CANNED EGGS
Eggs should U' preserved during
Mari.ii, April, May and June, when the
production Is greatest and the price Is
lowest. Eggs preserved In water glass
can be successfully kept for as long a
time as one year. They are practically
as good as fresh eggs for all cooking
purposes. The commercial water glass
solution may be obtained from any
drug store. Water glass In the form of
a powder 1* now on the market. It can
be dl*s> lived In a definite quantity of
water, as stated In the directions on
the package, and for this reason is
more reliable than the store kind.
If the commercial water glass solu
tion is to be used mix one and one
half Quarts with eighteen quarts of
pur® water; water that has been boiled
Is preferable. Stir the mixture until
the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
A stone Jar is the most suitable vessel
for the mixture. Two eight gallon Jars
are sufficient for thirty dozen eggm.
using the amount of solution just pre
scribed. After the water glass Is thor
oughly mixed pour it Into the vessels to
be used, being surp that the vessels are
absolutely clean. Place the eggs In the
water glass, see that th'.'se at the top
are submerged tinder at least two
Inches of the liquid and cover the Jars
in order to prevent evaporation. Put
the Jars in a cool place where they will
be undisturbed during the year.
Preserve only absolutely fresh eggs;
stale eggs will not keep in any preserv
ative. Have your preservative ready to
receivo the fresh eggs as you get them.
If there is any doubt as to the fresh
cess of the eggs candle them, or see
whether th»y sink when placed In a
dish of fresh water. If an egg sinks It
ts reasonably fresh.
Do not preserve dirty eggs or eggs
that have been washed. Washed eggs
will not keep because the protective
gelatinous coating has been removed
by the washing, and dirty eggs will be
come tainted In flavor.
Do not use the same liquid preserva
tive more than a year.
Use spring eggs, they will keep better
than summer or fall eggs.
Use Infertile eggs rather than fertile
egss for preserving.
Rinse the eegs with water after re
moving them from the preservative.
Egga that are In good condition when
removed from the water glass solution
will usually remain good for at least
two weeks.
If It Is desired to boll eggs preserved
la water glass prick a small hole
through the large end of the shell be
fore placing them In the water. The
pore® of the shell have been sealed by
the water glass solution and without
the pinhole the expanding air within
the shell would burst it.

Caring the Lawn
louring Hot Weather
Maintenance of an attractive blue j
grass lawn necessitates tbe devotion of
considerable time to Its care, points
out M. F. Ahearn, professor of land
scape gardening In the Kansas 8tate
Agricultural college.
Tbe lawn should be cut every ten i
days to two weeks, and It Is advisable
to set tbe knives of the mower as high
as possible to avoid Injuring the young,
succulent cells near the roots by per
mitting tbe sun's rays to burn out tbe
roots. It may be necessary to weed
the lawn once or twice provided it has
been seeded In the spring.
During July and August the lawn
will require closer attention than at
any other time. Where shade is not
abundant It will be necessary to Irri
gate and perhaps do some band weed
ing. Maintaining vigorous growth of
grass early in the season will help to
carry It through this trying period. It
would also be of great help if no cut
ting were done from tbe last of July
to the middle of September. For the
small lawn the price of a good stand of
grass is coustant attention and good
care.
A Hawk and • Hymn.
Charles Wesley, brother of John We»
! ley, who founded tbe Methodist chutch,
wrote soma 6,000 hymns. "Jesus, Lov
er of My Soul," was the moat popular
of any he wrote. Ho got the Idea for
this one day as he was sitting at his
desk. A bird pursued by ft hawk flew
in at the open window. The hawk,
afraid to follow, flew away, and Wes
ley, struck by the Incident, was at once
inspired to write a song, applying what
he had witnessed to our spiritual life.

The Face
In the Well
By EDWARD T. STEWART
Driving alonjr u country road, sine*
I had not watered my steel horse—
that Is, put water in lay radiator tank
—for some time, I looked out for A
place to fill it. I cauie presently to a
farmhouse where a girl sat on a porch,
1 saw a well house ou the grounds and,
pulling up at the gate, asked her if sh«
would permit me to fill my tank. Sh«
hesitated, then said:
"You'll lia\e to draw the water your
self."
