$50, 900, 900 Eggs
From Lake Erie.

Washington, Dec. 12.-At a time when
the scarcity of eggs is one of the chief
topics of public concern, report comes
from the United States bureau of fish
cries showing that already. this season,
it has taken 100000 white fish eggs
in Lake Erie, by far the largest ever
made. This represents 1900 quarts OF
the tiny eggs.
Although the government Matching
plant at Put-in-B Bay on Lake Erie was
built to take care of only 100,000,000 eggs,
the bureau by farming the eggs out
among its own plants elsewhere is TAX
ing care of this years enormous catch.
The supply of whitefsh had been dimin-
ishing so rapidly in Lake Erie owing to
poor protection, the fish being under four
different states and one Canadian pro-
vince jurisdictions, that preparations
were made, this year, to do as much as
possible to replenish the eupply. In 9th
er Great Lakes also large takes of white
fish eggs are being reported, 1T0,0000@
having been taken to date, this season,
in Lake Michigan Efforts are to be
made also to stock some of the North
western lakes with whitehsh.
All the eggs taken were on their way
to market and would have been lost but
for the arrangements made by the bu-
reau of fisheries with the fishermen to
allow the former to have the eggs.

Varieties Of Potatoes Here

Forests Offer Hope for Better
Future Meat Supply,
450,0G0,000 Fish Eggs Taken from
Lake ErIe..Given to natchesies.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Development
of improved potato varieties in the
United States has not kept up with
the progress made in leading European
countries, said a bulletin just issued
by the Bureau of Plant Industry of
the department of agriculture. In this
country there is great room for breed
ing a potato with a greater starch
content because American varieties
are lower than the German potatoes
by from four to eight per cent.
Climatic conditions, the bulletin
says, are so diversified in this country
that special varieties of potatoes
should be developed that will thrive
in special localities. A heat resisting
strain particularly is advocated to re-
sist the high summer temperatures.
Disease resistance is another quail
ity that should be developed. 1t is
lacking in American potatoes so that
it is necessary to quarantine against
certain foreign types that might in
troduce foreign diseases.
Government, state and private in
spection is advocated to obtain dis
ease free seed in this country.

The Finest Laxative
In 5000 Years
PURE CASTOR OIL, TAsTELEss.
TasteIess in tho True Sense. Not
Favored or Altered. The Smell
and Taste Removed.

For 5000 years castor oil has been the
worlds best laxative, but until now an
offensive, sickening taste has limited
its use.
For 5000 yearsschemists have tried to
remove the taste.
Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is just
what the name means-a pure, clear,
refined oil without any taste. 1t is a
new discovery of Spencer Kellogg &
Sons of Buffalo, large refiners CT vege-
table oils.
Anybody can disguise the taste of
castor oil by mixing it with alcohol,
wintergreen, peppermint or other fla
vors, but it remained for the kelloggs
to keep the oil pure and make it taste
less. Kellogg's Tasteless Castor OIL
works even better than the old evil
dose, without pain or gripping. Children
take it easily.
Sold now In all drug stores. 25c and
soc. Ask for Kellogs Tasteless Castor
Oil and look for the trade mark on
the label-a green castor leaf, bearing
the Kellogg signature. Made only by

Hope for Future
Meat Supply

Washington, Dec. 12-Hope for the fu-
ture meat supply of the country is held
out in the annual report of Henry :.
Graves, chief of the United States for
estry service made public, today Mr.
Graves declares that the national forests
under his supervision furnish abundant
forage supplies, opportunity for the adop-
ton of the best methods and freedom
from livestock diseases.
The forage resources Of the national
forest service, the report continues, con-
tribute to the maintenance of more than
2o0o0 600 head of livestock. The receipts
from grazing. while second to those OF
timbering. last year, were more than ST.
100000 and showed an increase over the
previous year.
Mr.. Graves says that the forest ser
vice, last year, sold more than two bill
lion feet of lumber, valued at 100000
on the stump This. he says, is an in
crease of 167 per cent. over the previous
year.
The total revenue of the service accord
ing to the report was slightly less than
81. 500. ESQ which, however, was an increase
of IA per cent over 1912, The total eN-
penditure for administration and forest
protection was a little more than $500
co.,
A large number Of the national for
ests, Mr.. Graves says, already more than
pay expenses.

Indiana Has More
Money Than ItNeeds.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 12.-Gover-
to his credit in local bank and is
worried about what he can do with
the money. He can't spend it, and as
it would be a hopeless task to try to
give it back to the thousands of per-
sons, who contributed the amount, he
said, today, he probably would ask the
next session of the Legislature to aid
him in finding way to dispose of the
money.
The money is part of the fund con-
tributed for the relief of flood suffer-
ers in Indiana, during the spring
months of this year. The fund orig
inally amounted to s141,0SS and $685.
1874 was not used.
The money was sent to the relief
fund by persons living in all parts of
the United States and when the ques-
ton of returning the unused part was
brought up it was found impossible
for many of the names of the donors
have been lost
The fund draws per cent. interest
and is increasing at the rate of about
$1,000 a year.
Gov. Ralston said the state had no
claim upon the money and that he
would call in some bankers and dis
cuss with them the question of its dis
posal. If no action is decided upon
the executive will ask the 1915 Leg
islature to take charge of the money.

Berlin, Dec. 12.-It was decided, to-
day, by some deputies to attempt the
withdrawal of the bill for the appro-
priation of $4,000 for the purpose of
arranging German representation at
the Panama Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco.
This step was taken owing to the
strong objections raised by several
state ministers.
When the bill came up for further
discussion in the Imperial Parliament,
today, Ernst Bassermann read the re-
port of the committee, in which We're
recapitulated the arguments of the
ministerial representatives against
participation in the exposition.
The report referred also to conf
dental statements made to the COM
mittee which are understood to have
REFEREED TO an. agreement between
Germany and Great Britain to stand
together in the matter.
DR.. Theodore Lewald of the minis
try of the interior, who was German
commissioner at the st. Louis Expo
sition, then rose and reiterated the Of
neal ODJSCtlonS " PAL liClptlloi, say
ing the German government could not
afford the $1,25000 which would be in
dispensable for proper representation,
nor could worthy exhibit be assem-
bled and sent to San Francisco in the
period of only IA months before the
opening of the exhibition. The money
spent on an exhibit which would not
enhance the prestige of Germany in
America, had better be thrown into
the Pacific ocean, he concluded.
The Speaker of the Parliament
johannes Kaempff, then announced
that the appropriation bill had been
dropped, but this was later shown to
be an error.

been withdrawn. Later, however, 1t
