EGGS VALUABLE
AS SPRING TONIC

Eggs are an excellent spring tonic,
and every wise housewife should
plan to use an abundance of them,
according to Leila Wall Hunt, head
of foods and nutrition at Washing
ton State College.
Egg yolks are a very effective
source of iron. They also contain
calcium and phosphorus which is
needed to build bones, teeth and
tissues. The white Of an egg is al
most pure protein. Eggs also are
rich in vitamirs A, B, D and c.,
which are needed to promote health
and proper development.
With an abundant supply of eggs
at a very reasonable price it is not
only good economy but wise nutri-
ton to use plenty of them in the
family dietary, says Miss Hunt.
