Breaking Up Traffic in Bad Eggs

then sold to bakers for use in cakes
and other forms of food. In one IN
stance, at least. shipment of these
eggs was traced to a firm which ad'
mitted that 1t had no use for them
except in food. AS matter OF fact'
federal inspectors have been able to
secure ample evidence of the use oil
unfit eggs for this purpose. Before
they had the active cooperation OF the
state authorities. however. it was diff
cult to act with the promptness re-
quired to obtain satisfactory results.
Now, with the state and federal au-
thorities working together, 1t is be-
lieved the traffic can be broken up
very rapidly. In this connection 1t Is
pointed out that most of the firms
using these unfit eggs probably do SO
reluctantly, believing that the COM
petition of others forces them into the
traffic. However, II has been amply
demonstrated by the department that
the frozen and dried egg business is
successful and important industry only
when based on the use OF good eggs,
handled under special conditions.
Another important result OF the
work in Chicago II is hoped will be to
persuade other cities and states OF
the necessity of assisting the federal
government in destroying the traffic
in bad eggs. That this can be done
has already been demonstrated in
Trenton. n. j.. where IL indictments
have been found on the charge of con-
spiracy in connection with this busf-
ness. All of the indicted men are
now awaiting trial. Such criminal
prosecutions 1t is believed will do far
more to put an end to the traffic than
any number of seizures or fines.

on the numerical superiority OF the
Russians. whose army divisions are
composed Of sixteen battalions OF in
fantry with cavalry and artillery and
unlimited supplies of ammunition. The
Russian divisions are considerably
stronger than the Austrtans. especially
as regards artillery.
Austrian soldiers declare that for ev-
cry ten Russians killed twenty came IN
their places. The Russian artillery nre
they said was wonderfully good but the
infantry work was Of an inferior kind.
1t is anticipated ere that there will be
a temporary, lull in the fighting, as both
sides are apparently exhausted.
The Viennese journals are entirely
without news Of any Austrian fighting.
The wounded continue to arrive in Vi
emma in great numbers. Eight thousand
were brought in on Sunday alone. The
hospitals and the various public build
