FROZEN EGGS FROM CHINA
Millions of Them Reach United
States by Way of Pacific
Coast.

Seattle, Wash.-Frozen eggs, ship
ped from China without shells, are
helping combat the high cost of living
on the Pacific coast and throughout
the middle West.
In the ports of Seattle and San
Francisco 34.5OO0Oo eggs arrive annu-
ally in tin cans containing Is to 80
pounds each. One egg weighs two
ounces.
A. L. Knisley of the United States
food laboratory here says that much
smaller percentage of bad eggs are
found in these shipments from China
than in the local commodity.
Two companies-one English and
one American-shell, pack and freeze
the eggs in China.
The eggs cost at least one-third less
than locals, it is said, because of the
smaller cost of production-not on the
part of the hens-but of laborers who
gather, pack and distribute them.

RUSSIA ALL RIGHT,

The Root mission which was sent to
Russia about month ago, have ac-
complished all and more than they ex-
pected to do and are now ready to re-
turn home. Telegraphic dispatches
bearing on this work of the Root mis-
sion state:
The American commission headed by
Elihu Root has completed a months
survey of all phases u the Russian sit
uation and is confident in the belief
the nation will successfully emerge
from it's internal difficulties.
The optimistic conclusions are not
derived alone from consultations with
the governmental heads. The mem
bers of the commission who came IN
frequent contact with the popular del
egates. whether of the council of
worlzmen's and soldiers delegates, the
peasants delegates or any Of the va
rious other elements of the complex
proletariat organism, have expressed
the opinion that beneath the feversh
conflict of words and ambiguity of
terms which are the natural result of
the newly acquired right Of free
speech, there lay patriotic purpose
not essentially different from that of
other democracies at war with auto
cratic ideas. Mr.. Root has made the
following statement to the Associated
Press:
"The mission has accomplished what
it came here to do and we are greatly
encouraged. We found no organic or
incurable malady in the Russian demo-
cracy. Democracies are always in
trouble and we have seen days just as
dark in the progress of our own.
eve must remember that a people in
whom all constructive effort has been
suppressed so long can not so on de-
velop a genius for quick action. The
first stage is necessarily one of de-
bate. The solid, admirable traits in
the Russian character will pull the ma
ton through the present crisis. Ma
tural love of law and order and capac-
ity for local self-government have
been demonstrated every day since
the revolution. The country's most
serious lack is money and adequate
transportation. We shall do what we
can to help Russia in both"

Commercial Activities.

The commercial economy board, un.

safety ill thirty-tiYe states, and ali
those organizations are now completed
The work Of lie committee cn trans
portation and Communication, which il
under the direction Of Daniel Willard,
has already been made fairly we'll
known to the public, but the details of
its accomplishments have been so i'll
tricate and technical that probably
only railroad men could be able to get
full view Of them. 1t has established
Itself in Washington with department
representatives in various sections of
the country, chiefly busy with the di-
rection of coal aad ere to keep them
running free for war needs. 1t has
completely modified the 100000 niles
of rG.lrgaGG CT the country for the ia,
items defense.
Other accomplishments of the coun-
Gil and advisory commission have been:
A closely knit organization of the tele-
phone and telegraph companies to in
sure to the government the most rapid
and efficient wire communications: the
settlement Of the threatened national
railroad strike; the acceptance by la
Dor and capital that existing labor
standards should not be changed: the
obtaining of 100000 pounds of cop
per for the uses CT the army and navy
at saving of approximately 100000
600 and similar savings in purchases
Of steel, zinc and aluminium; the COM
pletion Of the inventory for military
purposes of 27.000 American factories:
the money saving to the government
through the appointment of commit
tees of business men throughout tile
country TO assist the quartermaster'
department in buying supplies; the or
ganization of railroad committee to
send to Russia and the enlistment Of
reserve engineer regiments to aid in

Of medical men.
A general medical board composed
of civilian medical men of the highest
rank has been formed and meets at
intervals at Washington to advise and
cooperate with the surgeon general.
This board working through sribcoTa-
mittees furnishes the latest informal
ton on medical. and surgical expert
ences at the fighting fronts and from
the principal laboratories and research
organizations in America. 1t was at
the instance of the general medical
board that the Council of National De
Tense has taken decisive steps for the
hygienic and moral welfare of soldiers
and sailors.
To tighten up the machinery of the
whole council and advisory commission
an interdeb artnental advisory commit

charge of cooperation with the states.
This committee meets at least twice
