painted on, or else the egg is wholly
immersed in a can of shellac and then
set aside to dry. This coating OF
transparent varnish, though ever sd.
thin. destroys a considerable part Of
the chocolate taste and must, of
course, be more or less injurious,
particularly to the youngsters who at
Easter time are naturally allowed TO
eat an extra supply Of Easter eggs.
Better Eggs Now 0btainable.
Dissatisfied with the painted Easter
eggs. E. B. Griffenberg, manager of
the Reynolds Candy Company which
has three successful candy stores in
Wilmington. decided TO have his COM
pany produce an Easter egg so tooth
some that neither the children nor the
grown-ups could resist its flavor, and
yet so entirely without cause for
criticism that no mother need fear
giving her children as many as they
care to eat Of them And in produc-
ing this unpainted egg this candy con-
Germ has also evolved an egg that GER
tainly far surpasses. in several other
respects, the familiar egg of year or
so ago,

A reporter of THE EVENING

local newspapers admonishing the
public not to eat painted chocolate
Easter eggs. called upon Mr.. Griflen-

candy company day or two ago, and
asked for some information on the
matter Of painted eggs. Mr.. Griffen-
berg explained that his company had
for several years been trying to accus-
tom the Wilmington public to accept
dull-hnish chocolate-coated egg,
rather than one with a glossy appear

had decided to make a firm stand on
this matter, in keeping with their gen

Tuesday night there were rumors Of
a wholesale retrenchment. the reports
stating that 1900 men were to be
taken off at Altoona, and 400 in Har-

Ministerial Choir Delights.
The ministerial choir delighted the
afternoon session with an impromptu

tirely of ministers, is an innovation
with this conference and is proving
an immense success. The dozen or
more male voices blend we'll and give
dash and spirit to the singing Of the
conference, which makes the song
service most enjoyable.
The special committee appointed at
the last conference to consider

II has been the custom i'm the candy

from becoming stale or discolored, by
painting them with a thin coat of
glacine or shellac. This coating also
serves to cover the finger marks that
are necessarily made by this process
Of manufacture, and gives to the eggs
a glossy appearance. 1t has also been
found by investigation that many un-
scrupulous manufacturers use an
adulterated chocolate coating and
hide this defect from the public by
painting them with shellac.
