WHILE EGGS
E MONEY

Eggs now range IN price from sixty
to ninety cents a dozen in different
parts of the country-hence they are
taboo except for absolutely necessary
cooking.
But eggs ave always been the
standby of the housewife who liked
delicate and nourishing desserts and
she mourns for their passing into the
too expensive" class. But good des-
serts can DO made entirely without
eggs. as the following recipes prove:
Eggiess Chocolate Puddhg-In G
double boiler bring a quart OF milk
to the boiling point. Mix five table,
spoonfuls of cornstarch to a paste
with a little cold milk. add u tea
spoonful OF salt. and add x cupful
OF and five tablespoonfuls OF
cocoa or grated chocolate. Rub the
mixture smooth nj stir into the boil
ing milk. Allow to cook for five min
utes. Pour into wet molds and chill.
Serve with whipped cream or thin
custard.
Eggless Peach Tapioca-Drain a
can OF peaches n sprinkle well with
powdered sugar. Let stand IN hour
Add enough boiling water to the
peach juice to make three cupfuls
and stir into the hot juice / cupful of
minute tapioca. II cupful OF sugar.
and y teaspoonful of salt. Cook if-
teen minutes in a double boiler. Linz
a mold with the halved peaches. Fill
up with tapioca and bake half an
hour in moderate oven. Cool and
serve with whipped cream.

Let the housewife who Is harassed
with big meat bills n haunted by
the high cost of living talk with any
food expert, or any domestic economy
exper and she will receive this bit OF
advice-"cut your expenses oy re-
ducing meat bills"
Most housewives. If questioned,
must admit that meat is absorbing toe
much of the honey allotted to food
expenditures. Try as they will, they
can not keep the butchers bill within
reasonable limits.
All meat is expensive. When the
demand for cheaper cuts" become
HEAVY. as IL lid during the war. the
s'chSaper' soon vanish from all cuts.
Ham, bacon, veal and even mutton are
beyond reach OF modest purses.
The specialists OF the food admin
Astration have evolved a simple rule
by which even the inexperienced food
buyer may obtain a well-balanced diet
at reduced cost. The rule Is to spend
no more for meat than is spent for
fruit and egetables, and no more for
either than is spent for milk and but
ter. BY keeping these three food fun
damentals about equal. h total cost
is reduced and a normal diet assured.
We can dispense with the old idea
that meat is essential to health ana
strength. Scientific experiment proves
that more diseases are due 90 too
much meat than too little. Vegetar-
fans have successfully proved that we
can live and be well without any ineat
whatever. But because meat is the
best source of easily digested proteins
among all foods it is probable that It's

DIR. Certeis couldn't agree with
