to them outside the Institution, but must
come to the regular dining hall It they
want something to eat On account of
the crowded condition of the home for
the last year or so It has been necessary
to find sleeping accommodations for some
of the Inmates outside the Institution

eat at their homes. However, as soon
as the new building Is built It Is thought
that there will be plenty of room for all
at the Institution.

must be properly packed in cases of the
standard make and In such a manner
that they will bear handling without dan
ger of breaking. This will take responsi
bility oft of the wholesaler and put It
on the railway company, and will neces'
sltate an examination by the agent where
the eggs aro received as to their proper
packing.
