Directions
Beef Tea.
Free a pound of lean beef from fat, skin, etc. Chop up fine. Put in a pint of cold water to digest two hours. Simmer for three hours, but do not let boil. Make up for water lost by adding cold water. Press and strain. The best meats for beef tea arc the round and rump. Cold water draws out the albumin ; boiling water coagulates it. Beef Juice.
Cut thin, juicy meat into pieces one and one-half inches square; broil one and one-half minutes over a hot fire. Squeeze with a hot lemon squeezer; season with salt and pepper. May be added to milk or poured over toast. Oatmeal Gruel.
Two tablespoonfuls of rolled oats, teaspoonful of salt,
teaspoonful of sugar, and one cup of boiling milk. Mix
oatmeal, sugar, and salt; add boiling water; cook in a
saucepan thirty minutes, or in a double boiler for two
hours. Strain and add hot milk. Bring to a boil and
serve hot.
Oyster Broth.
Chop a dozen oysters fine; put into a saucepan with a cup of cold water. Bring to boiling point; simmer five minutes, then strain and season. By adding milk three minutes before broth is taken from the fire it is made more palatable.
Poached Egg. Pour hot water (or milk) into a saucepan, using salt, spoonful of salt to each cup of water. Bring to boiling point. Break egg into a saucer and slip into the pan. Withdraw the pan to a cooler part of the stove and cook till white of egg is set.

Stewed Prunes.
Wash thoroughly, cover with cold water over night. In
the morning put on back of the stove and let cook very
slowly about two hours. If choice prunes are used no
sugar will be needed.
