MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, JEEDFORD, OEEGOJT, FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1931 PAGE SEVEfl Eggs Rate Next to Milk As Most Valuable Food By Bureau of Homo Economics, V. S. Department of Agriculture If we had to do without milk, the next most valuable single food would be eggs. Eggs are more nearly In terchangeable with milk In nutritive value than any other food, according to scientists whose life work is the study of foods. Eggs are so very Important, says the Bureau of Home Economics pf the U. S. Department of Agriculture, that this country would be better off If everybody could be sure of at least three or four eggs a week, and more If possible. Apparently we did average something like that a few years ago. But more eggs are eaten --on the farms that produce them, tt seeme, than by people who must buy them, and a great many people get eggs very seldom Indeed, certainly, at city prices, a dozen or two of eggs for the family each week makes something of a hole In the food budget trimmed down to the slimmest pocketbooka. But maybe, at that, the eggs would bo a better invest ment In food values than some other things that seem cheaper. Let us see why, says the Bureau of Home Economics of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture. Eggs are easily digested so easily that we give them to the babies and invalids. That means we digest an unusually high high percentage of the food sub stances eggs contain. And, with Just two important exceptions, are rich Mn all the known food substances necessary for growth and develop ment of the human body. The egg has proved its concentrated food value because It docs actually feed the embryo chick, providing every thing the chick needs to put him factually on his feet and walking as eoon as he la hatched. The chick, by the way, gets calcium from the egg, although we can't. He gets It from the shell, which we discard. The Important nutritive values of the egg are Its protein, fat, minerals (especially phosphorus and lron, and vitamins (especially A, B. D and G). And as these are food values that change very little when eggs are properly cooked , It doesn't matter much, nutritionally speaking, wheth er you take your eggs raw or cooked. The big point la HOW to cook them. That has much to do with the digestibility of eggs. Always cook them slowly, at moderate, even heat. For soft-cooked eggs or for hard oooked eggs with tender whites, start the eggs in cold water to cover, sup ported on a rack. Heat the water gradually to simmering, but do not let It boll. Boiling temperature toughens white of egg. The tempera ture of the water should not be al lowed to go higher than 185 degrees P. For soft-cooked eggs, remove from the fire when the water simmers (or is at 185 degrees F.) , cover the pan m and let it stand for a few minutes. The length of time required must be found by experience. The num ber of eggs cooked at a time, the size of the pan, and the quantity and temperature of the water all af fect the rate at which egga cook. For hard-cooked eggs, continue cook ing over a low fire for 30 minutes after the water simmers, and keep It below boiling. To poach eggs, break them Into enough boiling salted water to cover them in a shallow pan, and lmme dltaely remove from the fire. Cover and let stand for about five min utes. Remove the eggs carefully with a perforated spoon. To fry eggs, break them .Into a . moderately hot pan containing ba con or other fat, and cook over a low fire. If the eggs are to be cooked over the top, dip up the hot fat with a spoon and pour it over the yolks until a coating Is formed. Or, If preferred, turn the eggs carefully and cook them on both sides. For shirred or baked eggs, break them Into a shallow buttered baking dish or ramekin, dot with butter, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the dish in a pan of water and bake in a moderate oven (350 de , r grees F.) until the whites of the I eggs are set. " Even when the price of eggs Is up, they are comparatively cheap as a main dish for any meal, because they give so much food value for the money. With eggs and milk, greens or to matoes, and bread, you have all the KINDS of food you need for a meal; or say you have an omelet, toast and fruit, with milk