QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Raw Eggs.

hdN EKRss
Does raw egg increase strength
and vigor if taken with wine? Tx.
B. c.
Answer-Egg is wholesome food
when cooked. No more strength
ening or invigorating than bread
and butter or taters or other
wholesome foods. Taken raw it Is
less digestible and less nourtsh-
ing than when taken cooked. A
glass of wine gives the body less
strength and vigor than a glass or
milk. The mixture of wine and
raw egg is a leftover delusion of
the grand old days when be-whis-
kered and be-spectacled doctors
called alcoholic beverages "stimu-
lants" in bedside whisper that
lust suited Sairey Camp to I.

mediately after exposure battle
parts affected freely with soapy
water, and leave lather on the skin
for an hour or two. Frequent
bathing and rinsing is important,
to dilute and remove traces of the
irritant substance from the skin.

ton of heaping tablespoonful of

other dressing.
