A Universal Mind.


SO wonderful were the powers
or mind anciently known to such
profound wise men of the East
as Badarayana, Vedanta founder.
and kaplia, founder of Sampkhya,
that even these men thought they
We're unable of themselves to do
these remarkable mental feats.
They saw, as they discovered
these powers, hitherto apparently
latent in some obscure mind re-
gion, that the human mind is In
deed elaborate and complex be
yond comparison.
In fact, these men Of mighty
minds, now only equaled by rev
elers in the sublime heights OF
calculus, but in an entirely diff
ferent way, really believed thai
they were helped by some vas
external mind. They thought 1t to
be impossible of themselves to
send mind messages to great dis.
tances and receive from their
friends at a distance. Then they
advanced the theory that there
is cosmic mind. And that this
universal mind aids man.
Thus an ancient Hindu, when he
succeeded In taking away the ef
feet of gravity and left a heavy
object suspended in the air, al
times thought that his mind did
not cause the cessation of gravi
tation; but that cosmic mind
really caused the humiliation Of
attraction.
And when paralytics we're cured
they thought that some externa
power wrought the change.
In the Buried Temples.
Everything known on these al
Turing subjects was known In the
temples from Ellora and Elephan-
tina, In remote India, westward
in the sacred temples and Adytl
of all Mesopotamia, and especiali>
in the buried temples now under
the alluvium OF the Tigris ana
Euphrates In eastern Arabia; IL
the holy places of Jerusalem
Thebes. Memphis, Diana, Artemis
Minerva and within the corridor
of the mighty labyrinths O.
Arsinoe, Lemnos and Crete, These
hierophants, so 1t now seems u
us, appeared to be aware OF ths
existence of coslnic mind. Ano
writers in the West" are just Dc
ginning to hear of the two n1yS'
tic words. -..-----.-----

COSmiC Consciousness
BY EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

II OUR requests in one day
that / write note on this
fascinating subject Is the
cause of this writing. This term
has been appearing in many
books, pamphlets and magazine
articles during, say. ten, years.
It was kind of revival. this re-
appearance. And my letters, re-
ceived from many remote parts
of the world, also began to con-
tain the two mystic words.

MILK REGULATIONS
MUST BE OBSERVED
District Health Officer Says Product
Should Come from Registered
and Certified Cows.

Along certain Maryland highways
Washington people out for a motor trip
or a jaunt in the country have noticed
Advertisements of a local commission
firm, calling for milk and intimating that
the milk does not need to be OF the
quality prescribed by the Washington
Health Department. For instance, these
advertisements state that the milk does
not need TO be from registered cows,
whereas DR.. William c. Woodward,
Health Officer of the District. IS par
ticular in his enforcement OF the regula-
tions that all milk being brought into
Washington for sale shall be from reg
istered cows, certified free from tuber-
culosis.
The case OF this firm came 10 the at
tention of the Health Office some time
ago. and was referred by Dr. Woodward
to Corporation Counsel for action. The
case is still under consideration in the
Corporation Counsers office.
The firm advertising for indisCriminate
qualities OF milk defends its action on
the ground that this milk Is all used
in the manufacture OF butter. II further
claims to pasteurize the milk. In the
opinion of the Health Officer. these guar
antees are not sufficient protection TO the
public health.
DIR. Woodward believes that no good
ground can exist for the evasion of the
health regulations whereby the duty OF
guarding the people from avoidable dis
eases shall be undertaken at the pleas
ure of an Individual. firm, or person. In
his opinion the strict enforcement OF
the regulations of his department offers
a more certain guarantee OF protection
than pasteurization done at the pleasure
of some milk or butter vending concern.

