HOW To PRESERVE EGGS
BY A. C. Page Of the College Of Agrl.
culture, University of
Missouri.

With all our talk about cold stor-
age eggs, we are glad to see them ap.
pear la the winter, and relieve the mo.
notony Of things eatable. The bust
ness Of storing all kinds OF perlshable
foods for the winter months has grown
TO great proportions, and Is now an
important industry.
Most of the practices of cold stor.
age involves the use of expensive ap-
paratus and specially built storage
rooms. For the farmer. however, who
would like to keep eggs over on a
small scale, there Is a method which
is cheap and very satisfactory. The
chemist is responsible for this method
1t involves the use of 'waterglass,
which Is a peculiar compound of so
dunn and silica. 1t is about what as
name implies, looking like glass, yet
being soft paste. EGGS, when sur
rounded by this material, will keep in
definitely. Some OF the experiment
stations have kept them thus for two
or even three years.
Eggs which are to be stored should
be selected for their good shape and
freshness and put In layers In clean
Jars. A layer of eggs should be put In

MUNYON'S Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxativcs or cathartcs. Ihey
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they DO
not grippe. they do not weaken, but they
do start all the sccrctons OF the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in n healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constitution is responsible for most all
ments There are 20 feet OF human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes cloggcd the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing bliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any hver
aiment can expect TO have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II

Of nine tenths of the cathartcs that are
now being sold for the reason that they
noon destroy the lining OF the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatiyes.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach. liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead Of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoyeriaf
il; they enable the stomach to get al
the nourishmcnt from food that is put
into it.

May 10 to May 80, depending on the
weather conditions.
The periodical ciCada is the longest

on but the majority of its life is
spent in maturing. II lives in the adult
state for only about a month, then dis
appears as rapidly as II came. As
soon as a female deposits all her eggs
she drops to the ground and is eaten
by other insects.
The male cicadas have a pair oil

the hind wings. With these they are
able to make a very loud and pen"

confined to certain regions and which

IN these regions.
The brood that will appear in this

as brood XXlIl and is OF the 1S.year

the case with eggs packed In lime and

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHING

when my little girl was about
eight months old, she was taken with
a very irritating breaking out, which
came on her face, neck and back.
When she first came down with it, it
came in little watery-like testers under
her eyes, and on her chin, then after
a few days it would dry down in scaly,
white scabs. In the daytime she was
quite worrysome and would dig and
scratch her face nearly all the time.
Il consulted our physician and found
she was suffering from eczema, which
he said came from her teething. l

without any relief at all Then /

chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
