The fact that 625,O00 bottles of Tan

item that will attract unusual atten-
ton throughout the entire East, for

that the preparation was now selling
in their trade territories alone at the
phenomenal rate of approximately 5OO,-
900 bottles Il year.

Mr.. Evans, this rate alone will prob
ably require considerably over 15O.OOJ

PREVENT BREAKAGE OF EGGS
Plans for Making Better Crates for
Shipping Have Been Worked Out
by Specialists.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Handling Eggs for Profit is the
title of a little mlmeographed circular
issued by the food research laboratory
of the bureau of chemistry, United
States Department of Agriculture,
which gives directions and drawings
for the construction of egg cases and
outlines methods for packing the eggs
so as to reduce loss from breakage
while in transit from the producers
to consuming centers.
The specialists In the food research
laboratory have made a study of meth
DDS for packing and shipping Eggs in
order to reduce the great losses from
breakage that have occurred in the
past. This work has been done in all
parts of the country in cooperation
with railroads and with egg shippers.

eSN''' w u = eha ~ W.T.
Made and Packed Crates Are Shown
In Figs. 5 and 6.
Experimental shipments in different
kinds of shipping cases and with the
different methods of packing the eggs
in the cases have been made and the
results compared. An instrument has
been devised for measuring and re-
cording the shocks to which cars con-
tanning eggs were subjected while in
transit.
As a result of these experiments the
specialists have recommended methods
of packing eggs which reduce breakage
to a minimum. These methods have
been tried under a great variety of
conditions, and have been incorporated
as requirements in the railroad and ex-
press classifications for the transpor-
tation of eggs.
Nails in place save claims. it is terse-
ly said; and, as shown in figure l,
the number and arrangement of these
necessary in order to conform with
the requirements of the express and
consolidated freight classifcations are
as follows:
Threepenny nails. cement coated. with
large heads.
is nails for each side. 6 for each end.
6 In center.
q nails for bottom, 7 in each end. 7 In
center.
s nails for top. 4 in each end. for 1ush
cleat.
6 nails for top, 3 in each end. for drop
cleat.
Egg packers are advised to be sure
that they use the correct number of
nails.
When Q paper-covered excelsior mats
are used, fats should not be placed be-
tween the mats and the filters. When
cupped trays made of compressed pulp
ale employed, 1t is best to begin by
placing one 25-cup filler, receiving side
downward, on the bottom of the case.
Then place N 16-cup filler. receiving
side upward on top, nesting II. FIJI
the cups with eggs and cover with one
16-cup filler. Then place one 25-cup
filler, receiving side upward All cups
with eggs and cover with n 25-cup
filler.
Improper packing invites ~breakage,
and figure . illustrates a poorly packed
case. Sometimes an extremely thin
layer of excelsior, many times n small
amount of loose paper. or perhaps
nothing at all is placed on the top and
bottom. leaving the case loosely packed
and the chances for breakage and loss
are great. Very frequently such poor
ly packed cases have broken and
stained filters and flats. and such a
combination greatly increases the prob.
ability of damage.

The Irish-meaning the Sim Fem
ers-were willing to hold a conference
with the British cabinet at Inverness
this week, as proposed by Premier
Lloyd George, but, as was easily pre-
dlcted, they didn't want to submit to
the only condition imposed. that the
Sim Feln must abandon its demand
for separation from the empire. De
Valera sent Harry Boland inc Joseph
McGrath with his acceptance of the in
vitatlon, but in his letter he made sew
eral reservations, chief of which was
his objection to admitting Irelnnd's al
l~egiance to the British crown before
entering the conference. He also ar
gued that II the premier objected to
the secession of Ireland from the EN-
pire he should not support the seces-
sion of Ulster from Ireland.
Mr.. Lloyd George sent the couriers
back to Dublin with Il message to DE
Naleru that his tote was unsatisfac-
tory and he had better write another.
This the governor supplemented by
IA telegram to De Valera canceling the
arrangements for the Inverness con
ference because he felt that. In view
of the Irish attitude. negotiations
would be useless. The premier was
as cOnciliatory as he could he con-
slstently. but at this writing II
is uncertain whether the negoti-
ations for peace will continue. The
Dali Eirann, however, named its dele
gates for the conference. II II is held.
and De Valera is not one of them. The
delegates are Arthur Grifflth, founder
OF Sim Fein and republican foreign
minister; Michael Collins. minister of
finance; Robert Barton, secretary Of
economic affairs canon Duggan, chief
Irish republican army llaison officer,
who helped to arrange the truce. and
George Gavnn Duffy. the Irish envoy
TO Rome.
Several of these men are classed as
moderates. The Freeman's journal OF
Dublin says; Their task may have its
difficulties, but its successful accom-.
pllshment will be the crown OF n great
achievement. Both nations have their
hearts set on an honorable ending here
and now to the struggle Of centuries.
Their desire is well within the realm Of
possibility and practicabllity. All the
efforts OF the would-be wreckers In
Great Britain hitherto have failed.
There Is then enough craftsmanship In
the Irish delegation to confirm that
failure and to complete a fabric OF
peace"
