LEAKING EGGS GO FARTHER

Eggs are high, and likely to be
higher, on account Of the price of
grain and labor. There are many
ways Of economizing in the use Of
eggs and still having good food, too.
When breading fish, outlets, or any
similar food to be fried, try beating
one egg and adding two tablespoon
fuls of cold water to it in place of
using two eggs. or set half of an egg
aside and use one tablespoonful of
water with the other half. Roll the
oysters, or whatever is being prepar-
ed, in this and dip in -four or crumbs
the same as usual.
In making pumpkins or squash pies,
substitute rounding tablespoonful of
flour for one egg in each pie. Some
people are successful in emitting the
eggs altogether, using -four in this
ratio instead. The success of the
method depends upon careful season
ing and baking.
Instead of the usual boiled frosting
made with egg-white, try connection
ers' sugar moistened with cream or,
If milk is used, add a teaspoonful OF
A4OIlO0 pQltO1s d1l0 6OdoOA4.- IA Lew
chopped nut meats make this FROST
ing very delicious.
In making egg omelet, try the fol-
lowing rule. it will take fewer eggs
and not be nearly SO likely to fall:
Allow one egg to a person, break into
a. bowl, and beat until light. Add a
tablespoonful of milk and a rolled
saltine cracker for each egg. The
crackers are the long, narrow ones.
! If you have the square ones on hand,
use half one to an egg. Roll crack
ers until very fine. Beat in with one
half teaspoonful baking powder, salt
and pepper to taste.
Have ready an omelet pan with a
large-sized tablespoonful. of hot fat
in it. Pour in the omelet mixture and
keep breaking the lower crust of the
omelet with the tip Of a knife. When

This is the 235th anniversary Of the
birth of the original of the famous
song, Annie Laurie" who was barn
Dec. 6. 1882, the daughter of Sir Rob

praise of the lovely Annie were writ
ten by a sutton, Mr. Douglas. The
latter, sad to relate, was unsuccessful
in his quest for the maiden's heart
and hand, for she became a Mrs. Fer
guson. It is rot related whether the
unfortunate Mr.. Douglas drank pois-
on or other strong drink, or just sim
ply went off and fell in love with
some other lassie. The present YER

Jane Scott, who made some ehanges

CAN THEY CONTROL THE

g. HE food controller IN Eng
land has fixed a maxi
mum price at which Eng
Hsh growers must sell their
wheat. 1t is a price of so shii
Hngs for 504 pounds. Re-
duced to American terms this
means approximately $1.73
Der bushel for wheat grown in
England. If English growers
can obtain such figures for
their wheat they certainly will
have little to complain about.
Yet even then the price will be
well under the price cOnsum-
ess in England will have to pay
for wheat purchased in Am
erica At the present time the
highest price quoted in Liver
pool Is $3.50 per bushel.
In connection with the con-
trol Of food prices an import

Britain can force arbitrary pri-
ces upon growers in Canada

well a. upon the English grow
crs. II this can be done the
action may be felt by the Am
