Baked eggs with cheese makes very
nice lenten dish. Butter some egg
| dishes and in the bottom of each one
place very thin slice of cheese; break
over this an egg. For each egg allow
one tablespoonful each of bread crumbs
arc grated cheese. one teaspoonful of
melted butter and little salt and pep
| per; stir the melted butter into the
| crumbs and add the cheese and season
ings; sprinkle lightly over the eggs and
| place in very hot oven until the eggs
are set. Serve hot.
| Among the many strange an wonder
full things that we are being taught now
days is contradiction of the old idea
that bread is the staff of life" In
fact, it is really true that the bread
made from white -four does not consti-
tute the staff, for that bread is filling
| but not nourishing. Bread has not re
! signed its high place upon our tables
| and doubtless never will, but we have
discovered that in the present methods
of milling, all that is nutritious in the
wheat is taken out and nothing but
starch remains, the gluten an phos-
pilates have all been extricated from
the wheat and consequently the
! Strengthening qualities are gone.
/ hence the saying that bread
is not the staff of life; however, the
graham bread contains these necessary
elements, and is therefore the bread we
should eat, although at times even this
bread is very indigestible on account of
containing the whole wheat berry
ground up.
Here is a good recipe for Graham
bread: One cupful of wheat -four, one
half cupful of good molasses, one-half
cupful of good yeast, one teaspoonful of
salt, one pint of warm water and suffi-
cient Graham -four to make the dough
stiff; this is to be mixed at night and
then in the morning add one teaspoon
full of soda dissolved in a little water;
mix we'll and put into two pans; let it
stand in warm place until it rises and
bake for about an hour in a hot oven.
Candied sweet potatoes are prepared
by boiling as many as are needed until
they are thoroughly cooked, then peel

and another of sugar, with some bits of
butter on top. A very little maple
syrup may be added just before putting
them into the oven. Only leave them
in until they are brown as they have
been already cooked. Serve at once.
Scalloped Onions-Take eight or ten
good sized onions, peel and slice them
aad boil until tender. Lay them in

crumbs and so on until the dish is
filed, putting the bread-crumbs last;
add two cupfuls of milk or cream, ana
bake for twenty minutes or half an
tour.
Mashed Carrots-Scrape and wash
six or seven carrots, cook until tender
in boiling water slightly sailed. Drain
well and mash with potato-masher.
Season with pepper and salt, and work
in a piece of butter. Serve while hot
