EGGS! EGGS! EGGS!
Well, Marm, I have been all over the Town
And can’t buy Eggs for less than half a crown
The dozen, and run the chances of a Chicken.
Well, Mary, put on your bonnet quick,
And go to JEFFRIES, get a pack of Egg Powder made by
BORWICK,
And as the time is short, and the S.E. blows hard,
You may not at SPOLANDERS’ get Fat, so bring a pound of
Lard.
Egg Powder on sale at 41 Plein Street, Opposite Lelie
Street, in a direct line with the Foundation Stone of the New Houses of
Parliament, and the Time Ball of the Signal Hill, Cape Town.

CAKE WITHOUT EGGS, MILK OR BUTTER
The following recipe shows how an appetizing, wholesome cake
can be made without expensive ingredients. In most recipes the number of eggs
may be reduced one-half or more and often left out altogether by using an
additional quantity of Royal Baking Powder, about a teaspoon, in place of each
egg omitted. ( The old method (fruit cake) called for 2 eggs.)

BRITISH FOOD PROBLEMS:
MEAT SHORTAGE
The Meat Shortage is becoming more acute. The Director of
Meat Supplies announces a probable restriction by 25 percent in the supplies to
butchers compared with October. It is believed the ultimate restriction will be
50 percent.
Lord Rhondda threatens to commandeer cattle if supplies are
withheld. The control of the price of fish is fore-shadowed, especially of the
kinds consumed by the poorer classes. - Reuter

BRITAIN BUYS MEAT, EGGS, BUTTER, CHEESE AND MAIZE FROM UNION
It is understood that negotiations are proceeding between
the British and Union Governments for the export of South African meat to the
United Kingdom.
The export of large quantities is not expected, but the meat
which is exported will be sent under improved conditions provided by the Meat
Control Board.
It is stated on good authority that the exportable egg
output of South Africa for the present season has been bought by Great Britain,
as well as the exportable output of butter and cheese up to March 31, 1940.
In addition to Britain’s participation in the South African
wool market it is understood that it is also supporting the Union maize market.
During the present record season, which has provided an
exportable surplus of maize of nearly 1,500,000 tons, the British Government
has been the principal buyer through the Maize Control Board. – Sapa-Reuter.
