MRS. HOUSEWIFE: YOU CAN HELP UNCLE SAM
BY PRESERVING EGGS
BY BIDDY BYE

. DiDbI . z
Woman's most important work in
wartime is doing the thing which is
nearest at hand. Conserving the
nations food supply is work which is
always at hand. It can be practiced
three times a day, and at irregular
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 sur
plus stock of eggs for next fall and
winter. And it is often wise for
housewives who buy eggs to invest in
dozens Of the strictly fresh kind at
spring prices and store them against
a coming H. c. of L. crisis.
The quality of 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 farmer or person who

own use, the easiest and perhaps the
best method which 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 solution should be kept in a
clean receptacle, such as a crock or
stone jar. Kegs or barrels may be
used, provided they are scaIded thor
oughIy and are absolutely free from
OdOrs. After the jar has been par
TALLY filed with the water glass so
luton the eggs can be put in from
day to day and should remain at
least two inches below the surface Of
the solution.
Eggs put down in this manner and
stored in a cool, dark place will come

dozen eggs. The commercial water
glass is used for preserving eggs, as
it is much cheaper than the chemi-
cally pure article.
Eggs also can be preserved in hmef
water, salt, patent egg preservatives,, -,
or they can be creased and stored in
sawdust or bran. But eggs packed
in salt are liable to lose as much as
SO per cent by evaporation, while
those which are creased sometimes
lose 25 per cent. Moreover, they
may become tainted, while eggs pre-
served in water glass are not only
satisfactory after having been
packed away for months, but also
when kept for three or four weeks
after removal from solution.
Most packed eggs will not beat up
well for cake-making or frOsting,
while eggs taken from a water glass
solution seem quite equal to the av-
erage fresh eggs to be had in the
markets. Their shells, however, are
apt to crack in boiling. It is said that
this can be prevented by piercing the
larger end of the egg with a needle
before putting it into the water.
If it is desired to preserve eggs in
Iimewater, the solution may be pre-
pared by placing or pounds Of Un-
Stacked lime in gallons of water
and allowing the mixture to stand
until the lime settles and the iquidd
is clear. The eggs should be placed
in a clean earthenwaTe jar or other
suitable vessel and covered with the
clear Gmewater. Sometimes a pound
of salt is used with the lime, but it is
said that such a mixture impaTts a
slight taste of lime to the eggs.

ART METHODS SHOWN
BY FELIX MAHONEY

The Capital Camera Club gave the
NTH Of its series Of educational lee
lures last night at the club rooms.
Felix Mahoney, Of the National School
OF Fine and Applied Arts, added a
new phase to photography by illus
trating his methods in art and carl
eature with chalk and under the sky
light.
The average photographer. when he
makes a portrait, flatters the subject
by retouching until the actual lines
which make up a PERSONS features
are eliminated. Mr.. Mahoney DEM
|onstrated the wonderful difference in
natural and mechanical features of
|earicature. For years he advocated
his thoughts, similar to those he ad-
|vocated last night, when he was
|cartoonist on Washington papers, but
|the Washington public did not realize
the force and power of his cartoons
until Louis Raemakers applied this
same force and power in his cartoons
land applied them to the war. Today
the public realizes that MIR. Mahoney
WAS years ahead of himself.
He further illustrated his original
|mefhod Of clay modelling, life studies
under natural and artificial light. and
|advocated his method of natural
and artificial light, and advocated his
method OF natural Toses without re-
noYing the very essential of which a
person Is made up.
