DERED EGGS
Seattle, Jan. 17—Housewives in
the future will do their cooking with,
powdered eggs, and thus get the
laugh on the usual high prices of
winter cackleberries. according t
experiments now being conducted by
the home economics uepartment of
the University of Washington.
"There is no reason at all why
dry and powdered eags cannot be
used in cooking as well as fresh
eggs," said Miss Elizabeth Rother
mel, who is in charge of the exper
iments.
"The United States government
recommends them highly, saying
that they contain all the nutriments
o* strictly fresh eggs. The present
price of powdered eggs is $1 a
pouni!, which is equivalent to fresh
eggs at 3 1 cents a doze'i. Eggs are
73 p«.r cent water and can be dried
into composite form without any los
o* nutriment."

lO WALK STKAIGHT IX WOODS
It is a known fact that we walk
naturally in a curve. If you are in
che woods with nothing to guide you
you will walk in a circle and not
find your way out. If you are on
the plains "and have neither sun
nor stars nor compass for guides
you will do the same thing—walk
in a circle and arrive nowhere.
In the woods, however, a clever
device to be resorted to is this:
Select three trees in a straight line
and walk toward them. When you
reach the first on^ there are still
two ahead which keep the straight
line for you. Select a third tree
in line with the other two and walk
toward them. Always keep the line
of three trees ahead and yoji will
never walk in a circle.—American
Boy.
