To save meat that it may be
more plentiful "over there" for
our soldiers and the starving peo-
pie Of war-torn Europe, does not
mean that we must 60 without al
kinds Of flesh food. commonly cal
led "meat." There are any num-
ber Of things to serve in place Of
the beef, pork. bacon, etc. that we
are asked to save. We, at home,
have poultry, rabbits. fish, and
other good things. One Of them
is the rabbit. From . pest, he is
rapidly rising to the dignity Of .
popular food. When properly
cooked and served, the rabbit is
every bit as delicious rs chicken,
and just as nourishing. Here are
two excellent ways Of cooking the
rabbit 80 that all the flavor Of the
meat will be retained, and not dry.

MAKING EGGS GO FARTHER
Emma Gray Wallace

Eggs are high, and likely to be high
er, on account Of the price Of grain
and labor. There are many ways of
economixing in the use Of eggs and
still have good food too.
When breading fish, outlets, or any
similar food to be fried, try beating
one egg in place Of two, and add two
tablespoons Of cold water To- it In
stead Of using two eggs. Dip the fish,
outlet or whatever it is to be fried, IN
this and then in cracker or dried
bread crumbs, and fry in the usual
way.
In making pumpkin or squash pie,
substitute 4 rounded tablespoonful Of
flour for one egg in each pie. Some
cooks are successful in emitting the
eggs altogether, using -four in this
ratio instead. The success Of this
method depends upon careful season
Instead Of the usual boiled frosting
made with egg whites, try using con-
fectioners' sugar, moistened with milk
or cream. II milk is used, add tea
spoon Of melted butter and favor. A
few chopped nut meats makes this
frosting very delicious

The homo bredS to win the omen title.
First Time Since Championship
1t wiil he the first time that Evans
has played at Merton since he won the
amateur title. II VIII also he the first
time thrt Barnes has played the course
since he won the Philadelphia open last
summer Hagen has played the course
before and Marston is now n member Of
the Merton Cricket Club and is familiar
with the course.
The last time that two amateurs
played in this city against two profess
SIGNALS was last fall. when Evans and
Norman II. Maxwell, the then North and
South amateur champion, defeated
Barnes and eddie Loos on the thirty
eighth hole at Whitemarsh in, one Of
the most sensational matches ever staged
in this country. The feeling before the
match began was that the two profcs-
SIGNALS would win, as Barnes had shot a
81 for the course record and both he
and Ioos had plf yed the course a mum
bcr of times unde" 20. On the other
hand. Evans never saw the course until
lie arrived that morning.
Great Match Likely
There are those who figure that Barnes
and Hagen may prove too strong a COM
bination for the amateurs. but just at
present both Evans and Marston are
going at a very fine clip and there is nc
doubt that they will give u splendid ac-
count of themselves. Merton offers a fine
test of golf and the players who COM
peted in the amateur We're unanimous in
saying tina the course was the best ever
offered in this country fer a champion
ship.
