some Hints FOR
GOOD ONIONISTS
Manner in Which Succulent
Morsel May Be Eaten
Artistically.
TOLD BY AN ENGLISHMAN
This Dogma, However, Is Only for
Use of Elect Not Hoi
PoIloi.

All the world eats onions, but how
few onion eaters eat with decorum and
in the proper environment How few
can say that they have never abused
the onion. AS an onionist of principle
and an earnest ritualist. says Basil Mac
donald in the London News and Leader,
1 pen these lines of gentle appeal to my
fellow-beings.
Eating is an art. Every artistic pro-
duct wears the clothes, speaks with the
accent, smells of the smell of the en-
vironment of the artist. Useless quite
to paint Madonnas in a boudoir Mad
to essay poetry in a bower, pitiable,
very, to attempt onion-eating in a din
ing-room.
Not that one may not dine COM
fortably in such a place. But dining
rooms insist on joints, fish, entrees,
sweets (the food of hysteria), and ice
cold clarets. They shudder at onions.
The bronze horses on the mantelpiece
rear at the dish, the steel engravings
glitter fiercely. the pile carpet wrinkles
distractedly. The wedding presents on
the sideboard roll their tongues and go
black. Then where shall we eat our
onions?
Once upon a time the writer essayed to
tell where, when, and how to eat bread
and butter. This was the task of a
child. He wrote boldly. confidently, with
a vast assurance Now picture him
shivering, his hair torn eastward and
westward, his white hands throbbing
and knotting with the surge of timorous
blood. His clothes fretfully scar him,
his square shineless boots glover into
his lash-locked eyes, his sock suspend
ers disgustedly slither from his shrunken
calves. He coughs, wipes his damp fore
head, and strikes many matches ere his
pipe is lit. He approaches his god with
the fearful homage of the devotee; he

was unanimously passed. 1t calls up
on the mayor and the city council
to authorize the purchase of the

it as municipal enterprise.
Mr.. Stroud challenged the Chicago

most capable man to debate him on
the subject, "The Chicago Telephone
Company Is Not Living Up to Its OPP

though he were reading from paid |
advertisement of the telephone COM
pany. He spoke of the wonderful in
in Chicago, of the beautiful service
and such other ancient stuff that |
continually scream from the adver
tisements in the trust papers.
Only once did he refer to Stroud |
and that was through some back
hand remark about the Telephone.
Users Association, meant for deep |
sarcasm. He also took issue with a
statement made recently by Stroud
that the Chicago Telephone Company |
owned much watered stock.
Stroud answered by saying that
the American Telephone & Telegraph |
Company owned the local company |
and that parent trust was knowing
ly waterlogged.
Bone beat a haSty retreat after |
finishing his talk, despite Stroud's
anxiety to debate the subject with
him. When Bone had fled, Stroud
was again invited to- speak and he
urged the necessity of the women of
Chicago supporting the work of the /
Telephone Users Association in its
effort to procure real telephone serv-
ice for Chicago.
When Stroud was talking about
the poor service on the Bell phone,
he was interrupted by lady, who
reminded him that only the day be-
fore while they were talking over a
Bell telephone, they were suddenly
disconnected and laundry switched
on her line. -
The attitude of the trust press in
ignoring this growing sentiment
against the giant telephone corpora
ton was the subject of several con-
versations during the meeting.
Stroud referred to it in his speech,
predicting that only The Day Book
would report the meeting.

SPEAKING OF EGGS.

