Considerable curiosity has been
displayed, at one time and another,
as to the authorship of Beautiful

gone so far as to offer pecuniary re-
ward for definite nformation regard

care a boot about those things but l d

The Department of Agriculture is
fighting the sale of "liquid eggs"
delectable concoction much used by
bakers and certain restauranteurs, but
has lost the first round OF its legal
battle and is now awaiting the supreme
courts decision. The following ex-
tract from an article in the Seattle
Sunday Times may prove of interest
to egg producers and consumers of
pastry:
"The frozen egg people claim that
an egg remains a good egg until it
has become unq ualifiedly rotten. On
the other hand, the Department of
Agriculture, which controls the en-
forcement of the pure food law, con-
tends that eggs which have undergone
serious deterioration are altogether
unsuitable for food, whether actually
rotten or not, and that their sale
should be stopped.
"While the supreme court is engag-
ed in meditating the question, it is
not inappropriate that the consumers,
who represent the entire public Gin
asmuch as such liquid eggs are used
in practically every bakery in the
country, should themselves consider
the problem, taking into view certain
undeniable facts.
''To begin with, what is the origin
of these eggs?- How and why do they
happen to be used IN the manner de-
scribed? And just how good or bad
are they?
at goes without saying that none
of the eggs employed for the purpose
are really fresh eggs. They are con-
verified into the product here describ
ed because they are not fit for sale in
the ordinary way, even as a ow-grade
article. Commonly they are spots
that is to say, eggs whose yelks have
adhered to the shells. In large per-
centage of instances they have under
gone partial incubation-meaning, Of

course, that chicks have begun to de-
velop in them.
"Now, the method adopted in deal
ing with them is to break them out
to use a trade term), and put them
through sleeves, to strain out the part
Informed chicks. Thus a chick-free
egg fluid is obtained which, put up in
large cans and frozen solid, may be
kept in cold storage indefinitely.
Necessarily, chemical changes go on
in it even under such conditions, but
apparently it never gets so bad that
the bakers will not buy it, for the
sake of cheapness.
Thousands of tons of this product
are always in storage. 1t is common
ly sold to bakers and confectioners
under the name of cooking eggs,
and is employed as basis for food
products in daily use by a vast ma
jority of the people.
"The president of a large packing
house in Chicago is quoted as saying:
There are eggs in Chicago which
have been in storage twenty-four
months. They we're unfit for food
eighteen months ago. One concern
