WON'T MIX
Bad Food and Good Health Won't Mix,

The human stomach stands much
abuse but 1t won't return good health
if you give it bad food.
If you feed right you will feel right
for proper food and good mind is the
sure road to health.
"a year ago became much alarmed
about my health for began to suffer
after each meal no matter how little |
ate," says a Denver woman.
Il lost my appetite and the very
thought of food grew distasteful, with
the result that l was not nourished
and got weak and thin.
MY home cares were very heavy. for
besides a large family of my own |
have also to look out for my aged
mother. There was no one to Shout
der my household burdens, and come
what might, I must bear them, and
this thought nearly drove me frantic
when l realized that my health was
breaking down.

toward her in debating letter.
He made the rounds of the Office employees
asking whether they smelt egg, but all being
too polite to tell him he had overlooked an inn
portant point, declared they srnelt egg. The
odor stayed with him.
In desperation he fled to his private office, NUT
tering as he slammed the door: my heavens,
the whole world smells, and one knows it but
me-"
But that is only a minor point in the adoption
of a new national food by Uncle Sam. with
each year the production of the hens of the coun-
try is becoming smaller in proportion to the de-
mand for eggs. AS consequence the experts
declare that each succeeding year will see the
price soar beyond expectations. The last months
of winter and the first of early spring are the
hardest for the egg eaters, for then the cost
scars, there less of the precious morsels and
those which appear are often hodovers from the
year previous. but even those bring prices rang
ing from 30 to 40 cents dozen.
The time is remembered by many when the
best eggs brought II cents dozen in retail
stores, and the wholesale price was below that.
So steep has the conventional cost become that
thousands of farmers yearly devoting their
land to the raising of fowls
The industry has already become a mighty
factor in national life and within two decades il
the country continues to eat eggs at the present
rate of increase the business of growing eggs
may outweigh that of cattle and grain.
In the large Cities Chicago for instance, the
high price of meat compelled the poorer classes
to adopt the egg means of obtaining nourish-
ment. The increased demand of course boosted
the price. but still the middle and upper classes
cling to the fowl product foul or fair.
In the great marts of trade the egg industry is
perhaps the most interesting of ALL One great
cold storage warehouse in Chicago during the
last egg famine, unoaded on the market close
to 6000,000 and every one was sold to the local
retail merchants. The eggs said to have
been in cold storage for nine months, pending

increase in price sufficient to yield the spectators
considerable profit. They estimated the proceeds
after all expenses had been met at four cents the
1ozen-7$20,000 on the lot.
Other great egg corners have been manipulated and
he profits doubtless have been even greater, but
hey seldom come to the public ear because of the
;hekels which raked in from the enterprise.
In the egg corner mentioned above, of men
worked day and night for two days getting the prod
let out of cold storage to place them the market
while the price held up
The workmen were where they could be called at
,nce and the minute the word came over the tele-
hone to get the great crates out of the cold storage
the toilers were set to work. Two days
later every egg had been Sold the money collect
cd and more than half of them eaten by the con-
sumer.
1t great coup and only of the many.
Other enterprises of like nature where the pro-
ceeds have ranged into large figures have been
told, but the details seldom became public prop
erty.' This, by of the fact that the egg
corner" is to-day a rather undeveloped science.
But the monarchs of other branches of the pro-
ducing world have come to look upon move
ments of that sort as one of the money makers OF
the days to come.
Early this month when eggs Ceases returned)
were bringing only 10 cents a dozen, wholesale,
the lover of them felt fairly jubilant and barn
yard prognosticators predict that this jubilant
feeling shall prevail for the rest of the summer.
Extra quality eggs were then selling at 23 cents
dozen, while ordinary "irsts" brought 10 cents
and ''frsts' one cent more dozen, prime frsts"
selling at Fl cents.
So, with the sway OF the strawberry the price of
eggs dropped off, and before August it is said the
cost may go lower.
With the private producers who sell only linn
tied quantities of eggs, 40 cents dozen is not
unheard of figure for what known as eggs
laid fresh today" OF course, the right to that IT,
tie must be undisputed and often when eggs
sold, backed by reputation for freshness high
er prices paid for them by the epicures.
However, frauds in eggs frequent as
swindles in other industries, and fastidious per-
sons, who hate cold storage eggs worse than they
do paying fancy prices, are often taken in by the
farmer who rides into the city the interurban.

lovely girl is described as follows;
"She was very small and dark, and
very active, with hair like the color of

and lips like all crude scarlet, and
eyes as absurdly big and round as
