Eggs Cause Divorce.
Toledo Blade.


Divorces are Matched out of eggs. ac-
cording to Mrs Sarah Rorer. who has won
fame as a cook. The eggs themselves are
innocent she explains. The trouble is that
too many women eat them for breakfast.
and then, because eggs are heavy food and
bring on a feeling of lassitude housewives
neglect their duties and husbands become
angry.
eff fewer women ate eggs for breakfast
there would be fewer cases of divorce
says Mrs Rorer. I'VE would not hear so
much about wives neglecting their work
In the morning to lounge i'm easy chairs
and read the daily papers. Homes would be
kept more tidy, husbands would be better
satisfied with their helpmates, and the
auarrels that disrupt families would be re-
cited less frequently in the courts of the
land.
III do not mean that any woman eats too
many eggs at time. That is not the point
III one woman should eat one egg for break
fast each morning Ii would be too many
The morning meal should be varied And
few women realize this. They change the
style of cooking the egg, but they stick to
eggs

IOWANS NOT NEEDING
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
Like Harvard's Sons, Havkeye State
People Do Not Believe I'm Rails
ing Large Families.

DES MONIES, Ia, Dec. president
Roosevelt's big family idea is given severe
setback in the report of State Superintend-
ent Barrett, which shows a decrease of
10000 school children in Iowa since 1902 en-
rollment. The records show the 1903 enroll
ment to be $4,000. as against 56O,173 for
1902. The high mark was reached In 1900,
when $4,000 pupils were enrolled in Iowa
schools.
State Superintendent Barrett explains this
decrease by holding that large families are
unpopular among educated classes. The
decrease also is attributed to immigra-
ton of families to lands in Canada.

the blue coat, but not the blue cap;
jaunty sailor hat sat where the never
to be forgotten cap had perched. The
change was slight, but it was sufficient
to throw him into the most feverish
state of uncertainty. An insane desire
to shout q command to this strange
young woman came over him.
The ship was slowly opening a gap
between herself and the wharf, and he
knew that in a few moments recogni-
ton would be impossible. Just as he
was losing hope and was ready to groan
with despair the face beneath the sail
or hat was turned sQuarely in his d.
rection. A glaze obscured his eyes; a
numbness attacked his brain. It was
Miss Guggenslocker!
A pair of big glasses was leveled at
him for q second and then lowered. he
plainly saw the smile on her face and
the huttering cambria in her hand. He
waved his hat and then his handker-
chief, obtaining from her vigorous and
unrestrained signs Of appreciation. Her
face was wreathed in smiles as she
leaned far over the rail, the picture Of
animated pleasure:
Making sure that her uncle and aunt
were not visible, he boldly placed bis
fingers to his lips and waited kiss
out over the water.
"Now she'll crush me" he cried to
regretting the rash act and
praying that she had not observed it.
Her handkerchief ceased futtering In
an instant, and. with sinking heart, he
realized that she had observed. There
was q moment Of indecision on the
part of the fair one going out to sea,
and then the little finger tips Of both
hands went to her lips and his kiss
came back to him.
While he was still waving bis hand
kerchief, debating savagely and Joy.

ports or towns are to be opened for
foreign trade-no more foreign consuls
are to be allowed in Manchuria-no
foreigners except Russian are to have
part in the public service Of Manchu-
ria; it is thus that the dominant note
Of Russian administration is sounded.
The pretence is kept up throughout Of
addressing these announcements to
China as requests; but no one Is de-
ceived by the form. Russia has al
ready decided everything; and she
backs up her decision by the cynical
declaration that no further steps will
be taken toward the evacuation Of
Manchuria until the note has been
agreed to by China and then, Of
course, no evacuation Of Manchuria
will be needed.
Why Russia has decided to change
the storm centre Of world politics from
the middle east to the far east just
at this time 1t is hard to say. Possi-
bly, she imagines that by this method
she can cool of the heated spirits in
the Balkans who dearly love publicity,
and who have been looking forward
for some time to happy summer Of
murders and notoriety. It may be that
Russia Judged that revival Of the
Chinese question in an irritating form
would serve as warning to France
and England not to be too prompt In
tying up part Of their money in Kaiser
Wilhelm's Bagdad railway. Then
there is always Persia, where Russian
agents make the most headway when
there is cloud over the land. In any
case Russia has made the wind shift
In world politics those who
may fancy that she has forgotten the
Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean
Sea by causing something to be doing
in the far east are certain to be in error.
Russia Is like cat-she can work
rather better in the dark than In the
sunshine.
The cynicism of Russia's relation to
China since the close Of the Japanese
China war-when, with the aid Of
France and Germany, she robbed Ja-
pan Of her war prize in the Lao Tong
peninsula-is highly artistic. She has
played for all that she was worth
during these eight years to those who
still possess the capacity to believe
her. It Is a good thing that she has
now come out fiat-footed in regard to
Manch1rfe-if will avert further living
in her behalf, and it will also make 1t
impossible for anyone to deceive him.
self further in that regard. Officially.
1t is also a good thing, for the "Three
Governments" specially concerned can
now decide what they will do In re-
gard to their Chinese treaties It Is
hard nut for all Of them to crack. But
the hardest task imposed by the course
of Russia In this Chinese business up
on anyone Is upon Nicholas II, the
czar Of Russia. Just how much he
knows about the ins and outs .of re.=
cent Russian transactions IN the far
east, and about ollicial Russian state
ments in regard to these transactions,
is questionable; but at any rate he is
bound to hold on to his job as czar.
Being personally high-minded and
we'll wishing man, 1t is easy to see
that If his knowledge is at all ade-
quate he must be heartily ashamed
of his conspicuous post.-Hartford
Courant.
