Men Having Gray Eyes Have
Proved to Be Best Marksmen

Gray-eyed men, says Fort Worth
correspondent, are the best marksmen.
This has been proved after eight
months experience at the rifle range
of Camp Bowie, and besides old army
experts will tell you the same thing.
When Capt. e. r. Breese was here
giving his instruction In the use of the
new rifle he said that proficiency in
arksmanship usually ran according
to the color of the eyes, men having
gray being the best shots, gray-blue
coming next, blue third, hazel fourth,
brown fifth, and black sixth
Records show that soldiers whose
eyes are light brown to black cannot
shoot with accuracy at a distance
greater than 500 yards and at 800
yards miss the target altogether.
Even with different nations the
color of the eyes has determined
shooting ability. Nearly every Mex
fcan has brown or. black eyes and they
well, they are the poorest shots In
the world.

Infertile Eggs
Keep Best

The greatest loss in preserved eggs
comes from the fact that fertile eggs
are preserved, according to G. S. An
derson of the Colorado Agricultural
college. Fertile eggs will keep equally
as well as infertile eggs, providing at
no time they have been brought to a
degree of heat where the germ starts
to develop. In holding fertile eggs for
preserving, they should not be allowed
to get above so degrees Fahrenheit.
During the early spring months this is
easily done, but in warmer weather
poultrymen should take the precaution
and produce infertile eggs. Fertiliza-
ton is not an incentive to egg produc-
ton among domestic fowls, and the
number of eggs produced will be, in no
way diminished.
The fertile eggs contain no germ to
be developed, withstand more heat,
are slow to decay, and can be preserv-
ed with the minimum amount of loss.

Expert Explains How Coal
Should Be Selected to Get
Best Results From Furnace

Some valuable suggestions for select
ing, storing and using coal in house
heating equipment are offered by Will
liam III. Reid, chief smoke inspector Of
the city of Chicago. According to
ruling Of the United States fuel adj
mfnistration domestic consumers who
burned hard coal last winter may or
der two-thirds as much coal Of this
grade as they used last year. A one
third deficit must be made up Of btu
minous or soft coal from the mines of
Illinois, Indiana and small part of
Kentucky.
Anthracite coal, on account Of re-
quiring less attention, has always been
considered the ideal coal for house
heating purposes" said Mr.. Reid. "a
round fire pot can be filled and left
alone for from Il to Is hours. This
is so because the anthracite coal is
necessarily slow-burning fuel and
delivers its heat very slowly. 1t also
contains more heat units per pound
than the average bituminous coal, and
for that reason more bituminous coal
than anthracite is required to do the
same amount of heating
'The householder in buying soft coal
for his bins should select coal of the
same size as the hard coal used. The
size should not exceed three-inch
Jumps. Soft coal is freer burning
fuel ON account Of the gas it contains.
For this reason the two exhibit differ
ent characteristics when burning and
should not be fired in the same way.
'Bituminous coal should be fired by
placing the fresh charge on one side Of
the CRATE only, leaving part of the sur

Good Wartime Dishes.

A most tasty combination which was
discovered quite by accident is the fol-
lowing: In preparing a potato salad
for small family the addition OF
two guests made the stretching of the
salad imperative, so cupful of nice
ly seasoned cottage cheese, which had
been left over, was added to the pota-
to salad, making such tasty one that
hereafter we will use cottage cheese
with our potato salad. A pimento had
been used to season the cheese, which
added to the appetizing flavor.

Your CLEANING Closet.

A closet, cupboard or wardrobe in
the kitchen is the best place for keep
ing the cleaning utensils. A backstair
closet is also good place. One end
of a back porch may be inclosed and
used for such purpose. The closet
should have plenty of hooks and racks
for utensils and shelf for cleaning
materials.
The housekeeper should choose uten-
sils according to her own needs and
according to the requirements of her
house. Those suggested below are in
expensive and will help to tighten the
work of cleaning:

quires No Sugar-EspeciaIIy
important This Year.
EFFICIENT DRIER IS CHEAP
Currents Of Heated Air Pass Over
Product as Well as Up Through 1t
Inducing More Rapid and
S"i Uniform Drying.

Special emphasis is placed this year
by food conservation specialists on the
Importance. of drying. This method
requires no sugar, and as its advan-
tages become better known is attain
ing wide popularity. Nearly every
product of the soil can be dried and
thus preserved for use months and
even years later. Bulletins describing
tested drying methods will be sent free
on application to the United States
department Of agriculture.
Vegetables and fruits can be dried
In an oven, in trays or racks over the
kitchen stove, or in specially con-
structed drier. There are small driers
on the market which give satisfactory
results. The small cookstove driers
or evaporators are small ovenlike
structures usually made of galvanized
sheet. iron, or of wood and galvanized
iron They are of such size that they
can be placed OF The top of an ordi-
nary gas, wood or coal range or kero-
sene stove.
A Homemade Drier.
A drier that can be used on a gas,
wood or coal range or kerosene stove
can be easily and cheaply made. The
dimensions of the ones shown in the
photograph are: base "a by 16 inches |;
height, 36 inches Gncluding the base).
The drier can be made smaller if de-
sired.
The base, 6 inches high, is made of
galvanized sheet iron. 1t flares toward
the bottom, and has two small open
ings for ventilation in each Of the
four sides. On the base rests box
like frame made Of l or 11a-inch
Strips Of wood. The two sides are
braced with 1A-inch strips which
serve as cleats on which the trays in
the drier rest. These are placed at
intervals of inches. The frame Is
covered with tin or galvanized sheet
iron which Is tackled to the wooden
strips of the frame. Thin strips of
wood may be used instead of tin or
sheet iron. The door is fitted on small
hinges and fastened with a thumb
latch. 1t opens wide so that the trays
can easily be removed. The bottom
in the drier is made Of piece of per-
forated galvanized sheet iron. Two
inches above the bottom is placed a
solid sheet of galvanized iron, three
inches less in length and width than
the bottom. This sheet rests on two
wires fastened to the sides of the
drier. This prevents the direct heat
from coming in contact with the prod
uct and serves as radiator to spread
the heat more evenly.
Will Hold Eight Trays.
The first tray is placed 8 inches
above the radiator. The trays rest on
the cleats inches apart. A drier of
the given dimensions will hold eight
trays. The frame for the tray is made
of 1-inch strips on which is tackled gal
vanized screen wire, which forms the
bottom of the tray. The tray is 81 by
10 inches, making 1t 3 inches less In
depth than the drfer. The lowest tray
when placed in the drier is pushed to
the back, leaving the 3-inch space in
front. The next tray is placed even
with the front, leaving 3-inch space
in the back. The other trays alternate
in. the same way. A ventilator opening

Cleanliness in Bread Making.

Cleanliness is important in all
forms of cookery, but important
for several reasons in bread
making. Bread almost always
contains bacteria, and these are
likely to produce In dough sub
stances which spoil the flavor of
the bread. Yeast has no flavor
which survives the cooking, and
the substances which it pro-
duces, carbon dioxide and alco-
hol, are driven off by the heat
of the oven. Bacteria, on the
other hand, are likely to pro-
duce sour or rancid substances
which are not removed by bak-
ing.

Air Current Hastens DrYina.

The principle of construction is that
currents of heated air pass over the
product as well as up through 1T,
gathering the moisture and passing
away. The current of air induces a
more rapid and uniform drying. The
upper trays can be shifted to the lower
part Of the drier and the lower trays
to the upper part as drying proceeds,
so as to dry products uniformly
throughout.
