Last Saturday there was fire on Conner ton street, and someone telephoned to Engine Co. No. 3 that there was fire on what was understood at the lire house as Carleton street. The fireman answering the telephone re- pcatcd the name Of the street three times and each time he received an affirmative answer The company immediately set out for Carleton street but were unable 10 discover fire there. In the meantime an alarm was sent in from box 6S, and the department responded to Conner ton street where they found a lively blaze in progress Had the alarm been sent in from the box in the first place there would have been hardly any damage done but as it was, No. 3's went out on q wild goose chase to Carleton street and the fire which was in reality on Connerton street, had chance to spread and about sl, 1000 damage was done. So, if the people will send in alarms from the fire boxes instead of trying to tele- phone, there will be less chance of 2onflagrations in this city"

USE FIRE BOXES

Many Mistakes Made in Names Of Streets--Fire Chief Makes Appeal

Fire Chief William Noble wishes to call the attention Of the people of the city to the necessity of sending in bell alarms instead of teIephoning to the different companies calls to fires. During the past few weeks there have been a number of cases where several persons have telephoned to individual fire houses with the news that fire was in progress in certain places, and due to the excitement of the person making the call, the names of the streets were not made plain and the engine company answering the still alarm has reported at the wrong street.
 Serious Results From Mistakes.
 Besides the damage by wear and tear to the apparatus such mixups are liable to have serious results be- cause Of the delay in finding where the fire really is. When a bell alarm is turned in, the companies know exactly where to go in answer 10 it, and there is very little chance of any mistake being made
 Chief Noble Makes Appeal
 There is no need" said Chief Noble, "of anyone taking the time to telephone to the fire houses when there is a fire, because the fire de- partment is at the service of the pub lie of the city, and should be called by an alarm from fire box. Some people think that because the fire

EGGS QUITE USEFUL
FOOD FOR CHILDREN
If Overlooked They Are Likely to
Cause Indigestion.
Best Ways of Serving Them for Young
People Are Poached, Soft Boiled
or Codded-They May Be
Scrambled for Change.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Eggs are especially useful food for
young children. The chief point to re-
member in preparing them for chill
dren is that they must not be over
cooked for such are likely to cause
Indigestion, say food specialists in the
United States Department of Agrieul-
ture. Every one knows how the heat
Of cooking hardenS the egg, and it is
easy to understand why the digestive
juices might have difficulty in pene-
trating such hard substance as the
white of a hard-boiled egg. over
cooked yolks are also thought to be
hard to digest. However, when eggs
ere cooked in the shell, the heat
reaches the white before it does the
yolk, and there Is more danger OF the
white being overlooked than Of the
yolk. The best ways of serving eggs
for children are poached, soft boiled,
or coddled, though they may be scram-
hled for change If one Is careful not

the egg.
Many means have been suggested
for cooking eggs in suck a way that
the yolks will be cooked and the
whites will not be overlooked One
of the most satisfactory is by coddling,
which Is done as follows. Allow a
cupful of water to each egg, bring the
water to the boiling point, remove IT
from the fire, put in the eggs, cover
the dish closely, and leave the eggs
IN the water for about seven minutes.
There is some uncertainty about this
method, for eggs differ in weight and
also In temperature at the time the
cooking begins. On the whole this
method can be more depended upon
than others. Good results can be OBJ
tanned by pouring hot water over
eggs, If the same dish with the same
amount of water Is always used but
each cook must make her own rules.
