The following telegram from the
Provost Marshal General under date
of September 81, 1917 is quoted fol
your information and it is request
ed that you give it as wide publici
ty az possible.
IA reward Of $4,000 is payable for
the delivery at the nearest Army
Camp or Post of deserter. This re
ward is in full satisfaction of all ex-
penses incurred in said delivery. A
person who fails to report to his
Local Board for Military service at
the time specified in his honor to
report is q deserter. A person who
fails to report for military service
to the Aajutant General Of the State
by the date specified in the order
of the Adjutant General to said per-
sons is a deserter. 1t is highly de-
sirable from every standpoint that
all persons who are delinquent in
epc~ting for military service. 1t Is
thought that If the fact of reward Is
given the widest publicity We shall
have a great force Of police Off
GERS and even Of individuals interest
in bringing such delinquents under
military control. If after such persons
are brought to a military authority
it appears to be the military au-
thority that their delinquency if
not wilful they will be forwarded to
Mobilization Camp and their Local
Board will be given credit If it ap-
pears that the delinquency was will
tul they will be prosecuted before
court martial as deserters. In either
case the reward is payable.

1853 per cent per mile greater than
for June, 1916, but the figures for
six months of the year show a
decrease in operating income per
mile of AZ per cent as compared
with the Il st six months OF 1916.
The total reTcaues for the six month
were over }2o1 ,OO0, 900 greater than
in 1916 but :Penses were $2G7, OO0,-
600 greater than in 1916 but expenses
were $27,OO0,OG greater, taxes were
$12, 500 900 more and the operating in
come was therefore over $1S,OOO,OO0
less.
"These facts explain clearly" this
paper says, why the stocks of
some OF our best railroads are sell
ing at prices less than when the
exchanges closed in July, 1914, and
why, in the same week that the fig
ures were issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, Pennsylvania
fell below par for the first time I'M

THE RAILROADS. HIGH


THE returns Of railway revenues
and expenses Tor June and fol-
the first six months CT the year 1917,
says the Railway Age Gazette, show
that the railways OF the United
States are still breaking all previ-
GUS records except in the vitality inn
portant item of operating income,
which represents what is left, after
expenses and taxes are paid, as a
return on the capital invested and
therefore determines the credit OF
the railways and their ability to
finance improvements or additions to
their facilities.
They are therefore in much the
same position as the man whose
pay has been raised but not quite
enough to keep up with the in
creased cost of living
Total operating revenues for June,
were greater than in any previous
month in history, the Railway Age
Gazette shows, the total Of $780,

| Mr.. Guy u Hardy, editor of the
Canon City Record, returned to his
home recently from visit to New
York City. He wrote up the notes
OF his trip and published them in
/ his newspaper. One of these notes,
in which he comments upon "Cour@
tesy," is especially pleasing to the
Union Pacific Railroad. 1t is little
sermon well worth reading. This is
what Mr. Hardy says;
"A little courtesy helps wonder
fully in business. l saw this illustra-
ted in New York. One day went
into little Union Pacific ticket

convenient to buy up town, near my
hotel.
Several days later when / want

flee Of another line, the line
was leaving New York on. near the
hotel, intending to buy the ticket
and get it off my hands. The man
who waited on ME was so short and
grouchy about my inquiries that I
finally told him l didn't care for the
ticket then and went away.
81 went back down to the Wool
worth. building, 80 blocks away, and
finding the courteous young man
had seen before, had him fix up
the ticket He not only arranged |
the ticket just the way | wanted it
and did it cheerfully, but he got my
Pullman ticket, from Albany to st.

How to Select Eggs.

In addition to cleanliness and fresh

Wholesomeness of Eggs.

Though wholesome when fresh and
clean. eggs may be decidedly unwhoie-
some when old or dirty. The housewife
should be careful when buying, there
fore, to choose eggs which are as clean
and fresh as possible. Similarly, the
producer of eggs should keep nests
clean and sanitary and should collect
eges frequently. 1t is also well to in
sure the production of eggs with good
keeping qualities by producing only IN
fertile eggs after the Matching season.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-02-16

Because of the peculiar food value OF
eggs. their relative freedom from waste
and the ease with which they may be
prepared. their use as meat substitutes,
al least is often desirable even when
a consideration of their price alone
would not so indicate. This is stated
in a recently published professional
paper Of the office of home economics
OF the United States Department of
Agriculture, Department Bulletin AL.
1t is pointed out, however. that while
this is true of eggs served as one of
the principal dishes of a meal. 1t often
is not true of eggs used in cakes, pud-
dines and other desserts along with
meats 1t is in the latter use of eggs
that the housewife who wishes TO
economize can try especially to curtail
consumption.
fact which makes this latter prac-
tice easier is that with the present
availability of baking powders, corn
starch. gelatin, etc, the use or eggs 20
impart lightness or to thicken liquids
is not now essential, as it was in the
past.
Food Elements in Eggs
The principal food element furnished
by eggs is protein. the heterogeneous us
building element whose presence in
considerable proportions :lso gives
meats fish milk. cheese, etc. their
special food value. Eggs can. there
fore be substituted in the Diet Tor the
latter foods without materially AFTER
ing the proportion of protein consumed.
, In addition to protein. eggs also fur-
nish fat and number of valuable MIN
eral elements including sulphur. phos-
phorus iron calcium and magnesium,
in an easily assimilahle form. and are
believed also to be rich in certain es-
sential vitalizing elements called VITA
Minis.
Like milk and unlike meats, eggs 90
not contain substances convertible IN
the body into uric acid. Their sheiis
constitute the only waste materials
Ninety-seven per cent of the portion
eaten-a high proportion compared 10
other foods-is digested
No extended cooking is necessary Tor
eggs. and there is therefore. a saving
of time. labor and fuel in their prepare
ton when they are compared with
many other foods. For all these rea-
sons, eggs deserve an important place
in the diet for use at times in place OF
other foods rich in protein, provided
egg prices are not so high as to out
weigh the other considerations.

Cleaning Lace Yokes.

Cream or white lace yokes in silk or
wool gowns can be readily cleaned
without taking them out by going over
them lightly with a nailbrush dipped
in strong borax water, then placing in
the sun TO dry.
To do this, without danger of wet
ting the silk wool. lay the yoke over
the edge of wash basin and brush
downward into the basin. If the COL
lar has become discolored with the nat
ural oil of the skin sprinkle a little
dry borax over the discolored parts and
rub this in lightly with the wet nail
brush and place in the sun to bleach.
This application of borax water,
which can be made without in any way
harming the material of the gown. is a
simple and easy treatment for keeping
delicate yokes clean and fresh looking.
Laces can be cleaned or bleached in
the same way with very satisfactory
results; also any ruchings that will
stand water. l.. V. H. b.
