WARNS AGAINST EGG SUBSTI
TIJTES

The department of agriculture thru
it's bureau of chemistry has issued a
warning that the so-called egg sub
stitutes which are being sold to house
wives under various trade names will
in no sense take the place of eggs in
baking or cooking.
These products consist essentially
of starch or a powdered cereal pro-
duct, such as wheat flour, sometimes
artificially colored yellow to initiate
the appearance of eggs. Baking tests
showed that cakes made with these
so-called egg substitutes are inferior
to cakes made with water. Prosecu-
tons are now pending in the federal
courts against manufacturers on the
charge of misbranding under the
terms of the pure food and drugs act.

Not to own an auto, that is
Except to the bankers
Who know that the size of mans
bank account
Quite often is in inverse proportion
To the size of his car.
But if you get fun out of vaca-
ton
Go ahead and take it
And if you get fun out of an auto
mobile,
Buy it. Noboy yet has been able
To acquire a mortgage on the flu
ture.
Don't place too much dependence on
bright hereafter.
If it's to be at the expense of a
bright now.
Who remembers when a first class
common laborer could make a dollar
a day?

Cumulative Desires

Clipping is thinking of buying a
new motor car. He can't be happy, it
seems, with less than three machines"
"Well, he has the money to indulge
in that kind of extravaganza"
"To be sure, was just thinking
about the days when Clipping was
poor. He used to say the height of
his ambition was to be able to own
two pairs of suspenders at the same
time" birmingham Age-Herald.

Back at Him

The brilliant wit of the bar looked
at the moon-faced farm laborer, and
winked at his friends and whispered,
"Now We'll have some fun" "Have
you been married?" he began. "ye-e-
es," stammered the laborer, "once."
"Whom did you marry?" ga WV
W oman, SIR" "Come, my good man,
of course it was a woman. Did you
ever hear of anyone marrying man ?"
"Ye-e-es, sir, my sister did"

No Need to Repeat

A well known humorist was being
shaved by a very laxative barber,
and was forced to listen to many of
his anecdotes. The barber had to
strop his razor, and when he was
ready, brush in hand, to commence
again, he asked, "Shall l go over it
again? ?" mo, thanks" drawled the
customer. "It's hardly necessary. l
think | can remember every word"

The Point of View

Vacations are things that you go
Because other people do it
And if you didn't your friends
might think
You can't afford to.
They're like automobiles that way.
1t has come to be a sign of poverty

If all the people in the world were
to determine to kill all the flies in
the world, it is doubtful if there would
be any noticeable decrease in the fly
population. They're made faster than
they can be killed.

Sayings of the Wise

A woman is called the "better half"
because she couldn't be worse than
the other half.
Another difference between men and
women is that men never seem anX-
ious to display their arms and legs.
A wife may not understand her nus
band, but he always makes her under
stand him when dinner is not ready
in time.
Would it be too much to refer to
a man who crosses the Atlantic in a
dirigible as baloonatic?
If you are a moneylender your
friends know it and you won't make
any hit with them by telling them
about it.
If you appear cheerful under mis-
fortune the chances are you're a hyp-
ocrite.
A stubborn husband is always mar
ried to peculiar wife.
Marriages are not all unhappy. A
deaf, dumb and blind pair were mar
ried in New York the other day.
Failures may be attributed to three
causes: Lack of judgment, lack of
purpose and lack of pep"
Before a mans married he says,
"Td better be making some money"
and afterwards, Owe gotta make
some money"
Stage spinsters are so true to life
because nobody ever saw anything
like them in real rife.
When he plays on your emotions
he's probably working on your pock-
etbook.
If all the people in the world were
to determine to kill all the flies in
the world, it is doubtful if there would
be any noticeable decrease in the fly
population. They're made faster than
they can be killed.
If man could invent method of
removing a beard without shaving
that man could be elected president
of the United States by a vote that
would be unanimous except for the
BARRIERS.
A philosopher is one who knows
why others should bear their trou-
bles easily.
Then here's the nut who praises his
wife in public and gives her heck at
home.
A man who is complimented if you
call him "hard headed" would be mad
all over if you called him "bone-
headed"
There is to much sloppy forgive
ness of hardened sinners who are
only looking for the chance to be for
given in order tho resume their old
tricks.
A loud voice is rather to be chosen
than none, perhaps, but not much
rather.
There is a class of mothers who
seem to have children in order to have
something on which to vent their bad
temper.
1t must be pretty hard to be sue
cessful vampire and succeed at any
thing else.
81 wonder what he's been up to
now" is the comment of certain wo-
men when they see certain kind of
man at the theatre with his wife.
If your on the square it seems pref
ty hard to make the world go round.
If man looks two or three times
at pretty girl on the street she feels
complimented and if he stares hard
at her just once she pretends to be
offended-but generally she isn't.
Men never seem to worry much
about their regulations until they're
sued.
Don't spank child on its bad be-
havior Nature has provided BETTER
place.
If you don't know your own mind
maybe you haven't any.

