N TY DEAR PEGGY: What would you think if WI were to tell you that Birmingham has to her ~ credit hotel which is turning away from it's doors every week hundreds and hundreds of people for the lack of room to accommodate them?
 This is the high standard of excellence to which "Mine Host H. I. Barclay who THE FLORENCE HOTEL has brought this hostelry and doesn't it show that he is Number One' hotel man to be able to do so?
 In short this same Mr. Barclay has done wonderful piece of work in his management of THE FLORENCE HOTEL. Only few short months ago Cat least it seems only that MT; Barclay assumed the manage ment of THE FLORENCE. He went into this big hotel

Big Business in Fish


Five more big steel ira wlers, n addition
to the wooden trawlers bull 1t at Portland,
are to be added to the fleet of East Coast
Fisheries Company, doing business at
Kockland, Me. These boats are either
under construction or con tracted for with
steel shipbuilders in New York and n
the Great Lakes. Already the East Coast
Fisheries Company, of which l. M. Taylor
is the president, has had five wooden
trawlers built by the Portland Shipbuild-
ing Company and the Portland Company
at this port, while sixth is now being
constructed in the plant of the Portland
Shipbuilding Company at South Portland.
II is also understood that the East Coast
Fisheries Company are negotiating for
the purchase of large number of British
trawlers, and it is expected that they will
have the largest fleet of steam fishing
craft on the Atlantic coast.
Inc East Coast Fisheries Company has
completed another extremely important
deal IN the purchase of the Atlantic
wharf, the shipyard occupied by the
Francis Cobb Shipbuilding Co. and the
strip OF land which extends from those
properties back to Atlantic street, and
southwark to Maine Central wharf.
The wharf and shipyard property were
owned principally by the Francis Cobb
, Shipbullding Co., one quarter being own
ed by the Rockland & Rockport Lime Co.
The Francis Cobb Shipbuilding Co. will
not be disturbed in it's occupancy of the
shlpyard for some time to come, it was
stated Yesterday, and will continue per-
manently in the shipbuilding business. A
government barge was launched from the
yard last Saturday. Work is also in prog
ress there on four masted schooner.
The French trawler M. F. B. arrived
Saturday last, being piloted ill from Ma
tinicus by William Smith The craft is
larger than the Pelican, and had on board
about 400, 600 pounds of dried fish. These
are being discharged at the Donohue
plant, as the Messer wharf was not quite
in readiness. Meantime contractor Ever
EFT l.. Spear is making good progress on
the frame building 7Ox25O feet, which
will be used for handling fish on the Mes
ser wharf.
The big trawler Pelican has brought
four fares of fish to Rockland, the ag-
gregate weight of which was 1000, 600
pounds.

EGG SUBSTITUTES.

The so-called egg substitutes which,
under various trade names are being sold
to housewives, will in no sense take the
place of eggs in baking or cooking, say
the specialists of the Bureau of Chemis-
try, United States Department of Agri-
culture. They have analysed and made
baking tests with most of the prepara-
lions which are claimed by manufacture
ers to do the work of eggs.
These preparations are sold usually in
small packages containing from l to
ounces and priced at from 10 to IS nts
a package. 1t is claimed that each pack
age will take the place of from IL to 48
eggs. If these preparations would take
the place of or do the work of even l
dozen eggs, their purchase would help to
reduce the high cost of living, but unfor-
tunately for those who are misled by the
alluring claims on the labels or in adver-
tisements, they do not do the work of
eggs in baking or in cooking.
The average price paid by the consul
mer for the so-called egg substitutes is
approximately cents an ounce or at the
rate of about 81 pound. Since these
products consist essentially of starch or
powdered cereal product such as wheat
flour, sometimes artificially colored yell
low to initiate the appearance of eggs the
consumer pays price far in excess of
their food value or intrinsic worth.
Baking tests showed that cakes made
with these so-called egg substitutes are
inferior to cakes made with water in
place of the substitute, otherwise using
the same recipe, are not nearly so good as
cakes made with milk, and in no measure
are comparable with cakes made with
eggs. There is no doubt, say the special
lists, that most of these products do not
really resemble eggs, neither can they
take the place of eggs in baking and
cooking, and further they do not serve
any purpose in baking and cooking which
is not equally served by the ordinary
products daily used in the household.
A distinction should be made by the
consumer between dried egg preparations,
dried egg powders, and the like, which
consist entirely or mainly real eggs in
powdered form, and the so-called egg
substitutes which contain little or no egg
in any form. Real egg powders, properly
prepared, will answer most purposes of
shell eggs in baking and cooking.

If the splendid sentiments in patriotic
appeals, made by the oh eff executive of
the nation, were directed toward the
American people right here at home, we
verify believe that by them, normal con-
ditions would be restored.
1t seems to us bit of unwisdom to
hammer away so furiously in the defense
and behalf of peace in Europe when there
are sucl fragrant manifestations of I'M
rest at home. Standing on the edge of a
crater of seething volcano, preaching
peace and safety for foreign countries
and their people, while seismic disturb
ances within give evidence of ultimate
disruption, seems to US far fetched and
untimely.-Savannah (Ga) journal.
The safety and protection of foreign
peoples and nations should be secondary
consideration while these alarming con-

The directors of the Central Maine
Power Company have voted to proceed
at once with the erection of a modern
power house of 1900 kilowatt capacity
at Skowhegan.
This development of power has become
necessary because of the steady increase
in the demand for power in the territory
served by the company.
The directors voted to declare the regu-
lar quarterly dividend of one and one-half
per cent. on the six per cent. preferred
stock, the regular quarterly dividend of
one and three-fourths per cent. on the
seven per cent. preferred stock and a
dividend of one per cent. on the common
stock.
This is the first dividend which the
holders of the common stock have ever
received.

lowing the fatal stabbing of his
roommate, Frank Abadea, nineteen,
Bartola Concosta, thirty-six, commit
ted suicide by placing his head be-
meath the wheels of the Springfield
express in the local freight yards. The
crime occurred at a boarding house.
Abadea had planned to leave
Bridgeport for New York, from where
he intended to sail for his home in
Spain. During the past few days
according to evidence from neighbors
of the men, Concosta had seemingly
been grief stricken because Of the
intended departure of his friend. 1t
is believed by the police that the
prospects Of having to remain alone
in this country caused him to be-
come mentally unbalanced.
The murder was discovered by
other inmates of the rooming house,
who hearing groans found Abadea
dying from a dozen stab wounds. A
general alarm was sent out by the
police for ConcostA. Two hours later
the police were informed that q man
had been seen to dart toward the
railroad tracks i nthe freight yards,
kneeI down and place his head on
the rail directly in the path OF an on
coming train which ran over him be-
fore it was possible for the engineer
TO stop. Investigation disclosed that
