EGGS FOUR YEARS OLD
Eaten by Board of Health and Pro-
nOunCed All Right.

Trenton. n. j., July 3a.-The frozen eggs
seized by federal inspectors three years
ago as unfit for food ana which have been
released for sale by the state board of
health. Members of the board, after hear
ing an expert testify that the eggs. al
though now nearly four years old, were
still fit for food, a week ago performed
the official task of eating food made from
the eggs. They We're taken to the state
laboratory, where custard pie, cakes and
ice cream We're prepared. They gave the
product a clean bill of health.
Under the decision the firm that owns
the eggs is required to label the product
so that purchasers may know how long
il has been in storage.

THE CITY BUDGET.
Continued from PAGE One

one-in the city tax rate for the en-
suing year is believed to be likely.
The figures given above in three de-
partments show the tentative figures
available this morning. Commissioner
w. L. Porter of the parks and SANTA
ton department believes he will be
and dollars, but the figures shown do
not include the proposed comfort sta
ton on Kansas avenue which Porter
is anxious to build.
IF 1 can't trim enough to bring my
estimate lower than that of last year
and include the comfort station shall
leave it out" Porter said this morn
ing eff it is left out L shall try to
save enough out of the budget allow
ance to build it / am anxious to see
the station built. and am going to do
my best, but 1 shall not increase the
budget of this department to provide
for it,
The big increase in the total comes
in the mayors budget where the
necessity for additional fire equipment
and new station in North Topeka are
responsible for the increase. The fig
ureS have not been completed, but it
is estimated that the new station will
cost about 100000. a temporary
building in which the North side de-
partment can be housed while the new
building is being erected will cost in
the neigh borhood of $4,000. New fire
equipment planned, including a motor
truck for the aerial at the Central sta
ton, will cost about $4,000, making
total increase in the matter of equip
ment and buildings alone of about
$4,000 in the fire department. Chief
George o. Wilmarth is working hard
on his estimates and expects to COM
plete them late today or tomorrow
morning. The budget must be filed
tomorrow.
Small increases in the budget for
the police department is expected also,
bringing up and further boosting the
mayors budget. So despite the fact
that cuts in other departments are be-
ing made, although some of them are
com paratively small, the total is eX-
pected TO exceed considerably the al
loWance last year.
Items covered by special levies in
Guiding interest and sinking funds,
will remain much the same as last
year, there being a chance that the
interest levy will be smaller, but not
to amount to anything.
The figures in further detail, show
ing some of the places where increases
may be expected, are as follows, as
near as could be compiled today:

As will be seen the big saving in the
tentative budget of Commissioner Por-
teF is in the crematory department. 1t
is wen to remember in this connection
that all the revenue derived from the
department goes into the general reVe-
nue. fund of the city. and is not turned
back into the crematory fund. The
budget, therefore, calls for what is
necessary to maintain the department
for the year, and is a dead loss as far
as Porter is concerned, the city as a
whole receiving the benefit of the
money collected. The cut in the esti-
mate for the crematory is from $12,-
600 to $4,000, saving of = per cent
1t is estimated that about $4,000
more will be raised this year under the
same levy was raised last year. But
unless further cuts are made in Some-
bCdy'S estimate there still will be a
matter of from $4,000 to SIS, 900 not
provided for unless the levy is in
creased. The chances seem to be bet
ter that the levy will be slightly in
creased rather than that it will be di-
unfinished in the least.

MANY women's lives are a perfect
burden to them because they are
troubled With super1uous growth Of
hair on their faces and arms.
Of course everybody has more or less
hair on her face, but If it is fiLe and
fair it shows very little.
Even q slight dark growth on the up
per lip is not ~disiguring if people
would only believe and leave well
enough alone, but unfortunately a girl
often gets terrified at the first sign OF
hair, and. thinking she is developing a
regular beard and mustache. she flies
to some remedy or other.
For a time the skin is clear, and then
a stronger. much coarser growth OF
hair appears, SO matters SO from bad
to worse.
People cannot be too strongly ad-
vised not to do anything to super1u-
GUS hair unless it is really disflgurins,
Coarse, dark hairs IA be removed BY
electricity, but it must be s~killfully
performed by a person who knows his
business, because the needle must 60
right to the root Of the hair and kill it.
and if this is not carefully done the
face is SCARED and the hair grows
again.
