CARROT IN PLACE OF EGGS
Teacher Of Minneapolis Cooking
School Finds Excellent Suosti-
tute Saving in Cost.

Minneapolis. Ninn.-Carrots are be-
ing used as 2 substitute for eggs in
the evening class q the public cook
ing school
The teacher, Miss FTich. has been
obliged 10 curtsil the use Of eggs as
the price has scared She got along
nicely until The approach Of the holt
DAYS season. when all the students
wanted 10 learn how 10 cook English
plum pudding. Lots Of eggs are need
ed in plum pudding, and Miss Frich
found she could not afford 10 teach
the students plum pudding course
unless she found q substitute for eggs
After q long series Of experiments
Miss Erich solved the problem She
found that mashed carrots are an er
celient substitute for eggs. Tie re-
suits are equally satisfactory. The
man who eats the product does not
know the difference. she declares, and
the saving IN cost is wonderful
