PROTECTION; HOW IT WORKS
Rhode island, a Tarlft.Made State, 40
Described BY Miss Ida NJ.
Tarbeli.

THE doctrine OF protection Is worth
looking at as it works." declared Gov
ernor Wilson at Easton, Pa, the other
day. He added. in characteristic
phrase:
II haven't any reverence for any
economic doctrine whatever-except
a, it works"
How does the Aldrich doctrine of
protection work? H..
Ida M. !Tarbell is admittedly one OF
the foremost tariff experts who have
taken sides with the people in the
tariff controversy. She Is SOBER
thoughtful student and writer. whose
conclusions, though often annoying 70
some highly-placed gentlemen nave
almost invariably been found correct.
here is what Miss Tarbell says OF
that "tarit-made state" Rhode Island:
This, then, is high projections
most perfect work-a state OF half
million people, turning out an annual
product worth $1S7,0O0.O00; the lab
orers in the chief industry underpa1o'
unstable, and bent with disease; the
average employers rich, self-sacsned,
and as Indifferent to social obligation
as so many robber barons. It. Is an
industrial oligarchy made by ma
tons benficence. under the mistaken
notion that it was working out labors
naradise. Ri. It Is feudalism. and
not even benevolent feudalism.
No one can question the justice OF
Governor Wilson's statement, that
economic doctrines are to be judged
by their works. &c.,,
BY their fruits ye shall know them.
The fruits sof the Aldrich tariff are
bloated fortunes. corrupted politics.
enhanced cost Of living.

KEEPING AND STORING EGGS
| Well Dissolved Solution of Water,
Slaked Lime and SaIs Is Recon-
mended-Don't Crack.

There are many plans suggested for
keeping and storing eggs. but a very
simple one appears in recent ex-
change: To every three gallons OF
water add one pound Of fresh slaked
lime and one-half pint of salt. Have 1t
we'll dissolved. Drop in your eggs one
at time, but mind do not crack them.
II. you wish to keep them one or two
years you can do SO. But you must
use them as soon as taken out or they
will spoil. When you put In all you
wish, take a thin piece Of board and
put on top, and on that put little salt
and lime that the top may be as strong
~ the bottom. II these are kept, at
sea and in different climates. why not
keep on land in a cool cellar? Should
you wish to keep to transport, dissolve
sumcient gum shellac to make thin
varnish in alcohol, let them dry, then
after giving each egg coat pack
them in bran or sawdust. When want
ed wash of the varnish and they are
ready to be cooked.
