EGGS TREATED
TO KEEP FRESH
DURING STORAGE

The United States Department of
Agriculture has discovered how to
seal up the pores in the shell of an
egg SO ii will retain much of its
fresh quality when in cold storage.
In recent investigations the food
research division of the Bureau
of Chemistry and Soils found that
fresh eggs dipped in oil and sub
jected to carbon dioxide gas in
vacuum will retain practically all
of their original moisture and car
bon dioxide. impairment of quality
generally results when these two
constituents are lost.
T. L. Swcnson. bacterioiogist, who
devised the new process, dips the
eggs in oil in an alright chamber,
then pumps out some of the air TO
create partial vacuum. Some air
escapes from the eggs also. Sven
son. then turns carbon dioxide into
the vessel. The eggs once more sur
rounded by gases of normal pres
sure. draw some of the oil into the
pores of the shell to form COM
plete seal Carbon dioxide probably
is carried in with the oil. which ac-
counts for the marked improvement
in quality which follows its use.
Some western egg handlers re-
Gently have been treating large
numbers of eggs for storage by dip
ping them in oil IN open vessels. In
comparative tests. Swenson found
that m-dipped and carbon
ated eggs lost only one-tenth Of /
per cent of weight during 10 months
in storage, when the dipped
eggs lost sixteen times as much. Un-
treated eggs lost nearly seventy
seven times as much weight as the
vacuum treated eggs. This loss is
moisture and carbon dioxide chiefly.
When the eggs were taken out OF
storage an expert grader classed
them on the basis of standard mar
ket grades. None of the unoiled
eggs were good enough for the two
top classes and only 80 per cent OF
the open dipped eggs were SO class
ed But 46 per cent Of the vacuum
oiled eggs came within these special
and extra grades.

ter 10 months in storage compares
favorably with that of 2-day-old

BISHOP CANNON AND DIR. WILSON
 AND THE ROOSEVELTS.

Bishop Cannon and pr. Clarence True Wilson, self-appointed political dictators, have declared against the nomination of Gov. Roosevelt by the Democrats for President. He won't do they say, because he is wet These eminent busybody divines have warned the Republicans that they must renominate Vice President Curtis, very poti- caly dry Under no circumstance will they permit the Republican nomination for Vice-President of young Theodore Roosevelt. He, like his Democratic distant relative Franklin is also wet.
 There is however, apparent difference in the attitude of Democrats and Republicans toward the advice of these who would make govern ment side-show of their churches The more they rave against Gov. Roosevelt for the Democratic nomination the greater appears to be his popularity within his party. On the other hand, there seems to be a disposition among Republican leaders to listen to their demands

ALASKA ELKS
 PLANNING FOR
 NEXT SESSION

The Alaska Elks received much attention during the recent con- vention in Seattle. Following is comment clipped from the news papers.
 Says Messerschmidt
 It will be only about 6000-mile trip, but Alaska Elks will have a good-sized delegation at the Birm- ingham, Ala, convention next year, according to Henry Messerschmidt of Juneau, district deputy grand exalted ruler.
 Messerschmidt was one of the committee of Northern Bills" who arranged for the totem pole uni form for the convention parade.
 We are sure glad it was cool for the parade he said, those uni forms are every bit as hot as they look"
 Honorable Mention
 Alaska had one of the most amazingly costumed entries in the procession. The Alaskans marched as animated totem poles and they proved a tremendous attraction, but they could only receive an honor able mention because they did not represent any one lodge.
 Says Dr. Council
 pr. w. w. Council, president of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, said that if he had gone home earlier we would have seen the 'lynching" party near the Elks Club the other morning.
 Says Shepard
 H. R. Shepard of Juneau says one of the Alaska Brothers, un- accustomed to warm weather, slept on the lawn at his apartment hotel the other night, and the manager collected green fees in the morning.

Calendar Reform.
Manchester Guardian)


 preparatory committee at Geneva has been examining the question of calendar reform, which will be dealt with further by a general conference summoned by the League next October The obJec- tions to reform of the Gregoran calendar (which has been used since 1892 mainly religious. Business men in America have for many years been in favor of a year of thirteen equal months of twenty eight days This would mean, unfortu- nately an extra or blank" day every year. The earth happens to revolve round the sun in 365 days hours and 49 minutes. Religious authorities, and especially the Jewish rabbis, object to the fact that the extra day would upset the cycle of the week There is also the objection that a year of thirteen months would not be easily divisiole. The half year would occur, for example, after 612 months It would also be confusing to make com parisons between future and past dates-between July POOL and July, 1901,-or between future sea- sons (and references great literature to seasons under the Gregorian calendar. On the whole, how ever, the convenience of having months which would consist of an equal number of days, beginning Gas happened in February this year) on Sunday and ending on Saturday, would be great. The idea Of reform has made headway during the last ten years and ardent reformers now hope for the in troducton of a new calendar at the beginning Of 1884 There is also a growing opinion in favor or fixing Easter on the Sunday following the second Saturday in April At the conference at Geneva in October it will be possible to distinguish between common sense and prejudice in the arguments which may be brought forward on either side

The Children of Porto Rico.
Cincinnati Enquirerl

No more appealing example of charitable effort could be found than the work of the Porto Rico Child Feeding Committee. The young American citizens of this island are the innocent victims of poverty and i'll health due in part to the series of catastrophies that have struck the island and in part to the unfavorable economic policy forced upon the island by the American Congress.
 In these circumstances the work of the com mittee is more than opportunity for American aid-it is a responsibility of the American people. Just now the committee is feeding 42,0oO Porto Rican children and it's funds are exhausted Turn ing to the people of the continental United States Governor Theodore Roosevelt has made an urgent plea for assistance It would be grave misfortune indeed if his request should fail to win substan- tial response among Americans who arc able to contribute.

Banking at home is good business. Talk

 good life preserver.-( Port Angeles News)
 The foregoing is the wise conclusion of an ed- toral in the Port Angeles News which was inspired by the recent failure of two large investment and savings institutions in Seattle
 The Port Angeles paper says the promises of larger returns have ured many thousands of dollars from Port Angeles into building and loan savings concerns and into highly speculative ventures. Among the latter it lists a company that was organized to retrieve money and vsuables that had gone down with ships into the deep sea. The thousands have been lost.
