AN egg with the yolk broken in
cooking Is wasted, SO far as its use In
orders like that is concerned We have
applied safety first to the kitchens
and have eliminated most OF that
breakage A fresh egg, the kind used
in straight egg orders, is worth about
cents. A fairly careful cook breaks
the yolk of, say, one out of ten eggs.
Estimating that 100000 eggs are used
in a certain period, the probable num-
Der that would be spoiled by indiffer-
ent cooking would be $4,000. The
value Of that number of eggs is $1,000
But our cooks. being egged to greater
carefulness and greater efficiency,
save US most Of that loss"
