SHIRRED EGGS ALWAYS GOOD
Combinations With Bread Crumbs,

Delicious Dishes.

Combinations of eggs with bread

over the eggs and rice and bake in

eggs are set.
To make the cheese sauce: Melt
one tablespoonful of butter and stir

SERVE EGGS WITH TOMATOES
Attractive Way Is Suggested by De-
partment of Agricuiture-Eggs
Cooked In Cups.

When fresh tomatoes are in season
an attractive way of serving eggs is
to cook them in tomato cups, suggests
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Select the desired number of good
sized tomatoes allowing one to each
person. Cut off the blossom end,
scoop out the seeds and stand the to-
matoes in baking pan in the oven
until they are partly cooked. Put
one-half teaspoonful of butter and a
busting of salt and pepper into the
bottom of each and break in one egg
Place in the oven until the eggs are
"set" to the desired hardness. Have
ready round of toasted bread well
buttered, and place each tomato in the
center of a round Of toast, serve hot.

Dietitians differ as to the amount
Of calories needed daily by the adult
To take the most conservative the
amount ranges from twenty-five hun
dred to thirty-seven hundred. An In
active woman will need the minimum,
an active out-of-door man will take
thirty-seven hundred and more. We
will accept these figures just as we do
the amount of material needed to
make dress or suit the amount varies
with the size of the individual. II
is unnecessary for the average person
to accurately weigh his food; we may
learn few standard calories or meas
urements and very quickly learn to
gauge the amount one should eat by
training the eye.
A calorie is the amount of heat pro-
duced when food is used or burned
by the body. 1t is a measure-an
inch, pint or any simple kind OF
measure. Just as the trained fireman
knows just how much a given amount
of coal will produce in heat or steam
pressure, so our bodies, being engines.
will give off heat and energy meas
ured by calories. A calorie measure
of heat will raise a pound of water
four degrees F. or lift one ton of
weight one and one-half feet.
One large popover, three-fourths of
muffin, cornbread two by two inches,
slice of Boston brown bread three
fourths of an inch thick, two small
baking powder biscuits, two slices of
bread or toast, all one hundred cal
ories.
If we are to eat three thousand cal
ories daily we distribute them over
the three meals. Usually the break
fast is the lightest, meal with most
people. One large orange, one large
banana, baked apple without sugar
all are one hundred calories.
From the above list one may choose
n breakfast giving eight hundred to
thousand calories.
In considering the amount of food
needed for the body we must remem-
Der to lay by a surplus for fighting
disease, as reserve and resistance of
the body to sudden attacks is very
important. A system weakened
through underfeeding If attacked by
typhoid or pneumonia is almost sure
to succumb TO the disease.

sauce, using two tablespoonful each
of butter and flour, adding the flour
when the butter is bubbling hot; sea-
son with salt and pepper, add quart
of milk, the mushroom puree and
serve piping hot.
Cream of Celery Soup.-Take one
head of celery, three cupfuls of milk.
one cupful of whipped cream, three
tablespoonfuls each of butter and
flour, salt and pepper to taste. Chop
the celery very fine and put 1t into a
double boiler with two cupfuls of the
milk, and cook for twenty minutes.
Strain, return to the boiler and add
a cream sauce, using the flour, butter
and one cupful of milk. Add season
ings and stir in the cupful Of whipped
cream just at the last.
Salmon, Cream Soup.-Take one
half can of salmon, one quart of milk,
two tablespoonfuls of butter, three
tablespoonfuls of flour, pepper and
salt to taste. Drain the oil from the
can of salmon, put the fish with a cup
full of milk on the stove and let 1t
cook for few minutes, then rub
through a sieve. Make a sauce of the
remainder of the milk and the butter
and flour, add the salmon puree, stir
until smooth, thoroughly cooking the
flour. Serve with hot crackers.
Cream of Chicken and Caulflower.
To two quarts of chicken broth add
one cupful of boiled rice and one cup
full of boiled cauliflower which has
been put through a potato ricer. Sea-

adding a pint of rich milk; cook until
smooth. then add to the first mixture.
Serve with few flowerettes of the

French dressing may be spoiled by
the seasoning and mixing, mayonnaise
by curdling, adding the oil fast at
first
The ordinary proportions for French
dressing are one of acid to four of
oil. The acid may be vinegar and
water or lemon juice. The addition
of red pepper, sugar, salt, worcester
shire sauce, tabasco are all matter
of taste, but the blending is impor-
tant and is never omitted. Beat well
with Dover egg-beater until thick
emulsion is formed. Serve well
chilled and freshly beaten just before
serving.
For mayonnaise take one cupful of
oil. one egg yolk, half a teaspoonful
each of salt and mustard, two table
spoonfuls of vinegar. More oil may be
used, making sitter dressing, adding
more seasonings. The best way to
proceed is to add to the egg yolk the
vinegar and seasonings and beat one
minute; If a good emulsion is pro-
duced at the beginning no trouble will
be had by curdling later when the oil
Is added; now add two teaspoonfuls
of oil and beat one minute, repeat.
then add four teaspoonfuls of oil and
Oeat one minute, add two tablespoon
fuls and beat one minute, rest for
half a minute, then add three table
spoonfuls and beat one minute. re
peat. rest again for half a minute,
add the last of the oil, one-uuarter
cupful, and give two-minute beat

may be added toward the last of the
process, but be careful of too much
oil in the beginning.
