To Control Interstate
Shipment Of Bad Eggs

Washington. D. c., March G.-The de-
partment of agriculture has had under
consideration for some time the appli-
cation of the federal food and drugs act
to the shipment in interstate commerce
of eggs in the shell, especially the two
classes Of eggs known in the trade as
"current receipts" and as "rejects' y
from candling rooms "Current re-
ceiptsn contain at different seasons of
the year varying proportionsh of eggs
which are filthy, decomposed or putrd.
% Rejects" from Gambling rooms, as a
rule, contain large proportions of eggs
which are filthy, decomposed, or putrid,
and very small proportions of eggs
suitable for consumption.
Under the federal food and drugs act,
eggs, in common with other articles Of
food, are adultcrated if they consist
wholly or in part of q filthy, decom-
posed, or putrid substance, Section two
of the act prohibits the shipment in in
terstate commerce of foods which are
adulterated and it is plain that this pro-
hihtion applies to the shipment in in
terstate commerce Of "current re-
ceipts" or of "reiects" from cand-
ling rooms or Of any other grade of
eggs in the she'll under the filthy de-
composed, or putrid eggs have been re-
moved.
In the opinion Of the department
eggs which contain yofks stuck to the
she'll meldy eggs black spots, mixed
rots, added eggs black rots, and many
other eggs which consist wholly or in
part of a filthy, detomposed, or putrid
substance, are adulterated.
The investigations Of the department
have shown that it is commercially
practicable, by the method of candlng
to eliminate from any given shipment
most Of the eggs Of the kinds which th'
department regards as adultorated. II
is not the practice Of the department
however to base proceedings under the
food and drugs act on shipments OF
eggs unless there are present larger per
centages of bad eggs than are ordinar
lily present in recognized commercial
grades of candled eggs The department
is informed that that cases of eggs are
not allowed to receive even the lowest
eandled egg grades if the cases contain
more than one and oue-half dozen OF
five per cent Of bad eggs. Country
shippers who are not certain of the
freshness Of their eggs should candle
them before shipping them in interstate
commerce.
Bad sggs Must Be Denatured.
Eggs which are adulterated may bC
shipped in interstate or foreign com
merce for use in tanning or other tech
nical ways without violating the pro
visions Of the food and drugs act only
if they are first denatured so as tC
render them incapable Of being used fol
food Since it is impracticable to de
nature eggs in the she'll adulteratec
shell eggs must be broken out and de
natured prior to shipment. The views
of the department with respect to the
denaturing Of eggs are stated in bureau
Of chemistry service and regulatory am
nouncements No. T. paragraph 10, ono

For Rough Hands

Enclosed please find the song that p.

remedy for rough hands. II she will use
glycerin and bay rum her troubles will
disappear. Up to three winters ago had
the same trouble. The best Of cold creams.
ETC.. did no good. I was advised to use bay
rum and glycerin 40 cents worth, at any
drugglsts), and I've never had any
trouble with my hands since. Expert
ment with the proportions until 1t suits
your particular need Two-thirds gly-
cerin and one-thlrd bay rum 1 think is
about right. Keep the hands and finger
tips we'll cleaned and rub often with lemon
juice. Wear old gloves when possible
while working, and always put on the
lotion before drawing on the gloves.
Never cut the fingers from the gloves. for
1t is the tips of the fingers that need pro-
lection. Last. but not least, use only high
grades of soap for both kitchen and laun-
dry work-it pays. If these directions are
followed faithfully for two weeks I'm sure
after that one need use only a little of the
lotion each day and often disregard
gloves. G. B. g."
The song was duly forwarded to the one
who asked for 1t. She will thank you.

for the prevailing afhiction of chapped
hands Is opportune.

A Threnody

Not in the ancient Abbey,
Nor In the city ground,
Not in the lonely mountains,
Nor In the blue profound,
Lay him to rest when his time is coma
And the smiling mortal lips are dumb
But here in the decent quiet
Under the whispering pines,
Where the dogwood breaks in blossom.
And the peaceful sunlight shines,
Where wild birds sing and ferns unfold.
When spring comes back in her green and
gold.
And when that mortal likeness
Has been dissolved by fire,
Say not above the ashes,
Here ends a mans desire"
For every year when the bluebirds sing,
He shall be part of the lyric spring.
Then dreamful-hearted lovers
Shall hear in wind and rain
The cadence of his music,
The rhythm of his refrain,
For he was a blade of the April sod
That bowed and blew with the whisper Of
God

BY WILLIAM A. BRADY, MD.

HvERY new "cure" has its early day

comes the desuetude of the Bulgarian

that the Tactic acid germ, the old-age

When YOU drink buttermilk, soured

cultures. YOU are aiding and abetting
the formation of tactic acid In the In

of argument, let's say you are anemic,
cachectic from some chronic disease, or
emaciated In such case you would prob
ably be already more or less poisoned by
"acidosis" which means the accumula-
ton of carbonic acid gas and other acid
combinations in the blood and tissues.

of the nature of buttermilk or Bulgarian