"Of course I'll draw it myself. Why
did you think I would expect you to
do itr
"I wouldn't If I were you."
"Wouldn't what?"
"Draw the water."
I looked at her curiously. She waa
dressed in white and black. There was
a marked sadness in her visage.
"Why do you advise mo not to draw
the water?" I asked.
"Because a face will look up at you
out of tho well that will freer® tba
marrow in your bones."
It was evident to me that her mind
was unhinged, but I was curious and
encouraged her to tell me more about
the face in the well. She heuitated a
moment, then said:
"I had a brother. He and father
didn't get on well at all. It seemed to
me that the reason was that Ben came
when father was passing Into old age
"One evening father was lecturing
Ben, reproaching him for the trouble
he gave. I was sitting in my room by
the window. I hoard high words be
tween them, and then I saw in the
gloaming Ben run out over the ground.
It was nearly dark, and I could sou him
only as far as the well house. Father
followed him there. The last I saw of
theai father's baud was raised to strike.
I covered my face with my hands, and
that Is the last I knew of anything for
a week.
"When I returned to consciousness i
knew that father bad killed Ben and
thrown him down the welL"
She paused and shuddered.
"How do you know your father did
that?"
"Oh, I know It, I know it!"
She manifested such emotion that I
gave her time to recover from It. When
she had done so, she continued:
"I felt what had been done, though I
said nothlDg of it to any one. They
told me Ben had gone away. As soon
as I was able I went to the well. I
dreaded to look down Into It, but I
couldn't help doing so. I approached
and put my hands on the stone coping
and remained in that position till I
could bring myself to look down at the
water t>elow.
"X gave a shriek and fell to the
ground. They all came running out of
the honse and carried me back to bed."
"What frightened you 7"
"I suw Ben's face down In the well."
I needed uo further information as to
tha cause and nature of the girl's trou
ble. I did not try to assist her out of
her malady, but, going to the well,
drew a bucket of water, filled my tank
and, having thanked her, got Into my
car aud drove away.
I found It Impossible to get this girl
out of my mind. A desire took posses
sion of me to cure her ailment. Later
I drove back to the place and got the
balance of her story from her neigh
bors. Fler father and her brother had
really had trouble. The boy had fled,
and the father had followed htm. Tbe
father returned to the house, but the
boy had never been seen there since.
It occurred to me that the way to
cure the girl was to find the boy. I
learned his name, but to find any Indi
vidual In this big world Is like looking
for a needle in a haystack. The gtrl
had certainly a marked effect on me or
I would never have undertaken the
task. She was on my nilnd all the
while. I suppose I had fallen In love
with her. At any rate, I was under a
spell concerning her.
Since I could not divert myself of
my enthrallment I went to work me
thodically. If George Efigllsh—that
was his name—hud not g'>ne to some
foreign country, there was chance.
I spent a great deal of money advertis
ing, but to no effect.
Meanwhile the threat world war
broke out. Considering the young,
iter's idiosyncrasies, I thought it pos
sible that he miirht have wished to
have a hand in it. If so he would
probably have gone to Canada and en
listed there. I went there and, exam
ining the rosters of the different ros
ters, found his name on the rolls of an
infantry regiment.
I doubted if anything short of pro
ducing the young man himself would
cure the i (valid, so I snid nothing
about the trace I had found, but con
eluded to go to Belirluni, find him aud
If I could not bring him home arrange
for his si«ter to go to him. While I
was making my preparations 1 saw In
a newspaper an announcement that
George English of the British aero
plane corps had brought down his fifth
enemy In the air.
The puzr.le now was how to bring
George to his sister cr take her to him.
The former was not to be considered.
The latter T finally effected by going to
relatives of hers, whom I convinced
that If she saw her brother alive she
would probably be cured of her mal
ady. They took her to Trance and
from there to the British lines, where
her brother appeared to her In the flesh.
The principal part of the cure was
effected at once, but a complete resto
i r«tlon did not come for many months.
Of course after what I had done for
her I had a great advantage in win
olng her.
