BOILING AN EGG.
II II Gives You Trouble You Might
Try John Randolpi's Way.

Try John Randolph's Way.
The boiling Of an egg seems simple
matter, but many breakfast has been
spoiled and many temper ragped by
the cooks failing to observe the pre-
else lumber Of minutes the process
should occupy.
That very original man, John Ran.
dolph, is said to have invented a meth.
cd OF getting his eggs cooked exactly
to bis taste that worked perfectly. As
Is the case In many country homes In
the south, the kitchen was In sep.
arate building at some distance from
the house, and servants were plenty.
When the sage of Roanoke" took
his seat ut the breakfast table there
was line of servants from the dining
room to the kitchen. Mrs. Randolph,
the mother of the statesman. held an
open watch In her hand.
"Inr' exclaimed Mr.. Randolph, ano
the word "in' was passed from mouth
to mouth until 1t reached the waiting
cook, who dropped the eggs into the
water. After the requisite number of
seconds the holder of the timepiece
signified that the cooking was done
"Out" went forth the command in
like manner, and the eggs were quick
ly removed.
The system required six or seven
servants to cook one egg, but Randolph
was accustomed to declare that this
was the only way that he could get it
cooked to suit him. Youths Compan.

A Slump In Kisses.

A Frenchman who apparently has q
good deal of time ON bis hands has
been amusing himself by reckoning ur
the number of kisses he has given his
wife during the first twenty years OF
his married life. He finds that In the
first year he dispensed about hundred
kisses day, or, say, allowing for birth
days and holidays, about 36,700 in the
year. In the second year this number
was reduced by half and In the third
year to ten a day, while In the fifth
year his better half had to be content
with two day, one in the morning
and one in the evening. What hap.
pened after the fifth year is wrapped
in mystery" but at the same rate OF
progression" he probably arrived
eventually ut one kiss on the 1st OF
January every leap year.
The Danger of Lying In Bed.
Lack of muscular exercise Is the first
result of lying In bed. As result the
appetite is weakened, the digestive ac-
tion slows down and the muscles Of the
stomach and abdomen cease to act
upon the intestinal mass, When the
body is in recumbent position the
heart works with the least expenditure
Of effort and the least fatigue and the
circulation and the functional activity
are decreased. But unless the subject
Is exceptionally vigorous all the bene-
fits are counterbalanced by dangers. In
bed the subject is shut away from
fresh air and sunlight. The result Of
that deprivation Is condition similar
to anemia. But the supreme menace
to the weak or the aged confined to bed
is the clogging of the pulmonary circr-
lation, an action which frequently re-
suits in passive congestion of both sides
of the lungs. For this reason the sim.
pie fracture of bone may be the
cause of death, because when the pa
tient lies In bed there Is no movement
Of the muscles to act as an incentive to
deep breathing Harper's.

DEFENDS WILSON
AGAINST ATTACK
Speaker Clark Amazed at
Senator Cummins' Criticism
of the President.

Speaker Clark defended President Will
son today against the attack of Senator
Cummins, who is reported as having said
that the President committed treason
when he framed his tariff policy and in
fluenced Congress to stand by the admin
istration leaders in passing the bill.
Said the Speaker:
Technology has not yet reached such
perfection as to be an exact science. but
it is closely approximating 1t; therefore.
a plain, matter-of-fact citizen is surprised
even anazed-to discover man of the
official standing of United States Senator
A. B. Cummins of Iowa accusing Presi-
dent Wilson of treason on account of his
endeavor to bring democrats into line on
the tariff question. That certainly is a
most serious accusation, and what is
more, it is not true. However much Sen
ator Curnmins may condemn the Presi-
dent, treason is not the right word to
describe the Presidents performance.
Definition of "Treason.'
The Constitution thus defines treason:
Treason against the United States shall
consist only in Ievying war against them
or in adhering to their enemies, giving
them aid and comfort. Whatever the
President said or did touching the tariff
bill. such cannot be construed as falling
under that definition. It's queer that so
distinguished a lawyer as Senator Cum
minis should have been led into making
such an astounding accusation.
There was much hard work but no
mystery about the making of the tariff
bill. In the first place 1t was shaped up
In the committee on ways and means and
submitted to the democratic caucus, AS a
tentative measure; second it was amend
ed in caucus and debated for over two
weeks-amendment and speech both being
absolutely free.
Amended and Debated.
1T was amended and debated in the
House for something over two weeks.
amendment and debate again being abso-
lutely free, except of course. the length
of speeches was limited by the rules of
the House. All Of us. from the President
down. made suggestions as to particular
items. Chairman Underwood and myself
and the members of the committee and
other members put in good deal of
time and labor reconcling members
who objected to particular items here
and there, and we put in time
and labor trying to change rates on par
ticular items where we thought injustice
was being done. We were trying to- hold
our members together on a tariff bill
containing over 1900 items and to redeem
the tariff promises of the Baltimore plat
form.
Same Privilege to President.
Now. if the rest of US did those things
what hindered the President from doing
the same things? And, how can the MAX
ing of suggestions by him be construed
into treason? Senator Cummins' charge
of treason is preposterous
1.-THE President did his part: the House
did its part; the Senate did it's part; we
all stood together and worked together;
we made the best tariff bill in half
century-hence these tears"
