DETECTING .sRENEWED" EGGS.

A new deception practiced on the
consumers of eggs is now attracting
considerable interest from the United
States Department of Agriculture
which, by the authority of the food
and drugs act, insists that the prod
uct of the hen when sold as fresh
must be fresh and not merely look
the part if it is to enter into inter-
state commerce. Large quantities of
eggs are now preserved by first dip
ping in hot oil to seal the pores in
the shells and are then Immediately
placed in cold storage. There is no
objection to the practice, but recently
it has been found that number of
concerns have been treating these
eggs on removal from storage so as
to give them the appearance of hav-
ing been laid lately.
The treatment to remove the tell
tale oil gloss consists in "manicur-
ing the shells with a blast of fine
sand or in treating them with a bath
in an alkali solution, after which
they are dried and rubbed with
French chalk or tale.
Chemists of the department have
devised a method for detecting eggs
which have been treated with oil and
then subjected to the restoration pro-
cess.

Health officer Woodrum's warning,
nublished several times through this
paper. thai it was safer to drink the
city water properly chlorinated, than
to drink water from springs, the
purity of which had not been deter
mined. was emphasized this week,
when report on an analysis of the
Emery spring, which has been large
ly used, showed it to be heavily con-
taminated. II is the prevailing i'm
preston that any water bubbling
from the ground, if it is clear, cold
and tastes good" is safe to drink.
This is not always so. Many of
these so-called springs are merely
underground brooks, many receive
surface drainage. or the water vein
from which they spring may be con
tamnated a long distance from the
spring itself.
There seems to be a growing inn
preston in Ellsworth, made apparent
i'm The present solicitation for funds
for public health work, that for an
object of this kind, recognized as
most desirable and for the general
public welfare, the entire appropria-
tion should be made by the city, so
that all taxpayers would contribute
toward it. The demand for local
support for this, that and the other
public object always falls upon few
and is becoming burdensome. For
an undertaking where all reap the
benefit, as in the present case, it is
no more than right that all should
contribute according to their means,
and this can be accomplished in no
more equitable way than by tax as
sessment We must not pause now,
however, and expect the city to do this.
There should be more voluntary sub
scriptions of SIS and 81. There are
many who are benefited who can
afford to do this They should not
wait for others, who have always so
generously responded, to make up
the fund The goose that lays the

follow:
BY CARL r. GRAY, president
Union Pacific railroad, New York:
I'm my judgment, conditions
throughout the Western country are
fundamentally better than they were
year ago. Settlement Of the in
come tax question and some degree
of assurance that railroad condi.
tons will not be disrupted by legis-
lation will have the most favorable
influence, and continuance of uncer.
tainty in these two respects are the
principal retarding factors"

business this year, but certainly a
continuance Of the moderate pros
perity which the country mas en-.
joyed for more than a year. Conf.
dence in the fundamental stability
or the country is too we'll founded
to be shaken by the investigations
at Washington, though Temporary
uneasiness has resulted from some
OF the recent disclosures. There is
no reason to look for more than a
seasonal reaction in trade between
now and the end of the year"

ford, Conn.,: Prosperity is determined
by the productivity of the people.
The improved machinery of pro.
duction, together with the use of
the automobile, has immeasurably
increased productive capacity dur.
ing the past fifteen years.
The automobile has become the
greatest insurance against BUSINESS
depression, through its tremendous
utility value. No longer an article
or pleasure, the automobile he's a
higher productive value for a given
cost than any other article with
which 1t can be compared today.
Therefore, the more the auto.
mobile is put into use the greater
will be our prosperity.
The present ease of the money
market will continue and spells &C.
tive business, in spite Of some lines
becoming quiet. Except for short
periods Of seasonal depression or
depression due to some unfavorabl.
Government action, business will
be good. The supply of money
and the rate Of interest will con.
troll the volume of business trims.
