has been said by some that the
Brown eggs are richer than the white ones,
but this statement is not borne out by a
chemical, analysis, and the physical ex-
animation proves that the main points
of superiority though extremely slight,
are possessed by the white eggs. The
minute differences that are found between
the two groups are exceeded by variation
between varieties within the same group.
1t may be stated that there are pract
cally no differences so far as the food
value is concerned.
The Michigan station made tests Of the
effect of the character Of ratons on the
composition Of eggs. but no marked vari
alton was observed. In connection with
other work the digestibiIity Of eggs was
studied at the Minnesota station, and it
was found that The protein Of eggs either
soft or hard boiled was entirely digested
in five hours. the method of cooking hav-
ing some effect upon The rate of digesti-
oility, but not materially affecting the
Total dgestibiity The results agree quite
closely with those reported some years
ago by Rubner. 4 German Investigator,
who found that 81 of the protein Of hard
boiled eggs WAS diSesled. Digestion eX-
perimentS were made at the University Of
Tennessee with healthy men on q diet Of
bread, milk and eggs, and it WAS found
that from SO 10 50 per cent of the protein
and fat was digested. which warrants the
conclusion that eggs do really possess the
high nutritive properties which are pop
Ullrly supposed to belong 10 them. From
it's Investigations as 20 the kinds and
amounts of food consumed Soy persons en-
gagged in various occupations and the rel
alive cost of such foods the department
finds that. compared with other foods at
the usual prices, eggs at T. cents per dozen
are 4 cheap source Of hui rientS; at 1G
cents per dozen they are fairly expensive

Raising 1t Under Cover i'll Florida is

From the Baltimore Sun.
Tobacco is being raised under cover at
Tampa, Fla, and the experiment is sue
cess. An acre or more Of ground in Il
patch is covered with Il framework and
cheesecloth. They have,a number Of these
patches, amounting to- nine acres, under
cultivation. The covering stands 10 feet
al.cve the ground. The cloth also runs
around the patches. 1t affords protoc-
ton from heavy rains and from winds
that would injure the plants. AS it IS,
beautiful leaves for wrappers are raised.
AS filler the tobacco is also good, but it
is particularly fine when used for wrap
pers. The advantage Of raising the plants
under cover is found in the excellent col
oring they take on. There, is a demand
foc light wrappers, and this shade is ia
ken on by the plants.

who is caught out in a terrific storm,
and comes back wet to skin, cold,
hungry and with no fish.
After period of reflection the man.
ufacturers counted their gains and
losses, and discovered that their losses
consisted largely in pay to travelling
statesmen. advertising in the news
papers and lowering the price to beat
the other fclIow-all complete
waste and nothing gained.
After due consideration the manu-
facturers came to one conclusion that
there was better way. Instead of
pulling on opposite ends of the rope,
away from each other, they would all
pull together, stop opposition and
make some money.
\ remarkably wise conclusion. Of
course this means the discharge of the
travelling salesman, the advertising
and the expensive clerk. The COM
bine of factories will mean less eN-
pense in many ways and as the pro-
ductive power of the country is vastly
in excess of the ability to consume,
when working ten hours, it will mean
millions of idlers. These oilers hav-
ing plenty of time for reflection. like
the manufacturers, will see the i'm
portance of combination. The unions
will be greatly strengthened.
There will come more contest prob
ably between the great combines and
the immense federated unions, which
in time may land the''whole under
| government ownership.
But we are not ready for that yet.
Certain other events must occur to
carry us further forward.
1t is doubtful if we will ever have a
people Intelligent enough to accept of
government ownership We begin
more ana more To UOui)t It.
In the meantime we have bank
ing system such that banks can fail,
dcpositors lose their money, bank
rupt large share of the people, their
property going into the possession of
the few who become immensely
wealthy.
This banking system, which precipi-
tated the late, financial panic, pros
trated the manufacturing business
and compelled manufacturers to COM
bine to save themselves, VIII continue.
and bring on, through bank failures,
a far greater panic, sometime in the
future, in which all property will come
into the ownership of the few billion
aires.
1t may be then that the great mass
of people, seeing that machinery is do
ing all the work, finding themselves
utterly impoverished, and no chance
to earn dollar, will do what fools
generally do, all go out and commit
suicide. Perhaps, but we doubt it.

