WILEY MAKES
TEST OF EGGS
Government Chemist Finds
Fresh Country Product"
Was Ten Months Old

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Dr. Harvey
w Wiley. chief chemist of the De-
partment of Agriculture, surprised the
members Of the House District Com
mittee, which is investigating the high
price of food products, with an ocular
demonstration that eggs bought as
fresh were~in reality 10 months old.
He conducted an experiment with
eggs that were bought In the Center
Market by an employe of the Bureau
Of Chemistry and which were repre-
sented as fresh country eggs" In
making this demonstration DIR. Wiley
used two tests ,one involving the i'm
mersion OF the eggs in a 10 per cent.
solution Of saline water, and the other
known to chemists as the "candling"
test He dropped a number of the sup
posedly fresh eggs in the saline soln
tion and all but one of them rose
to the surface Of the water.
That" said DIR. Wiley, proves that
these are not fresh eggs The fact that
they floated shows they are old eggs
If they were fresh. they would sink
10 the bottom OF the solution. They
are floating because there is a certain
amount of air, a considerable amount
and the presenceof this air is always
a sign Of age in eggs"
After conducting this easy expert
ment with eggs supposed to be fresh
DIR. Wiley produced some eggs which,
he said, were known to be 10 months
old. To this he applied the candle test.
The eggs were held in front of a light
and dark spots were visible to any
one looking through the egg toward
The light With a pencil he described
small circles upon the shell 70 indi-
cate the size Of the spots within the
eggs. These spots, he explained, were
due TO the air spaces caused by age.
Afterward the eggs which were bought
on Wednesday and which were sup
posedly fresh we're held before the can
die. They exhibited dark spots which
Dr. Wiley blamed upon the air spaces.
The spots were not as large as those
on the eggs known to be 10 months
old. but DR.. Wiley said he felt sure
the alleged new eggs were virtually
as old as those known TO be 10 months
of age. The saline test he said, was
an easy one which could be tried in
any kitchen. He believes the good
housewives of the country can apply
the test just as wei las any expert.
Good and fresh eggs would always sink
in this solution, he said.
DR.. Wiley then entered upon a long.
technical discussion of eggs, explaining
the difference between modern and an
cient ones. He attributed the odor of
ancint eggs to the ammonia within
Them The general effect Of cold-stor-
age methods upon eggs and poultry was
discussed at some length. He said that
eggs should be placed in the cold stor-
age while they were fresh. II this
course were followed, he said. eggs
might be kept in cold storage nine
months without deterioration; but if
the eggs were not fresh when placed
ia storage they would begin to deter

TARIFF and
FOOD STUFFS
President Of New York Mer-
camille Association Wants
Duties Removed
MANY POOR FAMILIES
ARE APPLYING FOR AID

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
NEW YORK. Jan. 2S-Passage Of
bills now pending in Congress abso-
lutely removing all tariffs from food
stuffs OF what ever description is de-
clared by President Mahr Of the
Mercantile Exchange 20 be the only
real seduction of the "higher-price-of-
food" problem.
"A revision. or selling in the priviled
rates of tariff on food stuffs will not
do" declared Mahr to-day. THE
tariff on food must be removed en-
tirely,
THE dairy products are not controlled
by an financial trust for the simple
reason that all the solons in the fnan-
cial world can not make hens lay or
cows give milk.
THE present high prices in butter,
eggs. milk and cheese are due solely to
the question of supply and demand. We
cannot get a sufficient supply and our
profits are curtailed in proportion. If
the tariff were abolished. we could get
vast supplies from Canada; but the
prohibitive tariff prevents their i'm
portation at present.

is now negotiating with the other ex-
changes throughout the country with a
view to making concerted efforts to

Winter of Hardship.
According to f. D. Green, general
agent for the New York Association
for Improving the Condition of the
Poor, the increased cost Of living and
the decreasing wage scale for un-
skilled labor is making the present
winter one Of hardship for New York S
poor
Green declares the association is now
aiding 1000 families, while forty new
families are applying for aid each week
This he says, is an increase Of fifty
per cent. over the figures Of three years
ago. other New York relief associa-
tions are reporting similar increase in
the number of hungry poor.
This condition is particularly ag-
gravated in the crowded east side
where families do not buy food by

WORK HIGHLAND CHIEF SOON

Active development work may
be resumed on the Highland
Chief claims on Pine creek at an
early date. The Chief joins the
Surprise mine and its owners be-
lieve that the Surprise ledge runs
through their claims. A vein of
four feet of ore was uncovered in
the upper workings of the prop
erty some years ago when the
owners bonded the group to St.
Paul people who spent consider
able money in further develop
ment. This company however.
failed to meet its obligations
and the property reverted to the
Gilbert brothers who are the
chief owners at the present time.
A deal is said to be under way
with eastern capitalists for the
mine and. ifclosed, steps will be
taken to fully open up the ledge
and put the property On 9 ship

said a compressor will be in

ing is fulfilled another big pro-
ducer will be added to the North
Side mines during the coming
season. This company has IA
claims in the splendid Butte
gulch section and the extensive
development in the upper level
has opened up an immense ore
bearing ledge Of great promise.
The work of deep development
here will be watched with great
interest as there are many claims
of unusual promise in this Sec
ton whose value will be greatly
enhanced if this property even
partly fulfills expectations with
deep development. The forma.
ton in this section is favorable,
being in quartzite of the same
character found in the great
mines of the district. 1t is be-
lieved the Butte gulch section
will prove the equal Of any in
the great Occur d'Alene district,
hence the unusual interest felt
in the deep development work
of the Idaho Northern company.
