 Cold Storage and Preserved Eggs. 



The following governing the sale of eggs in Maine was first 

 published in Official Inspections i6, November, 1909. 



The National Government has successfully maintained cases 

 against eggs, and people who have offered eggs for sale, that

 that only freshly lain eggs can be lawfully sold as eggs in Maine 

 without being labeled to show exactly what they are. Cold

 to decompose cannot be lawfully sold in Maine under any con-
