The Raw Egg Diet.

The raw egg diet is gaining a great
hold Oh fashionable New Workers, says
March What Eat. The advocates
claim to obtain more immediate and
material benefit from this food than
any other The heaIthfulness of the
custom has been given additional en-
phaSis by the declaration of pure food
advocates in their recent New York
convention that the only pure food
known is the fresh egg. The raw egg
eaters declare that the egg is spoiled
by any kind of cooking, and its bene-
fits can be obtained only when eaten
raw. To back their conclusions. many
researches have recently been made
on the subject and it has been found
that tourists in uneXplOred tropical
countries have been able to retain per-
feet health throughout the most try
ing exposures to heat and wet, by
means of dieting on raw eggs. An in
stance is mentioned where all in a
party of explorers became dangerous

but uncOOked eggs.
Believers in the new diet contend
that the egg should be eaten as soon
after it is laid as possible. Several
different methods of serving eggs are
in vogue, the most popular of which
is in sherry wine or with vinegar. A
very little of the wine or vinegar is
required in Il glass merely to give Il
zest to the flavor of the egg. Its bene-
fits would doubtless be greater with
out any of these accOmpanients

pleasant taste it leaves in the mouth
1t is declared that half of the benefit
of the egg is lost when the yOlk is
broken in eating. The eggs should be
eaten before meals. especially before
breakfast, but not every day An
everyday diet is said to be dangerous,
because of the superabundance of sui
phur it would produce in the system
1t is advisable to discontinue the diet
for as much as one or two weeks at a
time and then to keep it up steadily
for a few days or week again.

SAYS TROY FAILED
To MAKE GOOD.

Did Robert P. Troy, a leading Demo-
cratic luminary. formerly secretary to
the late United States Senator Stephen
NJ. White and now husband OF the
widow of that distinguished gentle
man. promise n. T. Giacomini that he
would use his influence with the Board
of Police Commissioners to secure a
license for the operation of a French
restaurant? Giacomini says he did.
and because the plan had TO be aban-
doned by reason of the vigorous pro-
tests raised by the members of the
Busn-street Jewish synagogue he asks
the courts to declare null and void a
lease which he entered into with Troy.
The Italian alleges that Troy made
representations that were false and
fraudulent and intended to deceive"
Giacomini was formerly waiter in
Marchands restaurant. According to
the complaint that was fled, Troy was
employed as his attorney. The attorney
owns the property at 1875 Bush street,
and on June 3. 1906. the two entered
into an agreement by which Gfacomini
was to lease the two-s story frame
building at total rental of $4,000 for
a term of two years.
The restaurant man says that Troy
represented to him that he would be
able to procure a license for French
restaurant for the sale of intoxicating
liquors and for sleeping and living
accommodations. He Insisted, so he
says, that the lease was not to stand
unless the license was secured. and de-
clares that Troy agreed, but repre-
sented TO him hat to put such a state
ment into the agreement svould render
1t illegal.
When the application was made for
a license the Commissioners refused to
grant the permit Giacomini alleges
that he paid 5000 in advance and
decided TO Troy property on Boyce
street. near Point Lobos avenue, worth
$500. as security. He says that this
deed was not to be recorded, but that
it was placed on file. He asks that
the lease be cancelled, his deed to the
Boyce-street property returned and the
5000 given back.
