Making the Most OF Few Eggs.
This is not the season when eggs
are the cheapest, but there is no sea-
son when eggs are not important, es-
pecially if the family supplies are low
in other foods Even the family with
the smallest food budget should try to
get few eggs every week for the
children, says the Bureau of Home
Economics of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture The bureau suggesting
low-cost weekly market list for a
family of five, allows eggs apiece
for 3 children, and more for father
and mother, as minimum A very
limited supply, this-so limited that
it may be we'll to see how much can
be done with the fewest number of
eggs in week. The point is, of course,
to make the most of the food value
of the eggs, and at the same time get
the full benefit of their fine cooking
qualities.
One egg may very well go into
spoon corn bread for one day in the
week. Or into oatmeal mullins, or
graham, or plain wheat mullins. With
another we can make French toast for
breakfast one day, or corn fritters for
supper. One egg is enough to make
cottage pudding, or pumpkin pie, or
gingerbread, or chocolate drop cookies,
or peanut butter cup cakes, or instead
of cottage pudding, a plain one-egg
cake to be served hot. With 3 eggs
we can make an omelet with a little
Clipped beef, or salt pork, or bacon,
or ham. Or we can make a spinach
souffie or a rice omelet. That will
use all three eggs at once. Or 3
eggs, hard-cooked, sliced and creamed
with plenty of cream sauce, could be
made enough for a meal for four.
Corn Fritters
IA cups sifted soft-wheat flour, 2
teaspoons baking powder, q teaspoon
salt, l cup liquid, either juice from
canned corn or milk, or the two mixed,
l egg, l cup drained canned corn, l
tablespoon melted fat.
Mix the flour, baking powder, and
/ salt. Mix the juice from the canned
corn, or milk, or whatever liquid is
used, the egg after it has been beaten
| slightly, and the canned corn. Stir
this liquid mixture gradually into the
dry ingredients. Add the melted fat.
If the corn is very moist, even after
the liquid has been drained from it,
more flour may be needed. Dried
corn which has been soaked and
cooked until tender may also be used.
Fry the corn fritters in deep fat or,
if preferred, in skillet in shallow fat.
In either case drop the mixture by
spoonfuls into the fat and fry rather
slowly. The fritters need time to cook
through to the center before the out
side becomes too brown. Drain the
fritters on absorbent paper and serve
hot
Peanut Butter Cup Cakes
2 tablespoons butter or other fat, 2
tablespoons peanut butter, Y cup SUI
gar, l egg, ~ cups sifted flour, a
teaspoon salt, 21a teaspoons baking
powder, u cup milk
Cream the butter or other fat and
peanut butter, add sugar gradually,
and egg well beaten. Mix and sift
-four, salt, and baking powder, and
add alternately with milk to first mix

A FRIENDLY EXPRESSION

Expressive of the friendly thought
of Alaskans toward those of the old
Pioneers who are spending their
last days in the Pioneers Home at
Sltka, is the gift of pocket money
Tor each inmate which has been sent
for the past several years, at the
instance of w. D. Gross, owner Of
the Coliseum Theatres in Alaska.
Mr.. Gross initiated the movement
and has kept it alive each succeed
ing year. The communities in which
theaters are located have gladly re-
sponded to the call for contributions
to the fund.
have all necessities and many little
Injuries provided by the Territory
but they have no money in their
pockets to spend as they please. This
gift coming each Christmas time is
eagerly awaited by the men. Some
cling to their money for months for
the sheer joy of having money in
their pockets once more; others
spend the entire sum on gifts for
others while some of the men, it is
said. use the money most unwisely.
Nevertheless, each has the joy of
spending his money and that pleas
ure is particularly keen for men
who all their lives were Independent
asking odds of no one.
When men who have spent the
best years of their life in the de-
velopment of new country, come
through the infirmities of age, to
the point where they can no longer
