"The crowds which came were not so
fitting as during some other big gather

really came to Omaha to learn some Of the
grand lessons which the exposition taught
other Hotel Men speak.
T. j. Taggart, Loyal hotel: The corn
show crowds beat the Ak-Sar-Ben con-
s~iderably. The business was steady and
without a break. The corn show visitors
were, as a rule, people with considerable
money, and they spent in freely. We could
not ask for a better hotel business than
we have had during the show, and we. are
glad that it is coming back next year"
Rome Miller, Rome and Willard hotels
1.-THE corn exposition has been a big sue
cess, educationally and financially. 1t has
emphasized the necessity for the Audi
forum for taking care of big affairs, in
spite of the knocks OF the m%ossbacks who
insisted that we had a white elephant on
our hands. Without the Auditorium the
corn show would have been impossible.
The show has been a success for the mer-
chants and for the hotels. 1t is a differ
ent thing from Ak-Sar-Ben. 1t was not
a carnival, but a great industrial expo
sition. There is room in Omaha for both
enterprises and we need them both"
A Leader in Results.

that will be of the greatest moment to the
western country and particularly to the
corn producing states. States that are
rich in mineral wealth in time exhaust
their products, but states that produce
wealth of soil never exhaust their re.

of production and development. Those who

COLD STORAGE OF EGGS.

A comparative test of the Ameri-
can plan of freezing eggs to preserve
them with the method Of treating
with lime has been made by scien-
tific French experimenter. The re-
frigeratiOn process is pronounced
hygienically superior. At low tenn
perature, even when continued sew
eral months, there is no perceptible
change in the taste or properties of
an egg, the yolk retains its position
instead of falling to the lower end
as in lime preservation, and the only
change in appearance is a little
greater whiteness. 1t is necessary.

about two degrees Fahrenheit below

TO PACK EGGS FOR WINTER.

Egg are expensive in winter and
though we pay high prices for
''fresh eggs" they are usually "fresh'
from cold storage. Here is method
of packing your own:
Get fresh eggs just laid, along
about the last of September. Take
four-gallon earthenware jar; put
a two-inch layer of salt in the bot
tom; then stand each egg with small
end down in the salt until the bot
tom is filed. Then keep on filling
till jar is full. Do not add any
more salt, for it will harden and the
eggs will break in getting them out.
The salt that is used is only for the
foundation.

the edges of the cardboard figure with
chalk, filing up the ribs, etc., at leis-

moves while the drawing is progress

important Industry That Is Conducted
in the German Town of
Welmar.

Consul VIII l.. Lowrie of Well
mar furnishes the following infor-
nation concerning the different
stages by which dolls are manufac-
tured in that important German
city. He says:
Only the assembling of the vari-
Gus parts of the dolls, painting the
bodies, arms and legs, and sticking
on the wigs is done at the factory.
Each figure passes through about 20
hands before it reaches completion,
the raw material being taken to the
homes of the work people and then
returned to the factory. The work
is all specialized, and each time a
new process takes place in the evolu-
ton of doll it is done by certain
employees who are more or less ex-
perts. Bodies are made mostly of
paper, although kid is also used ex-
tensiyely. They are nodded at the
homes or stamped out in heavy iron
molds at factories devoted entirely
to this feature. All sizes of dolls
are made, from few inches in
length to more than three feet. The
hair is Angora wool from England,
which also supplies the rubber (elas-
tics), stretched to keep the arms and
legs in place. Styles change each
year and the manufacturers must
keep in touch with the modes.

ABOUT VEGETABLES.

1t is safe to say that it is rather a
new discovery that vegetables are en-
dowed with qualities which are
transmitted to those who feed upon
the kindly fruits of the earth. These
qualities are physical, moral and in
tellectual. If we desire to develop
the reasoning powers and to endow
the equilibrium of the mind with
calmness and concentration we must
eat potatoes, but we must at the
same time remember that overindul-
gence in that succulent root may
produce apathy and Indifference.
Carrots produce good temper and
are strongly recommended TO peevish
and bilious people. French beans
the haricot vertof our French friends
lead to day-dreaming and artistic
thoughts and sentiments, and no
better food for authors and Journal
lists can be found-Lady's Pictorial.
