SOME FAVORITE DRINKS
FOR HOLIDAY RECEPTIONS

During this week there viii be many
exchanges of greetings through calls on
friends who are at home informally
for the holiday season. Especially is
this the custom in Washington on New
Years Day. when the family at the
White House sets the precedent with
New Year reception TO all Wash
ington and any others who may be in
the Nations Capital at this season and
who may desire to shake hands with the
Chief Executive in his home But there
is more formality attached 70 this than
in the private homes, where the host
and hostess expect their friends at any
time, without any set hour or day.
1t is customary in many of these
homes to serve eggnog after the old
fashioned Virginia custom. and made
by recipe which has been famous
in the Old Dominion from colonial DAYS.
The eggnog was brewed on Christmas
Eve, and during the week after the bot
tom or the big bowl was never allowed
to show. While most people have an
idea that eggnog is made with rum and
eggs, they do not know how to mix
these, nor do they know that eggnog
should stand a number Of hours in or
der to be good.

Railroad Man Killed Every Two Hours

1t is difficult to realize that in the
fiscal year 1908 the railroads of the
United States killed, in addition to
passengers, 3470 of their own en-
ployes, states McClure's Magazine.
When 800 or 400 persons perish in
some steamboat disaster or theater fire,
the world stands aghast at the calamity.
Yet our railways have brought about an
average of 1913 deaths each month
since 1908. Many tidy little city
has fewer adult male inhabitants than
the 4534 employees whom our railroads
killed in 1907
Injuries are twenty times more nu-
merous than deaths. Whereas, once
in two hours, month in and month out,
a conductor, brakeman, switchman or
railway laborer perishes by accident,
one is manned every six minutes. Last
year GA per cent of all the railway en-
ployes in the United States were in
jured; thus the chances are that no
man can escape accident for nine years
No wonder that most Of the life in
surance companies refuse to insure a
railroad man on any terms, while in
any sort of company switchman can
be insured only at a rating twenty
years in advance of his actual age.
Worst of all, matters are not improv-
ing. AS appears from the statistics APP
pended to this article, in which are
summarized the facts for the last
twenty-one years, the proportion of en-
ployes killed outright remains nearly
constant, at about quarter OF one per
cent each year. Not so the proper
ton of injured. The absolute num-
Der of accidents should have just
doubled with the expansion of the in
dustry. AS a matter of fact, it has
uuadrupled.

Tune Up and Stop Eating

If we can only have our souls at
tuned to the higher things OF life and
rise above what is sordid and common
place, says an exchange, there will be
no difficulty in shutting off much OF
what is vulgarly troubling. We will
not have to worry about so many OF
the things which now hold US down to
animal planes. A teacher OF the bet
ter life told her students in New York
that physical WEAKNESS could be put of
as we would divest ourselves OF all I'M
necessary garments, in ones room, OF
course, by resting the tips OF the fingers
on the top of the head and imagining
as we do so that that place is the
lower end of cord by which angels
are swinging US to and fro. 1t is only
among the coarsest organisms, she
said, that food or sleep at regular in
tervals was necessary. A finely at
tuned person can easily work eighteen
hours without food and be none the
worse for it. This will settle the cost
of food without the aid OF congressional
commissions. Get yourself highly at
tuned and let the trust go hang.
