Miss Adelia Fruchte, will undergo tomorrowmorning at 9 o’clock at the Lutheran hospital. Mrs. Adelia has been suffering from appendicitis for about a year and while she has not grown worse at the present time, the operation was deemed the only thing that could effect a cure and it was thought best to hold it now before her condition grew more serious. The bottom has fallen out of the egg market —eggs are one-half cheaper than they were three weeks ago, or at this time last year. As a consequence it is no longer a sign of opulence or pride to go about with a streak of yellow on your chin or as a decoration on the family table linen. Housekeepers who have been rather parsimonious in doling out the eggs in the family larder the past few weeks are now dispensing eggs sumptuously and there is a mad “scramble” both to the market for them and with them after they get them. Eggs today are selling at sixteen cents, which is less than one-half the price they were the latter part of December when they sold for thirty-three cents.
