Australians Devise Unique Method to
Preserve Hen Product.
Australians have devised scheme
to turn fresh laid eggs to powder for
preserving and shipping purposes. says
an Ottawa special dispatch to the Chi
cago Record-Herald.
In recent report the trade commits
sioner for Canada In Australia makes
special reference to a process for des-
locating eggs now being carried out
there for which high claims are made
and which the commissioner thus de-
scribes:
Desiccated eggs are not substitutes
for eggs, but newly laid eggs, and are
treated by process by which only
the shell and water contents OF the
egg are removed and the whole sub
stance of the egg, yolk and albumen,
converted into powder.
1t is claimed to have been proved
that this powder will keep for years
and only requires the addition OF milk
or water, when the powdered eggs will
reconstitute and be ready for use for
any purpose just the same as newly
laid egg. The powder is rich and at
tractive looking and is reported by the
government analysts of New South
Wales and Victoria to contain no
chemical preservative. No part of the
egg except the water has been re-
moved in the process.

ELECTRIC BOOTS.
Simple Continuance For tho Comfort Of
Motor Women.

Simple contrivanoe For the Comfort Of
Motor Women.
One of the newest new things for the
motor woman is pair Of electric
boots, says the New York Press. The
boots are intended, Of course, for wear
only in really cold weather. Not only
are they lined with fur. but each has
in the hollow between the heel and the
tread tiny electric battery. They
slip on over ordinary shoes, and most
of them extend almost to the knee
Running up the leg of each electric
boot are wires connecting with safety
electrodes. The wires run through the
sole Of the shoe to the battery.
Pressure of button at the top Of
each boot starts the current, and In a
few minutes genial warmth pervades
all that part of the anatomy incased In
the device. No matter how wintry the
weather, the electric boot keeps foot
and leg warm, yet not in a way dan
gerous to health Moreover, the de
gree of warmth can be regulated by
increasing or decreasing the supply OF
electricity. 1t is one of those devices
SO simple that everybody says, How
strange nobody ever thought Of it be-
forew The best Of the boot is that, un-
like foot warmer Of any Of the old
patterns, it does not necessitate keep
ing the leg in one position. AS the
foot is moved the heat supply moves

is that so wide range of attitudes is

the treatment is better than sojourn
