with Colombia, to pay $25,OO0,OOO for

motion of Chairman Stone of the for
eign relations committee.
Senator Stones action was taken to
fOreshadow further diplomatic negotia-

strong objections. An effort to frame
more acceptable treaty is expected
before the congress, which convenes in
special session April 16, has adj

which the United States might find it.

in the withdrawal of the treaty was not
openly disclosed, but it was apparent
that such action would not have been
taken without a previous understand
ing.
Sudden withdrawal of the treaty
with Colombia and postponement until
the, session of April 16 is explained by
developments disclosing an offer Of
Colombia to reconsider certain provi-
sions as to condemnation of Roose-
velt's course in taking Panama, also
to reduce amount of award and partic-
ularly to add provisions allowing ex-
ira Notifications on the coast Of Co

agreement not to allow any European
or Asiatic nation privileges of naval or
military base without the consent of

delphia navy yard.

fers of merchant work, and are get

ment,- State, county and munici- pal antiquities should encourage the continuance of all kinds of building. Road and street i'm provements, in particular, should go on unabated. Bad roads and streets are factors of first impor- tance in the present high cost of feedstuffs. Never before was the improvement of highways so essential.
 The lumber, brick, cement, lime, sand. gravel, stone and other building material industries are basic. Neither government regulations nor railroad restric- tions should be imposed unneces- sarily to interfere with them. If any action is taken which results in the prostration of so funda- mentally important industries, there is real danger of a surplus of unemployed labor and crippling of business that will seriously en- barrass the Government in fnan- cing the war.
 The right thing to do is to keep on building.
The Home news., 1917-06-08
KEEP ON BUILDING

About that improvement you are planning
 Why not go ahead with it?
 Every reason in the world says you should.
 Never in our nations history have we been so prosperous as now, and here are the reasons: Since the beginning of the Euro pean war, three years ago, na- tions across the water have been pouring their gold into this coun- try in an ever increasing stream to buy the our products. until America has become the worlds money center Now those same nations have borrowed back sev- eral billions of this same money, paying interest thereon and ob- hgating themselves to spend prac- tically every dollar of that vast sum for our products. This has brought prices of our products to high point never dreamed of by our producers. Should the great war continue another year this same borrowing and buying process must be repeated, for the nations have no other market in which to borrow or buy. Should the war cease tomorrow, years must elapse before the devastated countries can rebuild their great industries and resume their nor nal rate of production.
 Thus a profitable market for the products of America's broad acres and American industries, dho Ialr profits Tn. all lines of le- gltlmate effort are absolutely cer- tam for many years to come.
 There should be no curtailment Tn building and road construction. 6oth public and private construc- tlon should proceed. Production and handling of building mate flals and public and private con- stfuctlon work are fundamental industries of the country. Any tendency to suspend or postpone building projects is inconsistent with maintaining our prosperity. building investors should not hesitate to go ahead with their pans. Railroads should spare no effort to supply the building industries with cars needed to transport materials. Govern

SELECTING THE EGGS.

Eggs should be put in the wa ter glass solution the same day they are laid. They must be clean, but unwashed, and hav- ing good shells. Be careful and do not crack them in filling the jar. Since infertile eggs nat urally keep longer and fresher than than fertile eggs, 1t is best to use infertile eggs. In filling the jar, be sure to leave about 3 inches of the solution over the eggs. When filled, cover the jar with heavy paper. This will keep the solution clean and help prevent evaporation. Inspect the jars regularly and see that they are kept filled with the solution. Do not let enough of the solution evaporate to expose any of the eggs to the air.

WATER GLASS METHOD.

The most practical way for the housewife to preserve eggs is by the water glass" method. Wa ter glass" (silicate sodium) can be bought at any drug store. It is a syrupy liquid and should al ways be used in the proportion of one part of water glass to nine parts of cool water which has been boiled. By using these proportions eggs can be preserv- ed in any jar or crock filled with the solution and they will keep several months if stored in a cool cellar or room where the air is fresh.

Preserve Your Eggs

Eggs are scarce and high priced during some months of the year. Every housewife can guard against this scarcity and high price if she will preserve eggs when they are plentiful and cheap.
