particularly expensive, many OF them
have a very rich appearance when they

HIna on Cooking Eaas.

Use a vessel with straight sides "a
quart measure win do). because It is
easier to keep water up to the desired
temperature than in a vessel with
flaring sides. Have the water boiling
hot. Drop the eggs in and keep the
temperature up to boiling, but do not
let it boil Let eggs remain in the
water eight or ten minutes; the whites
should be jelly-like. not hard. and the
yolk should also be cooked, but not
hard. Cooked in this way, eggs are
more palatable.-Home Department.

FOR THE AFTERNOON TEA
New Sandwich Idea That Carries With
II q Distinct Sense Of the
Appetlzlng.

America has the best oysters and
salads OF any country in the world.
Mrs. Lily Haxworth Wallace, the Eng
lish cooking expeSt, told the women az
pure food show cooking lesson at
New York.
THE best way to cook an oyster,f
said Mrs. Wallace, "is not to cook II
at all. There is an English saying,
The more you do to an oyster the
more 1t will do to you That means
that the more you cook it the less
nourishment you get"
But she gave them recipes to cook
the best oyster in the world, the
American oyster, If they we're NOT
content to eat 1t raw. The American
salad is the best in the world, Mrs.
Wallace says, because America has
the greatest variety of fruits, vege-
tables, and other products of the gar
den and field. She gave the women
recipe for a new sandwich that p
number of them said they were going
to try Immediately for afternoon tea.
Two ounces Of almonds are salted
and ground for the egg and almond
sandwich and passed through the
meat chopper. Two finely minced hard
boiled eggs, blended with two table,
spoonfuls Of butter, are added, and the
whole is seasoned and spread between
thin slices of bread. .

received an increase in salary the
first of the month and the postoffice
department has provided additional
work so they will earn their money.
At the present time they are classify

on their routes which requires about
one hour additional time each day.
This will be the program until about
the time the parcels post provision is
inaugurated and then they expect to
build second story to their vehicles
in order to provide for the additional
packages. Evidently Uncle Sam be-
