Canned Peas Safe.

Q. Is there anything especially harm
full about ca ned peas? Some people
fear to eat them unless the contained
liquid is poured off. Why?
What, outside the little June peas. i:

peas, if safe at all. What is the clean.

canned peas. Canned vegetables and

worthy. There is no more clearly and
sanitary food on the market than canned
goods as they are prepared to-day by
high grade packers. Several excellent
brands are listed in the Westfeld Book
of Pure Foods, which may be secured
from the Westfeld Board of Trade,

can perhaps make larger profit.
BUT-just as the greater num-
Der of food manufacturers are now
interested in giving the housewife
an honest product, far superior
than that required by law, just as
the intelligent housekeeper is learn
ing to discriminate between this
superior article and an inferior
brand, so the grocer is beginning
to take a new pride in his shop.
To display an honest article attrac-
lively and sell it at an honest
price seems TO have become his
ambition.
instances are rare, indeed, where
a grocer deliberately tries to push
the sale Of drussed, dyed or improp-
erly preserved foods when a reliable
brand has been named and insisted
upon.
The housekeeper can very readi-
ly learn that, in the great majority
of cases, the grocer has the stand
ard articles on his shelves; that he
is willing TO give her what she asks
for, and that If undesirable goods
do come 10 her kitchen it is due
to her carelessness in not asking
for the proper brand rather than TO
substitution by the grocer.

A Matter of Diet.

Q. My daughter has the foolish notion
Of not eating meat during Lent, but
says that the vegetables, mscaroni,
bread. etc. which she eats are just as
nutritious as meat. Others tell me that
every growing person needs meat. Will
you kindly inform me if the foods above
mentioned will serve as well as meat?
Mother.
A. II is not true that purely vege-
Ia BILE diet is as nutritious or as strength
enng as well chosen meat diet. There
are. however, some individuals who are
better nourished by vegetable than bv
meat diet. The best researches in
dietetics to-day show that !. mixed diet
on whole is better adapted to the needs
of the American people.

In Strawberry Time.

Now that strawberry time is here, the
| following recipes may not come amiss
Strawberry Shortcake-Two cups of
| flour, four teaspoons OF baking powder,
half teaspoon of salt, two teaspoons
OF sugar, one quarter of cup of butter.
Mix dry ingredients, work in butter
with tips of fingers, and add milk grad
ually. Toss on Toured board, divided
in two parts. Pat, roll out, and bake
IL minutes in a hot oven in round layer
cake tins. Split and spread with butter.
| Sweeten strawberries to taste, place on
| back of range till warmed, crush slight
| ly, and put between and on top of short
cakes. Allow from one to one and one
half boxes of berries to each shortcake.
Strawberry Mousse--One pint whip
ped cream, one cup sugar, one box of
strawberries, two tablespoons cold wa
ter, one-quarter box of gelatine (scant)
or one and one-quarter tablespoons gran
ulated gelatine, three tablespoons of hot
water. Wash and hull berries, sprinkle
with sugar, and let stand one hour.
Mash and rub through fine sieve. Add
gelatine soaked in cold water and dis
solved in boiling water, set in pan Of
ice water and stir until it begins to
thicken, then fold in whipped cream.
Put in mould, cover, pack in salt and
ice and let stand for four hours.
Strawberry Chartruse-C out the
center of a round sponge cake, leaving
bottom and sides thick enough to hold
a quart of jelly. Prepare a strawberry
jelly and when cold and just ready to
form. turn into the cake and 1T aside
in cool place or on ice. When ready to
serve cover top with whipped cream.
Flavor the cream with vanilla and add
sugar before whipping. The jelly may
be made with one envelope OF gelatine,
one cup cold water, two cups Zone pint
boiling water, three quarters cup sugar,
one-half cup lemon Juice. Soak the gela
tine in the cold water five minutes and |
dissolve with the boiling water; add the |

Foods with Fuel Value.

@. Is there any way of determining
Just what foods will properly sustain
the body? | know it requires carbon
hydrogen, oxygen. nitrogen, sulphur
phosphorus and lot of other elements.
But how are we to know what foods
have the right quantities of these ele-
ments? One might fill up on cereals
and yet go hungry; he might eat more
meat than was good for h.s,; he might
grow sick on fruit, etc.
The point ] am trying to reach is:
"What is a we'll balanced ration" In
these hard times one wants to get the
proper body sustaining foods just as
cheap as possible. What's the answer?
P. S.
A. The point you raise is an exceed
ingly vital one and is too deep for an
extended discussion in this department.
The body is in constant need of fuel,
but the fuel demand of different individ-
uals varies greatly. One of the best
smaller treatises on this subject is
small book of 81 pages "rhe Funda-
mental Basis of Nutrition" by Graham
Lusk, published at New Haven. Conn,
by the Yale University Press. We would
earnestly recommend this book to your
attention.

Topics of the
Home and
Household.

The more often carpets are shaken the
longer they wear; the dirt that collects
under them grinds out the thread.
In washing cut glass use warm water
and soap and rinse in luke warm water
to which add little Biueing. This
viii improve the looks greatly.
II glycerine is directly applied after
a scalding accident and the scalded parts
covered with strips OF soft linen soaked
in glycerine the effect will be wonder
full.
When baking dish gets burned in
using, it should not be scraped simply
put a little water and ashes in it, and
the burned surface will come off easily
without injuring the enamel.
Light hair always grows darker as
you grow older. Never attempt bleach
ing, but the woman who is troubled in
this way might add the juice from half
lemon in next to the last rinsing wa
ter. If her hair is not too dry already,
it won't harm to put teaspoonful OF
borax in the shampoo bath.

due largely to the large quantities of
natural mineral salts which they bring
into the system. Among the vegetables
particularly to be relished at this time
of the year are spinach and various
other greens" The water in which
they are cooked, however, should be
used, preferably in the form of a thin
soup. To throw away the water in
which greens" are cooked is a foolish
waste of valuable material. At no time
of the year are parsnips so delicious
and delicate as in the spring, particu-
larly when they have been subjected to
freezing in the ground during the win

ingredients are in the so-called "pepsin
gums" on the market to-day.
F. w. T.
A. The ingredients in chewing gum
are chicle Ia gummy substance obtained
by coagulating the sap of any one of
several trees of the Sapotaceae, these
trees being found particularly in Mexico
and Central America, together with
sugar, glucose and flavoring- The true
pepsin gums have a small Quantity OF
pensin added thereto. Some of the So
called pepsin gums or the market show
