Fresh canned eggs promise long shelf life for housewives
Dr. M. E. Pennington of the Philadelphia Laboratory of the Government Bureau of Chemistry proposes a new method for canning eggs that preserves freshness for years without heat. Eggs are candled for freshness, broken into sterilized cups, and sealed in sterilized cans or jars, kept at near freezing temperatures to prevent germs. The process aims for raw eggs in sterile containers, ready for market directly from cold storage. Also noted is the twentieth annual Ministerial and Sunday-school meeting of the Church of the Brethren in Pennsylvania with various sessions and topics.
