TOURS. July 10, 1913.
Hotel dePUnivers. 8 q. m.
IN EAR MARCUS:
We are all packed to go TO
Nantes. to give an entertain
ment this evening at the Y, M. c. A..
hall and another at the hospital to-
morrow. Then we go on the Saint
Nazaire--3 hours more-and give
q series OF entertainments until the
2Ist. when We return here.
In order to go even few miles

rigmarole to go through-silly
papers and permissions. They have

army headquarters. far away
long distance-snd walt for permits

they forget to telephone you 1t Is
given and you send a courier, and
then you go yourself.
Mrs. Randall went yesterday a.
m. and found my permission made
out-but none for her. They sent
her back to have me make out an
other request and again telephoned
headquarters, and we never knew
sure we could go till 6:3O last
night. We were billed at Nantes

Household
Suggestions

To keep oranges fresh they should
be spread on shelves or racks, so
that the juicy globes do not touch.
The fruit should be gone over
weekly and the softest put to use.
Russet apples will not shrivel all
the winter IL kept in dry, cool
place, packed in sand. Apples
wrapped in tissue paper and spread
on light racks hung from the beams
in the cellar will keep till the last
one is eaten.
when stewing meat do not sea-
son with salt until cooked, and you
will md that the meat is much
more tender.
To remove paint from clothes,
saturate the spot two or three
times with equal parts of am
monia and turpentine, and then
wash out in soapy suds.
To make lime water, put the un-
slaked lime into tub. cover II
with pure water: stir often for one
day, then allow to settle, and strain
of and bottle the water.
Widowed stains on linen may be
removed by rubbing soap on the
spot, then a little chalk and lemon
juice, and put the garment out in
the sun for few hours.

Saving Money! theHome;
Tricks For Women
in Household Economics

u uANY houseksepers know IL Is
W possible. when eggs are lack
N~ ing. 10 use other foods which
will give something the same APP
peArance as eggs. Flour or starch
may be used 10 thicken custards or
gelatin used in making an icing OF
q pudding. The dish may be ac-
ceptAbls, but the food value Is not
the same as IL eggs were used.
There are a number OF CONNER
eial products designed as egg SUB
stitutes, some OF which approach
eggs In composition much more
nearly than others. or these prod
ucts, some are fairly well known to
housekeepers while others are used
chiefly in commercial baking and
for similar purposes. The various
kinds differ much In composition,
some being much more like eggs In
protein content and energy value
than othrs. In judging such
products one should not rely upon
appearance. Yellow color does not
necessarily indicate other egg yolk
characteristics. Some of these egg
substitutes, at least, are manufac-
tured from skim milk and are said
to contain milk casein and albumin
mixed with a little flour. Such a
product is evidently rich in protein.
other egg substitutes 'have been
devised which consist of mixtures
OF animal or vegetable fats, albu-
min, and starch or flour.
!. Goods have also been mark eted
for use as egg substitutes which
contain little or no albumin but
, which are apparently made up quite
largely OF starch, colored. more or
less with some yellow substance.
They are COMMONLY advertised for
making custards and buildings sim
liar in appearance to those in which
fresh eggs are used. If the house
keeper wishes to use them she
should not overlook the fact that
in the diet they can not replace
fresh eggs, since they do not con-
tain the same kind or quantity of
heterogeneous matter OF fat. This
may be an important matter, partic-
ularly IL such an egg substitute is
used in the diet of invalids or chill
dren in the belief that 1t contains
the Same nutriments as eggs.

Better Cooking ReAsees High Csst
OF LiviaE. .

II 10 commonly remarked by those
who study the living conditions of
people of limited means in differ
ent parts OF this country that. for
substantial Improvement of their
household economics, housewives
must be informed as to the high
nutritive value of the cheaper foods
as compared with the costlier kinds,
and the methods of cooking must be
improved.
A great deal OF fuel is wasted in
the preparation of food and even
than a great deal of food 10 badly
cooked. To replace dear food badly
cooked by cheaper food well cooked
is important for both health and
purse. To make the table more at
