The cold weather has made the bens "climb into their shell" —few eggs are available yet, Frankly, I think we were spoiled with such easy-to-prepare products. A cook 'never feels really stuck if she has a few eggs and a few ordinary staples. Eggs give us a liberal supply of body-building and tissue-building pro- teins, also a good amount of the vita- mins which protect us from eye weak- ness and nervousness. Eggs that are properly cooked are easily digested. With this in mind, the wise mother will see that her busy little run-about of 3 to 12 years of age gets the egg simply cooked (coddled or poached), Then here are the recipes to use when eggs are scarce. * * * RECIPES Eggless Devil's Food 3-14 cup cocoa, 1 tsp.'-soda, 134 cup cake flour, sifted, 34 tsp. salt, 1 cup brown sugar (packed), 1 cup sour milk or buttermilk, 3fi cup shortening, melted, 1 tsp. van- illa. Sift cocoa, flour, soda and salt to- gether; add brown sugar and mix well. Add sour milk, melted shorten- ing and vanilla. Beat until smooth, turn at once into greased shallow pan, and bake in electric oven, 350-375° F. about 30 minutes. Basic Spice Cake 1 cup 'brown sugar, 1 cup water, ih cup shortening, 2 cups deeded raisins, 1 tsp. cinnamon, Y2 tsp. salt, Y2, tsp. each nutmeg, allspice and cloves, 1 cups cake or pastry flour, sifted, 1 tsp. soda, i, tsp. baking powder. Boil the sugar, water, shortening, raisins, spices and salt together for 3 minutes, stirring. continually. Cool. Sift flour, soda and baking powder together, and gradually stir into batter and beat well. Bake in greased cake pan in electric oven, 300-325 degrees. F., for about one hour.

Add raisins, and bake about 30 min- utes longer. Instead of baking this pudding may be cooked in the top of a double boiler with less heat and in a shorter time; it should cook until the rice has absorbed all the milk. Serve hot or cold. * * * TAKE A TIP: For variations of Basic Spice Cake: (1') Add 1 tsp. almond extract and 1/2 cup blanched almonds; (2) Add 1 cup chopped raisins, 2 tbsp. chopped citron, 1 tsp, grated orange rind, and 34: cup broken nut meats for a delic- ious fruit cake. For variations of Rice Pudding: (1): Soak 2;6 cup dried apples or peaches; slice and use in place of raisins; (2) Use as substitute 1 cup of orange juice for 1 cup milk with a little grated orange rind. * * * THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. F. C. W. asks: At what temperature should the oven be and how long should one cook a 6, 4, and 2 pound fruit cake? Answer: Bake 4 hours in a very slow oven (275') and place a small pan of water in the oven. Or, pans may be covered with 2 layers of wax- ed paper (tie in place) and steam 2 hours, then bake 2 hours in oven at 300°. Mrs. M. B. asks: Ingredients for our dark fruit cake published 2 years ago.
