Dried EQQs.

The high cost of eggs in England
has led to the birth of quite new big
business in dried eggs and eggs in So
luton. One large firm selling dried
eggs has undertaken an extensive ad-
vertisiEg campaign to push these eggs
upon the attention of retailers. who in
their turn are being enabled by other
advertising matter TO attract their GUS
toners TO the goods.
The dried eggs which they advertise
are entirely soluble and take up the
water like a lump of sugar and thus
give the perfect creamy liquid of a
beaten shell egg ready for instant use
on mixing. Dried eggs are no longer
to be regarded as war food they have
come to stay. This firm predicts that
In the near future the properly dried
eggs will have become one of the very
