CONCERNING CEREALS.

From Housekeeper.
Few people cook their cereals long
enough.
All cereals should be cooked at least an
hour.
It IS better still. in the case Of oat-
meal. for instance, If it can be cooked
all night.
Rolled cereals cook in less time than
the whole grain
The taste OF all cereals is improved by
rich cream and sugar.
little salt adds likewise to the flavor
OF the cooked grain.
Cold cereals, like the various flakes, are
much improved by the addition Of fresh
fruit, with Il natural juices.
