At THE WALDORF

One day at the Waldorf, Oscar sent
up some baked potatoes which We're
certainly delightful. and would form
an easy and attractive feature for a
home luncheon.
Good-sized kidney potatoes had been
chosen, and after washing and greas-
ing the jackets had been baked in a
slow oven well away from the heat.
As soon as they We're cooked they
were laid on one side. and hole dug
in them, the potato was loosened with
a small sharp knife. care being taken
that the skin was not broken.
Immediately this was accomplished
some finelygrated cheese was put into
the potato, and raw egg broken into
the hole that had been dug out.
The heat of the potato cooked the
cheese and the egg and with the addi-
ton of a little pepper and salt the
dish was ready to serve the moment
the egg was broken in It constitutes
mighty pretty dish. the deep yeI-
low of the egg making a pretty con-
trast to the gray brown of the potato

Food for Invalids

BY Ruth RAYMOND.

When poaching eggs for invalids,
use milk instead of water to poach
them in; this gives the eggs a delicate
flavor. Remove the pan from the fire
the moment you have broken in the
eggs, and let them cook slowly.
A nice way to boil an egg is to place
it in a bowl, cover with boiling water,
and let stand five minutes. Pour off
the water, cover again with boiling
water, and let stand FIVE minutes long
er. The egg will be cooked to perfec-
ton.
Scraped beef made into a sandwich
or served on toast is very nourishing.
Scrape the beef finely, and brown
for a second on a tin plate over the
fire, season to taste, and spread it be-
tween slices of thin bread and butter
or on toast. IT is also nice spread be-
tween toasted crackers. Another way
is to put the scraped beef between
slices of bread, and toast the sand
witch.
Wine Whey makes a delicate supper
dish.
Take half a cup of milk and three
ounces of sherry. Scald the milk, add
the wine. remove quickly from the fire.
Put on ice until cold, and sweeten to
taste.

1ocKJAw FROM BEES STING

Unusual as was the case of lock-
jaw which followed the sting of a bee
in a suburb of Philadelphia. it is not
unintelligible. Ordinary dirt is the
abode of tetanus germs, and only the
slightest abrasion of the skin is neces-
sary to facilitate incubation. It is
because the hands of the victims are
already soiled that a trif1ing injury
with a toy pistol so often leads to, a
fatal result. If the Foy child had been
playing out of doors before the insect
stung him a chance had been afforded
for a transfer of germs from the earth
in the garden to his neck, and the bee
might then have done the rest.-New
York Tribune.
