KEEPING WATCH OF
PRODUCE DEALERS

Egg dealers who fail to candle
their eggs are. going to get them
selves into serious trouble, says w.
B. Barney, state dairy and food
commissioner.
i eve are. finding many cases
where the law relative to the hand
ling of bad eggs is not being COM
piled with, 2 said Mr.. Barney.
There is no way to tell a bad egg
from a good one except by cand-
ling, and dealers who want to avoid
the penalty imposed for selling de-
cayed eggs should lose no time in
making provision for this method
of testing their product"
The inspectors Of the dairy and
food department for the next six
weeks are going to pay special at
tention to the matter of investiga-
ting stocks of eggs, and all cases
where the law is not complied with
will be prosecuted.
There is another reason why
dealers who handle eggs should use
care to see that this food product
is of the highest quality" said Mr..
Barney, "and that is the matter of
obtaining federal license. Federal
food regulations now demand that
dealers in eggs must have license,
and no dealer who is found to vio-
late the rules pertaining to eggs
will be granted such license. In that
case he cannot buy and sell eggs,
rendering himself liable to a heavy
fine and possibly imprisonment in
case he deals in eggs without Ii
cense."
Many inquiries have come to
the state dairy and food depart
ment from dealers throughout the
state who want to know where egg
licenses may be obtained. Applica-
tion should be made to the United
States food administration, war de-
partment, Washington D. G.

Born in Yalta, in Crimean Rus
sla, Nine. Nazimova was taken to
Switzerland in her early childhood
and spent some years there, learn
ing to speak French and German
fluently, and showing a remarkable
aptitude for music. Accordingly
she was destined to become a viol-
mist, and when at the age of
twelve she returned to Russia it
was as a musical prodigy.
She was entered at the Conser-
vatory at Odessa,-and in addition
to her msuical studies was obliged
to study her own language, as her
long absence had caused her to
neglect Russian literature. She
was remarkably apt, and won the
gold medal upon graduation from
the dramatic school of the Con-
servatory. During her school days
she was a supernu7nerary at the
Artistic Theatre. then under man.
agement of Satnislavsky, the FAM
Gus regisseur, and upon gradua-
tion easily obtained leading posi-
tion in the theatre at Kostroma
with a company which afforded her
two hundred roles in her first sea-
son. Later repertoire engage
ments followed in Kerson, Russia
and Wilma, Poland, after which she
returned to Petrograd.
An attempt there to produce a
revolutionary drama, "The Chosen
People," was frustrated by the
Russian censors, so Nazimova
Joined with Paul Orleneff in pro-
ducing the prohibited play in Ber-
lin and later in London.
She first appeared in this play
in New York at the Criterion in
the autumn of 1905. "The Chosen
People" was given in Russian so
that it's audiences were of neces-
sity limited, although the produc-
tion aroused much interest. Henry
Miller became especially interested
in the talent of Nazimova who had
the role of Lila" and suggested to
her that she begin the study of

OF 1906; in the early autumn the
gifted linguist had mastered Eng

Princess.
Since that time she has become
identified with many of the cele-
brated roles in Ibsen repertoire, as
we'll as having created the famous
character of Mrs. Chepstow in
Bella Donna" Later she appear
ed in "War B1ides," which swept
the country with it's vividness dur

She was last seen in "'Ception

The following is taken from dis
patch sent out from Camp Devons, in
Massachusetts,, and is fine bit OF
military romantic history of the
times:
"Many months ago a girl, the
sweetheart of a soldier, brought to
the camp a bit of stone from her home
and laid it on designated spot. That
little action was the beginning of the
sweetheart's monument.
In the months following, other
girls, the rich and poor, from the
coast fishing villages and the Berk-
shire hills, brought bits of stone and
laid them close to the first.
Today, where the first piece of
rock was laid, there is tall shaft
composed of hundreds of multi
colored stones. 1t was dedicated
this afternoon as the sweetheart s
monument and upon a bronze tablet
on it is the following inscription:
GIN memory of those who at the
call of humanity laid aside their vo-
cations to become soldiers in the
grand army of Liberty"

CAPT. F. THOMAS
DIES AT AURORA.
WELL KNOWN FORMER ELY
MINING MAN DIES WHILE
VISITING HIS DAUGHTER.

Capt. Frank Thomas, well known
in this city where he was one of the
early mining men in charge of the
Chandler mine, died at Aurora last
week Wednesday after an illness of
several months. Himself and FAM
lily made their home at Nashwauk
where he was in charge of a mining
property but three weeks before his
death himself and Mrs. Thomas
went to Aurora for visit with their
daughter, Mrs. Thomas Wivell.
Shortly after his arrival he began to
fail until death relieved him. The
demise was caused by complication
of ailments.
Capt. Thomas was born at Cam
borne, England, 65 years ago the
first of next January. He has been
in this country 35 years, spending
the first years after his arrival in the
mining fields of Michigan and COM
ing from there to Ely where himself
and brother, Capt. Harry Thomas,
were with the Chandler mine for
many years. He later removed to
the Mesaba range and has since then
been connected with the development
of that range.
Surviving him are the widow, one
son and two daughters. Funeral
services were held at Aurora after
which the remains were taken to BIZ
wabik for interment. His many
friends in the city express their SYM
pathy to the bereaved family.

FINE STOCKS.

The merchants of this city have
made ample preparations for the
holiday trade by getting their stocks
in shape for the rush. All of the
stocks are without doubt the best
seen here in years and much bust
ness is expected. There is not a
particle of excuse why Elyites should
go out of town to do their shopping
when such splendid assortments can
be had from the home merchants.
Local merchants should advertise
their goods. The out-of-town con-
Germs are flooding the mails with their
advertising and the money orders
daily going out are proof of the
efficacy of advertising. People like
to be invited to spend their money
and seldom go where they are not in
vited.
