ly between each addition. Let the
batter stand for at least an hour be-
fore using. If you wish to use this
as a sweet batter for apples, etc, add
a teaspoonful of powdered sugar in
stead of the salt.
This batter can be used to exc out
meat that would otherwise be insult
hcient for the number of people.
Meat in Batter-Cut the meat into
small dice, dust with pepper and very
finely powdered herbs, mix in with
the batter and drop by tablespoonfuls
into very hot fat to fry. Drain well on
absorbent paper and serve on toast.
The following is a delicious and
economical dessert which can be made
very much more nourishing by the ad-
dition of little whipped cream.
Apricot Cream-Use dried apricots,
wash them, soak until SOFT and SIM
mer with a little sugar and spoonful
or two of water Sieve and mix with
an equal quantity of cornstarch mix
ture. Place in china souffle dish, and,
if desired, cover the top with whipped
cream. For the cornstarch, use one
half ounce of cornstarch, half a tea
spoonful of sugar, according to the
sweetness of the fruit. Mix the corn
starch in a little of the cold milk
When smooth, heat the remaining
milk>and stir the cornstarch into it by
degrees. Add the sugar, and boil for
three or four minutes, stirring all the
time. If little essence of apricots be
added the taste is improved.
Baked Currant Pudding-One-half
pound of currants, one-quarter pound
OF dripping or lard, one-half pint of
milk "a little more if necessary,
grated nutmeg, one-half pound of
-four, three ounces of brown sugar,
one teaspoonful of baking powder, one
egg.
Sift the baking powder and flour
twice and rub in the fat. Add the nut
meg, sugar and currants. Beat the egg
with the milk and stir in the dry in
gradients. Put into a well-greased
baking tin and bake in warm oven
for one hour and quarter Sprinkle
with sugar before serving.
OF cakes And scenes there are
plenty which do not need eggs,
though l do not suggest for one
minute that cakes made with eggs are
not nicer than those without. Still,
if we'll mixed and baked, the eggless
kinds are not to be despised. especial
ly if eaten when fresh. When making
eggless cakes it is a good plan to
steam them for half the appointed
time of cooking and then to bake
them. Cooked thus they are less dry.

Meals at Lou Cost

Everyone is interested in it now.
OF course "it" is our very familiar
friend, the II. c. OF L., the high cost
of living One interesting result Of
this present situation is the now ia
nous Dict Squad OF the Chicago
Health Department. Dr. Robertson,
health commissioner, promised to
feed his people on the sum of 40
cents per person per day To most
people, numerically speaking, the sum
ri 40 cents per person per day is pro-
hibitive. However, DR.. Robertson
found after weeks trial that 50 %
cents was sufficient to provide very
palatable and satisfactory meals
Even that sum, though, is impossible
for many people TO meet. To a large
number 20 cents per person per day,
or even IS cents per person per day,
is all that can be allowed for food.
Meals at less than the last-men-
toned cost are bound to be very
monotonous, even if satisfactory from
the nutrition standpoint. One must
draw so largely from a few cheap
foods, notably rice, molasscs, salt
pork, skim milk, dried fruits, corn
meal, crackers, macaroni, split peas,
boiling beef occasionally and cheese.
The diet cannot be attractive and is
very apt to lack in mineral matter
the importance Of which cannot be
overestimated.
About two years ago the American
School of Home Economics in Chi
cago published a Bulletin entitled
Five Cent Meals which would suit
a lS-cent per person per day dietary.

EggLess Egg Dishes

With eggs now costing from forty
to sixty cents dozen and threats of
still greater advances, it may be well
to give a few recipes which do not de-
mand too many of them. At break
fast time, somehow, the valuable egg
seems almost a necessity, though
many try to use scrapple or sausage
or some other dish as substitute oc-
casionally. However, when the fam
lily Graves for eggs why not serve
them scrambled, adding tablespoon
full Of finely grated breadcrumbs to
each egg, fraud that is hardly dis
cernible and which makes the eggs go
almost twice as far. Another ekcd-
out egg dish is made as follows:
Eggs and Tomato Kedgeree: Have
ready a cupful of boiled rice per per-
son and allow one tomato per person.
Stew and sieve the tomatoes. Allow
one egg to each person and scramble
egg, tomato and rice with salt and
pepper just as for scrambled eggs.
Kedgeree: This is a blessed dish,
as one-half pound of cooked, faxed
and boned white fish with six teacup-
fuls of boiled rice and two eggs beaten
up together, we'll seasoned and made
hot, makes a fairly substantial dish
for six persons.
Savory Toast is not costly and if
properly made is very good. The
bread (stale) should be cut quite half
an inch thick and in four Inch squares.
Toast crisply on both sides, spread
with butter, witt deviled meat or
bloater paste. Make very hot and
serve. -
Ham is a very excellent breakfast
dish, served either cold Or as toast,
which is very appetizing and simply
made.
Ham Toast: The ham should be
minced very finely, and only little
fat used. To every two tablespoonfuls
of the meat add one tablespoonful of
crumbs or well-boiled rice, and mix it
with some good, brown gravy, or a
white sauce. Spread this mixture on
the buttered toast and cover with
breadcrumbs, brown and serve very
hot.
Rice added to rissoIes, or mince, is
q ueCldeu economy, and most people
like it, though in recent issue of an
English paper read of wounded Of
fcer who sent a note down to the
kitchen on his tray, saying, Madam,
why do you put rice in my fish ris-
soles" The answer, which came
promptly, read, '"Sir, it perhaps has
