GETS rae COOP our ii OF FOOD.

/ BY Martha MccuIloeh Williams. /.
s Eating serves q double purpose
the giving Of pleasure, the keeping
up of strength. Ill-cooked food re-
duces both to a minimum-hence the
provcrb: God sends meat and the
devil sends cooks Possibly his
satanic majesty now and again mods.
It must have been in such somno-
lent interval that he let NJ. Soyer's
system Of PAPER bag cooking get by
him. For unquestionably 1t is in the
way Of reducing ill-cooking at least
one-half. Thereby it will help to feed
fat all the nations Of the earth.
The use Of cooking is to change
THE nature Of food substances, max.
ing them at once better tasting and
more digestible. Heat works by de-
yeloping fayors and transforming sub
stances. Its most important office is,
however, to break down fiber, animal
and vegetable. to such a degree as to
render 1t easily digestible. If 1t is
to do this 1t must be properly applied.
That is to say. gently regularly. ),
Simple food well cooked, Is the
foundation of .happihess- and paper
bag cooking means good cooking.
1t follows naturally that the paper
bag is especially useful in preparing
food for delicate persons, and grow
ing .childfens Here follow some
dishes that hayeE helped build up
iwea2s ana swsste ed people. That they
viii be likewise good for children,
especially delicate ones, admits Of
no doubt. ~
Pigeon Roast.-Take- a SQUAD, a
squab-chicken as small as possible,
or q quail; dress It whole, stuff light
ly with toasted bread crumbs, adding
ratsin or two, or shreds Of tart
apple. Season very lightly inside be-
fore stunning. Rub little more salt
outside, but only little. Rub also
with soft butter, not melted, and
dredge very lightly with -four. Then
wrap In bacon, sliced as thin as pos
sibie, and put into buttcred bag
With half teaspoonful OF water. Seal
and cook in a hot oven twenty to
thirty minutes, depending on the size.
The squab.chicken may require thir-
ty;hve minutes. ~
Shredded Wheat and Tomatoes
Pour upon each shredded wheat bis
cult required a teaspoonFul OF melted
butter Lay the buttered biscuit in
a Well-buttered bag and pile upon
them thick slices of peeled toma-
toes, well seasoned with sugar, salt,
black and red pepper. Seal and cook
for ten minutes. Serve on hot plates.
"a pleasing variant for children is to
use instead Of tomatoes, bananas
peeled, cut in cubes, covered with
sugar and lemon juice, and cooked
for eight minutes. This can be served
with cream.
