CORRECTED LIST
OF DELINQUENTS
Owing To Lrror Exemption Hoard
the First List Given Independent
Was Incorrect.
A few days ago the Independent
printed a list of delinquent regis
trants in Jackson county who have
failed to answer the call of their lo
cal exemption board. Several of the
-r names in the list were of men who
had been inducted into service. The
i i error was caused in the office of the
exemption board here, when some of
the questionnaires of the registrants
had been placed in the wrong depart
ment. The board members greatly
regret that this error was made, as
does the Independent.
Following is a correct and complete
list of the registrants, who have
been fisted as delinquents, and who
have until the tenth of this month to
report to the local board before they
are listed as deserters.

PRESERVE EGGS
Fi WINTER USE
Interesting Experiments at the College
of Agriculture Show What Pre
servatives Are Beet.
—
By S. R. Stout, Assistant Poultry Hus
bandman, Arkansas Experiment Sta
tion, University of Arkansas.
During the fall and early winter
eggs are very scarce and high-priced
Therefore, we should preserve for win
ter use in the best possible way ah
eggs not. used fresh in summer. There
are a number of methods employed for
preserving eggs, some of which are
water glass-, lime water, salt, vaseline
and patent preservatives.
Last June an experiment was started
at the Arkansas Experiment Station to
ascertain the efficiency of different
egg preservatives that were avail^bl*
at that time. Seven different preserv
atives were used, namely: Water glass,
lime water, salt, vaseline, Yankee, E.
Z., and Flemings’ egg preservatives.t
The water glass was prepared by
boiling nine quarts of clean water and
(hen, after it. had been allowed to cool,
one quart of water glass was added.
The solution was well mixed and set
aside for a short time. The solution
was poured from one vessel to another
until the solution was well mixed and
cold. The eggk were placed in the
water glass the same day they were
laid and stored in a basement room.
•The lime water was prepared in
much the same way as was the water
glass. The eggs wore placed in a sat
iii'atpd solution which was made by
slaking a small amount of quick lime
in a small quantity of water. The
milk of lime obtained was added tc
five gallons of clean, fresh water. This
solution was well mixed and allowed
lo settle. The liquid was then drawn
off, and when it became cool was
poured into earthen crocks. The eggs
were placed in (he s:olulion as soon as
they were gathered.
The eggs placed in tlie salt were
packed in common salt, small end
down. Those preserved in the patent
preservatives were preserved accord
Ing to the directions which accom
panied the preservative. The vaseline
was applied in much the same way as
was the patent preservatives, by plac
ing a small amount of vaseline in th6
palms of the hands and rubbing each
egg well, making sure the entire sur
face was covered. The eggs were all
placed in egg cartons and stored in the
same room with the water glass and
lime water and salt.
After six months the eggs were
tested by the Home Economics De
partment for their cooking qualities,
with the following results:
Eggs preserved in water glass were
found to resemble fresh eggs more
nearlyr than did any of the others
They were suitable for cooking, mak
ing custards and cakes. However,
they were not good poached. Those in
the lime water were next in quality
None of the others were as satisfac
tory as the water glass and lime water
There was no difference iii the keep
Ing qualities of fertile and infertile
»ggs, nor in the color of the shell
However, this holds good only when
eggs are preserved the same day they
are laid; otherwise, infertile eggs are
more suitable for preserving.
FRUIT CAN EE PUT
UP WITHOUT SUGAR
Canning Specialists Say Eoiling Wa
ter May Be Used Instead of
Syrup.
The present shortage and price of
sugar is no excuse for not canning a
b:g surplus. Fruit for use in pie?
or stewed fruit can be put up
without the use of sugar, accord
ing to ^he canning specialists of
the Extension Division of the Univers
ity of Arkansas. Any fruit may be
sterilized successfully and retained in
(he pack by simply .adding boiling
water instead of the hot syrup.
Can tire product the same day it is
picked. Cull, stem, or seed and clean
the fruit by placing it in a strainer
and pouring water ever it until it is
dean. Pack the product thoroughly
in glass jars or tin cans until they
are full; use the handle of a table
spoon, wooden ladle, or table knife
for packing purposes. Pour over the
fruit boiling water from a kettle, place
rubbers and caps in position, partially
seal if using glass jars, seal complete
ly if using tin cans. Place the con
•ainers in a sterilizing vat, such as a
wash boiler with false bottom, or
other receptacle improvised for the
purpose. If using a hot water bath out
fit, process for thirty minutes, count
ing time after the water has reached
the boiling point; the water must
cover the highest jar in container. Af
ter sterilizing, remove packs, seal
glass Jars, wrap in paper to prevent
bleaching, and store in a dry, cool
place.
If you are canning in tin cans it will
Improve the product to plunge the
cans Quickly into cold wabsr* imme
diately after sterilization.

pears, apples, and vegetables, write to

CLlvcKNESS of polar bear
Almost Impossible to Catch the Ani
: mal in Any Sort of Trap That
Can Be Devised.
According to the stories told by arc
tic explorers and whalers, polar bears
—like many other animals of the far
North that have a hard time finding
food—show an unusual reasoning fac
ulty, says People’s Home Journal.
I A whaler tells of planning to cap
ture a polar bear by means of a slip
noose arranged about a bait. The
noose caught one of the bear’s claws,
but the animal worked itself loose and
carried away the bait. The sailor set
the noose again, but this time the bear
pushed the rope away before ventur
ing near the bait. The third time the
sailor covered the noose with snow,
hut the bear scraped about until he
found the rope and again dragged it to
one side. The fourth time the sailor
put the bait iu the bottom of a hole so
the bear would have to crawl partly
into it. Then he put the noose entire
ly around the hole and covered it with
snow. This did not deceive the bear,
however, as the animal carefully un
covered the rope, knocked it aside and
carried olf the bait. Then the sailor
gave up.
Another story tells of a polar Dear s
cleverness in catching a seal. The
seal had climbed through a hole in the
ice, hut was keeping near the edge in
order to be able to plunge in at the
approach of danger. The bear saw the
seal from a distance and knew that
there was no chance to steal across the
ice and attack its prey. Accordinglj
the bear entered the water through an
other hole a considerable distance
>way, swam under the ice to the hole
through which the seal had emergec
j and seized the luckless animal, whict
naturally was taken entirely by sur
prise.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CAN
NOT BE CURED.
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
j There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by i
constitutional remedy. Catarrha
deafness is caused by an inflamec
j condition of the mucous lining of th<
! Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
| inflamed you have a rumbling sounc
j or imperfect hearing, and when it is
j entirely closed, Deafness is the re
j suit. Un’css the inflammation ca
| be reduced and this tube restored to
| its normal condition, hearing will be
| destroyed forever. Many cases of
| deafness are caused by catarrh, which
' is an inflamed condition of the mu
| cous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Medi
| cine acts through the blood on the
! mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All
