In a report by Dr. A. W. J. MacFadden on the work of inspectors of food during 1917-18, which has just been issued by the Local Government Board, there is an interesting section dealing with the importation from China of eggs in liquid form. Before the war the bulk of this material went to Germany, and the small quantities brought here were used for industrial purposes and, to a limited extent, for confect ionery. After the outbreak of war large consignments arrived at certain ports in this country as cargoes in prize ships. and further, trying to show what since then large quantities have wrong.