While the prevailing prices pre- vent many folks from eating as many eggs as they would like, there l is, as yet, no law against talking about them. The egg prices are ab- normally high and dealers and con- sumers alike are trying to ascertain the cause. The following from the New York Journal of Commerce throws some light upon the distri- button of the money involved in get ting the egg from the producer to the consumer:
 "A syndicate of Manhattan cold storage specuIators has sold to wholesale grocery house here 140,- OO0 cases of cold storage eggs at 9 net profit of S75,O00. Since the grO- cer made the purchase several days ago, his eggs have gone up enough to guarantee him a net profit of $lSO,O0O at the latest market quo tatiou. The eggs originally cost the speculator Is cents a dozen. The psecultion dealt with only one weeks normal consumption of eggs in New York City"
 Here is a net profit of S255, 1000 on the egg supply of New York city for one week, above tn original pro fit of the mtddlemen who handled the eggs between the producers and the cold storage concerns. Fancy select eggs are selling at retail in New York city at S5 cents a dog en. although the wholesale price in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the Middle West is about 40 cents. Somebody between the producer and the con- sumer is getting too wide a margin of profit for his services and the consumer. as usual, pays the bill.
 Attorney General McReynolds an uounces that the government is de termiued that the beef combine shall not mouopoIize the reGrigerating ser vice between foreign beef shipping points and the United States. With ship cold storage not mouOpOlized the Government believes imported meats ought to be much cheaper. IC uncontrolled ship refrigeration is good, why not uncontrolled rerrig- eration on land. If it is unjust for the beef trust to mOnopolize cold storage at sea, why is it not also unjust for butter and egg specula- lators to monopolize cold storage on land and use refrigerating sys- tems as instruments to eXtort eX- orbitant prices from the consumer?

HUMBLE "BIDDY" BEST
IN THE END, MORE PROFITABLE
THAN THE OSTRICH.
Figures Would Seem TO Show That
Bird of prized Plumase Is Prime
Investment, but There Are
Drawbacks.

No. she is not one Of the $4,000
biddies we sometimes read about, espe-
cially when IL comes to laying eggs.
She is any one of the several thou
sand ostrich hens that may now be
found In some of our western states.
You can figure 1t out for yourself. An
ostrich hen, q good" one. will lay
about 100 eggs a year, and each egg
contains as much food-material as 80
ordinary hens eggs. That gives the
ostrich credit for furnishing egg-food
amounting to 5000 hens eggs per
year.
But let's not all go into the ostrich
business. There are several draw
backs. One of them is that 1t costs
twenty dollars year TO keep an
ostrich, or Whereabouts. and they do
not begin TO lay until they are four
years old. Then there is the first cost
no little item. as sixmonthsoid
chicks are worth 800 each, while
birds old enough to begin laying cost
$500 a pair Rather, they are held TO
be worth that, as the ostrich breeders
will seldom sell bird at any price.
There is also the Inconvenience OF
handling The kick of an ostrich VIII
discount any exercise of a mules hind
legs about 100 per cent, and they are
said to be far from sweet-tempered'
especially during the plucking season.
Reing eight feet tall, an ostrich that
got really out Of patience at person
would be rather more difficult 10
handle than a mad sitting hen, ana
most Of us find the latter lady all we
want to tackle On the whole, per
haps we would be wiser to stick to the
BARNARD biddy for ordinary purposes,
though the beauty Of the aristocratic
Mr.. Ostrich should prove great temp
t..tion to desert our first love.
Then. too. the Lady Of the Plumes
Is. II the truth were told, rather lazy
She does not even lay her eggs in
the nest her mate has carefully pre-
pared for her half the time. She
leaves them scattered about just as II
happens, and her patient consort has
to roll them into the nest himself

Hens as Barometers.

A poultry raiser in Bohemia has pro-
duced curious results by altering and
alternating the food given to his
focks.
1t Is known TO many who have
raised canaries for the market that
Cayenne pepper put into their food
results In a notable difference In the
character and shade of their plumage,
giving the feathers smoothness and
reddish tinge which adds very much
to the sum for which the birds may
ordinarily be sold II the same in
gredient be added to the diet, especial
" of white hens which have been
Matched from carefully selected eggs,
their feathers become pale rose, and
they flush TO brilliant red when the
weather is damp and storm is APP

veritable barometers. and the progress
sion of color from pale to brilliant Is
so exact that a scarlet hen stalking
about the barnvard is regarded as GER
