ed into deplorable guerrilla warfare.
Gen. Lee knew that the whole South
had its eyes on him and expected A.
nal triumph.
He called his leading subordi-
mates and explained that their little
army was completely surrounded by
FIVE or six to one. "How many of
the enemy do you think you could
cut your way through" he asked Of
the intrepid>Gen. John d. Gordon, Of
Georgia.
"Gen. Lee" was the reply, IL can
cut my way through as many YAM
KEGS as you can place between here
and the Gulf OF Mexico"
Gen. Gordon" Lee replied with
a sad smile, "the war is over. | will
no longer see the useless slaughter
of such heroic men,"
What a burden he felt upon his
great heart in laying down his sword
at the feet of the conqueror. 1t was
the first and only time Lee ever met
Grant in personal contact. Lees
farewell address to his heart-broken,
tattered soldiers Is classic-a mod
ell for all time. With a heavy heart,
back through his native Virginia
home, through valleys laid waste by
vandals-valleys that "a crow
couldn't fly over without carrying its
rations''-went back to resume
teaching young men and their child
rem who had carried him to his fl
nal victory to a fame immortal
which shall outshine the stars.
Down with the cowardly thought
which would suggest as lost the
cause upheld by Lee and Davis. The
single example of the Southern Con-
federacy is an example to all the ma
lions of the sin-stained and blood
stained earth. No spot was ever
found on her proud escutcheon. In
the words of an English poet:
mo nation rose so pure and fair,
Or fell so free from crime"

Springfield. ILL.,, Jan.22.-Poverty

lated conditions of domestic en-
ployment render the home, in many
cases. breeding place of CONNER
cialized vice, according % the I'LL
noise Senate White Slave Investi-
eating Committees rerort, made
public tonight.
Thousands of girls, it says, are
forced to lead immoral! lives because
of the sheer inability to keep body
and soul together on the low wages
they receive" The system of domes-
tic employment in America is con
demned in positive terms.
"Unregulated conditions of do
nestle employment. uncertain hours,
absence of definite social status and
lack of creative opportunities render
the home in many cases for the wo-
men servants breeding place of i'm
morality" says the report.
Investigations disclosed that more
women of the underworld fell into
dishonor from domestic employment
than from any other work. OF 1S1
girls sent to the State Training
School at Geneva, H., who had work.
ed for wage previous to commit
ment, the committee found that 115,
or 63.55 per cent, had been engaged
in domestic service.
Eight dollars week is fixed by
the committee as the least amount
that will meet the necessary items
of a bare living for girl employed
in a large city. The report says wages
were found to be discouragingly
short of this figure.
Attention is called to testimony
taken by the committee "of wages
running as low as SO week; Of
foremen who prcfa iely abuse girls
in short dresses; of a manager who
found lis factory besieged with the
agen's of pr: fessional White

The report says there can be no
disagreement as to the effects on the
young woman of the alternate drink
ing and dancing as practiced in
many fashionable restaurants.
The commission found that the
highest standard of morals exists
among the girls in the high schools,
colleges and universities of the State.
The committee makes the follow
ing recommendations:
Enactment Of minimum wage law.
Repeal of social reform laws fall
le~ into disuse, and strict enforce
ment of all others.
Encouragement of uniform State
social legislation.
Improvements Of conditions for
girls in domestic service.
Establishment of industrial school

Fine Expression.

In a review of a novel we come
across this suggestive sentence: "Here,
too, characters that transmute COM
mon things into gold by the alchemy of
the spirit" The finest thought Of the
day is expressed by that modest sem
tence. The great problem In religion,
education, business, politics and So
ciety concerns itself with that trans
mutation. 1t suggests a finer life than
one gets out of the materialism Of the
age, with its luxury, pleasure, selfish
ness, Ill will, spite, and o~verreaching.
The evolution Of the day is toward the
sanctifcation of everyday experience
and infusing heroism into common life.
That is what must eventually happen
IL humanity " gets to be what 1t
should be. II Is a long way to that
end, longer, perhaps, than from the
monad to man, as Emerson expresses
it, but thither the evolution proceeds.

How to Raise Value
Of Market Eggs

Give the hens clean nests and plenty
Of them.
Gather eggs twice daily during warm
weather and daily during other sea-
sons
Handle eggs just as little as posi-
BILE. Every time they are handled they
deteriorate.
Market eggs Of the correct size. "a
to % ounces per dozen.
Overly large or very small eggs
should be culled out.
Clean eggs only will bring best
prices. Have clean nests and clean
houses. Never wash the eggs as it
spoils the bloom and spoils the keep
Ing quality. The last thing a hen does
before laying an egg is to deposit a
fluid about 1t which seals 1t, as 1t were,
and acts as a protection.
Produce infertile eggs. They stand
shipment better than fertile eggs; they
do not develop germs, withstand the
heat, cost less to produce, and seldom
decay from any trouble In the interior
OF the egg. Kill, sell or confine the
mature male birds as soon as the
Matching season is over.
Keep the eggs In a cool place. A
dry, cool room, or a dry, cool basement
Or cellar, will prevent shrinkage, mold
and chick development.
Don't let eggs come in contact with
bad odors such as paints, kerosene.
cabbage or decaying vegetables or
meat.
Held eggs deteriorate. They shrink
