things, to add 100000 men to the mil

1T is absurd to attribute aggres-
sive motives to the kaiser and the gov

five years of peaceful reign, record
unmatched by any other living Euro

is fact that the agitation for in
creased armament came first from the
German people and did not originate
with the kaiser. 1t grew out of the
Balkan war and the possibility of Sla-
yonic encroachment. The inability of
check the Balkan struggle opened the
eyes of the German people. Grmany

possibility of an enlarged Slav mon

The first principle of moral training in connection with first aid is to obey the aT-fmportant injunction to keep cool and collected. Do not get excited and lose your head, particularly at the sight of blood Think quickly what is to be done, and do it promptly.
 The patient should first be remov- ed to quiet, airy place where the temperature is moderate. The injured person should be given plenty of fresh air.
 In all cases of accident a crowd is apt to gather. By all means keep this curious crowd at a distance. If pos sible get the injured party into quiet wel1-ventilated room, where you can apply proper treatment, and avoid being handicapped or interfered with by the bystanders.
 Arrange the injured persons body in a comfortable position, preferably on the back with the limbs straight ened out in their natural position. In- juries to the head may require that the head be raised higher than the level of the body. Unless the head be injured, have it on level with the body If breat thing is difficult, sit ting position is best. Loosen the col lar waist band and belt. If the pa tient is faint let his head be rather lower than the feet. If the leg or arm is injured, raise it slightly and lay it upon a cushion or pillow. If vomiting occurs, turn the patients body on one side with the head low, so that the matter vomited may not go into the lungs.
 If a wound is discovered in a part covered by the clothing, cut the cloth

 hadn't the intellect then to feel fear, I drank from its microbes with ex- quisite pleasure, I enjoyed 1t as much as I now enjoy

MUSHROOM FALbACIEs.

Now that the Fourth of July with it's dangers has passed, we prepare for the usual epidemic" of mush- room poisoning, which seems to be an inevitable accompaniment of the sum- mer season. There is a, popular ten dency to restrict the name toad stool' is poisonous or not, the distinc- of "mushroom'' to the edible ones; but since one cannot tell, except by stoF' is poisonous or not, the distinc- tion, according to The Journal of the American Medical Association, is neither satisfactory nor advantageous.
 Many reputed tests to distinguish the innocent from the harmful toad stool are current and are implicitly believed in by some. It cannot be too emphaticaly stated therefore, that so far as is known there is no single guide with the possible exception of a chemical analysis, which will give re- suits of any value whatever. Any scheme for distinguishing edibility in these fungi should be decisive and give uniform results. Some of the alleged tests deserve mention in order to point out their unreliability and their danger Among them the so- called ''silver-test'' is most prevalent. It is believed that a silver spoon or coin placed with toadstools while cooking will demonstrate by b1acken- ing or failure to blacken, whether or not the fungi are safe to eat. It

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Wood ashes are splendid for flower pot stains from the window sills.
 To clean willow furniture, apply salt and water with brush and rub thoroughly until dry.
 Grease the bottom of granite or tin pots before placing over the fire and black will wash off easily.
 It is a good plan to keep a piece of sandpaper above the sink; it is very good to clean pots and pans with.
 Apply kerosene literally to any copper vessel which has become dis colored; then wash with hot water and soap.
 When washing windows, try putting a little turpentine in the water. It will do wonders in frightening the glass.
 The right way to peel onions: Begin at the root of the onion, peeling upward and the juices will not fly into the eyes.
 If you get ink on your fingers, wet the head of a match and rub it on the ink spots. It is much quicker than to let it wear off.
 When you buy new ttnware, rub it well with lard and heat it thoroughly in the oven Tinware treated thus will never rust:
 windowsthat stick can be made to move very freely by rubbing the sides of thejambs, where the window slides with soap or paramne.
 When the feet or stockings are worn out cut them off and slit the legs clear down. Sew several together and use them to polish stoves.
 If something you are cooking hap pens to scorch, set the kettle in cold water immediately, and there will be absolutely no scorched taste. This is worth trying.
 Instead of prying fruit jars open with knife, just hold the top in warm water for a minute. You will be sur prised to see how easily the lid will come off. This also avoids all danger of cutting your hands, as so often hap pens.

