two men of the battalion, including my
self. were sent to l.. where we
went through a course In bombing.
Here we were instructed in the uses,
methods of throwing and manufacture
Of various kinds of hand grenades,

to the present Mills bomb, the standard
Of the British army.
It all depends where you are as to
what you are called. In France they
call you a "bomber" and give you med
ais, while in neutral countries they
call you an anarchist and give you
"life."
From the very start the Germans
were well equipped with effective
bombs and trained bomb throwers, but
the English army was as little pre-
pared in this important department Of
fighting as in many others. At bomb
ing school an old sergeant of the Gren-
adler guards, whom I had the good
fortune to meet, told me Of the discour-
agements this branch of the service
suffered before they could meet the
Germans on an equal footing. (Paci-
fists and small army people in the
q. S. please read with care.) The first
English expeditlonary forces had no
bombs at all, but had clicked a lot Of
casualties from those thrown by the
Boches. One bright morning someone
higher up had an idea and issued an
order detailing two men from each
platoon to 60 to bombing school to
learn the duties of a bomber and how
to manufacture bombs. Noncommis-
stoned officers were generally selected

PRESERVING EGGS IN
WATER GLASS SOLUTION
(By Miss Mary B. MARTINI


mer when eggs are abundant and
reasonable in price, attention should
be given to preserving them for
winter use. Fresh eggs properly
preserved, may be kept for 8 to IL
months in excellent condition and
used with good results.
Eggs laid during April, May and
early June have been found to keep
better than those laid later in the
season
If satisfactory results are to be
obtained, the eggs should be fresh
and clean and, if possible, infertile.
Eggs that float when placed in the
solution are not fresh and there
re, can not be preserved. When
an egg is only slightly soiled' a
cloth dampened with vinegar can
be used to emove such stains. I'm
der no circumstances should badly
soiled eggs be used for preserving;
if put into the jar while dirty they
will spoil, and washing removes a
protection coating which prevents
spelling.
TIL best method for the ~preserva-
of egg is the use of soclum sill
cute or water glass. This preserVa-
tive may be bought at McMurray's
Drug Store, and it is well for CLUBS
to go in together and buy the
amount needed, thereby getting IL
much cheaper. If the price of So
dunn ~silicate is about 80 cents a
quart, eggs may be preserved at a
cost of approximately 2 cents a
dozen. It is not desirable to use
the water glass solution a second
time.
Use / quart of SODIUM silicate to
9 quarts of water that has been
boiled and cooled. Place the mix
ture in a 5 gallon crock or jar.
This will be sufficient to preserve ID
dozen egg and will serve as a guide
for the quantity needed to pre-
serve larger numbers of eggs.
Select a 5 gallon crock and clean
it thoroughly, after which it should
be sca1ded and allowed to dry.
Heat water to the boiling point
and allow it to cool.
When cool, out 9 quarts
of water, place it in the crock, and
add / quart of SODIUM silicate, stirr-
ing the mixture thoroughly.
Fresh clean eggs may be dropped
in the solution from day to day as
they are obtained, making sure that
tie eggs are covered by about 2
inches of water glass solution. Gov

the eggs from time to time and II

needed and rinse in clean cold wa

imum and to do their bit in making
Abbeville County Self-Producing..
In order to increase this interest =.
and stimulate a friendly rivalry be-
tween the communities, two prizes
are to be offered in the Women's
Club Work for the coming year.
The money for these prizes was lib
orally given by the business men
of Abbevile. These men are inter-
ested and enthusiastic in your work
and are expecting the utmost to be
accomplished in your communities.
Up to the present time, nine wo-
mems Homee Demonstration Clubs
have been organized and reorgan-
lied in Abbeville county in the fol-
lowing communities: Arborville,
Antreville, Calhoun Falls, Sharon,
Warrenton, Brownlee, Monterey,
Cold Springs and South Side Club
which meets at Mrs. w. P. Wham's.
The first prize is to be $500 or,
a Steam Pressure Canning Outfit
and the second prize $500. 1t is
our object that these prizes be of
such nature that every family in
the winning communities may be
benefited by them.
Each club is required to keep an
accurate report of all the demon
stration work carried on in its COM
munity, and each individual mem
Der is required to hand her Secre-
tary at each meeting a report of
work done the preceding month.
The following is the Report Form
that is being used for Abbeville

V. Other Work Accomplished:
The Secretary and President of
each club are also urged to writes
little article for the papers after
each meeting so that the work OF
all clubs may be kept before the
public. The interest and .coopera-
ton that is being manifested IN
some communities IS extremely en-
couraging, while in other communi-
ties, some drones are found who
haven't yet walked up to the fact
that their communities could be
winners and leaders if everybody,
did his part.
In some of the clubs every mem
Der agreed to double their garden
areas this year, while in others
only a few were interested in this
plan to increase food production.
All of above metioned clubs are
specializing on some product out-
side the regular garden work.

that has been made In Tulsa since

serya,Ion was put In effect early
last spring. II came from the
oven Of the Middle West bakery
at 7:45 last evening, and was de-
livrrcd before IT was 10 minutes
old.
Beginning today, all the baker
les in Tulsa Will abandon tho
