A natural question in the minds of mary people now, is .tHov low are eggs going this year2' To attempt definite answer, to this question this far in advance would be of some of the factors involved and their probable effect on the market may help us to understand. the COZ ditIons which prevail during the spring period of heavy egg production.
 The stock of storage eggs was com pletely exhausted before the end of February ana the markets are now dependent upon current receipts for all demands. With the .increa9ing supply of eggs during the. next few weeks win come a Eiry natural de- cline in price which will continue until a stable market is established by withdrawals to storage.

Many large retail establishments now insist that every employee have cornless feet, because one can not ap- pear pleasant before a patron or be \ fully efficient when the brain is con- stantIy renindful of these painful pests.
 The simplest method known to get relief is to apply a few drops of freez j scne directly upon the tsndeT, aching corn, which promptly relieves the soreness and soon th9 enteve corn, root and all, lifts rigS1. out without pain.
 A quarter ounce oR frseSoGe will cost very little at any drug aseDre but is sufficient to remove every hard or. soft corn or callus from ones feet.
 This drug is gummy but dries in a moment and seems to just shrival up the corn without inflaming, or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin.
