The whites will be thrown away. _or vice versa. Why not make a saving of the whites or yolks. as the case may be? was suggested. V The packers put the question to the confectioners. and the latter saw the point. Now. when a confectioner wants to make stuff with the yolks he sends to a packing house and buys yolks by the gallon. if he wants to use the whites for some- thing, he sends for them. If" he wants to use both. he sends and gets a mixed can. It is predicted that housewives will soon adopt the same method. vi1.u.|_ 41.1- .._... .._...a..._.