need only be said that there are both poisonous and non-toxic species which act alike on silver. Again, no reli- ance is to be placed on the conten- ton that if the outer (upper) skin of the top of the toadstooI peeIs off read fly, such species is edible. Some poisonous species also will peel" Fla vor has often been alleged to serve as a reliable guide to- edfbility, the bit ter or peppery species being charg- ed with detrimental attributes. Elk perience shows, however, that the most poisonous toadstools are not at all disagreeable in respect to the fla Vor of the raw tissues. Other tests are the alleged telltaIe color changes that are supposed to appear when toxic mushrooms are bruised or bro ken; or the existence of a milky juice the invasion of insects, which are be- Heved to avoid the per11fcfous sVarie- ties None of these "tests'' can be applied with any certainty. As the proof of the pudding is in the eat ing hereof,'' so the surest way of learn ing to distinguish the poisonous from the innoucous mushrooms is by eat ing them-a heroic procedure-or by learning the experience of others. There is no royal road to mushroom knowledge, but one must learn to know the various species as. one learns to recognize the familiar plants of the forest, the field and the garden.
 To those who cherish the hope that the mushroom, often proclaimed as the vegetable beefsteak which Nature lavishly offers at every hand, may solve some of the problems of econ omy in nutrition, we can give little comfort; for as has been pointed out before, even the most nutritious mush- rooms are of little real nutritive value. Their chief claim to dietetic recogni- ton lies in their use as food accessor- ies and dietary condiments. In no wise can they be regarded as a sub stitute for the substantial meats or the familiar vegetable products ordin- arily consumed by man.

Egg Men Talk Over
 New Storage Law

Hartford, Sept. 10-At thet invitation of Dairy and Food Commissioner Hu- bert F. Potter wholesale and retail grocerymen and cold storage men gathered at his office at the Capitol yesterday afternoon to discuss the law enacted by the last session of the Gen eraI Assembly, which requires all cold storage eggs to be conspicuously la beIed as such, before being sold. About thirty men were present and the prop ositfon which was put up to them by the conmi issioner was: "The law pro vides thus and so. What is the best way to live up to the law"
 Thus and SOL in this instance, is the provision that eggs, which have been in cold storage over fifteen days, means, or incubated eggs, shall be marked in large letters. The discus sion took in many things, among them whether the eggs should be marked by rubber stamp, or label, whether each egg should be marked, or should be sold in sealed cartons and whether the Legislature knew what it was do- ing. anphow.
 It is readily apparent that, in de- fault of automatic hen, which stamps each egg with the time when laid, mistakes will be made, but the men, as a whole, seemed to think that the law would be sulutary. Possibly the most interesting part of the discus sion came when the meeting was ad- journed and little groups, scattered over the room, discussed among them selves the. action of the law.
 One big wholesaler discussed freely the egg market and it's peculiarities, in this way: "A grocer will get in a case of eggs, and out of that evolve a wonderful variety. A box marked eggs will be priced at 2s cents, an other marked fresh eggs will call for 35 cents. Strictly fresh eggs are still higher. And all out of the one box.
 Madam calls up on the teIephone.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-09-10


 Our eggs run from 28 cents to 50 cents,' says the grocer. Oh, mercy John would never eat anything but the very best, but they're so high you better only send half a dozen.'
 ITO my mind this is wrong. Milady. who gets sup at. 191 o'clock, don't eat a whole egg fog t9EeaJffastr1any y7geEc She has half, and wants the other half saved for the cooking. But Mike says at o clock in the morning, Sure, put in six, Margaret What we want is to get the price down, so that the mid de classes can eat eggs for break fast. We want to compete with the meat men, and we want to sell every one a lot of eggs. There is more money in selling a lot of eggs, at a moderate price, than there lfs selling a few eggs at breaknsck attitudes
 Sixty cents is not high for eggs. though, look at it one way Two eggs will make a, good breakfast and where can one find a better or more substantial breakfast for 10 centszT
