ton for Months.

gallons is the best vessel for packing
down eggs for family use, but q tight

possibly spoil the entire lot.
Place the eggs in the Jar as they
are gathered and cover with a solu.
ton OF water glass (~siicate of soda)
one part to ten or fifteen parts OF
water. Cover the jar to prevent evap-
grafton. Water glass is an amber col
ored liquid which can be procured of
druggists or dealers in poultry sup

quart, or less by the gallon.

- n woman who does n ot belong to a club does not know the
pleasure n the profit she is missing. One has to belong to a club to fully
comprehend Justh much she gets out OF 1t. But there is one advantage
o always thought Of and the benefit of which Is really growing And
this Is that membership in q womans club gives one almost a national
acquaintance. 1t opens friendly doors In q strange city, brings advice and

for their turn to enter the White House,
as they now have to do.
