RESULTS ARE SEEN
IN HIGH FOOD WAR
Fight Against Increased Cost OF
Living Continues TO
Grow

The greatest sensation that has
come in the course of th5 investi-
CATION which IS being conducted by
the special committee Of the House
District Committee TO investigate
into the high cost Of foods occurred
at the third hearing of The commit
tee this morning when Dr. Wiley,
conducting an experiment with sup
posedly fresh eggs which were
bought yesterday, produced results
which indicated that they were at
least ten months old.
EGGS STAY ON SURFACE.
Dr.. Wiley used Two tests One,
a 10 per cent saline solution, and
the other the candIing process Be
fore commencing the experiment he
stated TO the committee that If the
eggs were fresh as represented TO
be, they would sink Immediately in
the saline solution He then dropped
more than a dozen eggs in the so
luton and all Of them with the
exception Of one rose TO the surface.
The fact that they fOated, Dr.
Wiley explained, was due 10 a con-
siderable amount OF air inside she
eggs, the presence Of which was in
variably a sign Of age, as little or
10 air is found in fresh eggs.

eggs purchased yesterday the inference
being that they were not as old The
committee apparently was satisfied as

Chairman Moore attempted 10 md out
where the supposedly fresh eggs were
purchased and what price was paid for
them Dr- Wiley replied that one of the
men in the Bureau OF Chemistry had
gone 10 the Center NIsrksrt and called
for fresh country eggs. as any puF-
chaser would do. buL that he had no
data with him TO show what price was
paid
Should Be Packed Fresh.
Toward the end OF the hearing sew
eraI members Of the committee asked
Dr. Wiley what suggestions ne could
offer tc, insure the consumer getting
wholesome egEs- Dr. Wiley said that
in order TO bring this about eggs must
be fresh when packed and kept al q
low temperature until delivered TO the
consumer
When asked how long an-egE could be
kept In storage without impaIring It's
