James Braid's Best Tip.
N the American Golfer.

Fro II the American Golfer.
James Braid always says that the
very best tip he has to give anybody
and that which will do most good in
the game of nearly every player who
adopts it is to try for something which
is very like a pause at the turning
point of the swing in iron play. The
player, says he. should just think a
pause. and almost believe he made one.
and vet it should not actually be a
pause, though something very like it.
Which means. in effect, that it should
be the nearest thing to a pause with
out being pause that any one could
ever think or.
That is more definite statement than
it may look, and every golfer who con-
sders it will understand. The fact is
that it is our old friend. the subcon-
science again at work. and the idea of
that pause induces a steadier, more
calculating and deliberate way of
swinging the iron when there are no
such thoughts in mind and the tendeu-
cies that they create. Braid SAYS that
the iron play of more than half the
golfers is too fast and snatchy, and he
is right. Ee deliberate with your irons
that is the best advice.

Do not buy eggs for preserving un-
less you understand how to select those
that are suitable for the purpose. How
ever. many persons obtain eggs from
neighbors or from reliable poultrymen
and preserve these with excellent re-
suits. The eggs should be gathered
twice daily to prevent early develop

infertile eggs.
AS the eggs are gathered, place each

Do not keep the eggs for several days

a cracked egg, as the contents Will ieaR

Some years ago an experiment was
conducted to determine which of twen-
ty methods of preserving eggs was the
most satisfactory. The eggs were
treated the day laid and kept a period
of eight months. Three of the twenty
methods gave perfect results:
1)-Eggs preserved in solution of
waterglass (the technical name of wa
terglass is sodium silicate).
2)-Eggs packed in a solution of
limewater
Sa)-Eggs coated with vaseline.
Numerous tests at experiment sta
tons. by Housewives and on CONNER
cial scale have demonstrated that the
immersion of fresh eggs in a solution
OF "aterglass Will unquestionably keep

of time desired

evaporation draws in air to NIL the

such an egg cannot be preserved by
any method and made fit to eat. All
any liquid preservative can do is 10
seal the pores of the shell and prevent
evaporation. and also exclude injurious
bacteria. 1t can be readily understood
that If the contents of the egg are per
fectiy fresh when il is placed in the
preservative, it will retain its perfect
condition
Waterglass is strong antiseptic that
can be bought in two forms-a sirupy
liquid or a white powder. Both forms
are sold by druggists, though money
can be saved by buying direct from
the manufacturers.
To preserve eggs by the waterglass
method the following will be needed

OF the latter class poultry raising in
the past has been a costly and unsat-
isfactory proposition. Lack of prac-
tical knowledge and the desire to have
everything about the poultry yard right
up to date has made the business cost
a great deal more than it should have
cost, and irregular feeding and general
lack of systematic care and attention
has resulted in net losses instead of
profits

Increased Food
Under New Regime

the denseIy populated and more iso-
lated sections of the nation once more
are receiving in some measure increas-
cd food SUPPLIES The stagnation which
once existed in governmental and mill
tarv affairs has ended. There has been
a ouickening of the Russian pulse in
the past ten days. The people are
carving out the dictates of the new
regime without rurmur. well realizing
that every move is for the best inter
ests of the people as whole. Practi-
caIly every province in the nation is
preparing for participation in the cleo
,ions which shall select a constituent
council.
The new government has declared
that the women of the empire shall
have a voice In the selection of that
bodv. which will be largely jnstru-
mental in shaping the future destinies
of the empire.
One OF the Questions which seem
solved 10 the great relief not only Of
Russia but the outside world itself is
the religious issue. The peoples of
Russia now are free to worship as
tbey see fit They may profess beliefs
contrary TO those propounded by the
Russian Church without fear and with
out prejudice in the eyes of the gov
ernment. The tens of thousands of
Jews who have. from time immernorial.
borne the bruut of bitter religious per
secution no longer Will be forced to
worship in the hidden places. No
longer will they be forced to face the
taunts of the Russian state religionist.
Their religion is TO be as sacred in the
eyes of the people and government as
any other religious belief Each man
will worship his God in his own way
and wherever he may see tit
As for internal questions. the Rus
sian regime has set about IN systematic
fashion to solve them. During the
past week or ten days many Of these
have been dealt with. The one great
danger to the new order-refeX action
leading to state OF anarchy because
Of differences existent among those
who overthrow the czar-seems TO have
passed.
Though there may have been Inur-
muriugs of peace before the present
revolution because of the fact that the
people We're weary and heartsick of
making fruitless sacrifices. these are
not heard now. Everywhere there is
but one tocsin, Win the war
