PROCESSED EGGS ARE
DIFFICULT TO DETECT
Processed eggs from the Istnited
States, which have been selling in
that country as fresh, and which
were „offered in Canada 'under the
same goise, will, in the future, offer
ne competition to Canadian produc-
ers. Officers of the egg inspection
service of the Department of Agri-
culture at Ottawa have been able
to § these eggs whittle following
the processing, are placed through a
sand blasting operation, and as a
result they are now required to be
marked "processed" when offered for
sale here. The detection of these eggs
by egg inspectors has resulted in one
Canadian importer refusing to accept
delivery of a car of eggs which he
had bought as fresh, and in several
ohers rerouting cars in transit which
calve fsom the same source. One
Canadian importer, who had bought
'li• ggs as fresh, insisted on and

According to the Canadian egg reg-
ulations, required them to be classi-
fied as "processed" eggs when sold
in this country. At this stage of the
process the eggs can be identified
very easily by a metallic sound when
tapped together and by an oily touch
on the surface of the shell. The eggs
are sent in this state to Chicago,
whrre they may be held in storage
and just previous to selling are pass-
ed through a sand blasting operation.
Here the eggs are placed on an end-

The declaration o,f war by the Unit-

ton's despatch about Salamanca are
placed on inside pages. Without the
headings other than "Bulletin," dated
.July 28, 1812 (the paper is issued Oc-
-eber 17!) Wellington's despatch
reads:
"The French army under •Marmont
was completely defeated yesterday by
hat of the allies under General Lord
Welling -ton, Duke of Crudad Rodrigo,
in the fields of Salamaca, after seven
hours continual flghting, during which
the allies displayed prodigies of valor.
"His loss cannct be less than ten or
twelve thousand, four hundred pris-

field of battle for two leagues is cov-
ered with dead bodies, among them
'he colonel of the 101st regiment. The
English loss is not great, the Portu-
gese loss is but few and the Spanish
loss triffling, in all not more than
2,500."
Newspapers in 1812 did not have
the flare for news that the modern
papers display.

a record of the Indian as he really
was.
The original Indian religion was
intensely interesting to the priests.
In order to teach their religion to
the Indians, they had first to find out
what the Indians believed.
"The Indians persuade themselves,"
writ es Father Led vune. "that not
only men and other animals but all
other things ar endowed with souls
and that. the souls are immortal.
One medicine man explained the
linatter to Le Jeune.
"In th. spirit land, they hunt for
the souls of beavers, porcupines and
moose, using the souls of snow shoes
to walk upon the soul of the snow,
which is in yonder country; in short,
they make Of all things as we
• make use of things here."
Le •Jeune asked him:
"Now, when they kill the soul of a
beaver, does that soul then die en-
titely or go to sone. other village?"
Be silent," retorted the Indian.

Page after pnge, the beliefs of the
Indiens are set forth in a simplicity
and innocence which modern litera-
' Dire does not rontain at all. The
Jesuits were on the job before the
Indians ceuld he ennfuserl and con-
tamineted by the beliefs of the white
man. Their civilizatinn does not
look quite so stupid as more modern
autborities would make out. They

ter all, it was .very like the cruelties
nractised only a couple of hundred
years earlier in the lnds( from which
these very black robes had come.
There is a sense of doom in the
early pages of thso records which is
fully borne out, with all the trumpets
sounding and all the sky dripping
with fire and hInnel beore! their
strange, heroic etory is ended.
