For Sprains

Ingredients

Directions

  2. CHAFING DISH,

  3. "As that historic barque, long known as Noah's Ark, Was filled zuith choice samples of fowl, flesh and fish; So we in modern ages, conning these printed pages, Compass like miracles with the Chafing Dish."

  4. Ingredients. — One can of tomatoes (thoroughly drained in colander), 1 tablespoonful of butter, 1 teaspoonful of onion juice, 1 teaspoonful of salt, 1 saltspoonful of white pepper, unbeaten raw eggs to equal the number of guests.

  5. Directions. — Place in chafing dish the butter, salt, pepper and onion juice, and when well blended add the tomatoes. Cover and cook thoroughly (usually about 10 minutes). Then add from a bowl the eggs and stir gently until the eggs set. Serve quickly on crackers, toast or triscuits. Usually from 8 to 12 eggs are used to 1 can of tomatoes. Avoid cooking too long after the eggs are added, else the mixture may curdle. A " baboon " of this nature is recommended as being inexpensive, palatable and easily digested, and convenient, as the ingre- dients are usually to be found when needed.
