DECENTRALIZATION EVIL
Edward NJ. Shepard Suggests Remedy
to Illinois Bankers.

Galesburg. ILL.,. July 15.-The aboli-
ton OF the purely nominal money cap
talization OF business corporations as
cure for the evils Of overcapitaliza-
ton was set forth by Edward NJ.
Shepard. Of New York, in an address
before the Illinois State Bar Associa-
ton. The removal OF the dollar mark
from capital stock will. he believes,
go far toward solving the problem.
1T is the falsity Of the present plan
OF corporate capitalization which
should condemn IT," he said. "For
the very reason that 1t facilitates de-
oeit, the delusion Of investors and
insincere dealing with public senti-
ment or public officers. II should be
ended. II there be a better plan.
think there is. | propose that the
share Of stock shall have no dollar
mark; that its only essential feature
shall be the truthful certifcation that
It is one Of given total number of
equal shares into which the enterprise
is divided"
Mr.. Shepard also spoke Of the COM
mon idea that the profits of the rail-
roads and other public service cor
porations should be restricted to 6
per cent. This. in his opinion, is a
fallacy. and II so restricted would pre-.
vent industrial Advancement.
Private capital will not go into
new and untried enterprises unless
on a promise that in case of success
the profits shall exceed the rate Of
interest which could be earned on
assured Investments 4" he said

POINTERS ON EGG COOKERY.
Some Things 10 &c Borne in Mind in
Preparing Them.

Cheese and eggs. both having great
nutritiva value, may well take the
place of meat during brief season,
says the Homo Magazine Epicures
say an egg. to have the best flavor,
should be IL hours old, and certainly
eggs over week old are not palatable
when boiled, though they are not UNI
pleasant when fried and are quite as
serviceable In other dishes. In cook
ing eggs 1t Should be remembered that
the albHme1. of which the white is
chiefly composed, is most easily di.
aested when slightly coagulated, while
the yolk digests easiest when dry and
mealy To boil eggs evenly, put them
into a dish having a tight cover and
pour boiling water over them In the
proportion Of two quarts to one dozen
eggs, cover and set at @e back Of the
stove. After seven minutes turn Che
eggs, recover and in six minutes more
the eggs VIII be cooked. When more
eggs than four are used by this
method. about ten minutes longer
after the turning will be required In
this way the white of the egg cooks to
iellylike consistency, while the yolk
is much harder.
Foreign cooks use small portion OF
grated cheese to give piquant relish
to many dishes Veal broth, creamed
potatoes and many salads are greatly
improved by its addition. The shell of
