A Tasty Dish

Pare. core and cut good cooking apples
into pieces. and place them, with SUM-
cient sugar. into a pudding dish; cook
thoroughly In a moderately hot oven
(Those who have no ovens may stew the
fruit). While apples are in the oven or
steWpan prepare and boil contour In
the usual way and when both fruit and
liour are ready proceed to set dish IN
order; that Is. cover the cooked apples
with cooked cornhOuF to the depth OF
about thres-quarters OF an inch. and be
very careful TO completely cover the
apples. Place the dish for a quarter OF
an hour IN the oven, OF IN front OF the
dre before you are 70 use it-it Is good
cold, X preferred. This Is a very nice
pudding. indeed and even those with
'touchy'' disestions may partake OF II
without fear Of evil consequences. Many

The practical housekeeper usually re-
CARDS the balanced ration as a new
tangled notion for which she has neither
time nor inclination. To her It suggests
sundry experiments on "poison squads'
and other devoted volunteers in the cause
of science, little scales for the Weighing
Of each particle Of food and wearisome
textbooks full of fussy calculations.
But the balanced ration as applied to
food is really a very different thing. 1t
is not at all alarming when once you get
acquainted with It, and very few expert
ments convince the housewife that all the
study she can give to this most Interest
ing subject will not lead her one ihch
away from the solid ground OF common
sense.
To provide the balanced ration, the best
wav is TO rlan nt ono time the meals
for the whole day If It Is possible to
do so, It Is better and really easier TO
plnn for the entire week. The first re-
suit OF such planning Is economy; the
second-which Is even more importan,I,-
lie the distribution Of the needed quanIItS
~ food elements throughout the three
meals that are served each day IN tnis I'M,

edpe 10 plan the balanced ration. What
Ia absolutely indispensable, though IS a
yvor,tinr knowledge of the four great ioou
elements upon which depend lite' health
and power to work.
THE first of these is protein, which is
contained in greatest quantity In lean
neat. cheese, eggs, whole grains, nuts
bsans and lentils. This is needed to make
blood and muscle and to renew the frame
work of the body. 1t is the bullolhs
material without which we should soon
wither away. TIT.
The second great element Is fat, when
is needed TO keep the body In good condi-
tion and to store heat and energy In sur
ficient quantity to serve Tor immeulaIe
needs and also to maintain reserve sup
ply. The chief fat-producing foods are
butter, fat meat, nut fats and the
vegetable oils.
Equal in importance to protein are the
carbohydrates, which create the heat and
energy that furnish to man the drlv-
ing power which enables him to do his
work. We get the carbohydrates from

The WAYS of Love

Love has wings and he can use them.
To compel him to stay with us is but to
cage him. and, like the Gagged bird, he
droops and frets.
1t is impossible to force feeling; II one
makes the attempt, all that results is hut
affectation and hypocrisy, ending In dis
gust and WEAKNESS.
No one was ever yet rendered loving or
tender by having love or tenderness de-
manded Of him. And the same applies TO
the other sex also.
The only compulsion that can he satelN
exerted is that of indirect methods-the
trust and the tact of true effection that
gives its all and dreams not of exacting 4.
return.
To have n return is reward indeed but
love finds its reward in itself. The more
1t loves, the less 1t is apt to ask or the
beloved. To be allowed TO adore Is for the
true worshipper enough.
We can he shamed by unselishness and
devotion into giving a return, but We can
never he forced by words or by demands
into anything of the sort, Even tears are
powerless; only love can win love.

Weighing Sticky Things

When you want to weigh out molasses
syrup, honey, jam, soft butter or any
thing sticky of that kind, don't put II
straight into the scale. If you do so, it
will cling, make the scale in a great
mess and waste itself dreadfully.
The thing to do Is to spread a fairly
thick layer of flour crumbs or sifted
sugar-whichever you happen to be using
for your pudding or cake-on the scale
and then measure your sticky stun into
the centre Of this.
You will find that, when you want to
tilt your syrup or whatever it may be into
the pudding basin, 1t slides off quite
cleanly taking a little of the flour with
it and leaving the scale almost speck-
less

For the Invalid

When preparing food for an invalid al
ways remember that the quantity must be
small and the appearance tempting. A
person who is i'll may be put off the meal
altogether II very large helping is served
So only send up quite little the first
time, and let the invalid ask for second
helping II he has enjoyed it.
Always have covers for the dishes
which are going upstairs to an invalid s
room. If the plates are left open, the
contents often get quite cold during the
passage from kitchen to bedroom, and.
as everybody knows, chilled food is sell
dom tempting.