VEAL DEMAND CAUSES
HIGH Price OF BEEF
Slaushter of Calves Blamed for In
creased Food Cost-Legisla-
tion to Be Asked.
HIDES ALSO ARE S0ARING G

As a solution of the problem of the
continuous soaring of the prices Tor
meats and hides, members Of the Cham
ber of Commerce are considering the
advisability of requesting introduction OF
a bill in Congress TO regulate the ages
at which cattle may be slaughtered
Increase in the cost of meats mas
been alarmingly rapid. Prices Of hides
are going up by leaps. According 10
statements made to P. T. Moran, of the
Chamber of Commerce, by a manufac-
turer of shoes, IL prices for hides con-
tinue much longer to advance at the
same pace. a pair OF shoes now costing
81 soon will command a price OF $3.50.
The cause of these high meat and hide
prices is the enormous consumption OF
veal. according to statistics which have
been gathered by a committee OF the
chamber. appointed for this special in
Veal brings such good
profits that cattle raisers find II more
profitable to kill their stock young than
to mature them TO supply the demand
for beef. That this enormous demand
for veal is cutting down breeding stock
with startling rapidity, is the opinion In
spired by the statistics gathered by the
committee.
As results OF this demand for veal.
prices for beef are quickly approaching
a limit where the average citizen must
become a vegetarian and to find some
cheaper material for shoes than leather
Members of the chamber believe rem
ediaI legislation should be sought. Ac-
cording to one plan, a bill prohibiting
the slaughter of male cattle under three
years and female cattle under six years
should be written on the statute books.

Big Family Administration

Presidents Choice for Public Printer Would Make
Strong Race for Honors in Gopernment's
Staff of Opponents of Race Suicide

Another large family is added to the
administration circle by the nomination
of Cornelius ]. Ford. Of New Jersey, to
be Public Printer, it being taken for
granted that the nomination will be con-
firmed by the Senate
Mr.. Ford will bring eight children to
the Capital.
But Mr.. Ford and his eight children
will not get first money in the Anti-Race
Suicide Club, for there Is Secretary of
Labor Wilson with his nine still topping
the list.
Looking over the list Of the Presidents
appointments, 1t is seen that there are
several sizable families.
There is the Secretary of the Treasury,
McAdoo, with six; Secretary Tumulty
with another round half dozen. and the
Secretary Of the Navy, Daniels, with four
sons.
Only One bachelor.
President Wilson has three daughters,
and Secretary Bryan has three children,
two daughters and a son, to say nothing
of the grandson who is now member
of the official family. The Secretary OF
the Interior has two. and Secretary Of
Commerce Redfeld has another pair. At
torney General McReynolds Is the bach
elor Of the Cabinet, and. therefore does
not know the joys of casting judicial
dignity aside to trot a youngster on his
knee. Secretary of War Garrison Is the
one married member OF the Cabinet who
has no children.

PLEA FOR COLoRED MAN.
Plead. for Uplift q
Their Race.

Ministers attending the thirty-ninth an
nual session of the New England Col
ored Baptist Convention. which comes to
an end at Cosmopolitan Baptist Church
tonight, made pleas in local colored
churches today for moral and religious
uplift of the negro.
Rev. ]. H. Wiley, of Providence, R. l..
urged that the ministers make every eff
fort for the religious uplift of the many
colored men and women who are hocking
to the North. A number of the delegates
made a pilgrimage to the home of the
late Senator John B. Henderson. author
of the thirteenth amendment. 1t is prob
able that the convention will indorse a
movement for the erection of a suitable
memorial to the man who had written
into the organic law of the nation an
amendment abolishing negro slavery.
The delegates will be received at the
White House by President Wilson this
afternoon at 2:SO o'clock. A reception
will wind up the convention tonight
Former Senator H. W. Blair and Con-

Convict 1857 leaves the Federal prison
at Leavenworth today as Sir Edward
Grey, heir to an English baronetcy, and
as a baseIy maligned character. This is
according to Sir Edwards own statement

one-fourth of his three-year term off
for good behavior. He states that he will
start for Washington today to confer
with the Attorney General. when he will
go to New York and take the first boat
for Vera Cruz.
Grey was arrested in the lobby of the
victed of fraud and false pretense. At
the time of his arrest he claimed he was
a nephew of Frederick Grey. then ac-
countant general of Mexico. Later he
said he was heir to an English peerage

