Uses for EGGS.

We know that eggs are almost in
dispensable for cooking but they
are just as valuable for other things
as well. A mustard plaster made
with the white of eggs will not bis
ter the tenderest skin. The fragil
white skin that lines the shell of an
egg is fine application for boil.
The white of egg beaten with loaf
sugar and lemon juice relieves a
cough and hOarseness. A teaspoon
full every hour is the dose. If a
fish-bone lodges in the throat be-
yond the reach of the fingers, a raw
egg swallowed with out being
beaten) will in most instances carry
the bone along. A good remedy
for stomach and bowel trouble is a
raw egg taken every six hours. The
egg should be partly beaten, though
not to froth. A little white of egg
spread over-a scald or burn will
prevent the air from getting to it
and hasten the healing For pre-
serving jelly in glasses, paper should
be cut to fit at the top and smear
ed with the raw white of eggs, the
egg side down, A little white of
egg curdled with a bit of powdered

Standard Oil company twenty-nine
million dollars for the violation of
the law, will be denounced by his
judicial brethren of the federal
bench as an eccentric creature and
a good advertiser.
But to the masses it will occur
that if there had been more federal
judges fond of the same sort of
lime light, there would be fewer
citizens bent on securing laws for
the recall of judges, He is cogni-
zant of that fact himself, a healthy
state of mind to be in, and shows it
when he says:
Indecent invasion of the domain
of the state courts by the federal
courts has, put a club into the hand
of the people who are assailing the
judiciary of the country"
Judge Lands is right. If there
were no such complaints possible
against the@courts the socialist
movement.W would peter out.

Are dull and dark, and gray?
Detected, long faced just because
The rain beats down today?
Why, bless you child 1t doesn't
helpl
To let the tears drip, too.
Just wipe your eyes and look around
For some good work to do.
There's nothing helps when you are
blue
Like helping set things right.
Kind service fills the darkest day
With sweetness and with light,
And when you are feeling out of
sorts
The very wisest plan
Is to find out what others want
And help them all you can.
SO look around and study up
Some helpful thing to do;
You'll find that cheering others
lives
Will brighten life for you.
Look up the real unfortunates.
And ease their aches and pains
And while you feel you're doing
good
You'll never know it rainsl
