POWER OF EGGS

GREAT NOTCH, N. j., Jan. iG.-The
conservation Of natural resources has
long been hobby of Hugo Pebbles,
assistant tank tender for the Erie at
this important watering place on the
Cedar Grove branch. Some folk have
regarded Mr.. Pebbles as peculiarly
eccentric in his contention that scien-
lists have manifested rank faulty In
neglecting to husband and employ the
natural resources Of the egg
THE egg" says Mr.. Pebbles, has
been overestimated as food product,
and utterly neglected as one Of the
latent power forces of nature. by great
patience and perseverance I have
demonstrated that n seven-year-old
egg can be utilized as the equivalent
Of fourteen ounces of dynamite. with
one such egg I have blown up the
stump Of ninety-year.old hickory
that resisted a charge of two pounds
OF black powder
| Dull and slack.witted persons have
argued with me that only chump OF
the idiot species would foster an egg
for seven years. but | have proved to
my satisfaction that Il is not necessary
to fosteran egg for seven years In or
der to acquire seven.year.old egg.
have discovered a process by means OF
which young and innocuous eggs can
be aged in a short time, and their full
power developed.
The Egg Aging Method.
Eggs grow old In cycles or circles
Of time. Everything connected witt
time is circular. Clocks and sun dlals
are circular; SO is the earth, which
turns round once every twenty-foul
hours and rotates on its axis once {

Bereft of Mrs. Clark at this time the

the Congressional club Mrs. Clark, is re-

Another Missouri woman who helps to
uphold the social prestige of the state in
Washington is Mrs Harry M. Coudrey.
