Are Stale Eggs Wholesome?

In his annual report the secretary of agri-
culture reminds us that under the adminstra-
ton of MIR. Roosevelt the executive created a
board to determine the wholesome character
of preservatives which had been condemned by
DIR. Wiley poisonous Quite a little Roadway
has been made by the board in removing pre-
servatiVes from me Wiley ban and the secre-
tary indicates that the time may come when
may eat poison without Federal restraint

cold storage interests in Chicago were In "a

the open winter and planning To dump
eggs and butter stored all the way from one

Of a marked reduction In price There is Yet
little cadence that the dumping process has be-
gun though We have the assurance that the
stale eggs and butter ultimately will be placed
at the consumers disposal
Eggs and butter five or ten years in storage
may be wholesome. Offhand we should say
that fresh eggs and butter are preferable We
should like 10 hear from DR.. Wiley and the
ke1nsen board. however before finally arriving
at settled conviction--not that it would change
cur preference, in the least, but that We could
have a scientific demonstration of the effect
upon the human body of eating food held In
cold storage.

WhiSkcy's Bloody REGARD

The crimes Of whiskey SO common that
we hardly ever stop to take notice of them
but in while they become SO appalling
that we stand aghast for the moment and
then drop back into accustomed way OF
passing them by with shudder and then dis
missing them from thought.
A few days ago at Wichita Falls. where our
conference recently met and was SO pleasantly
entertained. an engineer filled himself I'D with
wAiskey and for several days, according to the
testimony OF his wife. remained in that condi-
ton Of drunkenness In that condition he be-
came morose ard dsagreeable. and his wife
demonstrated with MN. This enraged him and
hc dealt her ugly blow. Her aged father
spoke to him III surprise but not rudely and
the man seized Il shotgun and filled him with
lead. He died at once Soon an officer an
peared on the scene to take him in custody
Tot dreaming of danger; but the drunken man
turned the gun on him and shot him dead In
stantly. After this other officers empowered
him and rushed him off In automobile to
an adjoining county to prevent summary VEN
geance. Wichita Falls is the only town be-
tween Fort Worth and Amarillo whore sa-
looms exist, and this is evidence Of the price
paid for their existence
About the same time two citizens came to
Dallas from Grand Prairie and both OF them
frtquented the saloons They became maudlin
from intoxicants Toward evening they boarded
an interurhan and became involved in a
drunken dispute when they reached their
home town and alighted from the ear, they
continued their quarrel Finally they came to
blows, and the younger struck the older
one a severe lick with his fist and knocked him
down, In falling his head struck the curbing
oil the sidewalk and either the blow or the
fall broke his neck, and in a few hours the
undertaken looked after the result
\ fcW days later citizen Went into a nearby
Saloon In Baiias To get a bucket OF beer and
he and the barkeeper started controversy
and thee barkeeper whipped six-shooter
and put two leaden balls into the other mans
brain. The undertaken looked after that re-
suit also.
We might go on and mention others but why
take space to record these bloody occurrencese
They are too common for US to devote~ time
and space to them.
Right here in Dallas. during the twelve
months just passed, fifty-three killings have oc-
