Eggs 3 Yearc Old Almost Good as
New.


You're liable to get eggs served you
at some hotels and restaurants that
are two to three years old, but don't
worry about that A scientist has in
vented a machine for steriIizing eggs
that makes these ancients almost as
good as when they are few days
old.
Prof. Charles II. La Wall, chemist OF
the State Dairy and Food Commission
Oh New York, has looked over some
eggs that were labeled as having beeh
land inl913 and 1911, and says lie
found them to be first class. They
were solid. looked very much like the
fresh product, and when candled they
were found not to have shrunk
Further INVESTIGATION led to the dis
coyery Of a machine that had been
used in the so-cJlled Taylor process
Of sterilizing the eggs. All that Prof.
La Wall could learn Of the process
was that the eggs were placed in the
machine and dropped first into HOT
and then cold OIL The pores closed
the shells were strengthened and the
eggs sterIlzed,
That's all | know about the
methods of sterilization" said Prof
La Wall. Il learned, however, that
the person who sterilized the eggs lef'
them in crates IN his cellar, exposee
to normal temperature. for seyera
