That business and pleasure can of,

the local branch of the National Asso.

Belgium Again to
Be a battle-ground

Tho Franco.Belgian front is bris-
thing with military activity all re.
ports indicate preparation for opera
tions on large scale. When the blow
will come and where it will fall, how.
ever, are still matters for speculation
which is being freely INDUCED in by
military commentators.
Much attention cellters on the north
ern part of the front. The Germans
recently closed the Belgian.Dutch from.
tier and there are reports of import
ant. troop movements behind the secret
barrier. These are interpreted as pos.
sibly presaging another attempt by the
Germans to break through the User
line in the drive for Calias-a move
yainly attempted earlier in the war.

County Supervisors Cut
Bills of Council Members

There is another fight brewing be-
tween the city and the county. While
sitting as a board OF review to equal
ize the city tax levy, members of the
city council drew extra pay from the
county in accordance with the state
law. Two dollars per day, and each
session, generally held at night has
constituted day. The time given to
the work is certified to the county
auditor by the city clerk in the form
of a claim against the county. The
usual course was pursued this year
and yesterday the bills reached the
county supervisors and were reduced
one-half. .....
The certified bills showed that AL
derman Clawson put in forty-one
days; Damon, forty-two; Gerber, for
ty-three; Johnson, forty-two; Lang
ston and Williams, each forty-six; Oh
son, forty and Williams, thirty-eight.
1t was asserted that the councilmen
would not submit to the cut, and there
are prospects of war. Some of the
meetings were as long and strenuous
as the regular council meetings, and
all of the members feel tina they have
earned the SIS to $92, charged against
the .ounty.

Cautions,

SdullOIlS.
Only eggs known to be absolutely
fresh should be used. lnfertile eggs
are superior to fertile eggs for this
purpose. Under ordinary summer
temperature, fertile eggs are spoiled
for food in twenty-four hours. An
infertile egg under the same degree
of temperature will remain fit for
food for six days, Fertile eggs may
be used when it is known that they
have not been subject to heat.
Only those eggs having strong,
sound shells should be used. An egg
with a weak shell placed in the solu-
ton is liable to be broken and may
ruin the entire lot of eggs by befoul-
ing the preservative. Cracked or
dented eggs may be detected by hit
ting one egg against another. If the
ring is metallic, the she'll is not
cracked or broken; but if deadened,
a close examination will reveal a
crack or blind check. Such eggs will
SPOIL in the preservative.
