Cornstarch as Egg Substitute

T notice you request chemist to tell why cornstarch takes the place of eggs in pumpkin pie. There is no mystery about that. The work of the egg is to thicken the custard, which, of course, the corn starch can do as well, with no material change in the taste, but the food value will be considerably altered. The albu- minous white of egg is vital food which is of great value in repairing and strengthening the brain and nerves. The cornstarch is only a fat and heat produ- cer. of which we get far too much, any way. Those who can digest and assmi- late 1t will get fat. Those who cannot will have their systems clogged with un- used material, overheating the blood,
 making it subject to colds, catarrh, in f1ammation. and levers, which take the nature of whatever germs are present. Our cooking should be more scientific and not so much pampering of taste and lowing to economy at the expense of health. We need balanced ration, just as much as the COW or hen does, to keep us in health and develop our best pow CTS. A properly balanced ration will keep us well, entirely eliminate many diseases, and benefit all. ; Ninety per cent of all diseases are now attributed to wrong eating.
