great, in reality. Both are made with
eggs and milk, they are cooked i'll similar
fashion both are varied by the addition
of meat and Jam and other ingredients.
And sometimes. omelets even have little

BUYING.
McLaurin Does Not Think Cotton Ad.
Artificial.

Columbia, April 23.-John l.. Nc
Laurin. State warehouse commission
err. expressed the opinion yesterday
that the steady increase in the price
Of cotton was due to investment"
buying. Ten-cent cotton has been re-
ported from several cities and towns
in the State during the week. The
commissioner said that there is plenty
OF money in New York and that the
fnanciers nov consider cotton a good
investment, in fact, better than stocks
and bonds.
The commissioner said that he did
not believe that the price had been
increased as a means of forcing a
larger cotton crop for 1915, but that
there is a real demand for the staple.
Reports reaching Columbia indicate
that England is buying cotton. The
New England mills are said to be maxi
ing heavy orders.

Sharp Comment.
Ottawa. Ont, April 22.-Arthur Mel
Chen, solicitor general for Canada, in
an address to the L%aurentina Club to-
day, criticised the policy of President
Wilson in the war. He declared the
United States appeared to care more
for party politics and dollars and
cents than for the principles of JUS
tice and freedom and the cause of hu.
manity.
Referring to President Wilson's New
York speech, he said all the world
knew Great Britain was fighting to
save humanity. fighting to save the
United States as well as the rest of
the world from a tyranny which
would have overwhelmed all. Instead
or giving moral assistance, he declar-
ed, the United States was continually
nagging Great Britain, and showed q
distinct inclination t hamper her in
her efforts for civilization.
