Eggs Can In> Preserved Second Sen Non If Solution Is ( lean. Clcmaon College, June 21.?If the solution of water glass you used last year does not have an offensive odor and appears to be in good condition, it will be quite satlaruetory to employ It again this year for preserving eggs. We conducted Heveral experiments for two seasons using water glass solu f ?n a second time that appeared to tho eye and smell to be clean and sweet, and In evory tent the eggs in the old solution were preserved in good condition. Tains; the solution of water glass fot two yeara reduces the cost of tho preservative one-half. If the solution is uaed on a year for pre? serving eggs the cost will be one nod two-thirds cents a dozen eggs; whlb?, if the sasae solution Is made use of for two years, the cost of the prt-servatlve Is five-sixth of a cent a dosen eggs?a considerable re? duction If a great number of eggs are preserved.

The governor sent the following tel a gram: "Have been Informed that members of the National Guard at? tending the officers' training camps are receiving no salary as provided for civilians attending such camps. Neither are they receiving pay as en? listed men of the National Guard while absent from their organisations. I am confident that this matter has escaped your attention. Our men generally are dependent for a living on what they earn and have not In? dependent means. I would respect? fully ask that the situation be inves? tigated with a view to alleviating the condition and that you advise me of your action." NATIONAL GUARD TO BE TRAIN? ED. Will !*?

LWVFit DM food control. 4 Soul 11 Carolina Congressman Tells Uly Radical I.cgislalion Is Essen? tial. The following statement of the seope and general purpose of the I*evor hill for food control is from Congressman Lever's speech in the house of representatives opening de hate on this measure: Mr. Chairman, whether the country realizes it or not. we aro now engaged in wnr with the most thoroughly or? ganized and autocratic military nation on tha face of the earth. Her people are the most stubborn in thought, tenacious in purpose, resourceful in methods and for generations have been schooled and trained with the one predominant thought of world dominance through industrial and mil? itary prowess. Their Industries have been organized down to the minutest detail to fit into the military ma? chine which is recognized to be the most efficient and capable and pow erful ever brought together since the begin ilng of time. The contest between German au? tocracy and American democracy will be determined in the end by the char acter and strength of the organization which one can put against the other. A loose-jointed, unorganized democ? racy has no ghost of a chance in u content with such an autocracy as i Germany. Organization is the only weapon with which organization can be overcome. Organization, as the term is used here, means not onl> whipping into shape the man power of the nation, the money power of the nation, but as well every resource of the nation which may be used in the content. That a democracy can be organized has been demonstrated repeatedly in history. It is being demonstrated in a remarkable way at this very time in thin country. In the short space of a few months the foundation of a great army has been laid, the expenditure of $7,000, 000,000 has been authorized and the machinery for the mobilization of this stupendous sum is well under way. The enthusiastic reception by the American people of the liberty bonds, largely over-subscribing them, is the best test of their willingness to get together as one in the prosecution of the taak before them; order is being worked out of chaos in the shipping industry of the county; the railroads are rapidly developing plans to meet the strain upon them incident to tlu enlarged and rather disorganized com? merce of the nation; the federal re? serve system, with its power to as? semble quickly and at strategic points tho flrancial resources of the nation, fortunately is already well established and In operation; qur munition facto ries ate highly efficient and our navy yards aro capable and ready. Indiwensahle as are these, they do not Indude all that Is needed to win this wir. Germany was ready with her great army, her navy, her industrial ma? chinery, her State-controlled shipping, her State-controlled transportation facilities, her closely coordinated banking system, her navy yards, her great Krupp's establishment and her warlike attitude of mind. All these >he had, but within live days after the mobilization of her army on the French front her food and fuel be? came a matter also of the most rigid Slate control. In t ne light of events It is easy to understand the German govern? ment's solicitude In the past for ag? riculture. She realized, as we must be male to realize, that the Napo? leonic axiom that armies fight on their bellies was true when uttered, and is even more true now. Hungry armies do not win victories. Men who light must be fed. Those who send their loved ones Into the ranks must likewise be fed. The supreme duty as well as the supreme necessity of this hour Is to feed our fighting forces, the fighting forces of our al? lies, and adequately to provide necec sarles at living nrl?es for our own civilian population of our allies. Agriculture becomes today the one industry more Important than all oth? ers. The American farmer never oc? cupied such a position of responsibil? ity. I do not uoubt how he will meet It. It was the embattled farmer at Lexington that set the flames of rev olution and liberty going. (Applause) It was tho heroic farmer at Kings Mountain that assured these liberties we now enjoy, and for the preserva? tion of which we are now fighting. The American farmer today is no les> a patriot, no less equal to the dis? charge of his responsibilities placed upon him, than were his forebears at Lexington and Kings Mountain. He can and will furnish all food neces? sary In this conflict. It Is our duty to see thnt those for whom he works shall not he gouged and robbed by heartless and unpatriotic Intermediaries; It Is our duty to see that the results of his patrio<i< efforts shnll not be made tho foot? ball