serve eggs for the home during
the fall and winter when fresh
eggs are scarce and hard to
get. Most housewives can
fruit and vegetables and make
preserves during the season
wnen these products are plenti-
fui and cheap in price for use
during the cold wintry days
when the fresh products is not
obtainable or if so only at a
high cost. They have learned
by experience that this is not
only a logical but thrifty
thing to do. Remember that
eggs as well as fruit have
their season of greatest plenty
and that it is just as foresight
ed and thrifty policy to pre-
serve them as to can peaches.
For complete directions how
to preserve eggs consult your

ty Agricultural Agent or write
to your State Agricultural Col
lege or to the Bureau of Animal
Industry, Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, ID. c.
Preserve Eggs: 1t is very
necessary that eggs to be pre-
served be nice and fresh when
put into the preserving solution
If best results are to be obtain

eggs does not improve their
quality. Better eggs cannot be
taken out of the solution than
were put in. Because infertile
eggs keep better than fertile

they are likely to be better
quality when resolved. There

Red Gross Assisting
Americans II Berlin

American citizens who have
been detained in Berlin since
the United States declared war
on Germany are now receiving
assistance from the American
Red Cross whenever such aid
is needed. While the principal
work of the American Red
Cross mission now in Germany
is the distribution OF relief
among the hundreds of thOus-
that country, the Red Cross
workers are extending help
ands of Russian prisoners in
to such of their maroOned fell
low cOuntrymen as need it.
For the most part this help
consists i'm supplementing the
scanty government ration on
which the Americans have had
a hard job keeping alive dur.
ling the last year or more.
Americans caught in Berlin at
the time of this country enter.
ed the war and who have
been subject to the closest mill
tary regulations during the
cOnflict, are in the great ma
Ijority women and children
students and the like. with a
Ismall number OF business men.
Most of them are able and only
too glad to pay the Red Cross
for its additional food, though
in needy cases the food is sup
piled free.
Upon producing satisfactory
cvidence of American citizen
lship the Americans are permit
ted to buy al less than cost,
food boxes containing coffee
tea, sugar, beans. dried fruits
Icanned tomatoes, condensed
milk and salmon. Thus far
about 200 Americans have
bought these boxes. They
have been subject to the same
ration regulations as the Ger
man civilian population, bur
they have been unable to add

Keep after the insects n the
garden. Arsenate Of lead for
those that chew and eat the
leaves, nicotine sulphate and
soap for those suck, like plant
lice.
There is no remedy for the
blossom-end rot of the tomato.
Keep the plant growing we'll,
and where possible irrigate
during a dry time; where wat
ering cannot be done, mulch
the plants, but do not expect
not to have the blOssOm-end
rot. Pick off the rotting fruit
and give the plants good care.
There is nothing else to do.
Keep the garden clean and
free from weeds. Keep the
cultivation up so as to conserve
the moisture in the soil. Gull
tlvate more frequently during
a dry time than it is wet.
Now is the time to begin
preparations for the Fair.
Wheat and oats are now in the
shock, good bundles should be
selected and put away 50 your
exhibit will be choice and not
just any thing, also put away
some of the thrashed grain for
your exhibit. Begin thinking
about the live stock you can
bring and give little attention.
Keep it sprayed and oiled to
keep off the ,icc aid to keep
the hair in a live thrifty condi-
ton. Remember your exhibit
at the fair should be selected
for that purpose and not Just
picked up because you want to
bring something. The plans fo.
the fair this year are for the
biggest and best fair that Bry-
an county has ever put on. BE
a part of it and help to make
Bryan the best County in the
state.

SUNLIGHT is FOE OF DEATH
The More Man or Woman Can Get /.
Of Il, the Healthier and Hap
III pier Will They BE.

One time we were tramping the for
ests of North, Carolina in search OF
game. When none came and we wished
to return to camp we discovered we
were completely turned around. !"
Then we recalled reading one time,
Light is life, moss always grows on
the north side OF the tree trunk-far-
thest removed from the rays Of the
sum-" We set about looking for moss.
and sure enough IL was on the same
side of each tree. With this as q guide
it didn't take us long to find our way
back to the place whence we came.
But the point we wish to make is that
the moss would not have been on the
north side OF the tree If 1t hadn't been
impossible for the suns rays to reach
It. Moss thrives on death. And death
is always found in the wake of the
sunless path. The more sunlight there
Is in your life the more you live. The
freer yon are from moss and the
things that thrive without light, the
better man or woman you are. Get all
the sunlight you can into your sleep
ing and waking hours.-Milwaukee

ENGLISH AS WORLD LANGUAGE
Writer Sees Strong indication Of It's
Supremacy a. One Result Of
the Great War.

All the indications are that the uni
versal language will be English. The
formal draft of the treaty Of Versailles
Will be couched In the traditional Ian
guage Of diplomacy, the language of
Foch and Clemenceau, but the discus
sions at Paris and Versailles were in
the tongue which President Wilson and
most OF our peace delegates have best
at their disposal. Perhaps it is no
compliment to us that the European
peacemakers should be in a position
to meet us more than half way In the
matter Of foreign tongues. but the fact
is there.
The French language will prosper
after the war. In more or less perfect
form it will be brought back to Amer
lea. to Australia, to Canada, to South
Africa by soldiers and auxiliary war
workers to the number of many tens
OF thousands But for every Anglo
Saxon whom the war has taught
French itis.a safe guess that there are
hundred mid Europeans to whom as
result of the war, emphasizing al
ready existing conditions. the English
tongue will be brought close to home.
Because the new Czecho-Slovakia must
be in intimate touch with million
Czechs and SlOvaks in the United
States, because there are several mill
lion Poles in this country, because
every one of the new nationalities in
central Europe looks in the first place
to these United States, the American
language will be familiar among all
foreign languages to these people. For
that matter, the numerous commits
sions and propagandas of mid-Europe
which have been busy in the United
States will have brought back with
them the use, if not the idiom, of our
language. -Exchange
