What and how much.

1 egg

1 teaspoonful of sugar a shake of salt some flavoring

3/4 cup of milk

How to make. Beat the yolk and white separately. Add to the yolk a teaspoonful of sugar, a shake of salt, some flavoring, and 3/4 of a cup of milk. Beat the white gently into this mixture and serve in a glass. The flavoring may be a quarter of a teaspoonful of vanilla, or a tablespoonful of orange juice. This is sometimes served to an invalid who can take milk, and is an agreeable luncheon for any one. If milk does not agree with one, a larger amount of fruit juice may be used with the addition of some water, possibly carbonated. The white alone is given in cases of severe illness, mixed with a small amount of water and fruit juice, if the physician permits the latter. This is sometimes the only food that can be retained by an invalid.

Jellied or coddled eggs.

See that the shells are whole and clean. If the eggs are just taken from the refrigerator, lay them in warm water a few minutes. Make ready a double boiler, with the lower part half full of boiling water. Put the number of eggs that you wish to use into the inner boiler. Cover with water that has just stopped boiling. Put on the boiler cover. Stand the boiler where the water below will no longer boil. The eggs will be done in from six to eight minutes.

See if you can think of another way of doing this same experiment.
