from the east, which takes high class rates,
are much disappointed in the ruling of the
Interstate Commerce commission. which
holds that Minneapolis and st. Paul are
entitled to a lower rate from the Atlantic
seaboard than the Missouri river cities.
ut simply means that the consumers in
the territory about Omaha-Nebraska,
South Dakota, Kansas, Wyoming, Colorado
and Iowa-are not to have the advantage
of as low freight rates on dry goods and
shoes as the people in Minnesota. northern

portant to Omaha of any case. which Mis-
souri, river shippers have brought before
the Interstate Commerce commission in
recent years.
According to advices received in Omaha
Saturday the commission has held that the
class rates from the Atlantic seaboard to
the Missouri river cities are unreasonable
and discriminatory as compared TO the
rates to st. Paul and Minneapolis, but the
commission has also ruled that the rates to
st. Paul and Minneapolis are controlled by
water and Canadian railroad competition
and may be lower than the rates to the
Missouri river.
That is just where the ruling fails to
give us what We are entitled to" said one
Of the Omaha shippers signing the petit
ton. w are entitled to the same rate as
to the Twin Cities, because the distance to
Omaha Is about the same as to st Paul
and Minneapolis and the larger volume OF
business comes to the Missouri river from
the east. II the railroads can make money
hauling dry goods in the small volume
from the Atlantic seaboard TO the Twin
Cities they can make money by hauling
the much larger business and greater tom
mage to the Missouri river cities. What
we ask is that consumers in central Ne
braska and Omaha trade territory be given
the advantage OF the same rates as the
consumers In North Dakota and the Black

at twenty-five cents a dozen are cheaper
than meat, not, of course, as some suppose,
that the total amount of nutrients obtained
is equal. but because less money is needed
to furnish the meal. That is to say, the
experts figure, hat whereas 1.3 pounds
Of beefstake, costing twenty-five cents, at
twenty cents a pound. would be necessary
TO serve five grown persons in many
families five eggs. costing ten cents, at
twenty-five cents a dozen would serve the
same number and satisfy them as we'll.
If the appeites demand two eggs each,
doubling the cost, 1t still is 20 per cent less
than the steak. Many persons eat more
than two eggs at a meal. but the average
is two, and a chef in one OF Kansas City's
largest hotels says that one-half the orders
he receives are for only one egg. When
omelets, s~ouffles, creamed eggs and other
similar dishes are served In place of meat
or fried, poached or boiled eggs less than
one egg for each person is used. the chef
says
How to Cut Food Bills.
In a test made recently at Lake Erie
college. Ohio, 15 women students COM
puted the relative cost Of their meals. It
required thirty-six pounds of beefsteak at
seventeen cents a pound, or 1912 to feed
them, and fifteen pounds of eggs-ten
dozen at twenty-five cents a Dozen. or $3.50,
did the same good work and every one was
satisfied and happy and good natured. OF
course the lis women couldn't be eX-
pected to eat eggs every day just to save
$3.50, but they could do 1t two or three
times a week end get away with It.
Much may be heard about the digesti-
bility of eggs. Most OF the tests have
shown that about three hours is required
to digest medium cooked eggs, as against
three and one-half TO four hours for meats.
One person can safely eat eggs and an
other can't, and that's all there is to 1t.
How to Tell Good Eggs.
Gambling" is the bearers way of test
ing eggs to determine their right to re-
main in good society. If you fear TO trust
this process a better way, approved by
scientists, is to prepare a brine of two
ounces of salt to one pint of water. A
new-laid egg put into this brine will at
once sink to the bottom; an egg one day
old will sink below the surface. but not
to the bottom, while one three days old
will swim immersed in the liquid. II more
than three days old, the egg will float,
and IL two weeks old-well. grasp it firmly
but gently between the thumb and fore
finger, glide swiftly but carefully to the
receptacle in the back yard reserved for
discarded remnants of food, lift the lid
silently and then, II you have anything to
say, break II gently.

CITY LOSES HYDRANT CASE.
Stuck for Over Hundred Thousand
Dollars for Water Rentals.
WATER BOARD WILL APPEAL
Trial Lasts for Thirteen Days, hut
Judge Munger Finds 1T Possible
TO Decide Issue Inn
medIately.

The CITY of Omaha will have 10 pay the
hydrant rentals in the suit just finished in
the United States circuit court, according
to the decision handed down by Judge 7.
c. Munger Saturday morning. The
amounts payable by the city are 57,6O3.5S
and SIS, 26S. 70, or a total Of $ll5,S67.67.
These include only the two cases involv-
ing the hydrant rentals for the last six
months of 1904 and the first six months
of 1906. -Four other cases are still pending
for corresponding amounts and which are
to be heard on amended petitions involving
new issues, according to the attorneys for
the Water board. In the cases just de-
cided the attorneys for the Water board
have given notice Of appeal.
The cases had been on trial for thirteen
days and Thursday evening the attorneys
for the water company filed a motion that
the court direct the jury to return a YER
dict for the water company. The argu-
ment on the motion to instruct occupied
all day Friday and Judge Munger in a
lengthy decision Saturday morning sus-
tanned the motion.
Essence of the Decision.
The essential features of Judge Munger's
decision were that under the original con-
tract between the water company and the
city the water company was not confined
in the construction of its plant TO the
municipal boundaries of the city OF Omaha
He held further that the evidence did not
show a material depression in the water
pressure produced by the plant OF the
water company; that water had been fur
nished to the city of South OmahA for
seventeen years prior TO the beginning Of
this litigation and that the city had been
receiving its supply Of water through the
water company for twenty-one years be-
fore there had been any complaint Of a
violation of the contract.
Judge Munger also held that the city had
not required the water company to add
or take away from its plant under the
original contract nor were there any sub
stantial conditions so implied and that the
city had commended that II was not until
January l. 1906, it had Indicated it's deter
mination to default in It's hydrant rentals
or would pay them only at the end Of a
lawsuit. Prior to this time the city. ne
held, had ordered in numerous hydrants,
the reasons whereof being obvious.
In conclusion Judge Munger said; 1.-THE
case is rot different from other cases cited
I'm this decision, and the jury
is instructed TO find a verdict for the
plaintiff in each cause OF action"
