PROPER CARE OF EGGS FO@
HATCHIES

a frequent reason for poor matches
is because germs are killed or chilled
when eggs are not gathered right after
laying, especially turkey and goose
eggs laid so early us frosty February.
Alternate heat and cold are killing;
sun shining on eggs is Getrimental; Il
draft over eggs dries them out
Eggs breathe.
They are often kept in incubator
rooms where lamp fumes affect them
or in damp cellars in dead air amid
vegetable odors. where they change
to rots and spots or mold
A well aired room at a temperature
Of IS degrees is best.
They should be spread fiat on crates
covered with clean white paper to
avoid evaporation.
Do not wash eggs.
Water starts decay.
Vinegar is the best cleanser.
Discard filthy eggs, brush of the
mud. but set goose and duck eggs as
they are.
They are generally dirty because
dropped anywhere, but should not be
washed, as it removes their gelatinous
coat.
Turn eggs once day, but remember
a jar often ruptures the germ.
Roll them gently with the palm.
This exercises the embryo and keeps
the yolk in statu quo.
Don't set old eggs.
A germ has its life limit.

ISO Uneasiness

Washington, December 5.-Apparently no uneasiness is being felt at the state department over the circulation of a book by Senor Juan E. Paredes, former special minister of finance from Hon duras to the United States, in which he charges that the United States en- couraged the Honduras revolution. It is said at the department that Senor Paredes himself made the plans ifor the loan and that the United States could not force if upon Honduras as the latter country had congress which could accept or reject the pro- posed agreement making the loan.

The motion was made by counsel for the Chicago as- sociation of commerce just before argu- ments were begun today on a motion to make permanent the temporary injunc- lions granted several weeks ago. This probably will be granted as the govern ment already has appealed the case on the temporary injunctions to the su- preme court of the United States.

Teal reason was because l was so fat.
 MT. Israel Zangwill, in one of his brilliant heartless epigrams, defined marriage as "A Sacrament of Soul, and a Profession for Women" Of course, many women say, that MT. Zangwiu does not know what he Is talking about, and yet no real, true honest, good wom- an can deny that Marriage is a profes. sion for women-the nobles and best they can aspire to.
 Marriage is woman's highest calling. and it assumes the dignity of Profession when she enters the relation with the hon. est intention to carry out her part of the contract-to help to make a home to help build an altar, to the High God of the Hearthstone.
 Had you ever stopped to think that Marriage is the only state in which a woman demands that she be perfectly HAPPY?
 I'm sure I never have heard of any other profession, or calling, in which the discipline demanded perfect and absolute happiness. You may have but I haven't.
 The woman who writes for her liv- ing may be happy in her work, bur for her success she makes daily sacri- fees to her art-sacrifces that to her mean more than all else in the world
 In like manner, the woman artist shows another side of life other than the picture she paints of sunshine and green fields. i. If she didn't know the shadows she couldn't paint the sur- shine; and the woman who marries to make a home for the man she loves isn't going to develop into the woman she MIGHT be if life is made too easy for her.
 Happiness, alone, makes us as dull as all work and no play makes Jack.
 It is when we encounter the giant UNHAPPINESS and lay him low thai our muscles begin to develop.
 None of us has any right to happi. ness, UNLESS we earn 1t, and ths woman who complains of UNHAPPI- NESS is usually the one who demanos that HAPPINESS shall be brought tC her on silver salver.
 Happiness with a great many people is synonymous with that very elasti'
