PUT UP WINTER EGGS
NOW
By G. E. Oonkey.

When egg prices went up last
year till they touched the dollar a.
dozen mark, egg producers and
egg consumers determined that
next winter would seq them pre-
pared better. For eggs can easily
be preserved when eggs are plenti
ful aud prices are low and kept
for the time when eggs are scarce
aud costly.
Right now Is the time to put up
your eggs for next winters use,
for not only prices are favorable.
but eggs laid during the spring
months will keep better. Use
clean eggs and preserve them the
same day AZ gathered, il you pos.
sibly can. Never use any egg
about which there is any doubt as
20 absolute freshness. II you use
good eggs and use proper care in
preserving, the eggs will keep for
a whole year and still be accepta
ble for cooking.
While many still cling to the old
method Of packing eggs 10 salt or
gains, preserving eggs in water
glass is today the most popular
method. Water glass is the com
mon name for Sodium Silicate.
It is q light colored, syrup like
liquid and Is in no way poisonous.
IL is sold by drug stores and poul.
try supply houses. 1t costs about
S1 90 q gallon. II kept 10 TIN,
water glass retains its efficiency
for years, but is good tor only one
season il it 10 diluted in water.

. No Less Than Forty Divisions oflius.
TRANS Said to Be Ready for Attack
ON Italy = :
Washington, April 2. = Imminent
danger of an attack by the Austrians
in great force upon the Italian lines
was emphasized yesterday at the
Italian Embassy. Recently the En-
bassy published statement that no
less than forty divisions had been
gathered by the enemy along the bat
tie lines, and now information comes
that these troops have received the
essentials of food, artillery and NUM-
tons, for which they have been wait
ing.
Recalling incredulity with which the
Italian advance warnings Of the tre-
mendous onslaught of the combined
Austrian and German armies on the
Isonzo last year were received by the
allies, the Italian military authorities
now are said to earnestly hope that
attention will be paid to the danger
which again impends.
Italian military men are coniidant
that the Italian line in the neighbor-
hood of Lake Garda will be the salient
point. The immediate objective Of the
Austrians is expected to be the city of
Breccia on the east Of the lake and
another attack may be directed on the
west with the purpose of breaking
into Lombardy. The principal Italian
munitions and army supply factories
are located in Lombardy and Pied
mont and, besides securing these. the
Austrians might put themselves in a
position to swing their forces north
ward into France, reinforcing the
Germans from the south against the
French right wing.
Great quantities of supplies have
come to the Austrian army from Rus
STA, according to dispatches to the
embassy. The Germans recently an
nounced that they had foregone claim
ing the rich stores of food in the Rus
sian Ukraine country in order to meet
the more pressing need of the Aus
TRANS.
On the other hand, the Italians arc
said to be in desperate need of food
1t is known that only about one-third
of the Italian army of 100000 men
is now being maintained on the battle
lines, and the official explanation is
that there is no food and not enough
guns and ammunition for the remain
der.
The British and French troops sent
to Italy to check the Austro-German
advance last fall are still in Northern
italy, and il is said that instead OF
having them withdrawn to meet the
pressing need for man power ~
France, the Italian general staff de-
sires to send Italian troops to join the
British, French and Americans in that
quarter trusting to the allies superb
or comnlissariat to feed them.
