GIRL EATS 1000 EGGS AYEAR
Chicago Maid Makes Another Record
For Windy City
ST. LOUIS BOY WONDER ECl|PSEO
AT ONE SPRINT SHE DOES rs

| DEN Elk, FeD. 2l.-JOSepn "lSSe VI
! ST. Louis holds the worlds record in
the short sprints when it comes to the
raw-egg game-at least he lays claim
! to the pullet-surmounted medal with d
story of 25 of the high priced delicaCies
in sixty seconds. But Wigge is down
and out, clear under the ropes and lost
! to sight in the crowd when it comes to
and to Denver goes the medal, plumage
and all.
A girl. who once lived in Chicago,
| but came to the Queen City for a better
| appetite and is one of the robust pa
/ tents at the Cakes home. has won the
honors and Wigge will begin to feel
an after New Years dizziness when he
hears of his fair rival.
/ Miss Pearl Lockhart doesn't go in for
! sprints, although she can do few laps
at the pace Of 25 glisening white Coch-
n-Brahma specimens from Nebraska
a day, and under pressure of a con-
| test might make things interesting for
the ST. Louis boy wonder. But it is the
long distance game that appeals to the
Denver girl and she has set an unri-
vailed pace all her own.
New Years Eve Contest.
| They watched the old year out at
the Cakes New Years eve, and just
before the noise broke loose a dozen
pretty girls who had been making a
little record quietly during the year
| slipped out of the crowd and disap-
peared to do just a few more eggs to
make the annual total come out in
round numbers, and then they COM
pared notes.
| The former Chicago girl wins by a
lap and proudly boasts a record of
| 1000 eggs in the good year 1906. Not
eggs over or straight up" but just
| straight and raw.
There is no account of a New Years
eve contest in the halls of the spacious
| Agnes Memorial out toward Fair
| mount. but the steward gives some fig
ures on egg consumption which would
make the average housewife take one
| look at the price chart of the last eight
! weeks and faint away until the hens
get down to business again.
-Four hundred thousand eggs a
year." says the cook at the Agnes Me-
mortal. Think of it! Almost eight eggs
day for all of the $50 or more pa
tientS. A few of them don't eat eggs
at all, but some eat from IL to "a eggs
| every day in the year.
At the Cakes home they use about
100000 eggs in year, and the regular
daily shipment from poultry farms in
Nebraska and Kansas averages some
where near sixty or seventy dozen.
At the Jewish home, where there are
only half as many patients, it requires
about so cases of 80 dozen each a
month. The market price Of eggs a few
weeks ago got around to 40 cents for
household use.
But the health seekers who flock to
the Denver sanatoriums for free air
and perfect diet, must have eggs-so
DEGREES the law and the physician-and
law in sanatorium is the real and I'M
adulterated law. The boarding school
rule which says a girl must be in at
p. m. is joke compared to the diet
bulletin of a sanitorium.
Fresh eggs they must be at that, for
while cook behind closed screens can
| take chance on opening a shady one
occasionally and scooting it out of the
window, demure miss or timid man
in sanatorium doesn't relish the idea
| of rolling out of the blankets on the
sleeping veranda at s a. M. reach
| ing for the egg tray and-phew!-no
they must be fresh, and so all the big
san1toriums contract for the record
breaking supply from the farming
states to the east where the poultry
business is more fully developed than
| in Colorado. The day is coming. how
ever. when chicken raisers in Colora do
