HELP UNCLE SAM BY PRESERVING EGGS!

Woman's most important work in
wartime is doing the thing which is
nearest at hand. Conserving the ma
tion's food supply is work which is
always at hand. 1t can be practic.
ed three times day and at irregu-
lar intervals in the week, in the way
OF storing or packing food for future
use.
April, May and June make the great
egg producing season of the year. This
is the time for all those who keep
hens to preserve the surplus stock
OF eggs for next fall and winter. And
1t is often wise for housewives who
buy eggs to invest in dozens of the
strictly fresh kind. at spring prices
and store them against coming II. C.
of Lcrisis.
The quality of the eggs laid in the
spring is better than at any other
time of the year. In other months
eggs should be put down the day they
are laid.
For the farm, or person who wants
to preserve few eggs for his own
use, the easiest and perhaps the best
method when can be employed is the
use of water glass, or sodium silicate.
This water glass is a syrupy liquid
which should be mixed one part water
glass TO nine parts water which has
been previously boiled The solu-
ton should be kept in clean recep.
tacle, such as a crock, or stone jar.
Kegs or barrels may be used, provid.
ed they are scalded thoroughly and are
absolutely free from odors. After the
jar has been partially filled with the
water glass solution the eggs can be
put in from day 10 day, and should re
main at least two inches below the sur.
face of the solution.
Eggs put down in this manner and
stored in cool, dark place will come
out during the following winter as a
very good article of food.
One gallon of water glass will make

and was ready to dash off at once TO
Cordelia and put the ruse before her.
Women are born matchmakers,"
DR.. Fraser laughed, like most hus-
bands, putting the entire blame on his
wife.
Cordelia Mayborn jumped into the
net as she jumped into anything that
promised interest. She cast a swift,
dry glance at her gloriously healthy
color and fine, vigorous body, and
wondered Just what complaint she
could summon that would demand an
immediate call from young DR.. Nevin.
1t did not for moment occur to her
that Alice Fraser was planning matri-
monial byways for her, so she would
assuredly have turned her strong back
on DR.. Alexander Nevin and refused
to meet him.
However DR.. and Mrs. Fraser were
soon safely away on their much-need-
ed holiday with the secret safely tuck
ed between them.
Cordelia had decided upon some
trouble in her anlile-a peculiar some
thing that prevented her from putting
her foot to the ground. She called up
DR.. Nevin during the afternoon OF his
third day as Dr. Fraser's locum tenens.
When she peered cautiously through
the curtains upon hearing the small
motor painting at the curb, Cordelia
smiled She liked the set OF DR.. Ne
wins shoulders and the seriousness of
his eyes. 1t was more or less of pity
TO have to enter into a ruSe against
him.
Cordelia was looking like nothing so
much as glowing, fragrant, healthy
rose when Dr. Nevin entered. She was
propped up in most charming assort-
ment of cushions. Her eyes. as they
greeted the doctor. were lifted in
most appealing expression.
DR.. Nevin drew long. steadying

Eggs also can be preserved in lime

or they can be creased and stored in

A slow smile dawned in his eyes, and

DIG POTATOES NOW TO
AVOID FROST DAMAGE
Experiment Station Man Advises
Immediate Work to Eliminate
Probability of Losses.

Early digging of potatoes to avoid
frost damage is advised by the North
Dakota experiment station, in a
circular issued today. III. o. Werner
of the station sets forth the potato
problem as follows:
Every year potato growers lose
heavily because of field frost" says
Mr.. Werner Sometimes the pota-
toes are so seriously frosted that
they are never dug. At other times
when the frost injury is not so seri-
Gus the potatoes are dug and shipped
and the frost injury develops en-
route and always creates trouble be-
tween the shipper and the receiver
of the potatoes. no avoid this trou-
BILE it is best to dig the potatoes
early and either ship them or get
them under cover where frost will
not iniure them. Where the vines
have been killed by frost they should
be dug without delay as no more
growth is taking place. On account
of the great danger of a severe frost
it is not advisable to delay digging
beyond Sept. 80, at the latest.
when digging potatoes it is well
to let the potatoes lie exposed to
the sun for several hours before
picking them up so that the skins

avoid bruising 1T is advisable to
empty the potatoes into sacks from
the picking baskets, rather than to
empty them loose into the wagon
box. When in the sacks they can
also be handled more conveniently.
If put into storage the potatoes
should be lowered into the cellar in
the sacks rather than dumping them
in, which may bruise many of them,
thus opening the way for dry rot to

HELEN HAYES COMES TO
The ORPHEUN TONIGHT
In Title Role In "PoIlyanna", Child
Actress Has Unusual Opportun-
ity-Her Career Remarkable.

Years of training. deep thought as
to the emotional quality as well as
quantity of q character are what are
supposed to make the actor or
actress of mature years better fitted
for the presentation Of any sort of
character than the child. The child
| is usually always playing a part
when she is trying to actin o.
words palpably and very ostenta-
tiously acting.
It is just because she has had these
years of experience and that her
thought in the development Of char
acter has been guided by some inner
quality of genius as we'll as by the
very best of directors on the stage
that Miss Helen Hayes, who comes
20 the Orpheum tonight in the lead
| ing role in "Pollyanna" is called by
| her manager, George Tyler. one of
| the most important discoveries of
| the last few years-despite the fact
| that she is but II years old!
Miss Hayes has been on the stage
since she was a little tot. She has
| lived and breathed the atmosphere
of all that is best and greatest in the
| theatre. She has been educated
with the special idea of charging
and enriching those powers of per
ception and proportion that enable
her to make every character she
| portrays natural, distinctive and
| withal the combination of technical
skill and training.
Mr.. Tyler is wrong in stating that
he has discovered Miss Hayes. He
| is wrong even if he thinks he is the
| first of the greater OF the New York
managers who has found her. As n
matter of fact the young lady has
had no less than three full seasons
right on Broadway with the best of
stars. And she has also. for the past
two years, been pursuing q special
course of study mapped out for her
by no less personages than the late
Charles Frohman and by John Drew.
She played, on Broadway, with John
Drew only a season or so ago. 1t
was the last season of the life of the
late Charles Frohman and it was
then that he became acquainted with
her. He predicted great things for
her and intended to make his predic-
ton come true. But the Lusitania
catastrophe cut short his ability to
carry out the promise. His theatre
cal executor, Al HaymaE and Klaw
and Erlanger. did not forget the
promise, however, or the young wo-
man and when it was decided to or
ganize a special company to present
"Pollyanna" to the west and the
Pacific coast. Miss Hayes was chosen
for the task.
