VALUABLE EGGS
Hello Homemakers! Eggs are eggs
these days! 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.

This season due to shortages and
rationing many people may not be
able to have the traditional Christmas
dinner. For that reason I am sug-
gesting a menu for the holiday meal
that I feel sure will have a really
festive air.
Today's Menu
Roast Goose or pork
Brown or White Rice
Canned or Frozen Green Peas
Orange and Grapefruit Salad
Apple or Currant Jelly
Hot Rolls
Sour Pickles White Fruit Cake
Cheese

Roast Goose
In buying a goose, choose one with
a pliable yellow bill and soft yellow
feet. Prepare goose' as you would
roast turkey or chicken, wash thor-
oughly inside and out, dry and nth
with salt and pepper, Stuff (sage and
onion dressing is the traditional stuff-
ing for goose), sew and truss, and
put into 500 degrees P,, oven for 1,
minutes, then reduce temperature to
850 degrees F., and continue roasting
uncovered, until done, allowing 20
minutes a pound for cooking.
Sage and Onion Dressing
10 good-sized onions
1.14 c. stale bread crumbs
1 tsp, powdered sage
Salt and pepper to _taste
Peel onions and cook Until tender
in boiling, salted water, pouring off
the first water and adding fresh after
they have cooked 10 tribunes, unless
you like the strong taste of onions,
then you may only cook them once or
not at all. When thoroughly cooked,
drain and chop fine, add sage, bread
crumbs and seasonings and stuff the
goose,
