LAND & WATER 
November 15, 1917 
"Land & Water" — a wrist-watch 
worthy of its makers' reputation 
""^ For men in the Naval, Military, or Air 
Services — tor active, energetic civilians — 
in fact, for all requiring a wrist-watch to 
stand exceptionally hard, rough usage, 
or varying climatic conditions, there' is 
only one watch — " Land and Water." 
The (act that the "Land and Water" 
wrist -watch carries th guarantee of a 
Uritish Hrm with over a century's repu- 
tation, that it can he regulated never to 
lose or gain more than two minutes per 
month, or roughly, at the most four 
seconds per day, under all conditions, is 
in itself a wonderful tribute to the watch. 
But, in addition, the " Land and Water " 
wrist-watch has the advantage of being 
dust and damp proof. The movement 
Is fully jewelled and fitted with Micro- 
meter Regulator to give fine adjustment, 
while the watch is adjusted and com- 
pensated for all positions and tempera- 
tures. Actual tests have proved it equal to a 40 guinea Chrono- 
meter. It stands all the shocks, jars, and strains to which a 
wrist-watch is subject under severe Service conditions. 
It IS fitted with unbreakable glass, thus rendering dial protectors 
unnecessary, and tiic luminous hands and figures are far more 
brilliant and durable than the usual.

Dried Whole 
Eggs 
The high price of eggs — new laid and 
otherwise — gives . the housekeeper 
furiously to think. Economy can cer- 
tainly be worked in the egg direction by using Egall, a most 
convenient proposition. Egall is guaranteed to be the pure 
dried whole egg, the way it is presented being a particularly 
adroit one. Inside the box are twelve little packets each con- 
taining one dried egg, so that measuring is easy. Directions 
arc printed on every one, it being made plain that the contents 
should be dissolved in lukewarm water. It is best to let this 
stand for at least three hours. The box with the twelve 
packets complete costs but is. 7d.,a price at which one has 
been unable to buy a dozen eggs for many a long day. 
Nobody claims that a dried egg is the equivalent of a new- 
laid one in actual taste, but nevertheless Egall can be used 
in cooking most aptly just now. An analyst's report is printed 
just inside the lid, proving not only that Egall is the genuine 
shell egg but also that it possesses the same food value. Egall 
in fact is but an egg with water evaporated, and these one egg 
packets may be regarded as such. When used they want careful 
handling, but if this is done successfully they will be a success 
and also an undoubted help to the resources of the household. 
Some Exceptional 
Cornflour 
Scotch Gauntlet 
Gloves 
Nothing but praise can fall to the lot of 
some remarkably excellent cornflour. 
Like many other good things, it is pre- 
pared in Scotland specially for the London farm now selling it. 
Cornflour is such a valuable and still such a comparatively 
cheap article of food that it is odd it is not used far more often 
than it is. Like everthing else it has of course greatly in- 
creased in price, but even allowing for this it remains a relatively 
inexpensive food, with far more food value than a host of other 
more costly products. 
To get the full benefit of this particular cornflour it should 
be boiled from eight to ten minutes. Then its delicious 
flavour is properly produced. When it has been boiled long 
enough it will, when poured out, leave the saucepan practically 
clean. Great care should be taken that the precise quantities 
mentioned in the various receipts are used and the other 
directions carefully followed. Then the cornflour has its full 
chance, and will show what cornflour at its very best can be. 
As to price it costs ninepence a lb. packet, 2s. 4d. for a three 
and a half lb. bag and 3s. 3d. for a four lb. tin. 
The prospect of cold weather makes some 
really deliciously warm gloves particularly 
, inviting. There are some woollen gaunt- 
let gloves of quite superlative yarn. Soft to a degree, they re- 
present a class of thing indeed, of which the future supply, 
owing to prevailing conditions, is problematical and their 
securing now imperative. 
These wooUen gloves, though obviously worth a good deal 
more, are being sold at the particulirly attractive price of 
3s. I Id In all sizes, some of their colourings are quite re- 
markably beautiful, and bright though they are they would 
never come amiss for country wear. The reason why those 
concerned can offer them so cheaply to-day is a tale so6n told. 
Ihey represent some far-sighted buying some months ago— 
Duying of which the shopping public are reaping the advan- 
tage to-day. Once this present stock is disposed of, the 
gloves (even if they could be got at all-aluays a question 
now) must undoubtedly enormously soar in price 
The same people also have a splendid collection of fur- 
med gloves, besides some wonderful gloves whicli will literally 
last SIX or seven years, so durable are they. Made of goat- 
skin lined with lambswool, they can be bought for 14s. iid. 
money which obviously could hardly be better laid out in the 
winter glove way. Passe-Partout
