porAo SUBSTITUTES.

There are several kinds of foods
that might take the place of the po.
tato, and for variety 1t is well to oc-
casionally miss a meal and substitute
one of them. !:
The cheapness and availability d
the potato is a great factor in its
popularity.
Rice. macaroni, bread crumbs and
combinations with these foods will
make quite a variety to use in place
of potatoes, occasionally.
Rice cooked until tender, mixed
with a little butter. sprinkled with
grated cheese and onion. Repeat with
another layer of rice, and bake. Makes
a most nutritious dish, which may be
served as a vegetable.
Rice and tomato. baked in layers
and well seasoned with cayenne pep
per. makes another acceptable dish.
Rice, plain boiled, served In a pretty
mound. garnished' with parsley, will
make a most acceptable addition to
beefsteak. The rice may be well sea-
soned and served on a plate. as one
does mashed potato.
Macaron With Nuts.-Take a cup
full of cooked macaroni. put it in the
bottom of a buttered dish, sprinkle
with any kind Of coarsely broken nut
meats, add a cupful of white sauce,
cover with buttered bread crumbs and
bake until the crumbs are brown.
Hominy Is another food rich in nu-
triment which may be served as a
vegetable. Season. and serve well
cooked, as potato with meat. or it may
be combined with cheese and white
sauce and baked.
Hominy Griddle cakes.-Add hom-
my to a griddle cake batter, and cook
as usual, or add to muffin mixture and
bake in the form of gems or muf-
fms
Bread Crumb Omelet-Soak a cup
full of bread crumbs in hot milk. add
two well beaten eggs, season with
cayenne; add two tablespoonfuls Of
grated cheese; season with salt and
cook in an omelet pan. When set.
place in the oven to bake the top.
Orange charIotte.-Soften two and
a half teaspoonfuls of gelatine in half
a cup of cold water. add half cup OF
boiling water. a cup Of sugar. cup
of orange Juice. the rind of an orange
grated. two tablespoonfuls Of lemon
Juice and the whip from three cups
