HOW TO EAT EGGS.
They Arc More Indiesstibls Soft
Than Hard Boiled.

Than Hard Boiled.
Hard. boiled eggs have always been con.
sidered indigestibls food o. compared
to soft boiled ones, and It 10 far from gen.
orally known that the soft.boiled egg
when eaten with spoon and not thor
oroughly masticated. says the Philsdel-
phia Ledger, 10 much more indissstible
than its hard. boiled brother.
The former gathers in the stomach in
little balls. which Offer little or no surface
for the gastric juice to attack tbem. Soft
boiled eggs should therefore never be
eaten without bread to allow them to be
thoroughly mSsticated.
In order TO extract all the nourishing
substance from al egg it is best TO beat it
up in wine, soup or other food which re.
quires the addition of eggs, for in that
case it reaches the stomach in we'll sep
arated particles and can be prepared by
the gastric juices for digestion.
