WHEN is EGG
UNFIT TO EAT
This Question Is Solved In New Egg
Law Which the Farmers of
Missouri Must
Abide BY.

The question of when is an egg
not an egg, at least when 1t is not
fit for human consumption, is an
swered by W. A. Hook, county agent
for Clark county, who quotes the
new egg law, which will interest Mis-
souri, people and those who buy their
eggs from there. The law provides:
That no person, firm or corpora
ton shall sell, offer or expose for
sale, or traffic in, any egg unfit for
human food, unless the same is
broken in shell and then denatured
so that it cannot be used for human
food. For the purposes of this act.
an egg shall be deemed unfit for hui
man food il it be added or mouldy,
black rot, white rot or blood
ring; on If it has an adherent yolk,
or bloody or green white; or if it
be incubated beyond the blood ring
stage; or If it consist in whole or
in part of filthy, decomposed on
putrid substance.
1t would seem from the above that
anyone who sells bad eggs is liable.
The safe plan is to, first, sell male
birds; second, gather eggs twice
daily in hot weather and store in a
cool, dry place; third, market at least
twice each week.

MORE PLANS
BEING MADE
Labor Day Celebration This Year at
Fort Madison Is Going to
be Unusually Big
One

Keokuk Is going to send big crowd
to Fort Madison on Monday, Septem-
Der 1, to help celebrate Labor day
there. The Fort Madison assembly Is
planning for the events, as the follow.
ing from the Democrat would indi
catei
A special meeting of the members
of the Fort Madison Trades and Labor
assembly will be held in the assembly
hall Thursday evening at 8 o'clock,
when the final plans for the big Labor
day celebration to be held here on
Monday, September LIST, will be made.
The meeting is to be an unusually i'm
portant one, with much business up
for discussion.
While it was known from the first
that the celebration to be held here
would be success, the enthusiasm
with which the preliminary plans are
being carried out is coming as a sur
prise to even the Trades and Labor
officials themselves. lKeokuk and
Burlington have pledged themselves
to send many more delegates than
were at first expected, while interest
in Fort Madison's celebration Is
high in all Of the communities in the
county
The fact that ten free attractions
have been secured for the day besides
the baseball game to be played on the
Perfection diamond, is indicative OF
the expense which will be entailed by
the demonstration, but the Trades and
Labor people are not allowing the fl
nancial end to bother them, and are
still on the lookout for further de-
vices to increase the pleasure of the
people.
