market, and the fact that he does
j, not know how fresh any of his eggs
are, but simply takes what he has
on hand and sells them for so much
per dozen, good bad or Indifferent
Is the reason why he does not get
as much for his eggs as he should,
and which system keeps the price Of
eggs down all over the country.
The buyers knows that there is a
certain per cent of the eggs that
come to him from time to time that
are of no value, being rotten or 9TH
erwise useless, and in order to pro.
tect himself he must figure in this
loss in his price to the farmer, and
consequently the general price in the
market is reduced and the farmer
stands the loss. The only way to
tell the degree of freshness of an
egg is to candle it, and when every
egg is candled before it leaves tn
farm and only strictly fresh eggs
marketed the price of eggs will rise
fully one third more, in price.
The process of Gambling is simple.
A Gambler consists of a bright light,
usually an electric light bulb( but
a good lamp will do when the cleo
trio light is not available,) around
which is placed tin shield or other
Opaque substance and in which
small oval hole has been cut a little
smaller in size than the egg. When
the egg is pressed against this oval
hole the light from the bulb or lamp
on the inside shows through the
egg, and the white and the yolk, as
well as the air space and general
condition of the egg, can be at once
seen and determined.
Egg Gamblers of excellent make
are on the market and can be had
for a small sum, or any ingenious
person can make one for his own
use, but whether you make it or
buy it, the point is to have one and
to candle every egg taken to mar
ket, and you will absolutely know
that all of your eggs are 'firsts" and
fresh and are worth more than those
of your neighbor who does not candle
his eggs.
The next thing to do when you
have candled your eggs and taken
them to market is to insist on being
paid for them on quality basis.
II the buyer doesn't care to take
your word for 1t and your grading,
let him candle them himself before
determining the price; In any event,
sell only upon a quality basis and
you will be the winner in the long
run.
Every farmer and egg-producer
should have Gambler and use it
every day with every egg that is
and when this is done
you will see only the best class of
eggs on the market and the farmer
viii be receiving more for his pro.
duct. Self-preservation Is the first
law Of nature, and the only way to
preserve to the farmer the value of
his eggs and guarantee to him full
and fair price for his product is
through the use Of Gambler. Let
every farmer get one at once and.
use II.

TWenour hours after the convention adjourned Governor
Wilson, at Seagir j. talking the newspaper men, remarked

"A PLATFORM IS NOT A PROGRAM"

Bacon and Eggs
BY WEEK JONES.

Colonel Roosevelt
T EFT the French with Omelette start off the day,
- It's all right for the people who breakfast that way;
Let the Scotch tumble out of their beds in the heather
To breakfast bagppes and oatmeal together;
But give the dish American begs
steaming platter of bacon and eggs
Bacon and eggs bacon and eggs,
1t puts brains in the Uranium and Drawn in the legs
Give wheatine to faddists to gnaw on and MUNICH,
And nuts to fooders to humble and crunch
And let the dyspeptic desparngly peel
An orange to make his matutinal meal:
But the healthy American assuredly begs
For his breakfast platter of bacon and eggs
Bacon and eggs, bacon and eggs,
1t builds up from noodle to legs
Take Teddy-don' tell us he s ailing or sick;
If he is, he II get over it pretty blame quick.
Is it toast that he calls for and pot of weak tea7
Not much-that's for invaids not such as he
No; he knows what II put him right back his legs
And that's good breakfast of bacon and eggs
Bacon and eggs, bacon and eggs,
You bet, that's the breakfast healthy begs.

In this problem of Working for
the Boss there is one point we are
forever forgetting:
A man is his own Boss, whoever
he works for
If there is more in him than
there is in the job, he must take
the next train Forward as soon as
he has the fare.
For this purpose a little cash in
hand to pay the expenses of the
move is indispensable. Here is the
first and logical purpose of Thrift
and Saving.
Get something ahead so as to
command your own freedom when
the move must be made.
A Boss is apt to have fair
knowledge of relative values, if he
is a decent kind of Boss.
How He Figure.
He is apt to figure it ont like
this:
SO much capacity. so much pay.
Now, answer this:
If the Boss is a little slow to
raise the pay should man take
revenge on him by not raising his
own capacity?
If man has Skill for Sale, he
must keep on improving it on ac-
count of the competition.
And when the habit of improving
skill is fixed and reliable, he will
then find a market where his goods
are in demand.
That market will be right here in
the stores

future of girl of my
age who has allowed her affection
for man, and her belief in him, to
lead her away from the path of
prudence and purity, and who now
finds the man about to marry an
other girl?
Can the one who is abandoned
and deserted hope for any happi-
ness or success in life?
Can she hope to be forgiven
sufficiently to ever take her place
again among good men and wom-
en-?
Can she do as the man is doing,
marry another without telling Of
the error?"
1t is the old, old story and the old,
old problem.
Yet, not quite so much of a prob
lem as in olden times.
The two standards of morals are
less marked than they were even

There are more avenues open

occupation and growth than there
used to be, and there is a broader
sentiment prevalent in the world
regarding the woman who has
erred, and who earnestly strives to
get back into the right paths.
Work and Study.
Such a woman (who has no I'M
fortunate evidence of her mistake
to confront her hourly) should en-
deavor to occupy her mind as who'll
ly as possible with work, study, be-
nevolent and philanthropic duties
and efforts at self development and
forgetfulness of the past.
She should think of those things
which build and construct the NOR
al nature, and obliterate to such
degree as is possible unhappy and
depressing memories.
Nature, as well as society, has
made it's different laws for men and
women in matters of morals.
A man easily forgets his lapses
from virtue; they slip away. per-
haps no farther than the subcon-
scious mind, but far enough to give
him a very comfortable feeling and
to allow him to accept all favors
from good women with no sense of
a troubled conscience
Even the favor of a good girls
love and the bestowal of her hand
and heart he takes without a
qualm.
Possibly this is because he has
been educated from time immemo-
rial to think he has right to do as
he pleases, and because he knows
women have been educated to~ac-
cept his misdeeds as trivial faults,
and to forgive them before he asks