to drink; or creamed hard-cooked eggs, or baked eggs in white aauce or eggs with salt pork or bacon to any of these add tomatoes or cabbage, or fruit, drink milk or buttermilk, and you have, a balanced meal. And keep this in mind for econo my's sake: Two protein dishes, like eggs and lean meat, eggs and fish, or eggs and beans, served at one meal, are extravagant. If you wish to keep your food bill down, 'and at the same time keep the family diet balanced, use eggs as a main dish when you arc not serving lean meat, or beans. Baked Eggs and nice In Tomnto Stiii ce A cup uncooked rice. 1 pint canned tomatoes. teaspoon salt. 1 bav leaf, '-n. 4 cloves. 3 tablespoons melted butter or other fat. 3 tablespoons flour. o eggs. 3 tablespoons grated cheese. V cup buttered bread crumbs. Cook the rice in a large quantity of boiling salted water for 20 min utes, or until tender, wash la cold water, drain, and let steam and tiwell over hot water. Prepare a sauce by cooking the tomatoes and seasonings for 10 minutes, strain and thicken with the blended fat and flour. Make a layer of the rice in a shallow greas ed baking dish, drop the raw eggs carefully on the rice, pour on' the sauce, and sprinkle over the top the grated cheese mixed with the but tered bread crumbs. Bake in a slow oven (about 275 degrees F.) until the eggs are set. Serve in the baking dtsh. Eggs Scrambled With Shredded Lettuce or Cabbage Shred the lettuce or the cabbage fine, with a very sharp knife. For six eggs chop enough onion to make a tablespoonfui. Melt one tablespoon of butter in a saucepan, add the on ion, cook until the onion la soft. Beat the egga until they are well mixed but not light, adding one tablespoon of milk for each egg. Add the beaten eggs to the butter and onion, with salt, pepper, and the shredded lettuce or cabbage. Cook slowly, stirring with a fork until the eggs are "set," turn at once into a hot platter and serve. Flat Omelet With Onion Beat the eggs with one tablespoon of milk for each egg and salt to taste. Stew chopped onion in butter until the onion is tender, stir into the beaten eggs. Pour a thin layer of the mixture Into a hot greased pan and cook slowly and evenly. When brown on the bottom, roll the omelet In the pan and turn it out on a hot platter. CONVICT GIRL'S SLAYER WILL FACE GRAND JURY EOF LITTLE ROCK, Ark., July 13. Coroner L. C. Aday placed a first de gree murder charge against Frank Martin, trusty guard, for the killing yesterday of Helen Spence Eaton, woman convict, as she was attempting to make good her escape from the state farm for women.

"NOT CONSTIPATED FOR SEVEN WEEKS" Writes Mrs. Johnson After Using Kellogg's All-Bran Sufferers from constipation will be interested in this unsolicited letter: "Your Al-Brait surely relieves constipation. I am bo elad over the good it has done me that I feel I must write and tell you of it, "For lunch I take a banana, a large one. Six tablespoons of All Bran in a sauce dish, and dip banana at each bite until all is consumed. I haven't been consti pated now for seven weeks." Mrs. Louise Johnson, 1433 Forest Street, Denver, Colorado. Constipation often causes head aches, loss of appetite and energy, sleeplessness. This condition is usually due to lack of "bulk" to ex ercise the intestines, and vitamin B to further promote regular habits. Kellogg's All-Bran has both, as well as iron for the blood. The "bulk" in All-Bran Is much like that in leafy vegetables. 'With in the body, it forms a soft mass. Gently, it clears out the wastes. Try All-Bran in place of patent medicines often harmful. Two tablespoonfuls daily will overcome most types of constipation. Chronic cases, with each meal. If not re lieved this way, see your doctor. Use as a cereal, or in cooking. Recipes on the red-and-green pack age. Sold by all grocers. Made by E-ellogg in Battlo Creek. Q seccncleub, jolmz" lie to "be let In on everything that is to be known about It." Helen was shot behind the ear, and It was this circumstance, he said, that caused many comments on the killing. Aday returned a verdict of Justifi able homicide following his own ex tensive investigation late yesterday, after Martin, apparently the only eye witness, said Helen refused to hold up her hands when ordered to do so, and Instead reached for a pistol she carried.
