Elmer Broadbent, University of Illinois farm economist, believes that prices will behave normally in 1955. That means, he says, that early, chicks will be producing eggs when prices are good. Normally, Broadbent explains, egg prices aie 30 to 50 percent higher during ttye late summer and fall than during the winter and spring. But prices haven't behaved tHat way durihg the past twelve months. High egg prices in 1953 caused poultrymen to keep old hens after pullets, had started to lay and to start more chicks in the spring of 1954. This heavy production, Broadbent explains, plus a heavy flow of storage eggs coming onto the market caused a surplus. The large supply held prices down. October production Was 38 percent above normal, Broadbent says. This excess plus the normal heaVy winter production will keep' egg prices lower than average until about June. But after June they should behave normally. Punctuality is appieciated by hosts and> hostesses even more than solvency, so far as guests are concerned. Business and Service Directory o!

ALTHOFF'S HARDWARE "McHenry County's Leading Hardware" Phone 284 501 Main St. McHenry, I1L The state Department of Public Health is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of its laboratory service this week. Open house was held Dec. 1 at the laboratories in Rock Island, Chicago, Champaign, Springfield, Cai bondale and East St. Louis. These laboratories now" perform almost a million tests a year in the department's unending search for disease. Notable reduction in the prevalence of diphtheria, typhoid fever and tuberculosis dates back to the introduction of laboratory service. Illinois deaths from diphtheria dropped from 884 in 1904 to one in 1963. Likewise, typhoid fever deaths declined during the past fifty years from 1,300 to a single one, while deaths from tuberculosis dropped from 7,234 in 1904 to 1,256 last year. While the work of the department's laboratories alone could not have produced this outstanding reduction in mortality, it is regarded as a major contributing factor. St. Mary's Club ?
