the use of benzoate of soda and saIicyIic
acid in canning factories. the active revolt
of the victimized public and the determined
action Of associated manufacturers who
challenge investigation of products and
methods of preservation of the same have
put new aspect upon the subject.
Has our correspondent reason on his
side when he aff1rms that reformers of this
Xix, in common with other manufacturers
of similar proclivities, are fighting benefi-
cent legislation directed against the
conservation of childhood? Is there
truth in the assertion that the chief out
cry against Gamers is now based upon
their employment of child labor?"
The charge is serious. Feeling that L
hold a perpetual brief for the American
housewife and mother I call upon members
of our gid who can testify intelligently
with regard to the employment of children
in canneries, to- let US know II the COM
panies having control of these are sinners
above their fellow manufacturers in this
respect.
This matter of child labor is vital to the
integrity and existence of the home in
our country.

the end and aim of the Helping Hand. be-

subject, ~ The Chatting Dish Supper" by
Christine Terhune Herrick.
SCRAMBLED EGGS-Melt a tablespoon
full of butter in the blazer and turn into
1t five eggs, which you have beaten just
enough to blend the whites and yolks, add
a half pint of milk. Stir steadily until the
eggs thicken; season to taste with salt and
pepper and serve at once before the eggs
begin to separate or curdle. Serve them
on toast.
You may vary this dish acceptably by
spreading the toast with anchovy or
bloater paste, or with chopped ham or
tongue, softened with butter and kept
hot until required. Or you may spread
sliced or grated cheese on crackers. set
these in the oven until the cheese melts
and heap the smoking eggs up on these.
You may make still further variety by
cooking a little anchovy paste with the
eggs or using a well seasoned gravy in
stead of milk. Scrambled eggs are at their
best cooked in the chafing dish, because
they may be eaten before they have time
to fall and become heavy.

blended and smoking hot, pour on them a

lay in thirty oysters. cook until they begin
to plump, and then add the beaten yolks
of two eggs, slowly, stirring all the time.
Cook until the sauce loses the raw yellow
of the uncooked egg and begins to grow
creamy, salt and pepper to taste, and serve
at once. Longer cooking will curdle the
sauce.
