CANDLE YOUR EGGS
Rotten Eggs Ii Possession Of Farm
, or or Merchant May Cost Fine
Of 5000.

The state is endeavoring to rigidly
enforce the law relating to the sale Of
stale eggs and the inspectors Of the
pure food department are unusually
active inspecting eggs in every town
and city in the state. So far as pos
sible weekly trips to every town are
being made by inspectors and any
person having spoiled or stale eggs
i'm his possession is liable to a fine of
$50.
The enforcement Of this law in so
rigid manner has forced country
storekeepers either to candle every
egg that comes in or quit buying
eggs. The merchants are living up
to the law and every egg bought is
candled carefully.
All the stores reports the eggs In
fine condition at present. Very few
spoiled or stale eggs are brought in
and most cases the farmers them
selves are using unusual care to see
that no unwholesome eggs are
brought into town.-Litchfield Satur-
day Review.
While the above is true Of Willmal
in the main, there are some who are
very careless in gathering eggs. The
Cooperative store reports that they
found II dozen spoiled in one case
brought to them. Should the State
Inspector find a case like this, the
penalty would be imposed without
dOnbt.
