CHEESE AN ECONOMICAL FOOD
Really Better for the Health Of the
Family Than the Very Much
More Costly Meat. sa

While so much is being said and
written about the high cost Of food
stuffs. It is well to remember that the
housekeeper who has the most knowl-
edge Of the materials with which she
works and the most skill In applying
her knowledge, is the one who can
make the money at her disposal go
the farthest.
The cheaper cuts OF meat are as
nutritious. and when well cooked. are
as palatabIe, as the more expensive
cuts. II she wishes to use something
in place of meat, she has fsh-fresh
and cured-milk, eggs, beans, peas,
and similar legumes, nuts If they are
relished, and last, but very important
from the standpoint Of its food value,
palatability, and the great number of
ways in which It can be used
cheese.
The way in which these substitutes
for meat can be served are numerous
and varied Individual taste and food
habits are to be considered, but, in
general, 1t is true that the relish with
which other dishes are accepted In
place Of meat depends upon the In
genuity and skill of the cook. It
seems foundation principle that as
meat is a savory dish, any acceptable
substitute for it must be savory or
must be made so by suitable season
ing and proper cooking.
Those who wish to make substitu-
ton of these foods for meat often
desire to know how much OF each is
necessary in order to replace a given
amount OF meat. II we consider only
i the proteins Of the meat, the follow
Ing general statement may be made:
Two and one-half quarts of milk, IL
pounds fresh lean fish, three-fourths
pound dried fish, two-thirds pound or
binary cheese, somewhat less than a
pound of mixed nuts, nine eggs, one
half pound shelled peanuts, or two
thirds pint dry beans, peas, cowpeas or
/, lentils is equal to a pound of beef of
average composition.
1t will be seen that two-thirds Of a
pound of cheese contains as large an
amount of what laymen call "the
muscle-forming materials as one
pound of beef of average composition.
According to abundant analyses,
cheese compares even more favorably
with meat If it's fuel value instead of
its percentage of protein is taken into
consideration, for one-half of pound
of ordinary cheese yields as much
energy as pound of beef Of average
composition.

SUBSTITUTE FOR MEAT
DAINTY MEALS THAT MAY BE
ECONOMICALLY PREPARED.
Much Depends on the Proper Furnish

Z table Ration Not Hard to
Put Together.

tfNow that the price OF meat is so
high many are looking about for means
to do without It. trying to discover
something to take its place. OF
course, vegetarianism at once pre-
sents itself as a solution Of the diff
Guilty, but most people recoil in horror
from vegetarianism. They conceive It

Jcoarse bread, beets, etc. These are
the articles of diet they see in imagi-

is withheld But 1t need not be so. It
is possible to devise tempting and
tasty dishes for a luncheon or a for

such as those mentioned, need never
be served; indeed. many vegetarians
hardly ever touch them. Let us think,
then, what we shall eat and how to
make the table look appetizing.
In the first place, the table may be
made to look charming II 1t is taste-
fully laid with fine linen, spotless
glass, polished silver and dainty china.
The dishes which are brought on to
the table should contain food dressed
and arranged artistically.
1t is possible to arrange dishes so
that no one knows exactly what he IS
eating, but thinks 1t delicious. In
stead Of giving one vegetable, give
several at once, mixed together thor
oughly, and covered with dressing or
>sauce, to make It appear still more
appetizing. In arranging these COM
binations, vegetables or fruits which
blend together well must be intro
duced; also due allowance must be
made for the various combinations
and proportions of the foods-that Is,
acids, proteids, carbohydrates, etc,
must be balanced as nearly as posi-
BILE.
Salads of all kinds are beneficial,
and fruits are also very good during
the hot weather. A delicious fruit
salad may be made by mixing to-
,gether, in a large bowl, chopped or
anges, pears, plums, grapes, peaches,
&pricots, etc. dates, figs and nuts, and
pouring this into another bowl, lined
with lettuce leaves. Honey should be
poured over this and whipped cream
placed on top. This, with a couple Of
peanut butter sandwiches, will make a
delicious and sustaining meal.
The following is a delightful salad:
Scoop out the insides of several toma-
toes. Cut up three or four anchovies
into small fragments. Cut up also the
centers of the tomatoes. Mix together
with little finely chopped cabbage,
green peDper and flavor of onion

poses Of decoration and to increase

Tin Scrub Bucket.

The most convenient scrub bucke2
Is light one made of galvanized tin,
with wide. haring top. The buckot
should be fitted with a wire soap tray
at one side, for often the soap n
wasted when left floating in the water,
or there is no convenient place to
put 1t while scrubbing. Holes can be-
punctured In the bucket and the wire
tray fastened with wire or heavy cord
Again, the soap may be kept in the
tray and always DO convenient when
needed.
