EGGS
FOR WINTER USE
Food Administrator Receives Lat
est Federal Measure for
Conservation.

The federal food administration
advises housewives to take-steps to
preserve eggs by the water glass or
Line methods as a food ConserVa-
ton measure, according to a COM
municatiou received by Nj o. Girls
void, Rock Island county food ad-
mfnistrator
Eggs can be kept from eight to
twelve months by these methods if
Proper care is taken in the meth
DDS of preserving. People are uTg-
ed to take up this measure at once
as eggs are more plentiful at the
present time and they also sell for
less than later in the year.
Instructions are that the eggs
should be fresh and clean, If pos
sibIe, infertile Eggs that float
when placed in the solution are not
fresh and therefore cannot be pre-
served. When slightly soiled a
cloth dampened in vinegar can be
used to remove such stains, and in
no circumstance should badly soil
ed or cracked eggs be used
If placed in the jar when dirty
they will spoil and washing re-
moves a protective coating, which
prevents spelling and therefore
eggs should be selected that are
reasonably clean.
Eggs so preserved can be used in
any manner as are fresh eggs, al
though those preserved in water
glass should be perforated with
pin at one end before boiling as this
allows the air within the egg to es-
cape and consequently prevents the
egg from bursting when boiled

WHITNEY'S JOHREN
 WINS FEATURE RACE
Imported Colt Has No Trouble
 Winning Huron Handicap

Saratoga. x. Y. Aug. 28.-Harr9 Payne Whimey's imported colt Johrenl which is running neck and neck with Willis Sharpe kilmer'S Sun Briar for the -year-old championship, won the Huron handicap, the feature at the Spa here yesterday afternoon. The race was merely an exercise gallop fOT JOhren. A. K. Macomber's Hand Gre- made was his only opponent, and he could not make MT Whitney's colt eX- tend himself at any stage of the One- mile and three-sixteenths journey.
 The start brought uncalled-for misses and hoots for Mars Cassidy. The starter sprung the barrier with both colts on their toes and ready for tfts duel, but as soon as the webbing rosa Hand Grenade propped and wheeled This cost him half a dozen lengths,
 After the race Johnny Loftus, whd rode Hand Grenade, eXOnorated Cas- sidy from all blame. Hand Grenada is a green colt" said Johnny, and when the webbing went up he wheeled and l was compelled to pull him up to get him back in his stride. The start was a good one and if my mount had gone on about his business we would have sped away together"
 With Frankie Robinson tugging lust- fly on the reins during the entire jour- ney Johren finished a length and d half in front. He covered the course in 1:57 2-5 His gallop was a profit@ able one for MT. Whitney, for the racq was worth $2,500.
 While the horses were on their way to the post for the first race LInfrm- fer, an imported colt belonging to the Grown stable, unseated Jockey Fair- I7cS was caught. LInt1rmier is sprinter, but he sped those four miles like & cup horse. With LInfirmier out of the race victory went to Foreclosures of the Kentucky stable, with F. R. Bradley's Blue Para adise second and C. BuXton's Manganese third.
 For the first time this season tF1d colors of Major August Belmont, the chairman of the Jockey club, flashed home in front. They were borne to victory by Duchess Lace a brown lilly by Fair Play-Dragnet She had Lyke in the saddle and showed im- proVement over previous races. She followed the leaders to the final eighth pole and then came on and passed the judges a length ahead of the Wood land Stock Farms Triumphant, which took second honors by a nose from G. J. Longs Wyndover. Duchess Lace travelled the six furlongs in 1:13 Is, The track was not at it's best.
 Mrs. J. E. Davis sturdy bay lilly Ophelia defeated a big field of juvenile colts and Allies in the last race. Georgie Walls got her away from the barrier in fifth position and rushed her after the leaders. Entering the home stretch she pOked her nose in front and then increased her lead until she was a length and a half in front of John Sanford's Marchesa II.
