Probably very few people are aware
of the fact that a large proportion of
the eggs used in this country go into
the manufacture of some article other
than food. The calico print works use
over 40,000,000 eggs each year. Photo
graphic establishments use millions of
dozens, and wine clariQers call for
over 10,000,000 dozen. The demand
from these sources increases faster
than the table demaud. They are
used by book binders, kid glove manu
facturers, and for finishingfine leather.
To these various demands is due the
high price of egS which is very uui

the name of the association. Perhaps
the typewriter is responsible for some
of the breaks. It reads:
Whereas, We believe it to be the
duty of all liberal-minded physiciansto
adopt such means as will best observe
the advancement of medical science in
the direction of true liberalism and in

physicians and more especially with a
view to demonstrate the improvement
in the science of physic and enhance
ment of the interest and welfare of
humanity as well as to promote the
success and prosperity of true medical
reform, do we, the liberal physicians
of this county, form ourselves into an
association for the purpose incorpora
tion under the name of the Cass
County medical Association oi ine
;ttf. of Xeb. Incorporated for the
consummation of the object herein ex
pressed, and to that end we do sub

ment of scientific reform" and "bar

II. C. Madding, "seceritury," certi
fies that the articles are an exact copy
of the original in his hands. Although
the association has Dot complied witn
the statutes, it sent a fee for filingand
the articles got filed.
The above article was shown severa
Plattsmouth physicians today, and
they all regarded the "combine" as a
joke. Needless to say, none of the
local doctors are members.
