MANY WAYS TO SERVE EGGS
AIbumen Water, for One Thlno. /,
PalatabIe and Highly Beneficial
for Children.

After a bilious attack or any other
kind of stomach trouble when a child
cannot digest the yolk of the egg, it
is possible to make the needed albu.
men more palatable by poaching Just
the white, removing the yolk before
the white is dropped into the poacher.
Of course this can only be done in
the transition period after the albu-
men water (raw white shaken up in
water is no longer strong enough.
Those who have babies generally
know how to make albumen water
but for the benefit of those who do
not know, the proportion depends
upon the age of the child.
The usual formula for older chill
dren is the white of one egg shaken
up in a glass of water, put on ice or
served with ice chopped with little
orange juice for flavoring, if the doc
tor will allow it.
A refreshing drink for sick person
is the white of egg shaken up in two
thirds of a glass of water, mixed with
the juice of a whole orange and half
a lemon, with a little cracked ice.
The acid cuts the albumen and pre-
vents the stringiness besides adding al
delicious flavor, cooling to feVered
throat.

DOCTOR WRONG BY 81 YEARS
War Veteran, Tagged "MortalIy
Wounded" Recently Dies Natural"
Death" for All That.

Fulton, Mo.-Left on the battlefield
dying nth the surgeons notation,
"mortally wounded" written after his
name, only to live fifty-four years and
die a natural death, was the ex-
perience of the late John w. Davis. a
Confederate veteran of Fulton. A let
ter received here from Joseph A.
Mudd, another Confederate veteran of
Hyattsville, Md, tells the story as fol-
lows:
Il have just seen mention of the
death in Fulton of John w. Davis.
He was member of a grand COM
pany of brave boys, commanded by
Capt. D. H. Mcintyre, afterward at
torney-general of Missouri-Company
A, Burbridge's regiment. Ours was
Company B, and we stood side by side
in battle. Comrade Davis was just my
age.
AT Wilson's Creek, nearly fifty-four
years ago, saw him shot, so badly
hurt that the surgeon wrote 'mortally
wounded after his name"

CAST BOTTLE ON THE WATER
After Many Days 1t Came Back Filled
to the Neck With Choice
Whisky.

Virginia, Minn.-A. B. Coates, a well
known mining man, got surprise IL
the express the other day. 1t was
bottle of whisky from a Kentucky
distillery that he had not ordered. The
odd thing about the gift was that the
liquor was in bottle that Mr.. Coates
emptied with a party of friends while
steaming down the River Nile in
Africa about a year ago and threw
into the murky stream. In the bottle
he had placed slip of paper bearing
his name and address. Someone
found the bottle and forwarded it to
the distillery, where it was filled and
sent to Mr.. Coates with the liquor fac.
tory's compliments. The original bot.
tie was presented to Mr.. Coates by
local friend when he started on hit

Builds BenzoI Plant Complete in
Twenty-Five Days.
First In United States Since War Be-
gan, Turns Out 800 Gallons Daily
Supply Was Formerly
From Germany.

! Orange, N. J.-Completion of the
first benzol plant built in the United
States since the war has been an
nounced by Thomas A. Edison. 1t
was finished in the record time of
20 days, from six to eight months
usually being required.
Benzol is used in making aniline
dyes and synthetic carbolic acid.
Practically the entire supply always
has come from Germany, and the war
had not been long in progress before
there was a scarcity.
Edison uses a ton of carbolic acid a
day in making photograph records.
When the war made carbolic acid
scarce he decided to make it synthet-
ically. But he needed benzol, and ben
zol was even more scarce. So first
he had to make the benzol
With characteristic directness, Edi-
son gathered the latest information
on benzol manufacture. He decided
on the method of extracting it from
coal gas in preference to the petro-
leum system of Prof. Walter Rittman
of Columbia university. Then he de-
signed a system of apparatus that
would combine cheapness and speed
of construction.
So we'll did he succeed that the
first plant, which is in Johnstown, Pa,
and on which work was started TWEEN
ty-nine days ago, now is turning out
500 gallons of benzol day. Edison
is planning another plant in Sydney,
Nova Scotia, and still another at a
yet unknown location. The total ben
zol production thus is expected to be
brought to 1000 gallons daily.
The benzol apparatus devised by
Edison, if easier to build, is some
what less permanent than the usual
type. 1t is, however, serving its pur-
pose. Edison is getting all the ben
zol he needs and has had little left
over for his friends. There is not

Consider Score of Vice Bills.

Madison.-Three days of this week
were devoted by the senate COM
mittee on education and public well
fare to a consideration of the twen-
ty vice bills recommended for pas
sage by the legislative committee,
which spent nearly year investigat-
ing the subject of vice in this state.
Most of these measures were pre-
sented in the legislature by Senator
R. w. Monk of Neillsvii'e, member
of the committee and a physician.
Doctor Monk says that if the laws
will accomplish as much again as was
accomplished by the investigation
there will be no one to complain
against the moral standards of the
state.
in cities where we held hearings
conditions were Immediately cleared
up; houses were closed and other IL
legal violations of law were ended"
declared Doctor Monk.
Among the many bills which the
coNmittee will urge for passage the
following are the more important:
To apply the provisions of the Mann
act against the transportation of wom-
en- and girls for immoral purposes
