STANF|ELD ABSENT
5 MONTHS NOW

WASHINGTON. June 3d. wash
ington Bureau of the Journal.) Sen
ator Stanfield wants to close dcbate
on the tariff bill BY authority of a
telegram received from him at Veiser,
Idaho, Senator McNary has signed
Stanfield's name to the petition for
cloture which republican leaders are
preparing to present to the senate,
Stanfield has not heard word OF
the debate which he desires to have
closed. The tariff bill was made the
unfinished business of the senate on
April 26, but the Oregon senator's alb
sence from his duties at the capitol
dates hack to April /. 1t is three
months since the senator's genial
countenance was seen by his col
leagues. Since then the republican
leader and the republican whip and
the republican senators in caucus as
sembed have demanded the return Of
all absentees who were not sick in or
der to keep a quorum and speed the
tariff bill This has had its effect in
every case except that of the junior
senator from Oregon, who has ignored
all appeals.
1t is recalled that Stanfield's cam
paign for election was based largely
on the need of a republican senator to
stand up for protection.
Repeatedly reports have come that
he was about to return and the pre-
diction lis now made that he will yet
arrive in time to vote on the wool
schedule two or three weeks hence.

Department of Agriculture experts.
All you need, they say, is paste

light such as is given by a lamp or an
electric-light bulb a dark room and,
of course the egg.
Hold the egg close against the hole,
The strong light will render its con-
tents visible, and you can ascertain
the eggs quality by the appearance of
the yolk, the white and the air space
at the blunt end. Theil compare the
egg with charts furnished by the De-
.partment of Agriculture and YOU will
know, without breaking the esq,
whether or not it is fresh.
This process is known as testing
eggs by cnndling.s