IN HERE is a town i'll Germany
called Essen. 1t is there that

IN HEhE is d to"li Ill "ei many
called Essen. 1t is there that
t he Kcupps build the wonderful guns
by which disputed points among Euro
pean nations are arbitrated with pre-
cision and dispatch. There also-and
this is more mportant-organized lab
or seems to have reached a point Of
development unknown on this side.
Incidentally, this is the town which
the late Mr.. Pullman pretended to re-
produce in Chicago, but only succeed
ed in caricatdring.
Mr.. r. A. Pierkows1<i of Essen as
| tonished his listeners in Brooklyn re-
Gently by a summary of what the 49,
600 workmen. who work for the Krupp
firm and who constitute three-fourths
Of the entire population of the town
of Essen. have persuaded that firm to
do for them.
Aside from the strict rules in re-
gard to a minimum wage and hours of
labor, which are made by mutual
agreement, the company makes these
provisions for the employees comfort:
It has invested $3,OOO.OOO in homes
for it's employees, which are rented to
them at a rate to insure per cent
profit OH the investment Books part
ly kept by the employees and open to
the inspection of all. The buildings
are all modern-equipped with gas,
heat and all conveniences.
Any workman may own his own
house by paying $50 down and the
balance in monthly instruments. Price
of the houses range from $3.50 to
$1,000. Books determining value open
to all.
In addition to the accident liability
provided by wise German law, the
Krupps have established a fund to take
care of persons disabled from any
cause, including old age. Half of this
fund is raised by contributions from
employees and the other half is paid
into the treasury by the tirm-dollar
for dollar This includes insurance
for the widow and children. o..
Hospitals are maintained by the
firm itself for any employe who is
sick or disabled. They are absolutely
free.
One hundred and fifty cottages for
aged and permanently disabled en-
ployes have been erected in one of the
most beautiful portions Of Essen.
There are fifty-three supply stores.
At the end of every year the profits
from these stores are figured up, and
these profits are divided among the
employees just before Christmas in
proportion to their wages. Books are
kept by employees and open at all
times to every man.
A school has been established by
the company, where the. young wo-
men and girls are taught the duties Of
domestic life-cooking, knitting,' sew
ing. etc. 1t is maintained entirely by
the firm. There is no charge. , Z
These are Il few Of the things that
organization has brought about in Is
sen.
Mr.. Krupp has adopted for his house
this motto: THE scope of our labor
shall be the welfare of the commun-
ity.~ But let no one deceive himself
into the belief that it is only Mr..
krupp's disinterested generosity. that
has brought about the conditions
enumerated, or that his motto was
selected witho1 the urgings Of ne
cessity. Largeness of heart is often
found in the individual. But business
is tug of war-you get nothing UNI
less you can pull a little stronger
than the other fellow.
When shall we have an Essen over
here?

A One Man Town.
by the Municipal
Poet Laureate.

On the bold rocks, like Gibralter,
There once lived one, DR.. Salter,
\ gentle man whose heart was kind
and whose hopes lowered high;
He loved his neighbor as himself,
lie loved his city more than pelf,
But tits a failing of the good that
they're too quick to die.
We lose them when we need them
This good man, who was "a whole
host,'
Though silvered were his locks, died
Young, for tenderness is youth;
And the place he had exalted
Seemed as stunned, and then it
halted,
And It's one-man-town-this boosted
city of Duluth!
Yes. such is life, and such is fame.
There's scarcely need to give the
OF the lilliputian tyrant whose pleas
l,re is our pain;
His example is offensive,
And his reign is most expensive,
Yet we seem to love to bear the
wrongs and loss that are his
The toll bridge nuisance is one job
Sadded on us by this nabob,
And that, too. now is being ''fNed''
for a receivers hands;
He'd tax the people, but he's lax,
When he is asked to>pay tax
On his mismanaged franchise and his
broad ill-gotten lands.
4 base metldler he, by nature,
Moved Il venal legislature
TO tamper with and change the law
relating to divorce,
To help him put away the wife
Who'd helped him to success in life!
When he can't win by fair means, he'll
resort to fake Or force.
Search, and you'll find marks of his
paw
All through the anti-boycott law
The move was started by the wolf
who dominates this town.
The first howl Of the ''Union Scare
Direct came from the loathsome lair
or this gaunt leader of the pack
who'd stave The workmen down.
One judge refused to be his tool,
And froWned upon this tyrant's rule,
So that certain petty prosecutions he
had to abate;
But the matter was not settled,
For to check him only nettled
Him, and reused in him Il vengeance
that nothing could plaeate.
What cared this modern Nero
If each workman was hero
Who had toiled through heat and cold,
and was never known to shirK?
off with their heads!" he whisp-
with the tongue that lies had
blistereO
TO the tool whom he'd imported to
do his dirty work.
What cares he for the opinion
Or good men in his dominion
Who think it wrong to wantonly
plunge families into want?
OFF with their heads! and hurl
them down!
If | would pauperize the town,
I'll do it, for | own the place! No
court shall say I can't!'
And the tyrant, never quitting.
Still is sitting at his knitting
In his lair among the rocks like Glib
raltcr: and the frown
OF the people and the judges
Can't affect him or his SrudSeS,
For this small man is Il big man i'll

is President. has made arrangements for
the expenditure of nearly 100000 for adj
ditions and improvements of the buildings
at that pace in order 10 meet the increased
demands upon its accommoda tons in con-
sequence of the great number of regulars
who were incapacitated through service in
the war with Spain.
The accommodations of the Barnes Hos
pital are to be nearly doubled, and two
wings are to be added TO the main bull ling
These additions will cost about $4,000.
An addition is also to be made to the
King building al a cost of $4,000.
improvements to the amount of So, 800 are
to be made to the power house in order to
meet the increased demands of the inmates
of the home. All the expenditures mel-
toned have been authorized by the Secre-
tary of War. and 1t is expected that the
work will begin at once. AS is well known,
the home is supported by the soldiers of
the regular army, each of whom contribute
II cents month toward its maintenance.
