The merchandise is of good quality

EGG COOKERY.

Now that eggs are the most plenti-
full and therefore, the most reasonable
of the entire year the wise housckecp-
er will substitute them for other pro-
teins.
The yoI,i of the egg is notably rich
in iron and ijhCsphcrous, so the chill
dren of the household should be taught
to eat it. For some strange reason
they often dislike it, but by clever
tactics that dislike can be overcome.
1t was once the custom to give in
valids raw eggs, but recent expert,
mentS have proven that only about 30
per cent of the raw egg white is di
gested. while if slightly coagulatcd 4
much higher percentage is assimilated.
TO SOFT COOK EGGS.
Since intense heat toughcns all
protein it is not reasonable to boil
eggs, as is the American custom. Boil
ing makes the whites tough and leath-
cry and leaves the yolks barely cooked
at all.
To soft cook eggs allow one pint
of boiling water to each egg. Drop
in the eggs and let stand in a warm
place out of draughts and covered fol
