The shore had never looked so

drank ice cream sodas, the combi-
nation being enough to kill two less

and they sat on the crowded beach
and talked.
1t was nearly time for dinner
when 1t happened. A child ran
away from its mother and made for
the ocean, its white dress billowing
out as big wave caught the little
body, and carried it out. There was
a moment of Mortified silence; then
Bat was on his feet and diving into
the next wave, swimming with all
his strength to the spot where he

out OF which all living organisms
are formed. The nucleus contains
certain miscropic bodies called
chromosomes, which differ accord
ing to the species OF animal to
which they belong. The number
and the quality of the chromosomes
in any cell appear to be character
istic Of the particular species of
animal to. which that cell apper-
tains. Thus the chromosomes may
be regarded as the bearers Of the
peculiar characters that are trans
mitted by heredity from generation
to generation
All the cells alike are built up
OF chemical elements derived from
soil, air and water in the shape of
food. But the special animal form
that grows up through the absorb
ton and distribution Of the nutri-
ment depends upon the character
of the chromosomes concerned.
Thus the same kind Of food may
nourish and develop different spe-

EGGS IN THE
DIET
BY Loretto c. Lynch
IAN Acknowledged Expert in All
Matters Appertaining to House.

" HERE Is nothing perhaps
more sustaining for breakfast
on the colder mornings than
eggs in some form. The attractive
ness and digestibility of eggs de-
pend quite as much upon their
preparation for the table as upon
the quality Of the egg itself. 1t
must be remembered that the more
nearly raw an egg is the easier 1t
is to digest.
A physician will order a raw egg
beat up with milk for the invalid
rather than the hard boiled egg.
An egg cooked for some time at a
high temperature is quite as thor:
oughly digested in the end as is
raw or nearly raw egg, but Il
takes the digestive organs q, very
much longer time and much greater
effort to digest the cooked egg
than the raw.
The soft cooked egg may be pre-
pared by placing the egg In a small
saucepan with, sufficient cold water
to cover. The water Il then brought
to the boiling point. Just as soon
as the water reaches the boiling
point the egg should be removed.
The egg may be scooped from the
shell with a teaspoon and carefully
placed on q triangle of toast. gar
nished with a sprig Of parsley.
Folks who do not care for
eggs served in any other manner
will often like them when properly
scrambled! For one serving allow
two fresh eggs: Break each into
a cup to be sure of its freshness
before combining 1t with the other
in the mixing bowl. With a few
strokes OF silver fork mingle the
yoke and the white. Melt a bit, OF
butter in the top OF a double boiler.
Pour in the slightly beaten eggs.
When the egg mixture begins to
harden slightly add a dash Of salt
and pepper and scramble, using the
silver fork. Remove and serve on
a warm plate. Garnish with small
toast points and bits of parsley.
Slices Of crisp bacon may be serv-
ed with this dish. .:..
Bits Of leftover cold-boiled ham
or a spoonful of grated cheese or
some dried sliced smoked beef may
dish.
The onelet Is one method by
which one may use up even, tiny
bits of leftover cooked food. A good
cook always keeps one special pan
for omelets. Cooking other foods on
the omelet pan tends to roughen II
and makes the omelet stick. Mix
the eggs with q silver fork in q
mixing bowl, add salt and pepper
and tablespoon OF water or milk.
This liquid turns into steam when
the mixture lis heated and tepds to
make Il light and puffy. ,<J ~.
Melt the fat or heat the oil on
the omelet pan. Pour the mixture
In and let II stand for a moment.
As the egg coagulates, lift the
cooked part with a spatula and tilt
the pan 80 that the raw part comes
in contact with the heated metal.
