German Scientists Advise the Eating
OF Egg Shells by Those Who APP
proach Old Age.

TWO Germans. deep thinkers-Pro'
lessons Emmerich and Loewe-statc
that egg shells eaten increase the
power of resistance against "the with
ering blight OF time" add weight to
the body, activity to the brain and
strength 10 the heart: that they de-
stroy injurious bacilli, prevent imam
nation and disease and lend courage
and energy. This reminds me. Phil
ip Hale writes in the Boston Herald,
o. the preparation advertised in Lon
don 30 or more years z as an eN-
cellent substitute for table butter,
none genuine unless stamperd on the
blade. Eustace Miles. the English
court tennis player and vegetarian,
says he had an old nurse who used
to eat egg shells and crunch them JOY
fully between the teeth that happened
to meet, and she said she ate the
shells because they shaved the hair
off inside OF the throat" The discoy'
cry OF the German scientists Is pc
culiarly welcome to dwellers by the
ocean,. for il is a well known fact that
il you do not break egg shells the
witches will put out to sea In them tc
wreck vessels, and II you burn the
shells the hens will cease to lay
Furthermore. as eggs r now absurd

SOME QUICK GROWING TREES
Poplar Family Used Quite Extensively
Along Streets or on Newly
Laid Out Land.

The poplar family is used very ex-
tensively to make a quick showing
along streets or newly laid-out land
near cities. The Carolina is perhaps
the favored one, next to this the LON.
hardy, and, of course, the naples are
frequently seen. The maple, says the
Agronomist, is beautiful and will al
ways be used, in spite of the fact
that many varieties are afflicted with
blighgt and bugs, and it is a very diff
cult proposition to coax an individual,
much less a community, to properly
spray and care for its shade trees.
The Norway maple is undoubtedly
the best Of the species for Il condi-
tons. OF the poplars the Carolina is
certainly not worth while: it has too
many troubles. The Lombardy is
merely weird-as we see no beauty in
it. 1t is the spindling straight up and
down thing that is so often seen in
European landscapes, painted or
otherwise. All We have seen in this
country were filed with dead limbs,
were unsymmetrical and scrawny
looking generally.
The Japanese poplar has proved a
wonder Of remarkable rapid growth,
has a beautiful clean bark. grows
very thick, has a beautiful foliage, is
not injured by anything, was in full
leaf this year over two weeks before
any other tree, and its leaves remain
after most other foliage trees are
stripped. Catalpa speciosa makes
quick growth sometimes. 1t comes
out very late, has a leaf like a palm
leaf fan. and is not pleasing in the
winter.
Therefore we most heartily recon-
mend the japanese poplar as the best
of all quick-growing trees.

TO HANDLE FRUIT PROPERLY
Success Of Grower Depends Largely
on Speed, Care and Timeliness OF
Picking and Shipping.

On the speed, care and timeliness
Of fruit picking depends the success
OF the grower The man who piles his
apples in big heaps under the trees
and waits for an opportunity to get
them to market or into the cellar
never makes a shining success as ar
apple grower.
Labor is the big problem when
fruits begin to ripen. Good 'two-hand,
ed" pickers are as hard to get as good
two-handed mixers, says a Michigan
writer in the Farm Progress. | viii
not allow the pickers to use bags in
gathering apples. They bruise enough
apples to make them improbable. Get

For low trees or peach picking 8 a

they must be firm and hard when

Life Insurance Companies
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions.


An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Compan-
les, in an interview on the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
the reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is SO common to the
American people, and the large ma
jority of applicants do not even sus-
pect that they have the disease.
He states that Judging from his own
experience and reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch
with the public, there is one prepare
ton that has probably been more sue
cessful in relieving and curing these
diseases than any remedy known. The
mild and healing influence of DR. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root is soon realized 1t

l had hopes, in view of what seemed
to many. perhaps. a monotonous at
tack on the water works contract by
me, some other crank" would take I'D
the cudgel and delay the present H.
legal and indecent precipitation of the
artificial gas franchise. applied for by
the Richmond Light, Heat and Power
Co. and now under Amusement by the
board of public works, notwithstanding
1t has till April Goth, 1915, before it's
present lease expires.
The legal representative of the
Light, Heat and Power Co, (Mr Beas-
ley) says, a new bid was asked for by
the city. 1t would be interesting to
know who asked for it.
1t would be interesting to know, who
OF our. city government lacks business
discretion to the extent OF asking and
thereby intimating easy acquisition OF
| a new contract.
Be it far from me to suggest, in the
| absence of specific authority to cor
| roborate, that the whole thing looks
like some attempt to slip one over on
the city to someone financial gain.
The cost of manufacturing gas of
standard quality is obtainable by the
city authorities which should be Sc
! cured and specifications prepared and
bids advertised for, and cut out this
| dickering with any and all parties
prior to the necessary steps which are
specifically laid down by the laws OF
the state.
The board of public works would
do we'll to see that they do not dig
the grave of their own Municipal
Light plant.
| Without beating around the bush
the L., H. and p. Co., are charging ex.
cessive rates for gas and the consum
| ers are contributing to a fund that in
all probability is being used to ocver
the loss sustained by the cut-thrOat
competition to supplant the city's Mu
nicipal Light plant.
| would suggest to the board the ad
visibility of getting the best legal ad
vice on article eleven of the Light
Heat and Power Co.'S present fran
chise and be quite sure that in renew
ing the gas franchise you are not auto
matically renewing the franchise to
supply the city with electric current.
| There are many reasons why the
granting of this franchise should be
deferred.
There will be an organized effort
to secure the passage of an enabling
act Immediately upon the assembling
OF the next legislature. Such an act
will place a different aspect on the
city's possibility regarding the munich
palizing of all public utilities.
If you insist however in pushing
this matter through l have abundance
of evidence to show that 800 per M
feet for gas with 10 per cent discount
If paid by the 10th of the month is
dishonesty exorbitant.
I If there must be fight to secure
legality of action by the board of pub
lie works, if there must be fight tt
secure a reasonable rate for gas, il
there must be a fight to get legitimate
information that will lead us to {
square deal to all parties involved
then l say the sooner we clear decks
and get at it, the better.
Let a 7O-cent maximum be the slo
gan.
