M fc * Home Demonstration Noten, Preserving F-gg* In Water Glass. Why Preserve.?During the spring and early summer, when eggs are abundant and reasonable in price, attention should bo given to pre? serving then for 'winter use. Fresh eggs properly preserved may be kept for eight to twelve months in excel? lent condition and used witty good results. A Good Method and Cost.?A good method for the preservation of eggs is by . the use of sodium silicate, or water glass. The present price of so? dium silicate Is about 30 cents per quart, and at this price eggs may be preserved at a cost of approximate? ly S cents per dozen. It is not deslr sble to use the water glass solution a second time. Time to Preserve.?Eggs laid dur? ing April. May. and early June have have been found to keep better tnan those laid later in the season. Kind of Eggs to rfgUFfS.?H sat? isfactory results are to be obtained, the eggs should be fresh and clean. Egg" that flout when placed in the solution sre not fr**h and therefore cannot he preserved. When onl> slightly soiled, a cloth dampened with vinegar can he used to remove such stain* Coder no circumstances should badlv soiled eggs be used for preserving, if put into tbc jar while dirty they will spoil, and washing re move* a protects.?ting which prevents spoiling. Water Glass Method ?Use on quart of sodium silicate to nine uuarts of water that has he? n boiled and cooled. Place the mixture in I five-gallon crock or Jur.

Fifth. Place the crock containing the preserved eggs in a cool, idry place, well covered to prevent evap? oration. Waxed paper covered over and tied around the top of the crock will answer thin purpose. Using Preserved Eggs. ? Fresh, clean eggs, properly preserved can used satisfactorily for all purposes in cooking and for the table. When boil? ing preserved eggs, a small hole should be made in the shell with a pin at the large end before placing them in the water. This is done to allow the air In the egg to escape when heated so as to prevent crack? ing. SENATOR TILLMAX'S ADDRESS. Newspaper Comment on Announce? ment of Candidacy for Re-election to Semite. Work For His Friends. (From the Edgetleld Chronicle.) Senator Tillmun throws his hat in the ring formally this week. And we believe South Carolina will re-elect him, as they should, considering the world-wide crisis and the usefulness be can render the nation by his ex? perience and wisdom as chairman oi tbo naval committee. But bis friends in euch county should work for him just like they felt sure he would be defeated. "Safety first" in all things. Thinks An Active Campaign Needed. I (From the Chester Reporter.) United States Senator Tillman is a past master when it comes to politics, and when it comes to knowledge ol political condition!; in South Carolina is informed as few other men are. With all of this stock of information, however, and his past achievements to his credit we do not believe that ids plan of campaigning for reelec? tion?the writing of a few letters through the papers and sitting supine? ly by so far as the adtive phases ol the campaign are concerned?will ivin ugainst a live and active dema? gogue like Blease. If Mr. Tillman ?as great as have been his services In the United States senate and as iorely as level-headed and sagacious leaders of experience may now be needed at Washington?does not feel physically able to make the canvass of the State on an out-and-out nat onal administration platform some? body who possesses the necessary ibility and has the physical qualifica? tions should come forward at once and shy his hat into the ring. Were Senator Tillmtn appealing to the voters of twehe or fifteen years ago, who had been in active touch with him and were under the spell of his naum and fame, it might be different, but it should be borne in mind that a great number of South Carolinians who will vote this summer have nev? er heard the senator speak, know ol him only by reputation, and are likely to give their votes to a man who shall appear before them on the Stand, and attract their fancy, li Senator Tillman can be reelected by the tactics that he proposes to follow all well and good; but whether it li? the right thing to thrust personal am? bition forward at this time and risk defeat for the administration is a sub Ject that Mr. Tillman ought to givr serious thought. Largely (.network. (From the Laurensville Herald.) Now, then, how does that line up the race? Nobody seems to know jus. yet. Co). Dial has announced and like Senator Tillman. is getting encourage? ment from people throughout th? state We never can tell what may develop, but right now we believe Col. Dial is stronger than he was six ? aura ago. Unless he has been mis? led he will get votes this year that went to Senator Tillman six year- j ? go and probably others that wen' to Mr. Talbert. If Blease runs he will probably have a strong following, but in a rac. against Tillman many peoplo win. have hem Bleeaeltoi ami Ttllmanltss too, must make a choice, and it i hardly expect that fllsaSI OOUldj carry all this vote. In this connee tion It might be stated that if Bleasi doaa run and attack Tillman like he usually does his opponents, we loo?* for "Uncle Bn" to stretch open UuV good eye of hi? and come down U see about it. regardless of his state? ment that he will not make earn palga speeches. Once more he'll fee drifted." bin then, there's Liever and Me Laurla, both spoken of as candidates If !<ever runs he will get a "mights haap1 of votes, and take our word f?f it M.

