There are three phases of war
work in which every American citi-
zen must share. First, to do our
part at home i'll economy and atten-
ton to the needs of our country; sec
ond, to help care for our army
abroad; third, TO help in the relief
work both at home and abroad.
Three years of war have made in
describable want, suffering and de-
vastation in Belgium and Northern
France.
In Dorchester county the school
children are doing their bit for the
destitute children of France. For
the past six weeks almost every
school in the county has been Dusy
making garments for the homeless
and parentless children abroad for
whom the American Fund for
French Wounded are caring in CO.
operation with the American Red
Cross.
A letter was sent to the school
children of III ecounty by the Super
visor, Miss Williamson, calling the
children's attention to the suffering
of children in Northern France and
telling what could be done to assist
in the relief work abroad. The re-
Spouse from teachers and children
has been most generous and prompt.
Each school has been thoroughly
happy in providing its box. Some of
the ways by which different schools
have raised the money to buy materl-
ais with would be most interesting to
hear about The garments nave
been made by the pupils when posi-
BILE and even the boys have proved
most efficient knitters.
Two cases have already been sent
and only portion of the contribu-
lions have come in. A display OF
some Of the work done by the school
children will be shown in the win
dows OF LeCompte & Harper's store
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
If there is any man or woman IN
Dorchester county who is Stacker
in helping the struggle for democ-
racy, there is one thing sure, the
children are doing their part in max
ing the name Of America loved and
honored by the people of France. 1t
is wonderful to be able to bring
fresh courage and hope to a people
who have suffered beyond all des-
| cription and at Christmas time send
them a bit of American sympathy
and understanding in their trouble.
A list of schools and teachers
| helping in the work will be publish
ed later, when all contributions are
received.

PRESERVE EGGS AND
BEAT OLD II. C. L.

All signs point to eggs being costly
next winter but to meet the situation
the housewife can preserve eggs In
various ways and thus "beat' the
market. says today's bulletin from the
National Emergency Food Garden
cooperating with this paper in q ma
tion-wide campaign to conserve the
food Of the country. The commission
will send its drying and canning man
uals to any reader of this paper who
sends a two cent stamp to 210 Mary
land building at Washington, D.. G.
Use only strictly fresh, clean, UNI
washed and solid shelled eggs for put
ting down. Discard any egg which
floats in the water glass solution pre-
pared to the directions herewith. For
home preservation Eggs may be pack
ed in salt oats or bran. Cover them
with paraf1n, butter or lard or m
merse, in brine, lime. water, water
glass, etc. The methods commonly
used are immersion in either lime wa
ter or water glass.
slack three pounds Of lump lime in a
little water and add three gallons OF
pure water. Stir occasionally for a
day, let settle and then pour off the
clear liquid. Washed eggs will not
keep.
Water glass is soluble sodium
silicate and should be obtained as
pure as possible. This should be used
with pure cold boiled water in the
to nine parts of water. Should eggs
tend to float and it is known that
they are absolutely fresh add a little
cold boiled water to the solution.
Water glass may be purchased at drug
stores and Is preferable to lime water.
Three gallons of either will preserve
about twenty dozen eggs. A gallon of
the pure water glass. diluted as above
will preserve about ninety dozen.
Any glass, wooden or earthenware
receptacle may be used but not metal.
Pack eggs small end down and pour
liquid over them and keep two Inches
Of preservative above eggs at all
times. Cover receptacle with waxed
paper or paraffln cloth. Wash eggs in
cold water after taking them out for
use.

That is the way Jane felt when she
appreciated the fact that h must re-

The thin consommes and bouillons
were forthwith banished. They cost
too much and did not fill up sufficient
ly. Their place must be taken by
broths, purees, chowders and other
thick soups. This change was the
easier because James family, like the
majority Of eaters, really preferred
soups Of this kind and were only sup
ported in their consumption of the
watery varieties by the knowledge
that such were considered more ele-
CANT and also that they did not take
