volume his ideas on the influence

pages which gives comprehensive

Making the
Most of Eggs
BY Loretto G. Lynch.

WITH eggs as costly as they
w are, every housewife should
know just how to cook them
so that they neither be set aside at
table or be difficult OF digestion or
unattractive to look upon.
Tho most important foodstufr in
eggs Is albumen. a sticky substance
egg contains water. also, and con-
siderable fat in tho oil in tho yolks.
Eggs lack carbohydrates-that Is.
starch or sugar. Carbohydrates
give strength to do work. Because
eggs lack this strength giving
element. we serve them with some
carbohydrate food in attempting to
make a balanced meal
or themselves, eggs build the tls-
sues of the body and repair those
that are worn out.
Ono of tho simple ways OF pre-
pairing eggs Is by soft coking
them. This style eggs Ia digested
moro quickly than an egg that Is
boiled only three minutes. To pre-
pare soft cooke ed eggs, for two eggs
allow ono pint OF water, for each
additional egg three-fourths of
cup OF water additional. Bring the
water to a boil In a small saucse-
pan. Tho csusepan should be so
shaped that this quantity of wafer
will cover them. Lower the eggs
on q spoon into the boiling water
and remove tho causepan at once
from the f,re and let It stand COW
cred ten minutes. These eggs VIII
be found to be evenly cooked
throughout and neither too soft nor
too hard.
Eggs bottled for three minutes
kavs cosgulated white. while the
yoils is quite raw, Eggs soft cook
ed are coagulated evenly through
out. These may be broken into an
egg cup before serving or they may
be carefully removed from the shell
and dropped on toast,
Then for scrambled eggs, What
mistakes are served in the name Of
scrambled eggs, Yet, properly
made they are delicious. Break
two eggs into a bowl. Beat slight
ly with a silver fork. Add one ta-
biespoonfui OF milk and a little salt
and pepper. Melt a bit of butter in
the top of a double boiler. Pour in
the egg mixture and stir with the
fork until the mixture coagulates to
the desired consistency. The wa
ter IN tho bottom OF the boiler
should be at the boiling point when
the egg mixture is poured into the
Sop of the boiler.
A very attractive way OF serving
scrambled eggs is with toast
points. Arrange the scrambled egg
I'm tho center of warm saucer or
plate. Place small triangles of toast
around the edge of tho egg 10 form
a star. In between each two toast
points place tiny Leaf or curly
