Dancing makes the figure supple,

body, making needed exercise a joy ana
a pleasure. There is no need for anyone
who dances the dances of today to wor-

Easy Home Test.
An interesting experiment may be
performed in the household by taking
a small quantity of ladyfingers Of the
ordinary commercial kind, such as one
buys at the grocer's or BAKERS, and
putting them on plate beneath a glass
cover. If after few minutes the
cover be removed. especially on warm
day. a most unpleasant 'boquet' of
rotten egg is likely to make Itself
manifest.
Eggs are a highly perishable prod
uct and enormous losses are incurred
through deterioration. To reduce these
losses to a minimum is a very impor-
tant economic problem, and it is with
this idea in view that a steadily in
creasing proportion Of the egg output
of the country is being marketed out Of
the she'll To do this there can be no
possible objection; indeed, 1t is highly
desirable for cheapness Of transpOr-
tatiCn and other commercial reasons
SO long as proper methods are adopted
in the choice and preparation of the
raw material But, as shown by re-
J cent investigations of the bureau of
chemistry, the methods in use are far
. from responding to health requirements

When Is an Egg Bad:

1t goes without saying that none Of

M The department ofNagriculture
w mas announced its intention to
break up the trade in rotten eggs, which
in this country has attained such large
proportions as seriously to threaten the
public health.

Twenty-Five billions Of eggs are laid

Many Dried Eggs Used.
Vast quantities of eggs are now sent
to market without the shells, either
frozen or else dried-the object in
either case being to preserve them.

Unfortunately, the eggs utilized IN

have passed, there is difficulty in sep

The egg breakers usually give for
their material less than one-third the

may be parted from the whites; but
only sound eggs can be thus separated.
Thus it is found that mixed eggs, both
dried and the frozen, contain many

Tanners Get the Worst Ones.
The shells are broken over the sharp
edge OF a. metal cup specially made for
the purpose, after which the contents
are placed in different receptacles, ac-
cording to grade. Eggs, after break
ing, are graded by appearance, by
SMELL and sometimes by taste. If Of
too doubtful quality, they are con-
signed to a vessel reserVed for tanner s
stock An expert can break and grade
in this fashion a dozen eggs minute
or over zoo an hour.
The eggs thus deprived Of their shells
are strained through a .colander TO
break up the yolks and make more

developing chicks They may then be
further blended by mixing in churn

sStTlkeS permanently
Why do they not begin to try to
agree unanimously upon the univer-
sally underlying cause of every
strike?
People who claim to be educated
and are truly-educated know that this
cause was created some sixty years
ago when machinery was IN its in
fancy.
They know that since that time
this cause is the origin for every
strike.
They know that no strike can be
settled as long as the origin is in ex-
istence.
No man is educated unless he
knows and acts accordingly that the
United States have been created to
unite mankind by the passions which
lift and not by the passions which
separate and debase.
All educated people know that in
dustrial slavery separates, debases
and degenerates all mankind. No ed
ucated man can deny this truth.
'fYou do not love humanity if you
seek to divide humanity into jealous
groups and camps" said our presi-
dent, Woodrow Wilson, on May 10.
What's the matter-what does it
all mean Any common arbitration
settles nothing; all it accompfshes is
a compromise broken at any time.
Gentlemen, change your attitude,
change it for welfare and general
prosperity of our beloved America by
arranging all matters to hold an evo-
luton.

cause can first be disclosed publicly

It cannot help to bring satisfaction

THE PUBLIC FORUM
An OPEN LETTER.,

! An OPEN LETTER. For the pur-
pose of eEadicating all strikes per-
manently the following is a sugges-
ton for an absolutely Independent
proposition.
IT must be made national affair
Graduating strikes permanently
means to make war practically i'm
possible. While the underlying cause
for every strike is the same which
creates all wars it eradicates every
idea for war preparation; it furnishes
healthy, uplifting work for every
body; no more unemployed will be
seen thereafter; it will stop charity
to be business; all bothering pub
lie question will disappear.
Responsibility will be restored.
The whole is natural nothing ar
tifcial about it. Real, honest think
ing is the only secret by which all
strikes can be eradicated permanent
1y.
Otherwise, never.
The nation which built the Pan
ANA canal is able to accomplish this
Independent and infallible PROPOSE
ton.
