WHAT THE WAR OUGHT TO MEAN.
BY Marion Harland of the vigilantes.

II ever in the history of our nation
the obligation was laid upon us to study
the meaning of the word patriotism, the
necessity is upon us now.
The pestilent heresy that "this is not
our war" is not confined to ignorant and
careless thinkers. / have heard it ex.
pressed in various forms until nv soul
fairly sickens into despair. Are there
no words in the English language that
can convey to the average woman the
vital truth that the incredibly -wicke
conflict convulsing the nations on the
other side of the world, concerns us as
nearly as if fleet of Huns were within
sight of orr shores +? When this idea
possesses the mind of the American
woman; when she comprehends that ev-
cry self-sacrifice, every act of i,ldicious
economy is duty as binding upon her
as though the invading forces were actu.
ally threatening our fair land with out
RACES that have scourged Belgium and
France-we shall be ready to do-not
our bit''-but our all toward righting
TIE mightiest wrong the world has ever
known.
As women, we need to consecrate self
denial and toll. We admire, afar off, the
heroism of mothers who send their sons
"to fight for their country" We Tend
a hand" and give all the dollars we can
spare TO the Red Cross, the Canteen
club and divers other relief associations
brought to our notice. When we fur
bish up last years gown and retrim last
years hat, and observe tunder plsintive
protestl the ''-less" days prescribed by
official authority--wc account ourselves
heroines, and continue to shudder away
from paper headlines telling Of bloodshed
across the seas. Conservative women in
dude such information under the loose !
of politics" The broader !
minded New Woman holds that local |
and present evils claim precedence in
mind and action. Must there arise from |
he ranks of either party Jeanne /
Fare to carry to every heart the con
fiction that we are battling for liberty
md human rights as truly as our Rev
foremothers gave husbands
md sons and endured for themselves pri
alton, toll and hardship inconceivable
o us Of this luxurious age And all,
hat might bear a part, personally in
ne glorious work of securing for us the
eritage we Heaven forgive us!-yalue
o lightly!

EoW TO PRESERVE EGGS.
Use of Waterglass Solution Is One OF the
Best Methods.

Surplus eggs, preserved in the spring,
will supply the home with good eggs in
the fall and winter. when eggs are hard
to get and are high priced.
/ Eggs to be preserved must be fresh
and should be placed in the preserving
/ eontainer as soon as possible after they
are laid. One of the best methods Of
preserving is by the use of waterglass,
a pale yellow, odorless, sirupy liquid that
can be bought by the quart or gallon
from the druggist or poultry supply
man. It should be diluted in the proper.
ton of one part of waterelass to .
parts of water which has been boiled
and allowed to cool Earthenware crooks
or Jars are the best containers, since
their glazed surface prevents chemical
action from the solution. The crooks or
cans should be scalded and allowed to
cool before they are used A container
holding 3 gallons will accommodate Is
dozen eggs and will require one quart
of waterglass.
To Use Waterglass Solution.
Half fill The container with the water
glass solution and place the eggs in it,
Eggs can be added from day to day as
they are obtained making sure that the
eggs are covered by about two inches of
solution. Cover contaner and
place it in a cool place where it viii
not have to be moved. Look at it from
time to time, and if there seems to be
danger of too much evaporation. add
cool boiled water to keep the
eggs covered. Eggs removed from the
solution should be rinsed in clean, cold
water. Before they are boiled holes
should be pricled in the large ends with
, needle to prevent them from cracking.
Limewater Also Preservative.
Limewater also is satisfactory for pre-
serving eggs and is slightly less expen
i've than waterglass. A solution is made
" placing two or three pounds of I'M
lacked lime in five gallons of water
which has been boiled and allowed TO
DOL. and allowing the mixture to stand
Intil the lime settles and the liquid is

essel and covered to depth of two
inches with the liquid. Remove the eggs
