Show After Bad Eggs The State Dairy and Food Commissioner has announced his intention of prosecuting all all dealers who persist in selling "pure maple syrup" that has no maple in its composition, and also those who advertise "strictly "strict-ly fresh eggs", that were fresh many moons ago. When domestic Science-teachers tell us that except for eating cold storage eggs are precisely as gocd as the freshest laid there seems to be little excuse for such deception. The few cents gain would not count for much against the loss in reputation. For there are a very few housewives house-wives who cannot tell a fresh egg when they break the shell, and the dealer would be more than apt to lose the trade of that . customer in other lines as well. It would appear that between be-tween the customer who dislikes to be deceived, and the pure food commissioner who has declared de-clared his intention of prosecuting, prosecut-ing, such a dealer would be ."between ."be-tween the devil and the deep 3ea". (Our idea is that he is rather closer to the former.) |