EGG SHIPMENTS
CAUSE inquiry
Agricultural Departm ent
Seeks to Improve Method
Of Packing.
ENTAILS ENORMOUS LOSS
Waste from Breakage Leads Railroads
to Declare Carrying Is
Improbable.
ENTAILS ENORMOUS LOSS

To reduce the enormous breakage OF
eggs in transit, which yearly causes q
loss of millions of dollars to producers
and raises the price of eggs for con.
sumers. the Department of Agriculture,
through its Bureau. of Chemistry, Is
conducting extensive experiments to de-
termine the safest manner OF packing
eggs for long and short shipment by
rail.
The waste from the breakage Of eggs,
according to Year Book Reprint $50, The
Effect of Present Methods of Handling
Eggs on the Industry and Product" in
New York City alone in 1909 was more
than I57,S04, 76S eggs. or more than H.
10000 dozen, out of a total consump-
ton in 1909 of l27 SIS. 600 dozens of eggs.
In other words, about per cent of all
eggs received in New York were cracked,
and OF these a large number were unfit
for food use.
Long distance Shipments.
The egg supply of large cities. and
particularly New York, has to come
from a long distance. because, accord
ing 10 the thirteenth census, the Middle
Atlantic States in 1903 sold only about
ll0.0O0,Oo0 dozen eggs, or not enough to
supply New York alone if every egg
had been sent TO that point For the
districts practically are the sole source
of supply. because the hen does not have
TO scratch so hard for a living in the
cornfield as she does where grain is
scarce. Increasing consumption of eggs
adds TO the distance from which eggs
must come. and makes the safe ship
ment of this valuable food product more
and more essential.
The Bureau of Chemistry, through the
Food Research Laboratory. is now en-
gagged in shipping eggs handled in diff
ferent ways on long journeys to different
points in the United States, and carefully
is noting their condition on receipt at
their destination. Shippers, railroad men,
and commission men are cooperating
heartily with the investigators of the
government, through their joint confer
ence committee composed of representa-
tives from the National Butter. Egg, and
Poultry Association, the Traffic Man.
ayers Association, of Chicago. and the
United States Department of Agriculture.
Railroads Make Complaint.
The situation is growing very acute. be-
cause the railroads are claiming that
their damage losses are such as to make
the carrying Of eggs an Improbable
commercial proposition. The shippers and
consignees have large sums of money
tied up in claims and litigation with the
roads If the Department of Agriculture
succeeds, as it hopes TO do. in devising
a successful method of shipping eggs. it
will contribute Importantly to the poultry
industry, in which the hen produces food
worth S5OO,OoOcO0 annually.

MERCHANTS PROPOSE
TO HANDLE FREIGHT
Uhfavorable Action by Interstate Com
merce Commission Would Lead
to New Advancement.

Most of the Washington merchants
plan to haul their own freight in case
the decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the question of the right
of the railroad companies to discontinue
free deliveries of freight is made in favor
OF the railroads. A decision is expected
June ., when an order suspending the
proposed discontinuance expires.
P. T. Moran, chairman OF the Chamber
of Commerce committee on transporta-
ton, who has had the matter of dis
continuance of free freight deliveries in
hand for the merchants, said yesterday
that the merchants expect the commits
sion to render a decision favorable to
the merchants. He said that, provided
the right of the railroads TO discontinue
free deliveries Of freight is recognized by
the commission. most of the local mer-
chants will haul their own freight as a
solution.
Mr.. Moran said that were the practice of
free delivery OF freight done away with

timore, or the railroads would make
themselves guilty of discriminating

as thoroughly as they learned the rules
