EGGS FOR STORAGE OR
CHEMICAL PRESERVATION
Even Temperature is Required ;
Eggs Must Not be
Washed.

Farmers who are interested in the
marketing of eggs, especially for
storage purposes, should remem ber
that special precautions are essential
if the eggs are to be preserved prop
erly. These few precautions pertain
to the eggs whether they are to be
stored in refrigeration or by means of
chemical preservatives such as wa
ter-glass The eggs must not be al
lowed to become damp. either by al
lowing rain to fall upon them, or by
storing them in a place which is al,
ternatey damp and cool and dry and
warm. 1t is well nigh impossible to
cold-store an egg which is allowed to
become moist on the surface Washed
eggs, likewise, are different TO con-
troll, inasmuch as washing removes
the mucous coating on the shell, thus
allowing bacteria to penetrate the
shell more easily. Such penetration
is followed by increased rapidity OF
putrefaction. Dirty eggs. moreover.
should be discarded. Again the dirt
is breeding place for bacteria. The
eggs then should be stored in a clean
condition in a dry, cool place.
Likewise the merchant who collects
the material from farmers to put in
case lots in a central storage plant.
should remember that the eggs must
not be stored even for a short time
in the vicinity of a stove or where
there are marked changes of temper
ature. Again the moisture condensa-
tion which appears on the surface OF
the eggs, causes bacterial growth.
Warm temperature conditions like
wise act as incubators to bacterial
growth. Each condition tends, there
fore to spoil the condition of the
eggs.-T. d. Beckwith. Professor OF

POPULAR WAR, SAYS BRYAN.
He Has Found Support of Government
Almost Universal

CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.-The war against
Germany is popular war, according to
William j. Bryan, in Chicago yesterday
to deliver a Chautauqua lecture. He
said he found the desire of the people
to support the government in the war to
be almost universal.
'There can be only one end to the
war; he said, land that is the over
throw of Germany. We shall win the
war, whether Russia holds her own or
not. But | have great faith that Ker-
enskv will restore that land to military
power.
"Failure of Russia to hold her own
probably would encourage the German
war party and discourage the demo
cratic movement in that country. This
would affect the duration of the war
since our immediate success depends on
the Encouragement of the military par
ty and the encouragement Of the demo
cratic movement.

over the legislation giving the Presi
dent control over food and fuel prices

MRS. BACON GIVEN
RIGHT TO APPEAL
Judge Waterman Finds Intention Was
to Appeal from Disallowance of
Claim by Commissioners.

Permission to appeal from the com
missioners' disallowance of her claim
is granted to Mrs. Emma j. Bacon of
Lynn, Mass, by an order Just filed in
the county clerk S office by Judge F. l..
Waterman. Mrs Bacon s sister was
the late Mrs Ella NJ. Pike of Bellows
Falls, who left an order on the Bellows
Falls Savings bank to pay Mrs. Bacon
81 900 The commissioners of Mrs.
Pike : estate disalowed the claim but
Mrs. Bacon, who was in i'll health, left
the matter for her niece, Mrs. Sadie
NJ. Woodmansee of Providence, r. l., to
look after. The latter took counsel and
supposed the matter was being attended
to, but the time expired and no appeal
was entered. Judge Waterman finds
that the intention of both Mrs. Bacor
and Mrs Woodmansee was to enter al
appeal, and he gives them permission tC
do so under n statute designed to give
relief in such eases.

DOUBLE DROWNING
IN KEENE, N. HI.
Bodies of Rose shattuck, II, of Keene
and Mrs. Eugene Hosley of Man
chester, vt, Recovered.
Special to The Reformer.)

hEENE T., n. H., Aug. y.
Miss Rose Ella Shattuck, Il, daughter
of Mrs Rollin Shattuck of the East
Surry road, and Mrs Elinor Hosley. %,
wife of Eugene Hosley of Manchester,
VT, were victims of double drown
ing while bathing in the Ashuelot river
yesterday afternoon. Their bodies were
recovered and artificial respiration and
pulmotOrs were used without success.
Mrs. Hosley was a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Clarence Towslev of Manchester.
As the two went to the river alone
no details of how the accident happened
are known. About an hour after the
two went TO the river, Bowen Shattuck,
a brother of Rose, went to the river and
saw where they entered the water, and
after swimming around located the body
of Mrs Hosley and succeeded in getting
it to the shore. He called to his father,
and assisted by Edwin Johnston they
succeeded in locating the body of Rose
in about eight feet of water.
Mrs. Hosley could swim. She was Wis
iting at the Shattuek farm, which is
in the northern part of Keene. The
river at the place where the accident
happened borders on the farm, but is
just out of view of the house.
