The YoIk Of an ECO.

After the fast of Lent medieval Gus
tom insisted that an egg should be
eaten on Easter day. According to the
London Lancet. this rule was based on
sound medical principles. for the only
substance in the yolk is iecitllin. and
lecithin is favorite drug with doctors
who have patients suffering from nerv-
Gus disorders. The quantity of the
drug administered at time CORE
spends almost exactly with the guam
tity found in normal new laid egg.

OF GREAT LAKES
BECOMING A SERIOUS MENACE

Washington. Dec. N.-Pellution of the
Great Lakes and tributary waters is be-
coming serious menace to health, ac-
cording to the annual report today of
Surgeon General Rupert Blue OF the pub
lie health service. He points out that
about 16,000,0 600 passengers are carried
each year over the Great Lakes and that
more than 1900 vessels use these waters,
1T becomes apparent. therefore, Dr.
Blue declares, that these inland vessels
play an important role in the mainte-
name of the high typhoid fever rate in
the United States"
It is recommended that water taken
from the Great Lakes be purified before
used for drinking purposes.
Dr. Blue details the work of the medi-
cal officers under him for the year in
investigating tuberculosis and making
special inquiries into epidemics of ty-
phoid fever and other diseases.
Public health officers who examined
conditions relative to the effect on
persons who come in contact with NIL
gratory consumptives found little rea-
son to believe that such contract has
proved injurious. He points out again

MRS. kate COBB
GIVEN PARDON

Hartford, CT, Dec. 1S.-Mrs. Kate
Cobb CT Norwich, who has been con-
fined in the state prison at Wethers-
field for nearly 36 years, for the muir
der of her husband, was today grant
ed a pardon by the State Board of Par
dons. She was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment in 1879.
The granting of a pardon to Mrs.
Cobb, who is now &c years old, recalls
one of the most sensational crimes in
the annals of Connecticut courts. Her
husband, Charles Cobb, was tax
collector of the city of Norwich. He
was found dead in January, 1879. Soon
afterwards, Mrs. Wesley Bishop, a
member of prominent Norwich fam
lily, also died suddenly Both families
were intimate. The coroner's inquest
showed that both Cobb and Mrs. Bish-
op had died of poisoning, under sus-
picious circumstances. Mrs. Cobb and
Bishop were arrested and it developed
after a remarkable trial that the two
mad planned separate murders, IN or
der that they might be free to marry.
The evidence, however, was mostly
circumstantial and it was not until
Bishop had turned states evidence
that the motive and details were
brought out. Both were sentenced to
life Imprisonment. Bishop died In
prison two years ago.

of crates of eggs as damaged in tran

after which the dealers sold all the un-
harmed eggs and then sued the roads for
the full value of each case. Figures
were introduced to show that In 1918 the
railroads paid claims to the egg dealers
of nearly s70o,00o while in the last year,
under more rigid inspection, the claims
have been less than 100000.

HUNGARIAN TELLS
OF THE AUSTRIAN
ARMY'S DEFEAT

London, Dec. 1910 A. M.D-The
Morning Post today publishes a Bud
apest letter written by a Hungarian
journalist in which he describes the
defeat of the Austrian army in Ser
via and it's sufferings in retreat AMI
declaring that Field Marshal Oskar
Potiorek, in command of the Austrian
forces, will be tried by court martial
in Vienna. In the rear guard actions
during the retreat" the letter says,
the Austrians lost $4,000 men in dead
or wounded and 10000 prisoners, be-
sides sacrificing more guns, ammuni-
ton and provisions than the Servians
ever had in the whole war"
The correspondent adds THE feel
ing in Hungary had translated itself
into demonstrations and rioting in
Budapest, Prague and other towns.
Count Tisza, the premier, in a sensa-
tional speech in the Hungarian Par
lament, declared that if the import
ance of an invasion of Hungary was
not realized by the general staff in
dependent Hungary would find
means to concentrate her sons, who
are now fighting abroad in defence Of

Remarkable Change in Alaskan Wa
ters Due 70 Volcanoes?

A remarkable phenomenon in Alas
kan waters is reported by Captain 2.
d. Petersen, whaling master and ex-
plorer who returned a few days ago
from the far north with the whaler
Herman. On the voyage just COM
pleted Captain Petersen learned that
the water between Hog island and
Amaknak island had shoaled several
fathoms from the depth shown on the
chart, and where he had navigated
many years ago in deep draft yes
sci it is now impossible for a large
craft to take the old route.
On the chart the stretch of water
between Hog island and the main
island is given a depth of nine and
one half fathoms, but now there are
only two fathoms to be had there at
high water.
Captain Petersen believes that the
change is due to a volcanic disturb
ance "Eruptions on Bogoslof island
and of the Makushin volcano in I'm
alaska probably caused the reef to
spring between Hog island and Amak
max" said Captain Petersen. The
change was first observed by q fisher
