What in Place of Eggs?

When eggs behave as il they were
already. wal lgrown chic',crs, taking
wings and flying out Of sight of the
average purse. the wise AMI eonscien-
tious housewife will ignore them: use
something else, or get along witnout
eggs.
While We are warned that to omit
and eggs n milk from the diet OF
children is dangerous to their health
and growth. children will rot suffer IL.
during the comparatively 3hor. period
of high egg prices. care is taken 20
feed them extra amounts of milk, ce-
reals and vegetables to make up for
nutrients usually supplied by eggs
In the matter of cooking. there are
several ways of managing without
eggs. There are a great number Of
egg substitutes and egg powders on
the market ~purporting 10 perfectly re-

ministration warns housewives that

may be safely and properly used with
economy and convenience in baking,
In custards. salad dressings, cereal
puddings and such foods.
When eggs and egg substitutes are
omitted entirely in baking, some good
cooks have discovered that. in max

and an extra teaspoonful Of baking
powder is added for each egg omitted,

While housewives are doing their
individual best TO set sions without
Eggs or to substitute other foods for
the usual eye supply. they should not
neglect TO take active steps TO stop
the excessive charges made during
winter months for this important
food. Women's clubs and neighbour
hood groups should unite in protest
to local and city grocers and produce
merchants.
Food administration experts have
set seven cents proht per dozen as a
fair profit for merchants. Prices
which allow more prohs than seven
cents are pr~oiteering.

SdUe What You Sbend

In these days when both meat and
money are needed the greatest care
should be taken to buy meat SPAR
ingly, n TO buy such cuts which are
lower in price than choice pieces yet
furnish the much desired meat flavor
and almost equal nourishment.
In marketing for meat forget
roasts, steaks, chops and think of
liver, heart, tripe, tongue, kidneys,
brains, ox-tails, spare ribs and soup
bones. All these cuts OF meats may
be looked in many delicious ways
that add greatly to the flavor and
substance OF vegetables and cereal
meals.
When buying veal (Which should
not be often) try the cuts from tho
shoulder for stufiing. the neck cuts
for veal loaf II stcws; and even
calves head and feet for stewing and
serving with vegetables.
Mutton cuts from the neck and
shoulder are cheapest and best for
stews. One pound cooked with car
rots. potatoes and onions makes a
substantial one-dish meal and it is
not expensive.
Fresh pork is in season from Octo-
Der to April. When fresh and good
for food the uncooked meat is firm
and smooth. Cook all pork cuts long
err than otheF meat and use more
herbs for seasoning. Shoulder cuts
and spare ribs are good for roasting.
Pork livers n kidneys are as desir-
able for cooking as those from beef.
In meals where only n small
amount OF solid meat is served and
the meat flavor is added to vegetables
or cereals these should be of the most

HOUSE WIFE HINTS

AS no good business man would

should be content without a "prepar-

1t is a good plan to make a list Of
the foods kept on the preparedness
shelf and keep it where it can be read
quickly If needed. When one article
of food is used be sure TO replace it
with the next grocery order-so that
Mother Hubbard may have no imita-
tors.
Housewives who have the prepared
ness shelf habit suggest the following
list of foods:
Canned soups, several varieties and
several cans, small cans Of condensed
milk and cream, jars OF cheese, two or

NicSmcsisnl

The first public announcement Of
the principles OF mesmerism, the
%forerunner OF modern %hypnotism or
suggestion, was made on this date IN
1866 by Frederick Anthony Mesmer,
n German physician. He commended,
in n thesis on planetary influence
that the heavenly bodies ditfused
through the universe a subtle fluid
which acts on the nervous systems of
animated beings. In 177S Mesmer
settled in Paris, where he gained many
adherents for his system and made
much money by exhibitions of his
"mesmeric" powers. A committee of
physicians and philosophers investi-
gated his ~pretensions, and Ballly. IN
1854 denounced mesmerism or animal
MAGNETISM as a fraud. In 1913 mcs-
merism again excited attention, and
many prominent people announced
their belief in it. About the same
time hypnotism had Its origin. II
was shown that the so-ealled mes
or hypnotic trabce was due to
mental suggestion and not to any
Subtle fluid" nor animal magnetism.
