How to Cook Eggs.

a boiled egg should be either soft
boiled or hard enough for the yolk to
crumble to be easily digested. An au-
thority upon egg cookirs says that
boiled eggs to be at their best should
not be boiled at all. If desired hard.
they should be kept in water just be-
low the boiling point for twenty min
utes. For soft eggs, put them in cold
water, and when the water reaches the
boiling point the egg should be taken
out, and it will be found creamy and
delicate. When poaching eggs, to make
them into ball shape, but one egg
should be cooked at time. After the
water begins To- boil rapidly stir it
around until small circle is formed
IN the water, drop the egg into the mid
die. and the motion of the boiling water
will form circular covering of white
around the unbrOken Yolk

Eat More Fruit.

If people ate more fruit they would
take less medicine and have better
health. There is an old saying that
fruit is gold in the morning and lead
AT night. As a matter OF fact, saws the
WomaE's Medical Journal, it may be
Soid at both times, but it should be
eaten on an empty stomach and not
as a dessert, when the appetite is sat
lshed and digestion is already suffi-
GENTLY taxed. Fruit, taken in the
morning before the fast of the night is
broken, is very refreshing and it serves
as stimulus to the digestive organs.
y ripe apple or an orange may be TAX
en- at this time with good effect. Fruit,
to be really valuable as an article of
diet, should be ripe, sound and in every
way of good quality and, if possible.
should be eaten raw. Instead of eating
a plate of ham or eggs and bacon for
breakfast, most people would do far
better If they took some grapes. pears

The Making of Coffee.

The startling news is impaired to us
in official manner that, to make good
coffee, it is imperative that the water
should boil fifteen or twenty minutes
To be sure you have good coffee is the
supremely important thing, of course.
1T ought to be ground at home. as in
the time of our grandmotherS. The oil
of coffee bought ready ground is alb
sorbed into its paper wrapping, and its
flavor deteriorates. Not only that. but
only so much coffee should be ground
as can be used at once. The pot may
be nladn of agate or tin. but you must
make sure that the surface finish is
not worn off anywhere, exposing the
enamel; otherwise it will conspIre very
dfsagreeably with the tannin in the
coffee. Having put the coffee into the
pot, pour in the cooked water while
it is still boiling. and then set the pot
on the fire until it just comes to boil,
Remove and allow TO stand for a few
minutes. then serve
Coffee to be iced should be made very
strong. An allowance of two table
spooufuis to each person is not too
much. A good recipe calls for the yolk
of one egg TO be allowed each cup.
Nix the coffee and the egg in a bowl,
and add one cup of cold water. Then
add six cups of freshly boiled water,
and set on the fire to boil five minutes.
Pour over shaved ice in tall glasses
while the coffee is hot. Sweeten, and
add whipped cream.
Iced tea. on the other hand is better
if allowed to cool before bringing to the
table. OF course, il should have been
poured off of the leaves as soon as 1t
