SPECIAL MUSIC INTERPRETATION

The Gaiety theater orchestra is
busily engaged upon the musical score
that accompanies WAR Brides" That
this score is extremely heavy and still
more than ordinarily tuneful is the
endorsement given 1t by the press
wherever the wonderful film has been
played. Elko is to be congratulated
upon having an organization of musi-
clans capable of handling musical

JOHNNY SRI HAS A
VERY CLOSE CALL

The Eureka Sentinel gives the fol-
lowing interesting account OF a fellow
whose Inconsistencies nearly cost him
his life:
Johnny Siri is reported to have mar
rowly escaped being killed Thursday
when he crossed the river and by a
roundabout road reached the top of
the portals over one of the Southern
and Western Pacific railway tunnels.
There is a close board fence on the
hill above the tunnels, and as there Is
force of soldiers of the California
National Guard now doing guard duty
at the tunnels and have strict orders
to allow no one to approach or enter
the tunnels, II is thought Johnny was
just trying to see II the soldier boys
were attending strictly to business.
He found that they were as soon as
he climbed up and his head showed
above the top of the fence. He was
challenged and ordered to halt, but
he had seen enough and started to
run. a shot from the guard caused
him to turn on more gas and keep
going, but second shot sang so close
TO his head that he dropped fiat on
the ground and waited until the
guard came up and placed him under
arrest. and il took considerable ex.
planning and show down of creden.
tails before he was released by the
officer in command.
The officers and soldiers have a
camp on the river bank near the
tunnels and are comfortably situated
in their new quarters, and seem to
be prepared for an indefinite stay.
Since Mr.. Sri made his trip of in.
vestigation it is said that all residents
of that section are now satisfied to
make their observations from their
own side of the Humboldt river, and
that all are willing to give the sol
der boys the credit of attending strict.

Washington's Pensioner Dreaded ths
Matrimonial Yoke.
One of the I'd cipients of Washington's
bounty was lis old neighbor, Captain
John Posey. Posey sold Washington
not only his Ferry farm, but also his
claim to western lands. He became
financially embarrassed-in fact, ruin
ed: bis family were scattered, and lie
made freoueut applications to Wash
ington for advice and assistance.
Washington helped to educate son,
St Lawrence. who had been reduced
to the hard expedient of tending bar III
a tavern. and be also kept daughter,
Milly. Mt Mount Vernon as sort OF
companion to Mrs. Washington. Ihe
captain once wrote the following de-
lightful letter, which is quoted By Paul
Leland Hawofth in George Washing
ton, Farmer"
II could Cha wei been able to (haveD

Evidently the captain did not find a
way out of his troubles by the matri-
monial route, for somewhat later he
was in Jail at Queenstown, presumably
for debt, and we find in one of Wash

Is there any real physiologic founda-

reason for he popular idea that eggs
constitute an ideal invalid food,
Many other foods are better suited to

from the use Of eggs.
Eggs Change Easily.
While Eggs are rich in tissue. build
ing material. fat, iron, and other es.
sentials for good body building, it is
a fact that they are extremely com
plex-chemically, that they tend to
putrefy very easily. For this reason,
With those who have impaired diges-
zion, eggs more than any other food,
are more likely to take on a change
and form some of the most virulent
or food po sons. However, under
normal conditions OF digestion. in
those whose digestion is not impaired,
eggs are fairly easily digested, but
they frequently bring about con
ditlon commonly termed sluggish
liver Constipation, mental depres-
sion and headaches, are not inf-e-
quently due to the use of eggs.
When to Eat Eggs.
While eggs should be eaten yery
sparingly by those who have impaired
digestion. the average person, with
average digestion, can take care of
eggs easily twice a week. It is better
however. to eat them no more often.
While fried eggs are practically indi-
gestible, it is not necessary to eat |
them raw to get the full nourishing
effect A soft boiled, or coddled egg,
Or one that has been boiled for forty |

Like Trained Soldiers.
The killer whale usually travels and
hunts in schools or packs of from
three to dozen or more individuals
Unlike most whales, the members of
these schools do not travel in a strag-
Cling party, but swim side by side,
their movement is as regularly timed as
those of soldiers. A regularly spaced
row of advancing long black fins swift
~ cutting the undulating surface of
the sea produces singuarly sinister
effect. The evil impression is well JUS
tilted, since kill ers are the most savage
and remorseless Of whales. The jaws
are armed with rows Of effective teeth,
with which the animals attack and de-
YOUR seals and porpoises and even de-
stroy some of the larger whales.
Killers are like giant wolves of the
sea, and their ferocity strikes terror to
other warm bic oded inha bitants of the
deep. The Els kimos of the Alaskan
coast of Boring sea consider killers as
actual wolves In sea form. They be-
ueFe tnat In the early days, when the
world was young and men and animals
could change t heir form at will, land
wolves often went to the edge of the

ravening over the land. Some of the
natives assure one that even TODAY Ger.

OF their malignant character are much

large whales hy tearing away their

tspecial Cable to Nippu Jiii)

TOXIC, Japan, July 6.-During the
debate on the floor of the house Of
deputies of the resolution calling for
the impeachment of the present jap
anese cabinet. under the premiership
Of Gen. Count Terauchi, Y. Ozaki, one
of the leaders of the Kenseikwai, the
opposition party, became so excited
that he called Baron 8. Goto, the min
lister of interior and the right-hand
man of the premier, German spy.
This insult to the member Of the
cabinet was resented by Goto and he,
also becoming as excited as his oppo-
nent, called Ozah an anti-Japanese.
Confusion and disorder followed
the verbal battle between the two and
Mr.. I. ooka, the speaker Of the house,
finally pronounced a recess Of an
hour for the whole house to calm
down.
After the recess Ozah changed his
mind and moved to strike out the
term German spy" from the house
minutes. Goto also revocated his &C
cusation upon Ozaki Of "anti-Japan-
esq.,"
The Kenseikwai, failing. to. i'm
peach the cabinet, is now planning to
impeach Goto alone on the ground
that he is unconstitutional in his exc
cution Of official duties.
