this? CAROLINE T.

interest, since It describes situation
which in one form or another Is
familiar to most housekeepers:

s7ttng ready to move on to farm, where
fresh meat is not to be had every day, and
as have been brought up in the city, am
at a loss what TO cook instead Of fresh
meat. will have plenty Of eggs. milk. and
salt meat. We are not fond of eggs, boiled
or fried. You will help me much by CIV
ing me some good advice. Mrs. K"
You are fortunate in having eggs at COM
maud. The cost Of these makes it hard for
some of us to use them as substitutes for
meat Sovaried are the methods Of cooking
them that you could offer them to your
household in a different style every day for
q month, but at the end Of that time you
would probably have bilious family on
your hands
The high cost Of meat has directed the
attention of all of US who have to economic
TO savory dishes which may be prepared
either without meat or with only enough
of it to serve as seasoning. Some OF these
an happy to give you. and hope that
the recipes will not only be Of use to you.
but to those who wish TO save on their meat
bills
You have heard me dilate on the good
qualities Of cheese so often that you will
/ not wonder at my giving 1t a prominent
place among meat substitutes Experts on
nutrition claim that it possesses three
times as much nourishment as an equal
weight of meat. In addition TO its value in
this line it has appetizing properties, and
when combined with bread crumbs to sup
ply the starches it lacks, is not indigestible
except to delicate stomachs. Try some Of
the directions give for hot cheese dishes
and tell US If they Go not win popularity.

Bread Made from Dry Yeast.

In laying before readers the last recipe for
bread We shall insert today, I think it will
be we'll to say If We seem TO make a run upon
this branch OF housewifery it is from prin-
cipIe rather than inclination.
Housewives, all over the country. are
coming to the knowledge of the fact that
by serving good homemade bread to their
families they save at least one-third upon
the bakers bill, to say nothing Of providing
more wholesome and palatable breadstuffs
than may be bought from shops or manu-
factory. The economical side OF the ques-
ton may appeal more strongly to a small
percentage Of mothers than the wholesome
ness OF the homemade loaf. Combined, the
two considerations are a powerful argu-
ment in favor Of every woman learning an
art our foremothers accepted as matter OF
course.
