Why the College Girl Is So Strenuous.
Raw eggs have been added to the
menu Of the fragile, nervous woman
whose love of doing things" is out of
proportion to her strength or endur-
ance. Brown bread, oranges, milk and
olive oil, singIy and combined, have
been recommended for nervous women,
and now comes college girl who sings
the praises of raw eggs-not raw eggs
in sherry or raw eggs beaten up in
milk, but raw eggs straight without
any frills or accessories.
This college girl went through a
course of studies with basket ball, ten
mis-, golf and gymnastic side issues,
when the family physician had warned
her family that she was not strong
enough to stand a year of such rigor-
Gus living. The girl confessed to keep
ing eggs in her room all the time,
breaking and swallowing one at odd
times throughout the day, growing
fond of them and consuming some
times five and six without thinking
singly, of course. They had the effect
of a tonic.
Another. girl in her last year at
school is kept up to working condition
by a tri-daily dose of raw egg. At
breakfast she swallows one, directly
she returns from school another, and
at dinner one is broken into her soup
The iron in the egg holsters her up
finely, and she no more complains Of
a weak back or enervation. The treat
ment is recommended to other growing

Fall to the Nurses Charm.

An observer who has kept count
both through the newspapers and by
private statistics says that the trained
nurse stands head on the list Of WON
Ell who make good marriages through
their business associations; that the
private secretary comes next, with the
professional housekeeper little IN her
wake; that governesses and school
teachers appear to have very slim
chance, and that the saleswomen and
women engaged in commercial callings
bring up the end of the procession as
regards the converting of employers
into husbands.
Occasionally an artist marr.es his
model, a chemist weds the assistant in
his laboratory or a dentist takes for
his life partner the young woman who
helps him to keep office. But till now
the trained nurse has made more
havoc with the single blessedness of
her employers than has any cher order
Of working women. Whatever the Sc
cret, the trained nurse continues her
conquests, Transforming her patients
and her patients uncleS and fathers
and brothers into bridegrooms with
amazing facility. Even the nurse who
is a professed man-hater, and who de
clares that the only advantage in
nursing men patients is that they pay
her better and have no long hair to
comb, will veer around and suddenly
annex some well-to-do patient for bet
ter or for worse.
The apparently confirmed bachelor or
the widower whom his relatives be-
lieved sure to leave all his property to
them will succumb to the magic Of the
trained nurse before the interested
have time to object.

PUBLIC OPINION AND IRRIGATION.

The change in public sentiment the subject OF irr
cation was srikngy shown by the widespread interest,"
manifested in National Irrigation Congress at ogoeh
last week Eastern papers which heretofore nave either
ignored the subject hostile to it, printed adequate
reports of the meeting with editorial comment OF more
friendly tone The attendance larger than ever De-
FORE the enthusiasm greater and the returning oe
gates are unanimous declaring it the most successful
meeting ever held.
The Colorado Springs Evening Telegram says; ms
gratifying result has attained by ceaseless agitation
It is only few years ago that the whole idea of irrigation
was looked upon in chimerical and of little i'm
portance and the suggestion Of the government lend
ing its aid to the extension Of the scheme excited storm
Of protest against what regarded as graft The
irrigation Congress was considered of little importance
and received only slight mention in the papers
How different now! The president of the United
States familiar with western needs and western possib
ties supported irrigation bill with characteristic
earnesness secured its passage Already vast fund
in the treasury ready begin the construction Of dams
and reservoirs the surveys made and
tracts let
This change inentiment will increase the possib
ties of irrigation better known. and with the
attainment the first practical results opposition will no
doubt vanish entirely.
