KEEP ON BUILDING
About that improvement you
are planning—
' Why not go ahead with it?
Every reason in the world says
you should.
Never in our nation s history
have we been so prosperous as
now. and here are the reasons:
Since the beginning of the Euro
pean war, three years ago, na
tions across thewvater ha^e been
pouring their gold into this coun
try in an ever increasing stream
to buy the our products, until
America has become the world's
money center. Now those same
nations have borrowed back sev
eral billions of this same money,
paying interest thereon and ob
ligating themselves to spend prac
tically every dollar of that vast
sum for our products. This has
brought prices of our products to
a high point never dreamed of
by our producers. Should the
great war continue another year
this same borrowing and buying
process must be repeated, for the
nations have no other market in
which to borrow or buy. Should
the war cease tomorrow, years
must elapse before the devastated
countries can rebuild their great
industries and resume their nor
mal rate of production.
Thus a profitable market for
the products of America’s broad
acres and American industries,
and fair profits in. all lines of le
gitimate effort are absolutely cer
tain tor many years to come.
There should be no curtailment
ln building and road construction.
Both public and private construc
tion should proceed. Production
and handling of building mate
rials and public and private con
struction work are fundamental
industries of the country. Any
tendency to suspend or postpone
building projects is inconsistent
with maintaining our prosperity.
Building investors should not
hesitate to go ahead with their
Plans. Railroads should spare
no effort to supply the building
industries with cars needed tc
Bansport materials. Govern
ment, State, county and munici-,
pal authprities should encourage
the continuance of all kinds of
building. Road and street im-i
provements, in particular, should
go on unabated. Bad roads and
streets are factors of first impor
tance in the present high cost of
feedstuffs. Never before was
the improvement of highways so
essential.
The lumber, brick, cement,
lime, sand, gravel, stone and
other building material industries
are basic. Neither government
regulations nor railroad restric
tions should be imposed unneces
sarily to interfere with them. If
any action is taken which results
in the prostration of so funda
mentally important industries,
there is real danger of a surplus of
unemployed labor and a crippling
of business that will seriously em
barrass the Government in finan
cing the war.
The right thing to do is to
keep on building.
Preserve Your Eggs
Eggs are scarce and high
priced during some months of
the year. Every housewife can
guard against this scarcity and
high price if she will preserve
eggs when they are plentiful and
cheap.
WATER GLASS METHOD.
The most practical way for the
housewife to preserve eggs is by
the “water glass” method. “Wa
ter glass” (silicate sodium) can
be bought at any drug store. It
is a syrupy liquid and should al
ways be used in the proportion
of one part of water glass to
nine parts of cool water which
has been boiled. By using these
proportions eggs can be preserv
ed in any jar or crock filled with
the solution and they will keep
several months if stored in a cool
cellar or room where the air is
fresh.
SELECTING THE EGGS.
Eggs should be put in the wa
ter glass solution the same day
they are laid. They must be
clean, but unwashed, and hav
ing good shells. Be careful
and do not crack them in filling
the jar. Since infertile eggs nat
nralW toan Inncrpr and fresher
than than fertile eggs, it is best
to use infertile eggs. In filling
the jar, be sure to leave about 3
inches of the solution over the
eggs. When filled, cover the jar
with heavy paper. This will
keep the solution clean and help
prevent evaporation. Inspect the
jars regularly and see that they
are kept filled with the solution.
Do not let enough of the solution
evaporate to expose any of the
eggs to the air.

glass, take them from the solu
tion and wash them in cold ,wa
ter. If they are to be boiled, a
couple of small holes must be
* pricked in the shells with a nee
dle, or the contents may break
the shell while boiling.
THE COST.
The method for preserving
eggs given above has been thor
oughly tested by the U. S. Agri
cultural Department chemists,
and is by them recommended as
reliable. They estimate cost of
the process, including cost of the
the sodium sylicate or “water
glass,” to be about one and one
half cents per dozen.
