If youihave; changed your retailer go to the new one, but-in all I cases the old (look mil be marked,


Then there will be other distributions ?


Yes indeed! The next general share out will be in early October,


, How long do Dried Eggs keep?


‘ ' i ■ i i


i ' , -


^This is a difficult one —so much depends on the ;date when the tin or package was'packed and on how it'has been stored


■ since. As you will be able to get more dried eggs at regular . ■ intervals, the best way is to start on what you’ve got now, and


i i- ;


, so^makesure of enjoying the eg® at their best. They won’t ■


■ keep for the winter,' Why do yon say “ Tin or Package ” ?


Most of the supplies so far have been in the red and silver tin, and there, are more of these to come, but some supplies


, are being packed in special waxed cartons with a picture of the ‘‘Leasb/Lend ” eagle. Whatever the shape or type of container, you may be sure.of getting twelve pure eggs for your 1/9.


Where is the jb^ place to keep my Dried ? ; . \^ y cdol diy place where you i ; , ' ;,v


, , are jhot likely to .forget them.


Mtnsture, heat aijd the odour of i other food a l l ; tend to spoil dried eggs. Do not keep it


' in ! the refrigerator after the tin hakbeen opened.


Hoff do Dried Eggs compare widi ' sh e ila s for cookipg?


^ Ai^ yolk and white are mixed, ^ dr{ed; eggs cannot be boiled, frKd or poached. For all other , purposes, treat'them exactly as shed ■®8gs. They have the s'ime food vaiues, and are just as good


t A


' fos lohiidren as for grown-ups. One tin will go just as far as a dozen eggs from the farm. After mixing withi water or milkr- “ reconstituting’’ they call it — you must use the mixture right away. If you. would like a leaflet of recipes; write to the Ministry of Food.


Can Dried Eggs be used dry;?


Yes,! for puddings and cakes. The idried eg^ should be mixed well ;with the'flour.


I. am not now registered *for shell eggs. Can I get Dried Eggs? Yes, from any retailer who has


: them for sale, but don’t forget : to fake your old Ration Book as well as your, new one.

your readers’ credulity when he says, referring to India, that we are employing “ ruthless methods of totaUtarlanism tp hold down a sub­ jected people," also when he tells us we are sending “ large numbers of,men, ships" and supplies to hold down India.” Has he ever heard of the'methods of the . Gestapo In fee, occupied countries of Europe,-'or of the Japanese threat to ' India-? What-would the Gestapo do kith Gandhi In similar circumstances,? Would they house him In a'luxuri­ ous- palace ?. And Is ifnot possible these men, ships and supplies have something to do with the Japanese menace?
