EASTER EGGS

Easter has made us all egg con-
sciOus. This was a good year for
egg rolling parties and cOlOred eggs
because of the very low cost of eggs.
The egg producers loss is the
housewives gain. Not only at Eas-
ter. but as long as these low prices
last. eggs should be used with espe-
cial liberality.
Eggs are a very valuable food.
Like milk, nature designed them to
furnish the food for a growing ami
NAL.
One dozen eggs provides about the
same bone building protein as one
pound of meat. Besides this protein
eggs furnish more iron than most
meats and far more vitamins A and
d Sc these new low prices really
makes them a bargain.
A wise buyer can tell something
about the quality of eggs by the ap-
peaTance OF the she'll. Eggs which
have a dull appearance still retain
the bloom which is a coat protect
ing the inside egg. This coat may be
washed or rubbed off and then the
egg loses moisture and freshness
more quickly.
A firm white is one of the hest in
dicatiOns of egg quality. Yolk color
is a matter of individual preference.
The air sac at the top of the egg
should be small.
Eggs should be cooled immedi-
ately after collection. Temperatures
between 40o and 60 F. are the best
for keeping a fresh quality.
Dirty eggs are apt to be of flavor
because OdOrs may be absorbed
through the shell. Eggs should be
by rubbing with a damp
CLOTH They should not be washed
as this removes the protective
bloom"
There are so many uses of eggs
that it is difficult to begin naming
them. Cakes, cookies, puddings.
for pies. custards. sand
wiehes, salads devilled eggs. the
eggnoggs are all ways of using more
eggs. Then of course they may al
ways be served boiled. poached.
fried. or in omelets.
The secret of all egg cooking is an
rven moderate heat Fast cooking
causes them to become tough and is
responsible for watery custards and
weepy" scrambled eggs.
Eggs which have been stored in
he refrigerator will not beat well !
lntil they reach room temperature. !
NutritiOnists recommend an egg |
lay for a good diet With eggs at !
heir present low price. many fam !
lies will be able to increase their
lse of this valuable food