PATRIOTIC COMMIX ITY MEET? INGS, War Savings, Food Administration and Council of Defense Campaign? ers nt Work. Splendid community meetings were held Monday at Wedgefleld, Bethel and Providence schools, the two lat? ter in Privateer township. At Wedge field about 150 ladies and gentlemen, and boys and girls of the higher school grades, and about the same number of ladies, genlemen, boys and girls at Bethel, and about 05 at I Providence heard the speakers,1 Messrs. J. Frank Williams, J. H. j Haynsworth, H. A. Moses, S. L. Rod dey and E. I. Reardon, discuss the j problems of the war, and the import? ant facts about community organiza- J tion, food production and conserva? tion, agricultural pursuits, rural school advancement, war savings stamps, Red Cross, Liberty Loan bonds, etc. At Wedgefleld Prof. S. L. Clarkson, principal of the school, spoke, and at Bethel and Providence school Messrs. J. M. Kolb and H. Drane Tlndal de? livered short'but practical and inter? esting talks. The 15 township meetings to be held under the auspices of the County Council of Defense and Food Admin? istration forces within the next two weeks, the Patriotic Field Day ex? ercises, in April, were discussed by Dr. Haynsworth and Secretary Rear? don, and the teachers and patrons of all three schools promised that there will be big community or township meetings and full participation from their townships in the Field Day pa? triotic program. There is gratifying evidence every? where in the rural districts, as evi? denced by the attendance at the twenty community meetings held within the past week over the coun? ty, that the rural people are rapid? ly becoming thoroughly awakened to the realization of the fact that our country is at war, and in the aud? iences there were many men and wo? men who have sons in the service, and some already in the trenches of France. Many ladies and gentlemen urged frequent community meetings, and work among the farmers and at the schoolB to keep the potent facts about the war before the public at all times There are hundreds of la? dies and gentlemen all over the county who are seeking service for their country. i It is planned that at about fifteen or twenty schools there will be given entertainments like hot suppers, ice cream and cake festivals, musical numbers and patriotic songs, etc, to which the public will be invited from over the county. State and County Council of Defense speakers of some note will address each community meeting. The proceeds will go to some local church, charity, school, Red Cross, or home demonstration organization as the people of each community prefer. I Three of the speakers yesterday. Messrs. Williams, Reardon and Haynsworth, were very fortunate in being the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Kolb of Privateer township and helped to dispose of a sumptuous birthday dinner in honor of the birthday of Mr. J. M. Kolb, Messrs. Moses and Roddey being unable to attend as they had attended another meeting in Sumter early in the af? ternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Kolb will purchase a five dollar war uavings stamp for each of their ten children under legal age. ind they say that the oher four chil? dren will have to purchase their own stamps. The dining table at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Kolb Is about as long qs the average picnic dinner table, and has about as much to eat on it laily of the good things of life as the tverage picnic. About all home rais? ed too. The fortunate guests were anXlOVl to know when their charming hostess will celebrate her birthday tnd offered to be there to help pull off the celebration.
