RAW EGGS ARE BAD.
Disease Germs May Be Lurking in
Fresh Ones.

New York, Oct. 2O@According to
Information communicated to produce
men in this city by the scientific ex-
perts of the department of agriculture,
even the freshest eggs may, under Ger
tain conditions, cause Illness by com
municating some bacterial disease or
some parasite.
1T IS possible Secretary Wilson
says, for an egg to become infected
with micro-organisms either before it
is laid or after. The shell is porous
and offers no greater resistance to
micrO-organism which cause disease
than 1t does to those which cause the
egg to spoil. When the infected egg is
eaten raw the micro-Organ isms, if
present, are communicated to man. and
may cause disease"

Mrs. Aggie Myers and Frank Hoffman,
sentenced to be hanged October 26 for

turn to Jefferson City. The governor
was at Marshall, No, when he received

Justice Brewer, but he stated that ne
would be glad to comply with the or
der and the request Of the supreme
court Of the United States in order that
they might correct any error, If any
had been committed, by the supreme
court of Missouri. He added that In
asmuch as the record Of the case Of

BISHOPS SOCKS TAXED.
He Makes a Contest and Wins Over
the Customs Collector.

New York oct. 2o.-Right Rev.
Thomas J. Conaty, bishop of Los An
geles, won a tariff appeal when the
board Of United States general apprafs-
ers decided that rich silk hose imported
for the use of the prelate at solemn
religious functions are regalia and not
dutiable
While the bishop was in Rome some
months ago he bought he'd and purple
hose to conform with the colors of his
vestments worn at certain ceremonies
The hose were shipped to Los Angeles
direct, where the collector of customs
decided that the articles must stand a
sixty per cent duty under the provisions
in the tariff for silk wearing apparel.
The action of the collector is re-
versed.

AT Gera, in central Germany, a gem
tleman who had been suffering from
toothache made up his mind to have
a tooth out. The stump proved a diff
cult one to draw, and when it was
taken out was of such curious
shape that the dentist declared
that he would keep it as a curl
osity. His patient thought he
would like to keep 1t himself, and
claimed it; but the dentist, on the
ground that a tooth when drawn with
the free consent of a patient, is owner.

entered an action against the dentist
who has had to deliver up the molar.
