OGBURN"" BURIED IN WAKE COUNTY THE PRESIDENT'S EYES (From "Tattler's? Washingtoo Letter la 1 the Nation.) Behind nil the activities of the Presi dent in th present international crisis has stood, not so obscured by the shad ows as to escape the observation of the watchful, a smallish, soberly dressed gray man with a (lender figure, a long narrow fane, caution eyes, a high fore head, sparse hair, and a close-cropped moustache, under which the lower lip clamps tight against the upper, aa If the- mouth were., shut with a purpose. You might pas him twenty time in the street without noticing him,- nnd the only thing which would attract your at tention to him. indoors probably would be the atmosphere of quiet In venich he ia enveloped. He is practically noise less in his movements) not sly, or fur tive, but simply muscles if ha had formed in his childhood the habit of doing things in the way which would cause the fewest needless collisions and the least jar ; and, except to ask ques tion, he rarely leta fall a word among strangers. Thia ia the man whom one European journalist haa dubbed "the sphinx in the soft felt hat," another "the dumb missionary," a third our most accomplished expert "ia the delicate art of saying nothing," and a fourth "the friend, Inspirer, boss, and alter ego of President Wilson," and of whom the President himself has playfully.. said: "He is my eyes." To the great body of American who know him chjefly through the newspaper headline de scribing him as in conference at the White House, aa "Colonel House of Tes sa," he is about as much of a mystery as to the foreign commentators. There ia nothing really mysterious about Edward Mandell HMise except his military t;itle, which another Texan tells me was thrust upon him by a former Governor f their State who appointed him an aide-de-camp on hia staff with out so much a asking leave.' Had House been consulted, there is abundant reason to believe he would have declined to serve, aa it ia a sort of religion with him to hold no office, belong to "ao so cieties, attend no conventions, take ao part ia public meetings, and gcaorally to affao hia personality aa far aa possible, so a to have the mora of himself tie throw into whatever work h haa under taken to do. More than one Governor f Texaa haa owed hia elevation to the ahrewd and unadvertisrd tactics of CoL House, aad President Wilson has leaaed upon him constantly la the gravest emergencies. Ia this relation, Honae has played the part not only of ere, but of etlrs. .He 'baa done the moving about! IM PTU1, RUU M.l tOg. W It 1, m I9 fTO- dent could aot possibly do. When the President announces that what be is try ing to accomplish in the interpretation Into fart of the thoughts and wishes of the- voiceless multitude, it is Hons who Is acting as his medium for. learning what those thoughts r and wiahea are. Whether the voiceless multitude haa ah ways th wisest judgment in publi af fairs may be open to question; but that Hon. haa actually found out what that judgment la, aad conveyed it honestly to tb President, may aa fairly be ia fcrred from the result of last Novem ber's national election. Aad beyond a doubt the utterance of the President, ia his aotes to th belligerent Powers aad hi, recent addresses to Congress, were outgrowths of House' report to him of the state of the popular mlad abroad, a distinguished from h6ffieial mind.

This is stated ia a re cently published professional paper of th Offle of Horn Economic of tb United States Department of Agricul ture, Department Bulletia 471. It is pointed out, however, that whil this ia true of eggs vd M on ef th prin cipal dishe ef a meal, it often ia not tru of egg used in cakes, puddings, aad other desserts along with meats. It is la th latter as of eggs that th housewife, whose wishes tb economise, can try especially to curtain consump tion. A fact which make this latter practice easier la that with th present availability of baking powders, com starch, gelatin, ate., th use of egga to Impart lightness or to thicken liquid I not bow a essential as it was U tha past. . Th principal food element furnlahed by eggs is protein, the nitrogenous tissue-building element, whose presenoe in eoaiiJerabl proportions also- rive meat, fish, milk, cheese, etc., their spe cial food value. Eggs, therefore, can be substituted ia the diet for the tatter food without - materially altering the proportion of protein consumed Ia ad dition to protein, egg also furnish fat and a number of valueable mineral ele ments, including sulphur, phosphorus, iron. ' calcium, and magnesium, ia aa easily assimilable form, and ar (be lieved also to be rich in certain essen tial vitalising elements called vitamins. Like milk and unlike meats, egga do sot an lata .snhstancea convertible- -in the body Into -aria aei4 'i The4?aelbi constitute the only waste materials,' Ninety-seven per cent of th portion eatem a high proportion compared to other foods is digested. . No extended cooking Is necessary for eggs, and there is, therefore, a saving of time, labor, aad fuel in their preparation when they ar compered with many other food. For all these .reasons eggs deserve aa important place in the diet for use at time in place of other foods rich in protein, provided egg prices are aot so high as to outweigh the other eonaider ation. Though wholesome when fresh and dean, eggs may be decidedly unwhole some when old or dirty. The housewife should be careful when buying, there fore, to choose eggs which are as clean and fresh ss possible. Similarly, the producer of eggs should keep nests clean and sanitary and should collect eggs frequently. It i also well to in sure the production of eggs with good keeping qualitits by producing only la fertile eggs after the hatching season. In addition to cleanliness and fresh ness, th housewife when purchasing eggs should consider, slxt and freedom from cracks. ' Egg vary so in size that dozen large and a 'doxen (mail egg purchased at the same price per dosen may differ a much aa 89 per cent In the value of fht food element furnish ed. ' Perhaps the fairest way to buy or ell eggs is by weight. 'Because of the wide variations in the sise of eggs, it'll also coming to Ve recognized that more accurate- results In recipes can be. ob tained by weighing or measuring the eggs -on. of their sheila.
