ter product than weaker solution
and would not deposit sediment,
thereby gradually losing strength,
as the stronger solution did.
The cost Of preserving eggs in a
water-glass solution of the strength
just described, exclusive of the cost
of the containers, would be less than
| cent per dozen. Water glass can
be obtained of any wholesale drug
firm at a cost of about 10 cents per
pound, and a pound Of it properly
diluted should be sufficient to cover
IL or IS dozen eggs, the exact
amount required depending upon the
size and shape of the container.
Any vessel which will hold water
and which can be covered tightly
enough to prevent evaporation will
do as container for eggs put up in
this way. Stone jars are preferable,
as they are very easily cleaned and
prevent evaporation almost perfect
ly. Wooden kegs can be used,
but in case this is done care must be
observed to see that the solution
does not become too strong on ac-
count of the water absorbed from
l
the solution by the keg.
The following directions for pack
ing eggs in water glass are given:
Use only perfectly fresh eggs.
Stale eggs will not keep by any
method of preservation. Clean out
the vessel in which the eggs are to
be packed preferably a stone jar)

Prepare the solution, using water
that has been first boiled and then
cooled to ordinary temperature.

PRESERVING EGGS.

As r. w. Thatcher in recent
bulletin of the Washington Station
says, "the desirability of some SIM
pie, cheap, and satisfactory method
of preserving eggs is apparent to
everyone. A method of this sort
which would enable farmers, poul-
trymen, and consumers to put away
eggs in the summer, when they are
plentiful and comparatively cheap,
and preserve them until the winter
season, when they are scarce and
high in price, would be of very
great value" A large number of
methods have been suggested, but
only two or three have proved prac-
teal or satisfactory for general use
Of these the water-glass method,
using 5 and 10 per cent. solutions,
and limewater salt-brine mixture
method q pound Of quicklime, half
pound of salt, and gallon of boiled
water) were tested by Professor
Thatcher. He found that eggs can
be kept in good condition for home
use at least eight months by i'm
mersing them in a water-glass solu-
ton or in limewater and salt brine,
altho those preserved in water glass
appeared to come out in better con-
dition than those kept in the lime
and salt mixture.
Other experimenters have sue
ceeded in keeping eggs to their en-
tire satisfaction in solutions of wa
ter glass as dilute of 5 per cent,
but the authors experience was that
a stronger solution gave a better
preservation. It seems probable
that solution halfway between the
two which were used, in strength,
would be better than either of these.

Each days gathering of eggs may
be packed Immediately after gath

er sections of the state, during the
summer months, the temperature
often rises high enough to start

tiles eggs must be packed soon after
they are laid or kept in some cool
place until they are to be packed.
Water glass is somewhat alkaline
liquid, but the diluted solution is
not injurious to the hands if they
are dipt into it in packing successive
gatherings of eggs, or in removing
the eggs from the solution.

to know, at the same time that. at
twenty different points in as many

Thus writes W. II. Hodge in the Tech

The battle was waged and won with

Frederick A. Busse is the first execu
tive of Chicago to be chosen for term
of four years and likewise the first to
have the very profitable privilege of col
lecting $4,000 every twelve months for
his services. The issues between the Re
publicans and the Democrats were as dis
tinctly drawn as widely differing plat
form declarations could make them. Chief
est of the contentious was traction. The
Republicans declared for the adoption of
the ordinances as passed by the City
Council over the veto of Mayor Dunno,
while the Democrats urged their defeat.

Invaluable curative properties of the pills
that have made them a standard remedy

Added to this is the absolute guarantee
that the pills contain no harmful drug,
opiate, narcotic or stimulant. A recent
evidence of their efficacy is found in the
statement of Mrs. n. B. Whitley, of
Boxley, Ark, who says:
Il had suffered for good many years
from stomach trouble. For long time
I was subject to bad spells of faintness
and lack of breath accompanied by an
Undesirable feeling that seemed to
start in my stomach. Whenever was
a little rundown or over-tired, these
spells would come on. They occurred
frequently but did not last very long.
81 was confined to my bed for ten
weeks one time and the doctor pro-
nounced my trouble chronic infamma-
ton of the stomach and bowels. Since
that time I have been subject to the
fainting spells and at other times to fut-
tering of the heart and a feeling as
though / was smothering. My general
health was very bad and I was weak and
trembling.
II had seen DR.. Williams Pink Pills
mentioned in the newspapers and de-
cided to try them. When began taking
the pills was so rundown in strength
that | could hardly do any homework.

made and we always recommend the
pills to our friends"

The alleged spirit messages from the
late DR.. Richard Uodgson to his living
friend and former co-worker. Prof. Hys-
lop. through the medumship of Mrs.
Piper of Boston. are described by DR..
Isaac Funk. the New York publisher. in
his book, The Psychic Riddle Dr..
Funk says the subject is one that should
not be scoffed at. The spirit of Hodgson
is believed to have talked to Mrs. Piper
while she was in the trance state and
wrote what was said on sheets of paper
in Hyslop's presence. One message says
1T is delightful to go through the cool
ethereal atmosphere and shake off the
mortal body" The spirit said further
that during his effort to communicate
to the living he felt as if in a stuffy at
mosphere or as if going into a place of
foul smells. DR.. Funk believes that we
are in the presence of "a scientific dem
onstration of a future life" if Hyslop is
right about these messages being received.
He, Funk, has no doubt now that I'm
