THIS EGG IDEA is NOT
EGGS-ACTLY RIGHT

And now we've got to quarrel
with our good friend DR., Harvey
Wiley, the food expert who has
been furnishing such valuable
and important articles for our
readers.
The doctor says that among
the food products which we may
have the entire year in fresh state
in reasonable abundance are eggs,
Fresh eggs in abundance are a
mere matter of scientific culture.
We've heard that, doctor, while
at Washington, where the abund-
ance of theory always surpasses
the abundance of cultured hens,
but when we got back among the
hens we knew otherwise. ,
When a young married man,
like the doctor, we were positive
that eggs were mere matter of
scientific culture and the honey.

tired and want to sit down. We,
bought seven kinds of prepared
(and advertised) hen food. We
chopped up lettuce and cabbage
and saved half-pieces of perfectly
good bread. Why, we used to go
out and take those hens off the
roost nights to bring them into
the house and warm their feet.
The very second day, those
hens each laid an egg. 1t was
March 9th, 18-oh we'll, way
back in the last century, and we
celebrated. We cackled louder
than the hens themselves as we
laid those nice, white, lovely
scientifically cultured eggs in
wifey's lap. Then we went down
to the grocer's, where eggs were
48 cents per dozen, and bought
a cake of yeast we didn't need,
in order to have chance to tell
the extortionist that we were pro-
ducing our own eggs.

EVELYN NESBIT THAW
ON THE STAND TODAY

White Plains, NJ ". June 2o.-
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. wife Of Harry K.
Thaw, took the stand this morning to
testify against her husband in his ac.
ton to secure his release from the
prison for the insane.
Mrs. Thaw testified that her husband
made proposal In New York In 1904
that they both commit suicide. She,
of course, refused.
She testified further that Thaw had
complained to her that the food given
him while he was in the tombs was
poisoned.
Evelyn Thaw's testimony was inter.
rupted when 1t was learned that Miss
Susan Merritt. who rented apartments
in New York to Thaw was in the build
ing. She had been sought for days
by the state.

AMERICAN WAGES HIGHEST.

That American wages paid to en-
ployes of the large railway system Is
greater than that paid to the men IN
similar occupations In other countries
is made plain by the bureau OF rail-
way economics. In the second OF the
bureaus comparative studies OF rail-
way conditions In the United States
and the principal countries OF Europe,
is seen a valuable demonstration OF
the fact that the United States rail-
way employe or other workmen owes
the big advantage shown to the pro-
tective principle 1t Is the principle
that raises the standard OF labor IN
American.
The average daily compensation OF
railway employees of all classes for
the year 1910 was, in the United
States. 1928; in the United Kingdom,
s1,05: excluding supplementary allow
ances negligibly affecting the average,
it was In Prussia-Hesse eighty-one,
cents and in Austria eighty-nine cents.
The lowest paid railway employe IN
the United States, the ordinary track
man, receives a greater compensation
than many of the railway employees OF
France, even those of higher grades
and with responsible duties, The
compensation of railway employees IS
from two or three times as high In the
United States as in Italy.
A recent report of the English
board Of trade on railway wages
shows that the average weekly pay
of enginemen in the United Kingdom
in 1907 was $11.17; of firemen, 1857,
In the same year enginemen on Amer
lean railways received an average
weekly compensation Of $3.50, count
ing six days to the week, and fremen
$15.24. Recent returns make 1t clear
that in 1912 enginemen, and hremen
in the United States are compensated
at rates OF pay for specific runs that
are two, three and four times as high
as the corresponding rates on repre-
sentative English railways: The an
nual compensation of enginemen IN
the United States, as reported by two
representative railway companies
now ranges from s1,1O0 In switching
service to more than $4,000 In passen'
ger service, and of firemen from 500
in switching service TO- more than
81 ZOO in passenger service.

was never used for that purpose
was completely remodeled at cost
