EGGS IN THE DAILY MENU
It is said that there is as much nourishment in a lightly-boiled egg as in half a pound of steak, and 1 am quite prepared to believe this.
The cost of living, so far as food is concerned, could be considerably reduced it only people would ext more eggs.

Don't bother about fish or meat for breakfast every day. Have a couple of lightly boiled
eggs in- atead. You can serve them, the West Indian way for à changs if you like, boiling them for not more than two minutes and turning them into small "pony" glasses.
Eggs and cheese go very well to gether, and a dish made from both, together with milk and butter, pro- vides the maximum number of pro-"| teins.

Omelets are not only tasty, bus, excellent for awkward digestions, When in doubt at a restaurant, order an omelet, plain or savoury,
Scrambled, poached and even fried eggs are good for you, al though the fried ones hold the least nourishment.
With two dozen eggs, a clever cook should be able to dish up six meals for four people, providing she has cheese, butter, milk and, maybe, tomatoes and potatoes.
Always be certain the eggs you buy are fresh, and you can only be sure when they are purchased from some dependable dealer such as the Dairy Farm

Some facts about Baby's milk that every mother should know
THE purity of the dairy milk used in
Baby's diet is of vital importance
but consistent quality is important too. Dairy milk varies in composition according to the district in which it is produced and milk that varies is not good for Baby's digestion. Devonshire milk is richest in the nourishing elements that Baby needs. That is why "Ambrosia” is such blessing. It is Devonshire milk exclusively, purified and dried in Deronabire itself as soon as comes from the cows, by a unique process that retains the important vitamins. The quality of Ambrosia never varias and it is many times purer and more digestible than any liquid milk you can buy. For these reasons Ambrosia” is extensively used and recommended by Hospitals, Clinics and Doctors. It is the ideal Milk Food for Expectant Mothers, Nursing Mothers and Infant feeding.
