Dillon, the pre- vious market head, and substitute another set of rules that had no tecth. Commissioner Dilton used every means at his dispusal to have storage eges sold as such and at a fair price over the actual cost; but in order to protect the consumers against unfair dealers, all storage eggs removed from the original cases had to be stamped with the words ‘wold storage” on the shells before they could be replaced in the same or a different container. By this method Comsmiasioner Dillon enabled the con- sumers to get these exes at fair prices. These rules did not impose any hardphips on the wholesaler, who wold’ in original packages, only and retail dealer had to stamp them. Tt was rather strange that the mer- chants who took most interest in having the Dillon Egg Stamping Law annulled were wholesalers who were net compelled to stamp the eggs when selling in ofiginal packages; but dual capacity of receiver and jobber, taking the two prota, and the criti- ciems levelled at the enforcement of | the stamping regulations, citing the increased cost, ihe breakage and waste of time, were mere subterfuges, which became evident later when the consumer was compelled to pay 90 cents to $1.10 a dozen for eggs that e dozen.

It soaks all impurities from the teeth and polishes away all deposits without scatching delt e tooth enamel, Its non-abrasive polishing agent is “Milled-in-Oil” so that it can cleanse, massage and polish without injury to tooth yenamel. You will ultimately use Chlorox. Ask for the blue and white checkered tube.
