Roscoe Conkling. Conkling was one

Of the orange and strawberry was en-

SUBSTITUTE FOR FRESH EGGS.

Powdered eggs are used by many
bakeries and have been looked upon
as successful in making custards and
dishes requiring many eggs. The
fresh egg is unquestionably the most
wholesome and to be desired above all
others, yet 1t is seldom that city
dWellers procure them unless they are
well acquainted with the source of
supply. as cold storage and various
methods are resorted to to hold eggs

omelet made in this manner, however,
will meet all the demands of economy,
and will, at the same time, be as light
and fluffy as though prepared In the
ordinary and more costly way. Put a
cupful of finely -crumbed bread into a
bowl, and pour over it two-thirds of q
cupful Of sweet milk. When the
bread has become thoroughly mois-
tened stir 1t with spoon until it is
entirely smooth and free from Jumps.
Add the yolks of two eggs. beating
them into the bread and milk one at
a time. then fold in the stinly whipped
whites and pour into q well-buttered
baking dish. Bake in q moderate oven

to sprinkle the top Of the omelet with
grated cheese and paprika before re-
moving 1t from the oven. II q sweet

Within recent months there have

Naval officers say that such acci-

once in a while he is bound to have
chance against him.
The navy which keeps its ships and
its personnel up to an efficiency near,

Not Available for Immediate
Call, Supply Of Drugs 10
Prime Requisite.

Keep your medicine closet In order.
In every household. especially In coun'
try homes, where doctors and drug
stores are far away. there should be a
well-supplied and wellkept medicine
closet. This should be locked or high
up out of reach of children.
Have everything labeled and plainly
marked. with the average dose written
on it. Have drugs marked for exter-
nal use" if used for that purpose only.
1t is through carelessness and lack of
plain marking that many cases of
poisoning have occurred.
1t is the custom now, however, for
all poisonous drugs to be put in blue
bottles SO as to help prevent mistakes
of this kind. Labels all prepared to be
stuck, with mucilage on the back, can
be procured at drug stores or station
ers, and are very convenient for re-
marking medicine bottles If they need
it.
1t is a good plan to go through your
medicine chest once or twice a year
and empty out old prescriptions, as
they become stagnant and worthless
after several months-that is. some do
and they undergo changes from
standing.
Keep a few empty clean bottles in
your medicine closet and clean corks,
also keep some soft clean old linen
cloths for cut fingers, etc. Have q
few bandages of different widths, q
spoon and a medicine glass (like a
small wine glass, only 1t is marked
Of in eight teaspoons, making one
ounce).
You should keep on hand in your
medicine closet some staple drugs,
such as calomel, in tablets or powders,
of one grain each: quinine, one grain:
brandy. codeine (for pain), one-quarter
grain; castor oil, EPSON salts, Rochelle
salts. carron oil, for burns: alcohol, for
external use; turpentine and vaseline.
for external use, especially for colds
in the chest and bronchial colds; mus.
tard leaves, socalled, which come as
an already prepared mustard paste, for
external use.
Have your medicine closet beyond
the reach of small children, as fatal
accidents have occurred from children
having access to the medicine closet.
1t belongs to good housekeeping and
to the complete homemaker to have q
medicine closet up to the usual de-
mands of ordinary circumstances. II
you do not need the medicines. so
much the better.
When say closet do not mean, of
course, the usual large closet built in
all modern bedrooms. I allude more to
wall cabinet or shelves inclosed and
containing doors. These are provided
or built in all modern houses, gen.
orally in the bathroom, but in country
houses, especially in old-fashioned
houses. where there are none. one
could easily be made by q carpenter.
