THE FOUR-FLUSHING EGG.

Whatever effect the egg agitation
may have on prices it has given US in
formation IN food values which is
worth having. The true character Of
the egg as an article of diet has been
exposed. It is a four-husher
Analysis shows that the consumer,
at present prices, must pay more for
the food value OF eggs than for that
OF twenty other common foods. The
nutritive qualities OF eggs cost more
than those Of cream or cottage cheese,
white, whole wheat or corn bread.
iaatmeal. milk. bacon. pork chops.
Hmb chops. round steak. rice. pota-
toes, parsn!ps, navy beans, apples, ba-
nanas. prunes and raisins.
So we see the egg is not so much.
Ht is a gay deceiver. At forty-five
nents q dozen for eggs twenty cents on
the dozen can be saved by the substi-
tuition OF lamb chops, round steak or
oatmeal or forty cents by using beans.
ard the same amount Of nutrition can
be obtained from six cents worth OF
xice. potatoes, corn or white bread.
Invested in bacon. prunes. bananas
or pork chops fourteen cents will do
the work Of forty-five cents invested in
eggs, and fOrty-five cents worth Of
eggs contains no more sustaining
power than seven cents worth OF
Raisins or whole wheat bread. seven
Aeen cents worth OF cream cheese.
twenty-seven cents worth OF cottage
cheese, sixteen cents worth Of milk or
parsnips or twenty-three cents worth
OF apples.
Then why buy eggs at forty-five
cents a dozen 10 eat? 1t is poor econ
omy. both physical and financial. 1t
is a clean waste Of money. We have
been wasting our breath bowling about
the high cost OF meat and other vari-
cites OF food as compared with eggs
when as a matter OF fact the product
Of the hen house would be compare
lively dear at one-half the present
price.
Sometime the human race may have
the intelligence 20 cease browsing and
choose its food with discrimination.

WHAT'S WRONG

Members OF the Chicago board Of
education who voted 10 retire Mrs. Ella
Flagz Young from the superintendency
OF she Chicago schools must show
good reason for their action or face
the condemnation OF thinking people
nos Saly in Chicago but over the whole
country.
The presumption is against them.
For from all that can be learned.
Mrs. Young has brought progress. eff
cheney and harmony into the Chicago
schools and put them into better
shape than they have ever been before.
Likewise in all her public appearances
Mrs. Young has impressed the nation
as a woman Of sense. ability, sound
judgment and character.
Those school board men not only
subject themselves TO attack for their
attitude IN this matter. but their ac-
ton brings again in review the whole
political-educationa system of the
country.
When a city's schools have good
head, a good system and are working
satisfactorily. how can the people
manage it so that the politicians must
keep their hands of? How can We
assure faithful teachers and school
executives that they can go ahead on
their work undisturbed. that they
shall be free from text book fights and
the vicissitudes OF politics?
Surely the education of our children
IS more important than this.
The board members who voted
against Mrs. Young have put our
whole national school system in a bad
light with the people. If even edu-
Gators OF the calibre of Mrs. Young
can't be left alone 10 do their work,
If the school politicians who want To
make money out of the text book trust
can raise enough agitation To drive her
into retirement, what can we expect
OF our system as a whole?

Warren flung down his paper and

to turn it off.

Sultry Spring Night.
1T was "A close sultry spring night.
People were strOlling through the

The doors Of the small shops were

were notes OF the coming summer.

Police, Commissioner Waldo has

''Oh, it isis it? Well. then. the

Warren, IL seems a pity we can't
take one short walk without quar-

That's exactly what 1 was think

THE THOUGHT AND THE DEED.
You think you'll do a lot Of things
You think of over night,
You'll go right down and tend to them
And attend TO them right
You'll not procrastinate again,
You'll do things when you ought;
In other words youn give your work
little earnest thought.
That is what you think you'u do,
And doubtless you're sincere,
But what YOU think and what you'll do
Are quite diverse, j fear;
No doubt at all you think you will,
But often find you won't,
The difference is just like this:
You think you will, but don't.

THE WATER PROBLEM SOLVED.
The completion of the reservoir at
the Leeper park pumping station Of
the city waterwOTks the first stage of
the reconstruction of the city's water
service plant is accomplished and as
surance is given that the abundant
water supply which underlies South
Bend will be adequately available for
the needs Of the community when the
remaining details of the plan have
been carried out.
The objections urged against the
reservoir system of water supply seem
TO have been fully met in the con-
structiOn Of this receptacle. Il is so
substantially constructed that a break
is practically out of the question and
apparently every precaution has been
taken to make it sanitary. 1T will
store six million gallons and the water.
through constant influx and waste
will be at all times fresh and fit TO
be admitted TO the distributing system
for domestic use.
The principal purpose of the reser-
voir is to insure ample fire protection
at all seasons and under all circum-
stances. The statement that it would
take twenty-five fOur-inch streams
more than ten hours TO exhaust the
contents Of the reservoir is a guar
antee against failure of the water sup
ply during any fire that South Bend
is likely to have. It is also a pru-
Dental measure against any possible
decrease in the water supply from the
wells.
The reservoir is to be supplemented
with additional pumping machinery
and when this has been installed it is
believed South Bends water problem
will be solved for many years TO come
Taken in connection with the superior
quality OF the water itself the city is
in position TO tender congratulations
to itself

WASHINGTON. - Albert Sidney
BurlesOn, postmaster general tries 10
accomplish things either one way or
another. When ne was a member OF
congress he had great knack OF get
ting others 70 do things that he
couldn't do himself. For example he
was extremely anxious TO get a law
passed requiring all advertisements in
newspapers 20 be labeled as such and
TO make the papers tell from time to
time who controls their capital stock
lie wanted this done in order 20 find
out who was back of one or two pa
Ders that were backing the candidacy
Of Woodrow Wilson But ne knew
that the bill would have a much better
chance to pass if it were backed by a
newspaper man. So he rOped in with
Editor Hank Barnhart, member of
congress from Indiana, and helped
him To get all the credit for it.
What were getting at, though is
the time Burleson went hunting down
in Mexico and had no luck He is a
first rate man with a rifle, Burleson is.
but ON this trip things simply did not
break right There were six in the
party and they bagged a deer apiece
all except Burleson. who had none
IL was the night before they were to
start home and Burleson sat about
glOOmily thinking OF the rude jests
people would hand 10 him when he re-
turned from the hunt empty-handed
About then a cowboy came TO their
camp with a small doe thrown across
the back of his saddle.
With a wave of his hand at the i've
deer that had been shot by his COM
paniOns Burleson gaylY proposed to
the cowboy that they play a nice little
game of seVen-up TO pass away the
time, with a deer for stake. The cow
boy, who eNcelled at seVen-up, ne
thought. fOOlishly agreed and in q
short time BurlesOn had mis- doe
Each Of the others coveted Burle-
sons doe, as they though it would be
great fun TO see him going home with
nothing TO show for his hunt. So one
10y one each tried him at game OF
SeVen-up.
And when the party started home
ward the next morning Burleson was
the champion hunter. For he had six
deer to his credit.
The rest had none.
