Probably no single article of food
can be utilized by the housewife In a
greater cumber of dlshee than eggs.
Kggs preserved In waterglass can be
used with good results for all pur
poses In cooking and for the table.
When such eggs are to be boiled, a
small hole should be made with a pin
In the shell st the large end, before
putting them In the water. This Is
done to allow the air In the egg to
escape when the egg Is heated, snd so
prevent cracking.
Only very fresh eggs, preferably
from one to three days old, should be
preserved. If possible the ejrgs should
be Infertile. Under no circumstances
should badly soiled eg be used.
Dirty eggs will spoil, and If thoy are
washed the protective rontlng which
prevents spoiling Is removed. Cracked
eggs should never he put down In
waterglass. Kven minute cracks may
cause spoilage and contamination of
the other eggs in the jar. It Is a wise
precaution to examine every egg by
candling It before uln&
Usually a few eggs are put down In
waterglass at a time, whenever they
are not needed for Immediate con
sumption. A five-gallon crock, there
fore, Is a good size to use for the pur
pose. It should be set wherever It Is
to be kept before any eggs are put In,
as It would be difficult to move It
without endungering the eggs, later
on. A five-gallon Jar will be large
enough to hold 13 doen evgs and still
permit at least two Inches of the
waterglass solution to stand over the
tops of the eggs.
The United .States Department of
Agriculture gives the following direc
tions for the preparation of the crock
and the preserving solution:
First cleon the crock thoroughly.
Scsld It and allow It to dry. Heat a
quantity of water to the boiling point
and allow It to cool. When It Is cool,
measure out nine gallons of water,
and add one quart of sodium silicate,

most drug stores. Mix well. Eggs
may now be put Into the solution
whenever thera are any extra ones.

to make than a custard pie. The shell
Is baked tint, the filling Is made In
the double boiler, and then a meringue
Is spread over the top and nicely

dessert with a meringue seems a lit

"I have such a nice suit," said Mr.
Fox Sparrow. "It Is stylish, I think,
to wear a reddish brown coat and a

"And your dress Is nice, too."
"Ah,' yes," agreed Mrs. Fox Spar

own dress.
"I like to moult and Improve my
feathers, but I like to have them come
back the same way as they were, that
Is the same color and of the same
kind."
"Perhaps Its .because of our reddish
brown feathers that we are called fox
sparrows," said Mr. Fox Sparrow.
"Are foxes reddish brown, and have
they feathers?" asked Mrs. Fox Spar
row. Lower them carefully Into the crock
to avoid cracking them. I!o very care
ful to keep at least two Inches of the
waterglass solution above the top
layer of eggs. The crock should be
well covered to prevent evaporation.
Waxed poper tied around the top will
be satisfactory, as It Is easily removed
for adding more eggs. If the solution
evaporates perceptibly, more should
be mixed in the same proportion and
used to maintain the level.
Eggs preserved In this way may be
taken out at any tlmo. If waterglass
cannot be obtained, eggs may be pre
served In a solution of lime water
made by dissolving two or three pounds
of unslaked lime In Ave gallons of

isdiction of the amendment
"Whan the President, on July 8,
19.10, signed the McNary Mapes amend
ment to the food and drugs act, the
food and drug administration was as
signed a task of tremendous magni
tude," said Doctor Dunbar. "The ad
ministration recognized the merits ol
this legislation, however, and was will
ing to assume the added burden ol
enforcing It. The admltilstrstlon be
lieved that the measure offered a ma
terially Inrreaecd protection to tha
American consumer of canned foods
and likewise offered a protection to
canners sgalnst the damaging ron
petition of low grade products. This
Initial conviction of the admlulstra
tlon has not changed. '
"The amendment Is remarkable as a
piece of legislation for two reasons,"
said Doctor Dunbar. "It Is the first
step taken by congress In the direction
of granting the secretary of agricul
ture formal authority to make and
promulgate Irgal standards for food
products. Second, It Is sn outstanding
example of a voluntary Imposition, by
a great Industry upon Itself, of addi

solely through the Initiative and effort
of the canning Industry,
"I am afraid," declared the speak

Industry a philanthropic or wholly un
selfish Interest In the welfsre of the
American consumer as the only mo

the contrary, the canning Industry
recognized In a fsrslghted way the
need for Just auch legislation If the
Industry Itself Is to prosper. That
recognition grew from the apprecia
tion of the fact that the consumer's
best Interests are parallel with those
