Don't oxercook Eggs for Child.

Eggs are especially useful food for
young children. The chief point to re-

Why the digestive juices might have
difficulty in penetrating such hard sub

Overlooked yolks are also thought to

Rinse Out Javelie Water.

Javelle water, which can be made o,
home, is . good bleaching agent to use
In removing stains from white linen and
cotton when more simple methods fail
Obstinate stains made by clear coffet
and tea, fruits, or Ink, for instance, will
yield to an application Of this useful
liquid.
Javelle water should be applied only
to uncolored cotton or linen materials,
because 1t bleaches colors and rots silk
or wool. In treating stains with Javelie
water, stretch the stained portion over 4
bowl filed With water aud apply the
cine dropper. Do not allow the Javelle
water to remain In conE,ct with the
stain for moro than one minute. Apply
oxalic-acid solution to neutrslze the
Javelle water, and rinse by dipping the
stain In the bowl Of water.
II allowed to remain too long 10 con.
tact with the fibers, Javelle water rots
even linen and cotton materials, and II
should, therefore, always be neutralixed
With oxalic acid and the fabric rinsed

the Javelle water may have to be ap-
piled several times, but should be peu
tralixed with oxalic-scid solution after
each application.

The lightning rods handled BY Ar.

Of a chef In any Of the large New

Before he touches food, his hands are

Minor LEAGUE STARS
To BE, CUT OFF FROM
EXTRA COMPENSATION
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-Minor league
stars will be cut eff from extra COM
pensation in various forms under the
provisions of the 1922 players con-
tracts described in an official publica-
tion received here today from Secre-
tary John H. Farrell of the National
Association of Professional baseball
leagues.
No premiums for high batting rec
ords, extra home runs or unusual eff
fectiveness on the mound will be per
mitted, the announcement stated. The
contrct forms were drafted at the
recent minor league meeting at Buff
falo, but not announced then.
One of the chief provisions would
forbid players from claiming or re-
ceiving any portion of their purchase
price by another club. An additional
clause forhids the insertion of any ex-
ira conditions or the elimination of
any clauses in the form adopted by
the association.
Minor league magnates say the new
form will prevent players from block
ing deals by threatening to refuse a
transfer unless granted part of the
purchase money.
Players involved in sales or trades
this winter will have to make their
demands for part of the purchase
money before signing up for next year
it was pointed out by Minor league
magnates here.
The new clause reads: mo players
contracts for services in any league
shall be promulgated by the associa
ton except on the form provided and
no additional clauses shall be added to
said uniform contract, nor shall any
clauses be eliminated therefIom. Nc
player shall receive any bonus or ex
