COOKING AND SERVING
OF CEREAL FOODS

a man who can begin his days work
with Well cooked breakfast should be
able to give a good account OF himself
at nightfall. \ fair start opens the way
TO fine finish. Cereals have pushed
their way SO far TO the front that the
cook who can serve a variety of cereals
in a number OF different appetizing ways
mas progressed far on the road toward
solving the breakfast question. The value
OF cereal foods IS We'll attested: but the
monotony of their serving needs TO be
broken by various eXpedents. A clever
writer on household topics declares that
as rule the cereals are under-cooked

SOME SAVORY SAUCES.

\ savory sauce is often the salvation
OF a mediocre meat or vegetable dish.
No cook, of course. should. depend on a
sauce to cover up the defects of the
cooking. But cheap cuts of meat. veg
etables that are not full of taste and
flavor. and leftover meats and vegeta-
bles can all be greatly improved by the
addition of good sauce. And any
sauce whether it is TO give flavor to
some somewhat tasteless dish or
whether it is simply TO bring out the
best flavor of a juicy beefsteak or a
chicken. should be carefully made. with
due regard to the dish with which it is
to be served.
Here is a sauce Hindoo cooks find use

concoct. Put two ounces of butter in a
frying pan and add tablespoonful Of

Peppers Stuffed with Rice.

Cut the tops from green peppers and re-
move the seeds, taking care not to get
them on the fingers any more than pos
sible. They have an unpleasant fashion
of burning badly. Throw the peppers
into boiling water and cook them for ten
minutes, take them out and dry. Set
them upright In baking dish and fill
them with boiled rice Put piece OF
butter about the size Of q hickory nut on
top OF the rice in each one, lay on the
tops of the peppers, which have been put
aside to serve for covers, and set the dish
in the oven for ten minutes, that the pep
pers and the contents may be heated
through and the butter melted.

Meat Roll.

Two pints of ground beef, two pints o
bread crumbs moistenei with one PIN
of milk, and three eggs beaten together,
one rounding teaspoonful of salt, one
saItspoonful of pepper two teaspoonfuls
of butter. one tablespoonful of fine sage.
The butter need not be used if there is
sufficient fat in the meat To make this
meat roll nice the beef must be run
through the grinder twice. removing the
strings and bits of gristle carefully each
time. Mix the meat then lightly with the
softened bread. and with a fork run the
mass through to catch any possible re-
manning strings. Mold in two loaves m
a pan and put i'll a hot oven for ten
minutes to form a crust, then pour a
little hot water in the pan. Bake one
hour. Serve with white gravy. In this
meat roll very cheap cuts of beef may
be used, as the careful grinding makes 1t
as good as choice meat.
