Watch Your Stomach
In the Summer Time

it is good news to tell you that
tens of thousands are now using
EATONIC-for all stomach and
bowel ailments caused by too
much acidity with such truly WON
derful results that every one
should always have it in the house.
EATONIC Tablets stop the cause OF
indigetive and dyspeptic ailments by
neutralizing the poisonous fluids, acids
and gases largely the result of super
acidity. This makes the stomach
pain-free and ready to perform its
proper work.
You can have q good appetite in hot
weather to eat the things you like
when you want them if you take one
or two EATONIC Tablets after each
meal. Such quick, wonderful relief
would seem unbelievable but for the
fact that thousands of sufferers every
where have received marvellous results
from EATONIC. Obtain . large box
of EATONIC Tablets from your own
druggist who you know and can trust:
II they fail, 60 back to him and he will
gladly refund your money. r Do this
today. You will then know what real
stomach comfort meansin hot weather.

How to Candle Eggs.

II you are going to put away some
summer-laid eggs for winter use-both
a patriotic and a personal duty-you
will need to exercise care to see that
only good eggs are put in the water
glass or limewater container. One bad
egg is likely to destroy several others.
By consistently gathering the eggs
when they are fresh, most of the dam
ger of storing bad eggs Is avoided but,
since some eggs are imperfect when
they are laid, Gambling, where 1t can
be done without too much trouble and
delay, might well be practiced.
The United States department Of
agriculture has just issued bulletin
"How to Candle Eggs" The text is
brief and direct and is illustrated with
colored plates showing the way in
which an egg should appear before the
candle, together with the various ways
1t should not appear. The bulletin was
written by DIR. NJ. e. Pennington, chief
Of the food research laboratory, as
sisted by NJ. K. Jenkins, bacteriologist,
and H. M. P. Belts, artist. It should
be Of great use, not only to persons
putting away eggs for home use but
to those who desire to establish or
maintain regulations for delivering
eggs In perfect condition.

Essentials In Poultry.

Prime essentials in poultry houses
are fresh air, dryness, sunlight, and
space enough to keep the birds COM
fertable.
No particular style Of house Is
peculiarly adapted to any section Of
This country. A house which gives
satisfaction in Maine will also give
eood results in Texas or California,
but It is preferable to build more open
and consequently less expensive
houses in the South than in the North.
The best site depends principally on
local conditions. The location should
have good water and air drainage, so
that the floor and yards will be dry,
while the house should not occupy
low pocket or hollow in which cold air
settles.
Wherever possible a southern or
southeastern exposure should be Sc
lected, although this is not essential II
there is any good reason for facing
the house in q different direction.
Poultry can be raised successfully

PRESERVED eggs
FOR WINTER use
Particular Care Must Be Taken
That Those Put Away Are
Strictly Fresh.
TWO METHODS ARE OUTLINED
One Quart Of SiIIcate and Nine Quarts
Of Water Will Take Care Of Fiji
teen Dozen-Unsiaked Lime
Also Is Favored.

Eggs preserved when they are
abundant and cheap mean supply
next winter when they may reach ex-
tremely high prices.
Late summer Is not too early to pre-
serve eggs, but care must be taken
that they are strictly fresh.
Two methods of preserving eggs are
recommended by specialists of the O.
8. department Of agriculture; they fol-
low:
Water Glass Method.
Use one quart of sodium silicate to
nine quarts Of water that has been
boiled and cooled. Place the mixture
in a five-gallon crock or jar. This Will
be sufficient to preserve 10 dozen eggs;
and the quantity needed to preserve a
larger number of eggs will be in pro-
portion.
First. select five-gallon crock and
clean It thoroughly. after which 1t
should be scalded and allowed to dry.
Second, heat a quantity Of water to
the boiling point and allow 1t to cool.
Third, when cool. measure out nine
quarts Of water. place it in the crock.
anu dUu Ouc quuit VI oouiuih siAAS"eS'
stirring the mixture thoroughly.
Fourth, place the eggs in the solu-
ti0n. Be very careful to allow at least
two inches of the solution to cover the
eggs.
Fifth, place the crock containing the
preserved eggs in a cool. dry place,
well covered to prevent evaporation.
Waxed paper covered over and tied
around the top Of the crock will an
swer this purpose.
Lime Method.
When water glass cannot be obtain
ed, the following method may be used
In its stead. Many consider this meth
Cd entirely satisfactory, though in
stances are known in which eggs so
preserved have tasted slightly Of lime.
Dissolve two or three pounds of un-
slaked lime in five gallons of water
that has previously been boiled and
allowed to cool, and allow the mixture
10 stand until the lime settles and the
LIQUID IL clear. Place clean, fresh eggs
In a clean earthenware jug or keg and
pour the clear lime water into the ves-
eel until the eggs are covered. At least
two inches Of the solution should cover
the top layer of eggs.
Sometimes a pound Of salt Is used
with the lime. but experience has
shown that in general the lime without
the salt Is more satisfactory.
