WASHING WILL HELP DECAY

Many Egga Are Spoiled Each Year Because They Have Become Wet Before Reaching Market. It is estimated that more than 5,000,000 eggs are spoiled every year because they have been washed or in some way have become wet before reachirig market. The shell of an egg contains a gelatinous substance which prevents air and germs from entering the eggs. Washing destroys this substance and promotes decay.
