NEW EGG RECIPES.

| Eggs are expensive There is no gain

! expensive they still have the economical
quality that they are nourishing, easily

| There is another point in favor of eggs,
even when they are high priced. One
egg is sufficient for breakfast for most
persons. Suppose it costs six or even
seven cents. One chop. unless 1t be thin,
costs more than the seven-cent egg, with
the present price OF lamb in force.
Here is savory egg dish: Put a
tablespoonful of cream sauce in the bot
tom of a small custard cup. On it break
an egg and cover it with another spoon
full of sauce. Sprinkle with salt, pepper
and grated cheese and brown in mod

White chiffon is the material chosen
for the gown on the right. The style is
unusual, for the upper part of the skirt
assumes the pleasing lines OF the draped
ceinture. which the Indian dancing girl
favors. AS if to intensity this oriental
el4ect, sparkling brilliants are threaded
along the edges of this swathing drapery.
Silk floss of wondrous sheen is cleverly
wrought on the corsage draperies, while
ffaring above the knees is full fiounce
of pleated white maline.
Much dainty footwear is worn at pres
ent. and among its prettiest adjuncts are
the sparkling rhinestone mounts that
surround the eyelets or adorn the straps.
Other gems are a so used, while the rib
bon iacings prove most effective against
the delicately colored hose.
The wraps selected to cover the filmy
gowns are frequently made from long OF
square pieces of handsome velvet edged
with fur Sometimes they are also en-
broidered with fine stitching or applique
which is incrusted with sequins or scin-
tillating gems. Hair ornaments, too, re-
fleet the spirit of the hour, for they are
often laden with the bright particles thai
glitter as brilliantly as the real gems.

was perfect-is dimmed by the apparel OF
the fond aunt who accompanied the child

was lady OF exquisite taste and gen
teel menners. But when she Travelled
she dressed for travel. She wore an old
and wrinkled skirt, because, as she ar
gued, sitting in train wrinkled one S
clothes anyway. She wore an unbe-
coming hat and a hideous veil. Her
blouse was dark and dismal And her
gloves were the browning point of her
costume. They were old white gloves,
spotted in some unexplained manner
with ink. She had been saving them
for just such a journey, she explained
because ones gloves always become
solled on railroad train.
There used to be many women who

Has New Scheme
For Curing Nerves

New York Times: In one of the
sanitariums where nervous women go
to get back poise, appetite and normal
sleep, a housework cure has been
made a regular part of the recuper-
ative system. Just as Muldoon's S
masculine patients are forced to give
up their luxurious meals, late hours
and Wallets while they are put through
the strenuous exercises, rides and
walks that restore them to condition,
so the women are obliged to submit
absolutely to rules that call for sey-
eral hours a day of housework
Father Vaughan once astonished
London society by advising them to go
and try the washtub as a preventive
and cure for their ills, and this is
practically what the new cure does.
Doctors for years have advised ner-
vous women patients to do their own
Imperial Valley press., 1913-09-23

in favor of arranging things so that
all soldiers who distinguished them
selves in the athletic field may serve
about six months of their three years,
regularly in the army then to be ode
tailed for duty at Rheims where for
two years and half all they will
have to do will be to train Ex-min-
lister of War Messimy himself told
the correspondent that he, personally,
favors the plan. But even if this does
not go through, athletic soldiers will
be allowed time to do serious training
throughout their compulsory military
service, and whatever happens the
Olympic committee will have the pick
of the entire army at its disposal.
Special effort is being made to de-
velop the Jim Thorpe type of athlete,
that is the all round man. To this
purpose series of field days are be-
ing held all over France in which all
who enter take part in all contests
which include the decathelon events
The winner of the Paris field day
was Georges Andre, a French Olym-
pic athlete, who, since Stockholm, is
said to have developed wonderfully.
Sportsmen now declare him to equal
the Indian Thorpe
France has asked the question: Is
the American a better man physically
than the European, or is he always
winner because better trained. In an
attempt to answer this France intends
devoting scores Of thousands Of dol
lars, special legislation, all sorts Of
encouragement and several years time
in the scientific, careful development
and training of her available athletics.
And at the Berlin Olympiad three
years hence the answer may be read.

