customary measured slowness, the

New Way Of Preserving EGGS.

A new way of preserving eggs has
been practiced in Bavaria recently
which Is said to be satisfactory. The
eggs are placed in water OF a tempera-
ture OF about 95 degrees for a quarter
of an hour Then they are put on a
net. held for five seconds In boiling
water, and then, as quickly as pos
sible, removed into cold water. The
eggs, still wet. are laid on a clean
cloth and allowed to dry by exposure
to the air. They must not be dried
of with cloth or towel. When they
are dry they are packed in box with
bran and ground peat The box is
stored in cool place. out OF reach OF

son has grip. the air passages ara

feels tired and exhausted.
Peruna is a Tonic Laxative.
1t requires good tonic laxative to
keep the body Of the patient as strong
as possible to counteract the effect Of
the poisons created by the grip bacil-

laxative qualities is the safest rem

because they lessen the vitality of tho

There is no specific for the grip.
Peruna has been used with good
success in former grip epidemics. In
