The Raw-Egg Delusion -. We have

them beaten up with milk before meals. but she
Is wilfull and obstinate. like most girls OF her
age. and generally refuses to take them, though
she likes scrambled eggs and omelets. Can you
suggest any way to get her to take tho eggs?
MRS. E.
Answer.-Yes. Scramble them, or make q nice
omelet. There Is. nothing virtuous about an
uncooked egg. II you like osgs raw, very WELL
but they little moro dieestible. and GER
Tho notion that raw eggs more strength

ancient custom OF forcing invalids to down

And surely 1t is unwise to feed a raw egg or

There arc many signs that Austria
Hungary is heartily weary Of the war, yet
1t would be a mistake for us to build any
plans upon the prospect Of divorcing tho Teu-

appear likely that anything short of despera-
ton could bring about separation. America

The first day OF the draft examination
showed up the American people both physi-
cally and as to spirit in a rather unfavorable
light. The second day recorded some i'm
proyement and the third day began to make
uS out as normal and healthy and courageous
as other people. and perhaps more so. On
the frst day an average OF 80 per cent of
the drafted men of New York, Philadelphia
baltimore, Richmond, Atlanta and New Or
leans was found physically unfit, and over
20 per cent OF those who passed asked to
be exempted. On the second and third days
the physically unfit dropped down to GO per
cent-still very large per cent-and In some
places as low as 40 and 81 per cent This
marked improvement was due to the fact
that the weak men physically and the men
with other excuses rushed in the first day

tDISON'S LATEST SURPRISE
Americas Leading Inventor Gives The
Government Another Scheme to
Foil the U-bOat

Camaheurage has been put to
another use. The art Of Disgusting
the ships so that the average merchant
man is practically indistinguishable
at even a short distance has been
perfected by an American to point
where it is but one more step to make
merchantmen invisible. The American
is Thomas A. Edison. For months it
has been heralded about that he was
at work on scheme to eliminate sub
marines. But the plan he was work
ing on was no sensational invention to
blow up and destroy U-boats. 1t was,
instead, a method OF hiding the masts
and painting the vessels so that they
would blend with the sea.
1t was declared at the Navy Depart
ment that merchantmen treated with
the Edison method are now as in
visible as the submarines" Confidence
was expressed that they soon will be
entirely invisible" against the horizon.

R. R. Men To Ask For Increase

That the four big railway brother
hoods plan to demand another wage
increase, probably Of twenty per cent,
was admitted last week by Vice Pres
ident w. H. Deak, OF the Trainmen's
brotherhood. The increasing cost OF
living, without and advance in wages
since the opening OF the war, will be
the basis OF the demands.
When adopted, the demands will
be made by the conductors, the train
men, fremen and engineers acting in
unison. Vice President Leak did not
believe that an understanding of the
main points in the movement could
get fully underway before early next
year.

Because complaint was lodged with

mayor ordered Marshal Love to close
all pool rooms. Under a strict inter
pretation OF the law it is violation to
keep the doors open on Sunday, but
this law has not hitherto been inforced
