POINTS OUT DANGER IN EGGS.
Should Be Cooked to Avoid Possibility
Of Infection by Them.

1t has long been known that milk
may be vehicle for the diphtheria
germ, but eggs have not until recently
beep suspected of having any part in
tEe communication of this Jnoisome
mGlady, recent number of the Lon
Gen Lancet contains a startling COM
munlcatton from DR.. Sambon. one of
the professors in the, London School
or Tropical Medicine, in which it is
SHOWN that fowls as-well as birds are
subject to diphtheria, and. that eggs
often contain virulent germs of this
disease and may easily: be the means
or spreading the disease. The doctor
claims that he has even found active
dlRhtherla germs in an egg at his own
breakfast. table,. - :gs..:.... ..r.....
In view of these facts, says Good
Health. 1t is apparent that eggs must
be invariably cooked to AVOID the dam
ger ofinfection. Raw eggs are unques-
ponably quite as dangerous as raw
milk or possibly even more so. The
egg Is doubtless much more often q
source OF serious illness than is gen.
orally supposed. A stale egg or sick
or infected egg may be the cause of
sudden nausea, vomiting and purging,
the real cause Of which. may not be
suspected. Certainly the~egg is very
Tar from being the safe and innocsnt
1ood which 1t has so long enjoyed the
reputation of being. Various species
OF germs have been found inside the
shells which were apparently fresh. 1t
Is known that germ may be picked up
and included in the egg during its
transit along the oviduct of the fowl
and that germs may penetrate the egg
after 1t is laid.

THE SIMPLE LIFE LEFT BEHIND.
Mankind Has CREATED Complications
Hard to Do Away With.

1t is easy to talk about the simple
life and SO hard to live il, for life is
not Sbsnpl67any more. It's complica.
tons secm'unavoidable.. At.5 49,. -,
The trouble lies in ourselves; the
entire trend of :womanly sentiment is
away from the things the, centuries

1t is the craze for something new
that is the undoing of simplicity,
Novelty is the keynote Of most of. our
lives. Even Friendships and matri,

microbe of reStlcssness. -. -.
A mother said not long ago: -. Baby
Louise is so f1nnicky she will only
play with her toys two or three times
before she is tired of them and 1 have
to send them off to the hospital.

that it showed progressive spirit in
her child. Such craving for novelty

again without some dire calamity fore
ing it upon our country, We must
change our views of much that we
now think progressive.
We will have to learn to draw a
sharp distinction between our necessi-
ties and our frills. A woman who is
noted for her restfulness and her
placidity in the midst of a hard life
was asked how she managed to keep

That is a good rule for any harassed

come to think life too much for her.

inquired her son, for whom the shoes
were intended
why, the salesman said that YOU
could walk farther in them than in
any others without getting tired, and
| said that You couldn't walk very far
just now on account of your knee,

farther for the same distance. So I

THE BOY WHO FIGHTS,
OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.

The maiden ladies of advanced age who alone know all about the way children ought to be brought up, will no doubt go into spasms of iudigna- ton over a Chicago police judges discharge of a l2.year.old boy brough before him for fighting. For the dis charge of the boy is not the judges only offeuse: he congratulated the boy on his victory ov-E a larger boy who had been bullying him, and added:
 "Go back and do it again if he bothers you any more. and if they have you arrested again rn turn you loose once more. like to see a boy who isn't afraid to fight his own bat ties. and it's a shame for him to be brought into the police court."\
 This must be simply paralyzing to the minds of old maids of both sexes.
 It may naturally seem wrong to many wcIIinteutioncd mothers, whose natural affection is greater than their knowledge of the needs of develop ing boys.
 But the judges advice is human and sensible
 The boy who will not fight when buIied or imposed upon will be no good when grown up.
 He win be imposed upon all his lie.
 other men will use him for their own purposes. and he will be a mega. tive quantity until his final submis, sion to the last common enemy.

 In the absence of courage, he is very apt to resort Co cunning and treachery. get his revenge in secret and dcspicable ways, and grow up a hypocrite and sneak.
