Dried Eggs.

The high cost Of eggs in England
has led to the birth Of quite new big
business in dried eggs and eggs in So
luton. One large firm selling dried
eggs has undertaken an extensive ad-
vertising campaign to push these eggs
upon the attention Of retailers, who in
their turn are being enabled by other
advertising matter to attract their Gus
toners to the goods.
The dried eggs which they advertise
are entirely soluble and take up the
water like lump Of sugar and thus
give the perfect creamy liquid of a
beaten shell egg ready for instant use
on mixing. Dried eggs are no longer
to be regarded as war food; they have
come to stay. This firm predicts that
in the near future the properly dried
eggs will have become one of the very
largest used and most important of our
foods.

But what would you say of the
old man who put in as much crop this

suGARLESS SWEETS.

There have been enquiries made by
June garden party conveners for candy
that will not use up our sugar supply.
Here are two recipes by which sweet
tooth may be INDUCED without further
diminishing the white sugar.
Bittersweets.-An attractive variety
of candies may be made by dipping
sweet fruits in bitter chocolate. Uae
for this purpose dates, citron, candied
Orange peel or home preserved fruits.
Drained, sprinkled with very little
sugar and dried in a slow oven. Melt
unsweetened chocolate in a double
boiler. Keep the chocolate just warm
enough to prevent solidifying. With
q silver fork drop pieces of fruit into
the chocolate. See that each piece is
completely coated, then remove to
waxed paper to harden.
MoIasses candy.-Boil down molas-
ses until 1t reaches the hard crack
stage. Pour on oiled plates and cool.
Oil the hands and pull portions of the
candy until 1t becomes light colored.

and She WONDERED
Mrs. Billtops Really Doubted
Scales Accuracy.
Seemed q Singular Thing Until Elk.
! PLANTATION Dawned on the Pair
Who Were Going Through the
Regular Program.

1--WE keep" said Mr.. Billtops, "a
record of Mrs, Billtop's weight. There
is a drug store in our neighborhood
which we pass in our daily walks
where they have nice beam scale,
and about once in ten days or two
weeks we stop in there and weigh Mrs.
Billtops; and then, when we get
home, set the weight down In the
record.
1.-THE greatest difference between any
two weights taken so far this year is
two pounds; while the difference be-
tween the first weight and the one just
taken is only three-eighths Of pound.
So you can see her weight Is running
very true.
ut might seem that all this was
rather a humdrum commonplace per-
Torrance to go through, but really
there's a good deal Of variety to 1t.
-"For instance, in winter, when she
is wearing a heavy cloak, we weigh
Mrs. Billtops with that cloak on. Thus
the first weight we get Is the gross
weight, and then from that we have
to deduct the tare, this being the
weight of the cloak as previously as
certained at home, to arrive at the net,
which is what we set down in the rec
ord.
$50 you see 1t is not all quite SO
simple as 1t seems; and this spring,
when Mrs. Billtops put on for the first
time her lighter-weight spring coat,
we ran into a regular incident.
"After weighing her, as usual, with
her coat on, we remembered that we
had forgotten to weigh this coat be-
fore starting out, but this was light
coat that could be easily removed and
handled, and so now Mrs. Billtops
removed her coat and we weighed her
with the coat off. But do you know,
she weighed precisely the same with
her coat off as she did with it on!
"Mrs. Billtops and looked at each
other in mild amazement; but then at
the same moment we both made the
same discovery. Still standing on the
scale Mrs. Billtops was holding the
coat she had just removed
II am not sure that Mrs. BilltOps Is
quite as much interested in all this
weighing business as am, but we
both laughed at that; AND really I
should say that taking everything to-
gether we get a let Of fun out Of weigh
ing Mrs. Billtops. York Times.

The Simple Lifers.

Every sensible man and woman to-
day is simple lifer. There are SO
many things which are difficult to get,
so many controllers are hemming us
in with prohibitions that we are max
ing our lives simpler and more simple
every day. Curiously enough, the large
majority Of us are feeling all the bet
her for 1t. We walk where we once
lmotored, and the exercise sets the
! stagnant blood In our veins running
with fresh vigor. We eat less and d.
gest more. So little have we felt the
deprivation that most Of US are de-
claring that for the future it Is to be
the Simple life forever" There are,
of course, some who struggle in their
absurd vanity to keep the old life alive.
Their time Is mainly spent in evading
the orders of the food controller, or in
discovering new sources of extrava-
gance. Some day they will realize
their mistake and join the happy army
of "simple lifers." You cannot have
your cake and eat it. Our cake today
is victory in the great war for free

be ours If we deny ourselves all the
other cakes we once loved so much.
