.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,

STATE HOUSE, Salem, Ore. (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.
