How to Fry Eggs.
Not long ago the writer learned
how eggs should be fried to be sat
isfactory. Many1 otherwise good
cooks often spoil eggs in cooking,
but if one follows these directions,
they will be found to be very simple
indeed. Take an iron frying pan, in
which has been 'melted some fat,
such as butter or bacon drippings
in fact any desired fat may be used
and heat it. Do not let the pan
get too hot Only hot enough so
that the eggs will not stick. Almost
as soon as the eggs are dropped in,
the frying pan should be moved to a
cooler place of the range. Cover
closely and after a moment or two
put in a tablespoon or more of boil
ing water and let it stand until the
tops of the eggs are evenly cooked.
Every egg top should be white and
soft without turning.

Experts Endorse
Cantilever Shoes
The National Y. W. C. A., in the
interest of the health and comfort
of its 400,000 members, made- an
exhaustive study of correct foot
wear for women. They reported in
favor nf a kViaa wrnnh fina Ml nn
inner sole line following the line of)
the foot; (2) room for the toes
without crowding; (3) broad heel;
(4) flexible shank allowing action
of arch muscles.
All these are distinguishing feci'
tures of Cantilever Shoes
The Board of Police Surgeons of
New York made an independent in
vestigation, and their report also
recommends the flexible shank shoe.
"The stiff shoe does not permit free
play of the muscles, which become
cramped, weak and wasted." In
contrast, a flexbile shank shoe al
lows the foot to exercise and the
arch muscles to grow strong. Can
tilever Shoes correct fallen arches.
NOT ASKING ONE
CENT ON WATERED
STOCK-DAVIDSON
Nebraska Power Company
Head Says R. B. Howell Is
Trying to Confuse Public.
The Police Surgeons' Report em
phasizes the fact that the toes J
should point straight ahead and that
the arch, which bears the weight of
the body, should be supported at the
heel, the big toe and the outside
of the foot. In Cantilever Shoes the
natural inner sole line and the tilted
heel encourage correct position of
the foot, and proper distribution of
tho weight.
These shoes are good-looking, as
well as "correct" and very comfort
able. Made in the popular leathers,
with moderately high heels and low
heels.

J." E. Davidson, general manager
of the Nebraska Power Company,
Saturday, made the following reply
to a statement made by R. B.
Howell, manager of the Gas Plant,
printed in the papers, in which Mr.
Howell tried to make the people
believe the Power Company is seek
ing returns on "watered stock."
Following is Mr. Davidson's
statement: , "R. B. Howell, man
ager of the gas plant, again ap
peared in print with his pet talk
about 'watered stock' the only
bet left to a public politician-agitator
in putting any proposition to
the public to further his own in
terests. "I want to go on record right
now that the Nebraska Power Com
pany does not want one cent on
'watered stock.'
"Let Mr. Howell put this in his
pipe and smoke it.
"I hope you get me clear and
clean I say to you again that the
Nebraska Power Company is not
seeking a return on 'watered stock,'
but a fair return on the fair valua
tion of its property.
Increase Gas Rates.
"Mr. Howell plays the 'watch
dog' .of the treasury in one breath
and in the next breath he increases
the price of your gas almost double
and . then cuts down the heating
units of the gas.
"Meanwhile he attacks the Ne
braska Power Company when we
apply for a moderate increase in
rates based almost in its entirety
on the same increases in costs
which Mr. Howell said caused him
to increase the cost of gas.
"Mr. Howell, because the gas
plant is municipally owned, merely
took the increase he thought he
needed. When we could carry the
load of additional costs no longer
we had to apply to the city commis
sion for relief.
Open and Above Aboard.
"We made our application for an
increase open and above board. We
turned over our figures to the com
missioners; let them have our
books, and examine our employes.
We only asked them for a fair re
turn on a fair valuation of our
property. Nothing could be more
fair.
"Mr. Howell is well aware that
'watered stock' and 'capitalization'
have no relation to the question of
rates. It is all a question of valua
tion. The United States Supreme
Court and the Nebraska Supreme
Court have handed down opinions
in which they have settled this
point conclusively.
"I hope that you understand that
we don't ask one cent on 'wa
tered stock.' We desire only what
we justly deserve a fair return on
a fair valuation of our property."
