Advice About EGGS.

A writer in the Delineator gives some
sensible advice about eggs. There Is a
general impression that eggs, acknowI-
edged to be complete food, may be
safely eaten on all occasions. On the
contrary, as the writer alluded to
points out, invallds and young children
should never be given eggs unless they
are very fresh. Persons suffering from
biliousness, gastritis and several other
troubles find difficulty in digesting even
fresh eggs. Some physicians declare
that the slightest tendency toward
rheumatism makes eggs undesirable
The white Of eggs whipped to a froth
with little water is a good thing to
give fever patients, as a rule, but the
physician should be consulted before
even this is given to sick person.

Oh! the pity of it. 1t certainly
seems that if the men who go on strikes
would stop and consider the cost. thew
would be less prone to declares strike
on the slightest prdvoeation. Take
for instance the Chicago strike. Nine
teen garment-cutters were unable to
secure what they regarded as adequate
wages and they went on strike. Then
the teamsters, actuated by "sympathy"
struck also, merely to help the gar
ment cutters. But did they stop to
consider whether or not their ''sym-
pathy" for their own wives and families
demanded different course? Did they
think of the debts they would be COM.
PEELED to incur and of the terrible
struggle to get "psid up" which must
certainly follow their own prolonged
idleness? Did they reflect that there
would probable be, as there have been
upward of 500 men ''slugged" before
the strike was concluded? Did they
realize that the strike would cost, as il
has, $7,000,0O0 for the labor that has
been wasted and which can never be
regained?
Do they now consider the fact that
the nineteen garment-cutters are back
at work, while they, the teamsters and
their families are suffering want and
being driven, some no doubt from
cruelty, but many perhaps by want, to
acts OF brutality to their fellow men,
"scabs" perhaps, but nevertheless
men, and men who are, no doubt,
driven by lack of other occupation, to
take the work of the teamsters former
employers?
