work preparing for it, more than three
months, and that miles of railroads had

ollowing rules have been adopted by
the organization.
I. Eggs 20 be absolutely clean. A
washed egg win not keep as well as
an unwashed one, but we mean TO get
our eggs TO the consumer so quickly
hat even a washed egg will be per.
fectly fresh when delivered. There.
fore il is best to wash them all. Vine.
gar, Dutch Cleanser OF Sapolio will re.
move stains that simple washing with
water will not remove, but better way
$ to provide proper nests and clean
nesting material so that the eggs viii
aot be stained.

to the dozen, net. The cartons we use
weigh a little over two ounces so that
the eggs In the carton must weigh n
little over. twenty six ounces. Please
DO not guess at the weight if you are
in doubt, but lay the dozen on the
scales and make sure. The Circle can
sell eggs weighing less than this, If
desired, the price to be in proportion
TO the weight. The practise of putting
down the small eggs in water glass for
use at home in the winter and fall is
commended to the consideration of the
members in this connection. ft,
3. About freshness. Please put In
the cartons only eggs that have been
laid since the last time the eggs were
delivered to the Circles agent. Such
delivery at present is once a week,
As the days grow warmer IL may be
necessary TO deliver twice week.
With eggs freshness is, of course, the
point of most Importance and we must
have a solid reputation on that point

4. About duck eggs. An Indian
Runner duck egg is as good as a hen
egg and generally larger. Ducks can
be gotten TO lay in the fall when hen
eggs are scarce, if they are Matched
during February, March and April. We
want, therefore, to accustom the public
20 the use Of /. X. duck eggs in order
that we may be able TO keep up con
tinuous supply of eggs, to our trade
throughout the year. At present do

xVJ ksHlNGToN, March 3--Con-
w gress cleared the way last night
for final enactment of the
$36s,556,3Ss naval appropriation meas
ure, after desperate efforts on the part
of leaders Of house and senate had
been successful in STRENGTHENING out a
controversy that for a time yesterday
threatened TO kill the measure and
render a special session of congress
necessary. =. . -
The trouble arose over the amend
ment made by the senate Thursday pro.
viding for bond issue of $3.50, 900, 900.
The house fatty refused to accept this
amendment, e0ntending that the senate
had exceeded its authority and tres
passed upon the rights Of the lower
body in initiating a revenueraising
measure. All revenue measures must,
according TO the constitution, originate
in the house. r..
In the end the senate reconsidered
the measure, eliminated the bond
amendment without roll call and re,
passed the bill. Sieantime it was
agreed that both houses would pass an
Independent measure authorizing q
bond issue Of $l50,000,0O0. -
Until late last night it appeared
probable that the bill would fail of
passage and special session of con.
Fress would be required. Congressman
Padgett, chairman Of the house naval
committee, declared that the house
would never, accept the senate amend
nsent, while Senator Swanson of Vir.
finla expressed the opinion that any
attempt 10 have the bill recOnsidered
by the house would start debate that
would not end until the session had
expired. @.N ..asl H. ,E.ef, r
Leaders Of both house and senate got
together, however, considered the mat
fer and then succeeded in making
peace between the two bodies, with the
\, result that the senate eliminated Its
amendment and the ways and means
committee of the house prepared a re-
solution for immediate passage provid
ing for a bond issue. = r."