"These profiteers," said Represen-
tative Esch, of Wisconsin," accuse
themselves with their excuses. They

Willie came home the other ady with a
nice new golf ball. Look at the lost

changed hands, but that spectators are buying and selling. without actually making delivery Probably there are only a few thousand shares actually in the hands of New York brokers. and the amount is being constantly reduced as investors who did not buy at the time the stock was first offered for subscrip- tion purchased shares for the purpose of holding them.
 Several New York curb houses have had special letters on this stock re- gently, all recommending it's purchase. The feature that seems to be most at tractive to them is that the Coca Cola company is we'll established enterprise, with a long record of satisfactory earn ings, while most of the speculative stock brought out is capitalized on the basis of what it is hoped to accomplish in the future rather than past performance.
 The organization of the board of di- rectors of the Coca-Cola company was recently completed and the board is TOW composed of the following:
 w s. Woodruff, president of the Trust company of Georgia E. W. Stetson. vice president of the Guaranty Trust com pany, s. c. Dobbs, Atlanta c. H. Can dler. Atlanta: Harold Hirsch, Atlanta; E. " R. Thayer, president of the Chase National bank: w. C. Bradley, Column bus, Ga: Louis K. Liggett, president Of the Louis K. Liggett company: w. F. McCaw, president of Proctor & Gamble Distributing company; T. K. Glenn, president of the Atlantic Steel company; James H. Nunnally, president of the Nunnally company; Robert w. Atkins Boston, Mass; Merrill H. Callaway of the Guaranty Trust company; w. c. D'Arcy St. Louis Mo.
 In connection with the statement that the new company expects to largely in crease the business formerly done, the appearance of the name of Louis K. Liggett among the directors is very in- teresting. Mir. Liggett is president of the United Drug company, which owns the entire common stock of the Louis K. Liggett company with it's chain of drug stores and soda fountains in all the inn

Weekly Dry Goods
By Associated Press

New York September 27.-Gray cotton goods markets have been active and prices have showed a steady recovery. Many print cloth yarn goods are again selling at or above the government level of prices of last year. Some contracting for print cloth and sheeting deliveries into next year has been done, but most of the trading has been in spots or goods for delivery to the end of the year.
 Resistance to price advances is more marked and where mills demanded sharp advances on late contracts some large buyers withdrew their orders. Colored cottons and many of the branded lines of merchandise sold through the jobbing trades did not recede in price much when more speculative merchandise declined and they are now holding very steady
 Mills still have many goods to deliver on orders placed some time ago. produc- tion still being subnormal, and there be- ing little chance of increasing it in the near future
 Wage troubles seem to be increasing again in some of the textile manufactur- ing districts.
 Finishing plants have all the work in hand they can take care of, then out put being restricted by general condi- tions, and this is tending toward less ened contracting for long future ship ment
 Fear that the steel trade troubles may affect the automobile trades and thus hold up delivery on many cotton goods had not been translated into real delay in shipments.

Chicago. September 27.-week- adjustment of trades led 10 substan- tial advance today in the value of new crop deliveries of corn but September showed weakness. The market closed unsettled, A cents net lower to 3h gain. Oats finished l E to 2Bc up, and provisions varying from 40 cents de- cline to a rise of $1.50.
 General coverings of the part of shorts in December and May corn kept those months on the upgrade through out the session. On the other hand, the smallness of the September deliveries and the Iightness of offerings tended 10 make shorts uneasy as to whether new crop supplies would come forward freely.
 Oats displayed independent strength IS a result of enlarged seaboard in- quiry supposed to be for Scandinavian countries.
 Provisions ranged higher with grain and hogs. Packers bought lard
