Glory to the Blackberry Pie.

blackberry pie! 1t holds a place in the estimation of all
lovers OF good things tc eat that no other product Of the
land or sea occupies. Blackberry pie bridges the chasm be-
tween the millionaire and the pauper. It is found on the
mahogany table of the naughty society leader and on the oil
cloth covered pine table Of the lowly washer-woman. It is
on the bill Of fare of the grandest hotel and is fed to the
inmates of the poorhouse. The rich man who rides in his
gasoline buggy and the poor tramp who rides the rods under
the freight cars or steps from cross-tie to scross-tie in the
Dlsterlng sun meet on a common level at the lunch counter
ana both order blackberry pie. In a word, blackberry pie is
the one article of diet which makes the whole world kin.
blackberry time, good folks, is here.-Monroe ENQUIRER.

the big end is raised the older is the
egg.
AS an egg gets older, say the
Spatula, the water contained in the
white of an egg evaporates and this
causes the empty space at the thick
end Of every egg to become enlarged.
The larger that empty space becomes
the more the egg rises in the water,
till in course of time it floats.

Eggs, Fresh and Otherwise.


Information comes from Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson that hence
forth eggs styled fresh or strictly
fresh" must live up to their profess
sion. Storage eggs must be labeled
as such. If this rule is rigidly en-
forced-and the States of Nebraska,
Minnesota and Pennsylvania are lead
ing the a in Furnishing violators of
the law-there will be some queer
experiences. 1t is a well known fact
that many persons have been eating
eggs two years old under the caption
of strictly fresh" While any per-
son of sense realizes that strictly
fresh" eggs are almost unobtafnable
in midwinter and that the develop
ment of cold storage facilities has
been a boon to the consumer, it goes
without saying that free-born man
has a right to know what he is get
ting for his money. Then if he pre-
fers eggs under the ban, let him have
them.

ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family

It acts pleasantly and naturally and