of the gambler, the manipulator, ths hoarder, ths unconscionable food Speculator ami cornmrartt. It li equal? ly our duty to see that the producta I of his labor shall reach the consum- r without the waste necessarily Incident to an uncontrolled and unorganised system of distribution. (Applause.) That some kind of food and fuel control is necessary to their most ef? ficient mobilization is imperative thoughtful men everywhere recog? nize. Immediately upon the entrance o, the United States Into the war the Secretary at St. Louis of the agricul? tural leaders of the nation, including the State agricultural officials, com? missioners, representatives of the ag- j ricultural colleges of each of the j States and representatives of more than a hundred farm journals, with a total circulation aggregating ap? proximately 11,000,000. Later the secretary, realizing the special impor? tance of ascertaining the views of the executive heads of the great national farm organization, invited them to confer with him. There were repre? sented the Grange, the Farmers' Union, the Gleaners and the Farmers' National Congress. Later the Ameri? can Society of Equity appeared before the house committee on agriculture. In general these agricultural leaders endorsed the proposals contained in the food products bill, which has al? ready passed both houses of congress, and the proposition contained In the bill which I now present for youi consideration. The bill deals with foods, fuel and articles required for their production. It aims to facilitate and clear the channels of distribution; to prevent hoarding; to prevent wilful destruc? tion of necessities in order to enhance the price or restrict the supply there? of; to eliminate injurious speculation; to regulate exchanges and boards of trcde in order to prohibit undue fluc? tuation of prices, unjust market ma? nipulation or unfair or misleading market quotations; to reduce waste including the power to regulate or completely to prohibit the use of ce? reals in the manufacture of alcoholic beverages, and to stimulate production by assuring the farmer a reasonable and a free and open market for his products, unrestricted by manipula? tion and uncontrolled by gambling op? erations. (Applause.) We intend InI this bill to drive from the established agencies of distribution the market manipulator, the gambler, the man 1 who buys as cheaply as he can and sells as dearly as he may, the Shy lock of commerce, who would rob the widow and the orphan or filch the pennies from the blind man upon the street corner with as much com? placency and unconcern as he would evidence in ordering a meal at a down-town restaurant. (Applause.) I shall not undertake to discuss the ?constitutionality of the bill. A very thorough and able brief has been filed with the committee, with full cita? tions of the decisions of the Supremo Court, which, from a casual reading at the hands of a layman, seems to me to sustain the constitutionality of the bill. I am going to rely for thel presentation of that phase of the sub? ject upon my colleague rpan the com? mittee, the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Overmyer), and my other colleague on the committee, the very distinguished lawyer and able and growing young statesman, the gentleman from Min? nesota (Mr. Anderson), whose services in the preparation of this bill have been absolutely Invaluable. (Ap? plause.) The measure we proposed is a war measure pure and simple, and is predicated upon the idea of providing tor the national security and defense by encouraging the production con? serving the supply and controlling the distribution of food products and fuel, both for the uses of ourselves and our olllcy. These are the ends sought. f In attaining these, Mr. Chairman, the bill establishes a governmental control of necessaries, which shall be exercised and administered by the president through voluntary arrange? ment or agreement and in cooperation with any agency or person. This Is the most far-reaching and important provision of the bill, and upon it we confidently rely for that sane and ade? quate control necessary to the stabili? zation of prices and for the satisfac? tory and orderly distribution of ne? cessaries. The administration direct? ive authority is here conferred, with? out which any real solution of the problem of food and fuel control is impossible, and without which control the same chaos and confusion and waste and lost motion and manipu? lation nnd sky-rocketing prices of the past few months will only be exag? gerated and Increased, both for 0111 ? Helves and for those for whom we fight. The power Is conferred upon thn president to require the fullest pub? licity of the methods and practices of persons engaged In the Importation, exportation, manufacture, storage or distribution of necessaries as defined In this bill, by requiring such persons t'O hold an tmrcvuked. unsuspended Heenes from the preeldsnl to do busi? ness, and such business must be donu _ T Under such methods as will provide lor the highest efficiency in maniac ture and the most equitable meth? ods of distribution. The authority 1*1 also .conferred upon the president to fix in lieu of any rate, charge or prac? tice of any license that is unjust or unreaaonable or discriminatory and unfair or wasteful, a rate which is .just, reasonable, non-discriminatory, and fair or eeonomical. Under this power we propose that those who furnish the machinery which links up the producer and the consumer shall stand always during j this war emergency in the full light I of publicity, upon the theory that, darkness is the haven of the criminal and light his d ith. I am happy to believe that the great overwhelming majority of the business men of this country engaged in distribution of ne? cessaries are not unwilling to allow j the light to be thrown upon their dealings, because I know that they are as patriotic as any class of citi? zens that we have. More than this, I am confident that the larger per cent of these men actually desire some such regulation as here proposed as a protection to themselves against^he crooks found in every particular line of business?that small fraction to be found in every occupation.
