PA'GE EIGH1 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1934. .Eggs, Oldest Food, Give Wide Variety of Dishes Bj Bureau of Home Economic!, V. Department of Agriculture It you have ever lived on a farm, ever raised chickens anywhere, or for that matter If you have merely vis ited your country cousins, you must have been Interested In the tribal namea of barnyard lowla. Think of half a dozen only, and you have traveled almost around the world, and glimpsed a thousand generations of the human race. Shanghai, Cochin China. Brahma, Leg-lorn, Dorking, Plymouth Rock all the way from the Orient and Malaysia to Europe, and thence to Amcrloa with our early colonists, came our chickens. And here they are bred and cross bred to perfect the quality of their meat and eggs. Hens' eggs, then, we are reminded by We Bureau of Home Economics of the U. a. Department of Agriculture, are one of the oldest foods In the world, as well as ono of the most Im portant, Almost evory nation has It typical way of using eggs. Many of those ways we see In the Chinese restaurant, the Italian, the French, Spanish, Swedish, Russian, or Mexican restauranta In our cities. Not ao often do we copy ttiese dishes i at home, but we might well do so, j for most of the other oountrles use: eggs In combinations which are nign ly nourishing and economical. ' . Take egg foo yeung, for Instance. An omelet, really, with bean sprouts or mixed vegtables, and a little shredded cold chicken, served with a thickened soybean sauce. Canned bean eproute, by the way, can be bought In many places, and fresh ones are always on the markets that are patronised by Chinese. Or pos sibly you sprout your own. In Italy, as you would expect, they serve egga cooked with spaghetti and tomatoes. Egga Milanese, au excel lent dish for a meatless day, are hard cooked eggs, sliced and spread over the top of ttie apaghettl and tomatoes. Again, with the Italian llklm for the green leafy vegetables, there are eees Florentine, -or, In other words, poached eggs on a bed of spinach, with grated eheeae on top of the eggs, lightly browned In the oven. And "stampr. dl splnacl," w,hlch la a mold of ti-Inach, eggs and cream sauce. t French cooks have the reputation of doing more with eggs than any other oooks. French omelets and French egg dishes of different sorts are far too numerous to mention. But, for one Instance, It Is egga that make French pancakes (orepea Su zettea) ao good the rich batter made with eggs and milk, spread very thin on the griddle. The pancake, when It la nicely browned. Is spread with Jelly, rolled, and dusted with pow dered sugar.. The typical French om elet Is a plain flat omelet, and It Is used In France as a sort of pocket for almost any other kind of food. An "omelette aux fines herbes" (fine cut herbs of aeveral kinds) la some thing to remember I So Is an "ome ' lette aux fralaes" (with strawberries) served as a . dessert, and you might also try an "omelette aux pommos" (wiV apples). The Spanish omelet we all know, with Its tomatoes, green peppers and onions, Then the souffle. To the plain auoffle may be added meat or fish or cheese, or vegetables, or frulta, mixed with a cream sauce. Salmon aouffle, made with our American canned salmon, Is one of the moat nutritious combinations that could he devised, because It contains milk and egg values plus the vitamin and mineral values of the salmon. But souffle must be cooked very slowly, with a low heat, or It will not atand up. . Many Swedish egg dtehea are made M a oustard. Chopped meat, flaked fish, or chopped vegetables are put In a baking dish, the custard poured over them and the dish set In a pan of warm water to bake. Poached eggs a la Portugalse are erved on molds of rice which has been steamed in tomato sauce. Over them you pour cheese sauce. Mateo egg cake la the Jewish Eler kuchen, made with eggs, mateo meal, and water, with salt to season. The egg yolks and whites are beaten sep arately and, after the mixture U com plete, It la dropped on a hot greased skillet or griddle and browned on both aides to be served wlWi syrup, augar and cinnamon or preserves. The Mexicans serve fried egga with a. sauoe made of tomatoes, onions, green peppers and parsley. la Nova Scotia they make another excellent food combination when they serve poached eggs on codfish cnkos, with tomato sauce, When It comes to aalad dressings and sauces made with eggs, we find we owe one of our favorites to the Russians a mayonnaise to w.hloh Is added chopped green pepper, chill sauoe, chopped chlvea, and a hard rooked egg, chopped. There you have Russian dressing. Among the cakes, or shall we aay rather the confections, are the Swed lah torte, made with eggs, augar, po tato flour and lemon juice for fla voring! and the German cinnamon stimka (Zlmmetstangcn) made of eggs whites, sugar, pounded almonds and cinnamon, These dishes and the recipes given here have been taken from collec tions made by aeveral authorities. It may be, of course, that some of them have been Americanized, and certain It Is that there are many more, from many countries, tbat might well have been Included but for llmlti of space, RECIPES Egg Foo Yeung , (Chinese Omelet) 6 eggs, well beaten. 1 can bean sprouts or mixed veg etables, well drained. l cup cold chicken or other meat shredded. cup onion, shredded.

(U)) -The board of control's resolution condemning the practice of many state employes to leave their offices during working hours was expected today to have only a short-lived effect. The board's resolution was aimed at Individuals wio eat theh breakfasts on state time and then visit lunch counters In the state buildings two or three or more times dally. Department heads probably will re. quest employes to be more discreet in absenting themselves from their desks. Similar warnings have been Issued In the past. Recently a check made by the United Press at one of the counters showed nine persons left their offices at least three times during the day to have a cup of coffee, eat meals or purchase gum or candy. Some of the employes read morning or after noon newspapers while they remain ed at the counters. The practice, a habit with some workers, is widespread and Is not confined to any one department. There are, of course, some employes who do not leave thler duties except during the lunch .hour. Time wasted by employes of some large departments has necessitated the hiring of additional workers, some officials believe. State employes, as a whole, work shorter hours and enjoy more holi days than Individuals In private bus iness. Federal employes are prob ably the only class to enjoy com parable working hours and vacations.

It. used to bo sulphur and molasses but now it9s delicious WILL yon ever forget the sulphur and molluscs "spring tonic"? But times have changed. Today, we know that much of the listlessness of spring days results from common constipation. Tills condition can be corrected by Including plenty of "bulk" with meals. So today, instead of getting an unpleasant "spring tonic," you go to your grocer's for a pack age of Kciiogg's all-Bran. Two tablespoonfuls of . this delicious cereal daily furnish the "bulk" needed to help promote regular habits. AUJRAM Timwilin-sjrilB ALL-BRAN also provides vitamin B, as well as a generous share of the iron you need in spring. People who are really ill after the winter, of course, should consult their physicians. ALL-BRAN is simply recom mended for common constipation and is not a "cure-all." The labels of bran cereals tell, now, whether they are all bran or oidy part bran. Get Kciiogg's ALL-BRAN and avoid dls appointment! At all grocers. Made by Kellogg in 1? Battle Creek.
