Eggs Cooked SloOly Are
Valuable for Children

Eggs contain protein of a particu-
larly valuable kind for building the
bodies of children as well as chicks.
The chick gradually absorbs the al
most pure protein of the egg white
as he develops within the shell Chill
dren, however, make the best use of
egg protein when 1t is slightly cooked,
believes the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture. Protein is very
sensitive to heat. If cooked rapidly
at high temperature it becomes tough
and hard Even If an egg Is soft
boiled, that Is, cooked In boiling wa
ter for three minutes, the white near
est the shell becomes hard, while the
rest of 1t remains 'runny" and the
yolk is practically raw. The coddled
egg, which is dropped into a vessel
of water just under the boiling point,
covered, and removed from the heat
and allowed to cook slowly for about
eight minutes, has tender, jelly-like
white and soft but sufficiently
cooked yolk. Scientists who have
studied this question, however, found
that not only are eggs more appetiz-
ing when cooked slowly in this way,
but they are actually more readily
and completely digested.

Using Rice Instead of
Potatoes Is All Right

Rice and potatoes are not exactly
the same in food value, even though
they are both rich in starch. Pota-
toes contain some minerals and vita
mines in addition to the starch. Milled
rice Is entirely lacking in these. II
there are plenty of fruits and vege-
tables in the daily meals, however,
using rice instead of potatoes makes
little difference in nutrition. The
needed minerals and vitamnes are
supplied by the vegetables and fruits.
If the diet is so limited that potatoes
are one Of the few vegetables served,
the situation is different. Then care
must be taken to provide some foods
that contain the substances lacking
in the rice, the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture points out
Sweet potatoes, rice boiled so that
1t is dry and fiaky, hominy either
whole or In grits, macaroni which Is
made from wheat, and dasheens are
other Amerlcan-grown starchy foods
that can be added to the menu in
place Of potatoes. 1t so happens that
this year when the potato crop was
light, the corn crop was unusually
heavy. Using corn products now will
help In evening things up for the
farmer.

Early Peoples Passed Up Delicious CLAIMS

DR.. Edward s. Morse of Salem, who
spent 45 years sorting over the shell
heaps that are found along the New
England shore, found them composed
largely OF oysters and clans. But
when he went to Europe to consult
with Professor Steenstrup, the Danish
expert on European shell heaps, he
was amazed Ia learn that no clam
shells were found among the oysters,
says Edwin L. Slosson, director OF
science service, writing in Golfers
Magazine.
Although clans abounded In the
Baltic the prehistoric people never ate
them 1t was the same in England ;
the clam had never been eaten, even
in ancient times. Ws learned the

his little sharp pointed head with its
beady red eyes could slip easily
through a hole an inch in diameter.
For several centuries Sekoosew had
helped to make history. 1t was he
when his pelt was worth a hundred
dollars in Kings gold-that lured the
first shipload OF gentlemen adventur-
ers over the sea, with Prince Rupert
at their head; 1t was little Sekoosew
who was responsible for the forming
Of the great Hudson's Bay company
and the discovery of half a continent; !;
for almost three centuries he had
fought his fight for existence with the
trapper. And now, though he was no
longer worth his weight in yellow gold,
he was the cleverest, the flercest, and
the most merciless of all the creatures
that made up his world
AS Baree lay under the tree, Sekoo-
sew was creeping on his prey. His
game was big fat spruce-hen stand
ing under thicket of black currant
bushes. He was like shadow-a
gray dot here, flash there, now hid
den behind a stick no larger than a
mans wrist, appearing for moment,
the next instant gone as quickly as If
he had not existed. Thus he ap-
preached from fifty feet to within
three feet of the spruce-hen. That
was his favorite striking distance
Unerringly he launched himself at the
drowsy partridge's throat, and his
needle-like teeth sank through feathers
into flesh.
Sekoosew was prepared for what
happened then. 1t always happened
when he attacked Napanao, the wood
partridge. Her wings were powerful,
and her first instinct when he struck
Washington telegraph., 1926-07-02

was always that of flight. She rose
straight up now with a great thunder
of wings. Sekoosew hung tight, his
teeth buried deep in her throat, and
his tiny, sharp claws clinging to her
like hands. Through the air he
whizzed with her, biting deeper and
deeper, until a hundred yards from
where that terrible death thing had
fastened to her throat, Napanao
crashed again to earth.
Where she fell was not ten feet
from Baree. For a few moments he
looked at the struggling mass of feath-
ers In a daze, not quite comprehendlng
that at last food was almost within
his reach. Napanao was dying, but
she still struggled convulslvely with
her wings. Baree rose stealthily, and
after moment in which he gathered
all his remaining strength, he made a
rush for her. His teeth sank into her
breast-and not until then did he see
Sekoosew. The ermine had raised his
head from the death-grip at the part
ridges throat, and his savage little red
eyes glared for a single instant into

Important Fat Substance

Fats are the most concentrated fuel
foods In the diet, and from the COM
mercial standpoint fat is the most i'm
portant substance in milk, since 1t Is
the source Of butter and Is an impor-
tant constituent Of many kinds Of
cheese. The fat OF milk, known also
as butterfat, is in the form of small
globules varying in size in the differ
emf kinds of milk, and, being lighter
than water, these globules tend to rise
TO the top Of the milk as 1t stands,
thus forming cream.

What Foods Are Best to
Correct CONSTIPATION

Dietitians are frequently asked
what foods are best to correct con-
stipation. This is difficult question
to answer briefly except along very
general lines. In general, fruits and
vegetables, and whole-graln products
are valuable for this on account of the
cellulose present, states the United
States Department of Agriculture
The aim in correcting constipation is
to get residue with sufficient bulk
to stimulate the lntestlnes and also
to have one which holds water. Gel
iulose Is very lncompletely digested
and tends to hold water. A physician
should be consulted In any long stand.

Have you tried mock duck? When 1t
comes to the table, 1t looks like
duck-a neat Drowned roll, dressed
with bit of parsley-but It's really
a flank steak. This, of course, is one
of the least expensive cuts of beef,

table today will 60 a little further
than usual. A flank steak is almost
the only piece of beef which has no
bone, the United States Department

Is little fat or other waste on it, two
pounds will be enough for the average
family. Be sure the butcher does not
score 1t. Scoring, or cutting the sur
face, merely let's most Of the delicious
meat juices escape into. the pan, and
the result is dry and tasteless dish.
The flank steak is to be stuffed and
rolled, then braised in covered
roasting pan, and served with plenty
of gravy.
Ingredients for Stuffing.
Make stuffing of the following in
gradients:
~ cups of stale small onion
bread (soaked in (minced)
warm water and a cup finely
squeezed out un- chopped fat
til IL is just either beef suet
moist or salt pork
l tsp. salt Il tsp. pepper
u cup of celery
Mix these well and spread the

that when cut for serving you will
cut through the grain. Fasten 1t with
butchers skewers or tie it with clean
string. Roll the outside of the "mock
duck" In flour, then scar the surface
in small amount of fat In a baking
pan. Add more flour If necessary, so
as to have enough for brown gravy.
When the meat is thoroughly scared

should require about IL hours Add
more water If necessary when making
your gravy When the meat is done,
mix two tablespoonfuls of fat with an
equal amount Of flour, add the liquor
from the meat pan and enough water,
which may be that which you have
drained from the potatoes, to make
as much gravy as you need If the
steak had fat on It there may be
enough fat and also flour in the pan to
make the gravy without adding any
other.
