Eggs Head List of
Things Good to Eat

The egg as an eat" said the gourmet
or gourmand, or whatever 1t is that
kind of a person is, probably leads the
list Of human edibles, and the hen egg
leads all other makes, the duck coming
second far behind. and the others scarce
" in the running al all. Eggs prevail
on all private tables. and the public
eating place which does not serve them
is not worthy of the name.
AT one well-kn0wn New York res
taurant the breakfast menu contains
eggs prepared In fifty-four different
STYLES not counting the plain scramble,
boil, sunny-side-up, and other common
or kitchen varieties. These fifty-four
styles comprise eggs I'm combination
with meats of all kinds, fish, vegetables,
cheese. shell-fsh. and almost all the
other foods, though egg on pie seems to
be overlooked.
Nor does this fifty-four mention sew
eral styles l have met with in private
families, the product of enterprising and
inventive cooks and housewives. Really
the usefulness, the adaptability, of the
egg seems to be limitless. And speak
ing of the cost of living, may add that
each of the f1fty-four styles referred
TO is served at the price of 30 cents for
two eggs, including the trimmings
Which is not so bad when eggs are In
the market at 40 cents a dozen"

Chinese Set Example
For Table in Spring

In the spring of the year IT is difficult
10 secure green vegetables. or. appar-
emily, to get anything MT to eat" But
few people realize how many good and
most attractive dishes can be easily
prepared from peas, beans. celery, cab
bage, red as we'll as white sIroCs, Cauli-
flower and the like. A Chinese cook
would ask nothing better. Put these at
mis- disposal and ne will work wonders.
The whole secret here is in the proper
dressing. Skill in Using she right dress
ing would almost make a dish of saw
dust good. For this purpose white sauce
is preferred before all other condiments.
1t Is UP to the women to acquire the
marvellous art so common among the
Chinese and French of making a Va
riety of tempting dishes from common
and even the most ordinary materials.
There is little or no difference Chemi-
Cally between the potato and the ba-
nana-a sufficient hint to relieve the
humdrum monotony of a potato diet.
Take down your cook book, prepare
your white sauce and sail in for expert
ments with every kind of common stuff,
from caulifiower to carrots.

Trenton, N. J.-Because of the pro.
visions Of the will Of the late Hea4ry
Sked it is likely that $4,000, the pr-s
ceeds Of the recent sale of the Sked
farms at Hokewell and Pennington.
will be tied up In the court of chan
Gerry for at least sixty years. A life
interest in the farms was left to Mrs.
Sked and the children, and upon
their deaths were to go to the grand
children.
The sale of the land was made un-
der statute which permits the court
of chancery. where real estate is left
by will and where 1t is considered
wise to so to do. to convert the prop
erty into cash and invest the cash
for the benefit of the legatees.
Under this law the proceeds of the
sale have been invested and the inter-
est will be paid over to the widow
and children. AS the Sked children
are comparatively young II is likely
that it will be sixty years or more
before the money passes over to the
grandchildren and out of the control
of the court.

party were thrown into the lake. All
Of them chung to the boat as long as
they could. Then one by one the

SHERMAN ACT SATISFACTORY
President and Attorney General Be-

Statute is Needed.

ington.-President Taft and
Attorney General Wickersham will
set their faces against any attempt to
amend the Sherman antitrust law
along the lines suggested by Judge
Gary in his testimony before the
Stanley committee Saturday. In
the view of the administration the
Sherman law needs no amending.
The policy of the administration
has been formulated after a careful
consideration of the supreme court
decisions in the Standard Oil and to-
bacco trust cases. In consequence of
these decisions the attorney general
regards himself as perfectly equipped
now to enforce the Sherman antitrust
law against all and every offender
against the law in the nation.
AS Attorney General Wickersham
interprets the decision in the tobacco
case-and this is most important
since it is contrary to the general
opinion that has been taken-the cir.
cult court of New York has had the
case remanded back to 1t, not for the
purpose of devising means by which
the American Tobacco company may
continue business, but solely to arrive
at the most just and expeditions man
