The Egg SpeculatOr
Is Cackling-DrOp Him
Now and Break Him

The Agricultural department an
nounces that eggs are going into cold
storage at "a cents per dozen, which is
so per cent higher than last year.
This means that during most Of next
fall and winter American housewives
will have to pay so per cent more for eggs
than last fall and winter.
Figure il out, please.
1t means 80 to 80 cent eggs, doesn't it
JEST Rho8ff and. likely. rn6se toe FOR the
cold storage man Will not only put that
so per cent extra he's now paying for
eggs upon his prices, but his expenses are
going 10 be higher and the housewife can
safely bet the good will Of her cook that
these increases will also go upon the
price of eggs.
You will not rupture your power of inn

find eggs 81 the dozen.
Your family, Mrs. Housewife, is in the

You can sit in that center and tearfully

The Real German-American
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1916. by Frank Crane)

After all, salvation must come out of
Germany. IL is not from the armies of
the allies but from the German people
themselves that we look for the solution
of this fearful problem.
When they realize that the 0roup Of
men who caused this war is not only the
worlds enemy but their own enemy. and
when they arise and Danish this evil
group, then we shall have peace,
Germany has been betrayed, butcher
ed, impoverished by the intolrant ero-
tism and ruthless will TO rule of her gov
ernors. The only hope for that country.
as for the rest of the world, is demoo-
racy.
There appeared in the New York
Times of March % remarkable poem
entitled THE Chant of German
American" It seems to me to be about
as fine a bit Of literature as the war has
inspired. Whoever the author may be-
his name is signed as Charles d. Kounts
the poem is clearly the product of
deep emotion working on clear, fine
mind. 1t is worthy of being reprinted
in every paper in the United States,
Canada, and England.
And our German-Ameriean friends can
rest assured that there can be no question
Of their loyalty, and no lack Of apprecia-
ton for their sentiment, when such an
expression Is evoked.
n the ideas Of these verses could get
past the trenches into Germany they
would do more toward ending the war
than all the bullets of Christendom.

Experienced travellers know that
the fatigue Of a railway journey Is
greatly lessened II. at frequent in

by closing them the eye-strain
caused by the peculiar conditions OF

relieved And. since eye-strain L.

There II here a fact capsule OF
far wider application than IL gen
orally appreciated.
Under the best OF conditions
steady use OF the eyes. whether In a
moving car or seated quietly IN
home OF working place. means some
degree OF eye-strain. This results
from the structure OF the eye itself.
As originally developed in man
the eye was constructed chiefly for
long distance vision. And necessar-
lly 60. because Of primitive mans

requirements.
Accordingly. In the case OF most
people, the eye tires rapidly when
used for near vision firing. Il
hsstens the onset % mental and

nervous stress which results from
eye-strain.
To avert this r. a matter OF no
greatly difficulty one has only. az

eyes for a few moments. Thus.
closing them, one rests mind and

There are some people who have

The toe OF the shoe should be

To cure a corn the heavy tissues

half hour or 30 This softens the
surface Of the corn, which can then
be scraped away 10 the level OF the
surrounding skin.
Never cut corn with a rusty

WELL
War having been declared il is abso-
lutely essential, of course, that every
thing that is done by our government
should be kept as secret as possible.
IL isn't safe for the government TO
take the public in general into its conf
dence in war time, any more than IL Is
safe for an employer 10 take every one
of his employees into his confidence when
he enters a big business deal.
To give general publicity 70 all war
news would be playing into the enemy's
hands.
A battle today might be invited for to-
morrow's purpose.
Information of il might result in our
object being sensed in Berlin and a
strategic move would have been wasted
with the terrible cost that always accom-
panies the failure of strategic move.
A press censorship is part OF the gov
ernment's program.
Under a press censorship, the govern
ment would withhold news when the CIV
ing out of news would be deemed mad
visable.
A press censorship win be readily
agreed to by every newspaper In the
country if it wants to do its bit in the
war. The Times does not believe IN the
censorship of the press, but The Times
will support the government
A press censorship will be bad for the
newspaper business.
It will be felt in the counting room.
Therefore
A number of our lingo newspapers are
not standing by the president.
