These laborers. he explains, earned
barely a living, and many owed their

left the police would be notified and

who wanted to get laborers could buy

DANGER LIES IN BOILED EGG
Scientists Discover Deadly Germs In
Poultry Productivity Only
Fresh Eggs.

The fact that hens having certain
diseases well known to chicken fan
ciers lay eggs from which come chicks
that soon develop the parental dis
ease led DR.. Leo F. Rettger, Thomas
G. Hull and William S. Sturges of the
Sheffield laboratory, Yale university,
and the Storrs agricultural expert
ment station, to investigate the posi-
bility of such eggs being injurious to
man.
Doctor Rettger is the %discoverer of
the so-called bacterium pullorum,
which makes the hen sick, is in her
egg when it is laid and then makes
the chicken that is Matched sick. He
and his associates report to the Jour
nal of Experimental Medicine that
adult fowls and young rabbits, to
which they fed infected eggs, soon
died, that kittens and guinea pigs
showed signs of poisoning, but that
rats were unaffected.
They did not feed infected eggs to
human beings, but they cooked them
in several ways and then examined
them for the bacteria. Boiling for five
minutes did not destroy these.
Poaching made the eggs sterile. Fry
ing on n side had no effect, but fry
ing on both sides destroyed the dis
ease germs. Coddling was effective
only when continued for at least five
minutes.
Cases of poisoning, sometimes on a
wide scale, after eating eggs are quite
common. So is the infection OF fowls.
Hence" say these experimenters in
their report, "a large proportion OF the
marketed eggs is infected with bac-
terium pullorum." They warn con-
sumers against any eggs but those
that are quite fresh, as the bacteria
In them develop very rapidly. espe
cially In summer.

WHEN LOVE WAS YOUTHFUL
The Little Girl With a Pigtall and
Skinny Legs Is Sweet Memory to
Dayton journal Man.


Did you marry your first little
sweetheart, she of the pinafore frock,
and, perhaps, the barber-poIe stock
ings? 1t is certain that at times she
wore a cute little braided queue,
though sometimes-when she was
dressed up-her hair hung in curls
down her slender back. How the sun
glinted in those curls. making them to
shine with a splendor akin to that
which lights the wing of drifting an
gels in the dreams of night!
Do you remember where you stood
when you first kissed her? or course,
you do, says a writer in the Dayton
CO., Journal. That is an incident
which is craven in our memory for
ever and ever. You felt thrifty and
chilly and warm and were half scared
to death. You saw God in her eyes
and felt him in your soul. Wouldn't
you give all you have, or ever expect
to have, in exchange for the innocence
OF your heart as it beat that day
against the little throbbing heart in
her tender breast?
But did you marry her? Some syn.
dictate writer is asking the question
and promises o o to tell us all about
1T, provided a lot of people will first
write letters telling her all about it.
Perhaps you married this little
woman of dreams, and perhaps you
did not. The chances are that you
did not. But you viii remember the
sweet ache that troubled your soul in
the days when you were wooing her
with a chivalry unknown to all who
have passed beyond the ~heayenland
of childhood.
When you think of her now your
soul yearns backward to that never
never land, and maybe the moisture
Of sweet sad tears fills your eye.
Did you marry her? Did you?
II you did, then, sometimes, when
you take her hand, in the quiet of a
summer evening. together you may
read the palmiest Of memory, joying
as 1t is given to but few mortals to
rejoice.

DELIGHT ~ GAUDf CLOTHES
Natives in the interior Of Africa Are
Eager Purchasers Of CASTOR
European Military Finery.

There Is a clothes dealer in London
who for years has made 1t his special
lty to purchase snowy costumes and
discarded military and official uni
forms for disposal In the Orient and
Africa.
1t is said that even the retiring lord
mayors of London have become, al
most by official tradition, this dealers
customers, and that the cooked hat,
gold-laced coat and knee breaches that
have formed an inspiring feature of
the famous pageants in the lord may
ors' professions are, as like as not, the
next year to delight the eyes OF dark
est Africa upon the proud person of
some native.
Some amusing comments have been
made by this dealer with reference to
the eagerness with which the native
in the interior Of Africa takes over
this discarded finery. He states that
at the bazaars where his goods are
purchased he has seen blacks solemn
ly walking around with waistcoats
buttoned behind instead of before and
eve men wearing women's costumes.
Big fellows have been seen in clothes
SO small that one could not imagine
how they got into them nor how they
could get out unless the stitching gave
way.
1t is related that the Prince de join
vile, when off the Gaboon coast, once
received OF his ship an official visit
from two chiefs, father and son, who
must have been customers of the Lon
don dealer mentioned. Each owned
for ceremonial purposes a military
uniform.
That of the father was an English
generals, while that of the son was a
hussar's. It's intricate cut, numerous
buttons, straps and buckles, together
with the painfully small size Of the
uniform, proved too much for him.
He sent the prince a despairing mes
sage imploring help, and a relief par
ty of delighted midshipmen was sent
to dress him and bring him aboard.
They obeyed orders, but with the
mischievousness of youth. They so
frightened every fastening of the ma
tive's already overnight attire that the
poor fellow vas nearly bursting with
combined pride and %suffocation when
he arrived. Everyone agreed that he
could never be got out of his unwont.
ed finery by any method less drastic
than cutting him out.
1t appears that nc manner Of wear.
ing a complete costume ever equals
in effect some of the savages' com.
binations of unrelated items. One ven
cradle African chieftain received his
European guests with an antiquated
evening shoulder cape of pink flow.
cred satin and spangles, worn about
his waist as an apron, while his white
wool was martially crowned with a
military helmet.
Still another conducted important
negotiations with an exploring party
clad simply and impressively in a
woman's large Gainsborough hat, a
pair OF cavalry boots and a necklace
of the glistening tin ornaments used
to decorate Christmas trees.

To Do Away With Old System.

away VIII VII oyStGUs
The government of India has decfd-
ed to abolish the system of indentured
emigration to British colonies, but 1t
will be allowed for a further period
OF five years in order to permit the
various colonies to adjust themselves
to the labor conditions necessarily en-
tailed by the abolition Of the linden
ture system. For practically half a
century the colony of Trinidad had
been dependent upon indentured la
borers from India, commonly known
as coolies, for the working of the
large sugar cocoa estates. Their la
Dor was the cheapest to be had, averag.
ing about twenty-four cents per day
during the indentured period. Hast
indians now number approximately
10000 and constitute one-third Of the
