I* One and the system. The oppo
Sime. Bltion has come
from publicists, leg
islators and military men. Their con

and obstructive Is not worthy a
thought now. The other kind could be
shouted down, but yet remains to be
disposed of. effectively.
Oue sound objection, among others.
Is that conscription robs the army of
the fine spirit of volunteer soldiery.
That is an asset too valuable, even too
vital to be lost. It can be put into the
conscript ranks by the people them
selves. The law 19 fixed, aud it re
malus for all concerned to make the
best of It.
The lottery drawing should be hon

lot imposes an obligation wherever it
ful'.s. the same obligation as the act of
volunteering Imposes. The duty call
is the same, and the response may be
the same !f the distinction between

thought and discussion. Merge the
ideal of the one into soldier and the
onus of the other must dlsap;>ear as

Carranza has enjraired an efficiency ex

One of the first thing's he must do is
to banish that word "manana" from
the popular vocabulary.
Mexico remains one sure center of
trouble to interest if not involve the
United States. A sphere of moral In

"MY COMPANY FIRST,"
THE REGRUIT'S MOTTO
By CAPTAIN GEORGE. L. KILMER.
After the war novice haa taken his
stand on the motto "My country first!"
and prepares to tight for It he must
face the call of another slogan less
appealing at the start, but one to grow
on him—"My company first.1" This
company fealty is his everyday Job.
He must work for that as ceaselessly
as he studied and worked at school
for the honor of his school or his ball
club or team.
Getting down to the company plane
of thought and action playa havoc
with Imaginary Ideals. But right here
the Individual Is put to test as a sol
dier. The officers, and the crowd "size"
him up. Culture and manners are re

ATTENTION.
' spected provided the novice mattes
good at coarse work, trench digging,
hiking and running, as well as at drill
and on parade.
Lacking a chance at hard practice
with ax or spade, the beginner can
make progress by the simple process
I of club swinging movements. Club
swinging develops muscles of limb,
chest, abdomen and back. Help may
be had also by horizontal bar exer
cises, jumping and climbing. In com
pany work, which Is enlarged team
work, the Importance of these things
appears. Some of the number will be
expert at one thing and set a stand
ard for all to train up to. The recruit
with his specialty will be a teacher
for others and learn from others
wherein he lacks. Here comes into
play the faculty of attention. Every
man knows his own fallings and the
merits of another.
General Who Will Lead
Our Soldiers In France
Major General John J. Fershing, who
has been selected to l<jad tho first di
vision of American soldiers in France,
is known in the army as "Black Jack."
He is a native of Missouri, fifty-seven
years of age and was graduated from
West Point in 18S0. After leaving the
Military academy he saw much service
in the various campaigns against the
Indians. He won a captain's commis

and shortly after was sent to the Phil
ippines.
For his services In quelling the
Moros of Mindanao President Roose

General Pershing Is a son-in-law of

CAN YOUR EGGS!
Mien They Are Cheap Preserve |
Them In Water Glass.
EXPERTS TELL US HOW TO.
Instead of Relyina en Wartime Prices
and Coid Storage, Be Ambitioue and
Hoard Your Eggs In a Big Crock
Down In Your Collar.
[Prepared by the New TorU State College
^ of Agriculture.]
Eggs should be preserved during
March, April, May and Juue, when tha
production Is greatest and the price is
lowest. Eggs preserved In water glass
atn be successfully kept for as loug a
time as one year. They are practically
is good as fresh eggs for all cooking
purposes. The commercial water glass
solution may be obtained from any
irug store. Water glass In the form otf
i powder is now on the market. It can
be dissolved 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
balf quarts with eighteen quarts of
pure 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
tor the mixture. Two eight gallon jars
ire sufficient for thirty dozen eggs,
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 sure that the vessels are
absolutely clean. Place the eggs In the
water glass, see that those at tho top
sre submerged under at least two
Inches of the liquid and cover tho 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;
utale eggs will "not keep in any preserv
stlve. nave your preservative ready to
receive the fresh eggs as you get them.
If there Is any doubt as to the fresh
ness of tho eggs candle them, or see
whether they sink when placed in a
dish of fresh water. If an egg sinks it
Is 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
eggs for preserving.
Rinse the eggs with water after re
moving them from the preservative.
Eggs 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 boil eggs preserved
in water gflass prick a small hole
through the largo eud of the shell be
fore placing them In the water. The
pores of the shell have been sealed by
the water glass solution and without
the pinhole the expanding air within
the shell would burst It.
