WATER GLASS BEST
TO PRESERVE EGGS

Preserving eggs in water glass has
become q general practice, and Is
meeting with perfect success where
sver tried. provided It is properly car.
lied on Remember that II you put In
poor egg, you are going to take out
a poor one.
Eggs 20 be put In water glass should
De fresh sound and clean. They
should be gathered daily and preserved
the same day on which they are laid.
Infertile eggs are conducive TO the best
success.
The method Of preservation Is as
Follows Take one quart OF water
glass. which can be secured at any
drug store at about 81 per gallon, and
mix with ten quarts Of water that has
been boiled and then cooled. Stir
thoroughly and place In a crockery
vessel. never using galvanized or tin
vessels. Place In q cool. weII-ven.
tilated cellar. and add eggs as you
gather them from day to day, always
keeping the solution one inch above
the eggs. and keeping the crock Gov
cred with lid Of some kind to pre-
vent too much evaporation.
Eggs preserved In this manner viii
keep perfectly for one year.
The water glass solution viii not
injure the hands. 50 do not be afraid
TO handle the eggs in the solution
Do not use the solution more than
one year.
II Is hard TO tell a water glass egg
from a fresh egg, If the former Is
kept But by considering the
price now and in winter. you can az
ford to eat three water glass eggs
next winter where you could eat only
one fresh one and still have some
money left. It will be found hard TO
boil water glass eggs. but by pune
turing the large end with needle. to
allow the air to escape. and allowing
the water 70 come to boil gradually.
you will not experience much trouble.

Increase Yield of Eggs
by DESTROYING All Mites

Poultry men and farmers sometimes
overlook a very important fact. II is
that the best Of feed. plenty Of 1t. well
balanced ration. etc. will not induce
hens to lay eggs If they are compelled
to roost in houses infested with mites
The little red insect saps the vital
ity Of the hen by sucking her blood.
Hens have actually been killed. vir,
tualIy eaten alive, by mites. Chickens
cannot lay except when their vitality
is maintained. Vitality and mites can.
not exist in the same hen r0Osf.
Guard against mites by giving all
woodwork inside the poultry house a
coat OF hot whItewash well carbolized
The roosts and their supports
should be painted all over with car.

The time and cost Of carrying out
these suggestions VIII be amply repaid
BY the hens who will show their ap-

THE INSANITY PROBLEM
BY H. AddinqtOn Bruce

IT HERE still exists, I find, widespread
belief that the insanity problem is
chiefly problem of rural life. How
ever sound this belief may once have been,
it is erroneous today. Cities and towns are
pre-eminently the producers of insanity.
In New York State, for example, on the
basis of first admissions to state hospitals
for the mentally i'll, the average annual
urban rate is nearly 70 per 100000 gen
eral population, as contrasted with a rural
rate Of slightly more than 40 per 100000.
Moreover, in this fact of the adverse 1nrlu-
ence of city life on the mental health is to
be found the explanation OF the increasing
prevalence Of mental diseases
Forty years ago less than 80 per cent Of
the population of the United States were city
jewellers. Now the city population is more
than so per cent Of the whole. And the
drift cityward is steadily becoming more ac-
centuated.
Does this mean that insanity will likewise
become more and more in evidence? Re-
searches into its causes indicate that this is
what is to be feared, unless more earnest
effort is made than in the past to cope with
certain preventable conditions known to be
peculiarly provocative of mental lnaladies.
In especial there is need for a far-reaching
endeavor to persuade people to cultivate self
control and a wholesome life philosophy.
This is really fundamental to any effective
campaign for the lessening of insanity.
When control is weak and when the life
attitude is wrong-most of all when SELFISH
ness rules and material comforts and pleas
urss are deemed the great ends of existence
"a profound dissatisfaction is soon late
felt. Not unnaturally relief from this is
sought, and often the means chosen make
directly or indirectly for insanity.
Thus, relief may be sought by recourse to
immoral living. But immoral living involves
| exposure to a disease germ known to cause
one of the worst of all insanities. And
a matter of fact about Is per cent of the
insanity of today is due to this germ
Or there may be turning, not to im-
morality but to alcohol or drugs. These, too
and especially if there is present any Unborn
mental weakness, are notorious insanity
producers.
And yet again, while refraining from inn
morality, alcoholism, or drugs, the dissatis-
fled may strive to escape from themselves
and from boredom by over-working or over
playing or both-by an incessant seeking Of
excitement and of sensations to promote
forgetfulness
Living at too fast pace they may bring
on an arterial hardening. From arteral
hardening insanity not infrequently results
The cultivation of hygienic living habits
is in fact measure that would count for
much in insanity prevention. But the great
need, the urgent need it cannot be too
strongly stressed, is development Of self
mastery and the gaining of insight into thH
meaning and higher purposes of life.
| Then and only then will the insanity-pro-
voking stresses and allurements of modern
! life-and above ALL of modern city life--be
more successfully resisted than is the
case.

to cover long distance during daylight.

with a view to secrecy and economy, is to
concentrate all the radiated energy into di-
rect beams. 1t may be necessary in the near
future to regulate by international legisla-
ton, the use of short waves and to safeguard
them from preventable interference"
The distinguished inventor declared, more
over, that the short-wave beam system would
make possible the daily transmission of a
larger number of words. He let it be known
in this connection that stations Of this type
were being erected in England Nv his COM
pany under contract with the government,
and also in the Dominions. Telling of his
recent experiments on the Atlantic and in
the Mediterranean, he said that they "had
confirmed the fact that for waves of from
one hundred to thirty-two metres the day
light absorption decreased rapidly with the
shortening of the wave length" and hat
