AS a result c. p. Landey Desmond's

Landy appeared at the undertaking
parlors and after notifying him that
his father-in-law was dead, ordered
him to go to the house at once and
prepare the body for burial. lnoi-
dentally he borrowed 20 cents for car
fare.
When the undertaken arrived at the

sitting on the porch.

FOOD VALUE OF MANY EGGS
Though Nearly Half Water, Their
Contents Are Extremely Nutritious
Companion With Meat.

Many persons often ask what an
egg is made Of. but strange to say
few ever find out to their entire salts
faction. A test at the department OF
agriculture shows that the white OF an
egg is nearly seven-eighths water. the
balance being nearly pure albumen.
The yolk is slightly less than one-half
water. This is true of the eggs OF
chickens. turkeys, ducks and geese. In
comparing the eggs of these various
birds the department Of agriculture
quotes the following figures:
Hen eggs, so per cent. water. 10
per cent protein, 80 per cent. fat.
Goose eggs, A per cent. water, 10
per cent. protein, SO per cent fat.
Duck eggs, 46 per cent water, II
per cent protein, SO per cent. fat.
Turkey eggs, as per cent. water, Is
per cent protein, 80 per cent fat
OF course, farmers understand that
protein goes to make muscle and
blood, while fat is fuel for running the
machinery Of the body. Thus 1t will
be seen that eggs, though half or near
ly half water, are extremely nutritious
containing all the elements required
for the building and support of the
body. There is no truth, however, in
the old saying that an egg contains
as much nutriment as a pound OF
steak. It would be nearer correct &c
estimate a pound Of eggs as being
equal to a pound OF lean steak in nu
tritious value.

1t was also rumored that an effort

This, too, Mr.. Allen stated, would have
no influence on the boards action He