bents OF fourth class offices to stumble
over it. It will comprise four ques-
tions, having the following weight:
Arithmetic, so points; penmanship, Is
points; letter writing, 20 points;
copying addresses, Is points.
The arithmetic test will have four
questions. In question / the contest
ant will be required to add eight whole
numbers and from the sum subtract
another whole number. Question :
is bookkeeping. Examination paper
will give the value of stamps cancel
led at certain post office, the amount
of money received from newspaper
postage, from the sale of waste paper
and from box rents. The candidate
will be given a blank form on which
he must set down these figures in
their proper plces, and then he must
compute the salary Of the postmaster
for the quarter in accordance with the
directions given on the form. Ques-
tion 8 deals with multiplication and
division Of decimal fractions and also
the reduction of simple fractions to
decimals. Question A is practical
arithmetic, calculating the number Of
post office boxes that can be put into
a certain space, the number of yards
of linoleum required to cover a given
a given floor space. Question 5 is
a blank money order report to be prop
erly filled out from figures given in

having won their places by compe-
titive examinations.
This is big news to thousands os
country store keepers who find the
adjunct of the post office in their
stores not only a profitable depart
ment in itself but one which brings
much trade for the general merchan-
disc end of the emporiums. Thus there
will be keen competition for the jobs,
the civil service commission estima-
ting that there will be three app,i-
cants for every place, Or about $4,000
candidates who will take the examina-
tions. AS rule a single examination
will be held in each county for all
fourth class offices in that countv.
Consequently there is sure to be
mighty brushing up on the three Rs
in thousands of rural communities
during the next year. Dogeared arith-
metics which have not seen use for
40 years will be recovered from the
depths Of closets. and storerooms.
Spoilers will be busted off again, and
steel-bowed specs will be polished and
focused not on the usual weekly news
paper but in the pursuit Of elementary
erudition. And if Bill and Mart and
Steve and the others who are want to
gather around the stove of winter
evenings and settle the problems of
the nation become too boisterous in
their disputations they may expect to
receive rebuke from the white whisker-
ed store keeper disturbed by their
clamor in his scholastic labors.
The examination is not hard. in
fact, it is one that could be easily
passed by almost any grammar school
boy, yet the civil service commission

housework, but the trouble has al
ways been that while women might
make a fad of the idea for a day
or so, they speedily fell back into
their easy ways, lazy habits and too
frequent indulgence in rich foods and
sweets.
This is not possible when a patient
is taking the housework cure. Nat
urally enough women do not banker
after it, but sometimes there comes
crisis in hysterical and nervous
when dangers threaten that
are too serious to be set aside in the
usual manner. Then it is that the
society woman dons a cap, a blue
linen gown and apron and takes up
the implements of the kitchen.
A splendidly equipped sanitary
kitchen is the scene of the cure. Here
all the newest conveniences in the way
of antiseptic glass tables, tiled floors
and walls, electrical heating and
cooking devices, blue and white ware
and china make an inviting picture
1t certainly is a pleasanter setting

A staff of instructors in domestic
science take turns in giving lectures
and practical demonstrations. By de-
grees the women who are ill forget
their woes in the novelty of their
tasks and take up their brooms and
dustpans with interest and even
amusement.
There is plenty of rest between the
tasks and classes, in addition to open
air exercises, open air sleeping and
all the helpful water tonics that prove
so helpful for the overwrought ner-
yes. Washing is one of the arts that
form part of the cure system, and
when the chemistry of the process is
made clear it is remarkable how in
teresting and fascinating this usually
despised task becomes. Laces and
dainty handkerchiefs are the articles
chosen and the pupils are instructed
in the bluing, starching, drying,
sprinkling and ironing of the things.
1t is all very different from the
ordinary society day, with the ex-
ception that tennis, golf, riding and
athletics are indulged in. The food
is of the simple and wholesome sort.

ing the way in which the usual French
household should be managed said:
There should be no more of this
foolish idea that a girl who does
domestic work is not socially the
equal Of the one who works a loom
in a factory. On the contrary, it
would be a desired position, splen-
didly paid for, as all good art should
be paid for.
'In French households there is be-
tween the mistress and her maid the
most delightful feeling of apprecia-
tion. In the middle class French
family one maid looks after the
household, does the marketing, cooks,
mends, nurses. She is esteemed as one
of the family, She enters into their
lives, looks after their expenditures,
and there is no more throught of her
as a menial than there would be of q
