PLAN No. 548. MAKING A SUBSTITUTE FOR EGGS
When eggs are selling at 50 to 60 cents a dozen most people are glad to use a substitute, especially when the substitute, for many purposes, is superior to real eggs.
A gardener in Los Angeles, who had experimented in many ways with vegetables of all kinds, discovered that carrots can be made a very satisfactory substitute for eggs. He boils, mashes and presses them through a coarse cloth or hair strainer, and uses them in making a pudding by introducing the pulp among the other ingredients of the pudding, using no eggs whatever. A pudding thus made is not only much lighter, but much more palatable than one in which eggs are used.
The results were so satisfactory, when used in his own home, that he at once wrote out full instructions for preparing the carrots, had 1,000 copies printed, and advertised to mail the information for 50 cents. He received so many remittances that his 1,000 copies were soon all used up, and several thousand more were printed. To-day he is in receipt of an income that makes him a good living, simply through letting other people know about his discovery, and having them pay for it. But it is well worth the price.
