DISHES FOR CONVALESCENTS
DESCRIBED BY AN EXPERT

DO not butter it; this is Just as good
cold.
For milk or cream toast, the bread
should be toasted the same way A
pleasant change Is to butter the toast.
Lay on a platter that can be put IN
the hot oven, cover with cold milk
place in hot oven until the bread has
absorbed the milk. This does not
mean that It should float in milk.
For cream toast bring the cream TO
the boiling point, place on hot dish,
sprinkle the bread with little SAT-
and cover with the hot cream; then
put hot cover on top and serve within
ten minutes.
Chicken Broth.
Broths are next to BIO considered.
Chicken broth is very appetizing II
correctly made. First fresh chicken
(about A 1-2 pounds) correctly cleaned
and washed. Only make enough broth
for one day. For that, divide the
chicken into four parts; the first, the
back and neck are cut into small
pieces, and covered with one quart
OF cold water, one-quartcr teaspoonful
OF salt (the salt is used 10 draw out
the juices, put on to simmer very
slowly for three hours. Strain through
fine strainer. and II 1t is to be used
at once. double piece OF cheeseclotn
and rinse II in ice cold water and
pour the broth through very slowly,
so the beads OF fat will cling to the
cloth. (There will be one and one
half cups OF broth) Or It can be
cooled quickly by placing the broth
in a quart mug in pan OF cracked
ice: then all particles Of fat can be
removed. The brother should be
clear: to It can be added two table.
spoons Of cooked cream barley. boiled
rice or farna.
A raw egg beaten until light. added
TO the hot broth. with little grated
nutmeg and little sprinkling OF
parsley makes It attractive.
For a change. separate the egg,
beat the yolk with one tablespoonful
Of cold milk then add the hot broth;
then whip the white of egg until dry,
First put the hot brother and egg yolk
into heated cup. then put the white OF
egg on top; sprinkle with little salt,
dust with paprika and very fine pars-
ley. The convalescent stlrs the white
of egg into the broth, which cooks II
just right. There are very many
ways to make change with the chick
en- broth, which l do not have room
to tell.
Beef or Lamb Broth (NOt Lamb Tea.)
Take one pound Of lean beef, top OF
sirloin, the stick piece or top OF round.
The meat is cut into small pieces, put
on with four cups of cold water, one
half teaspoon salt, over slow fire. For
Aavoring one can use tablespoon OF
cut carrot, celery or a little onion.
Simmer slowly three hours. Put
through stralner. but be sure all par
tcles of CONCEALED blood are rubbed
through. When cold remove all par
tlcles of fat; heat the broth and pre-
pare same as the chicken broth. One
half teaspoon OF caramel will add to
the attractiveness Of the broth. AL
ways serve very hot with piece OF
toast.
Still another way to serve the
broth is to beat a raw egg very care
fully into the warm cup, then fill the
cup with the hot broth. The egg Will
have set; then season and flavor 10
taste. This is very nutritious and
easily digested, served with either
zweibach, toast or pulled bread.
Lamb broth is made the same way.
Cream Soups.
Cream soups are very nutritious and
innumcrable kinds can be made. The
principle is the same with all. For
each, three-fourths cup Of full milk
mot milk with the top used for some
thing else). one-half cup Of cooked
vegetables such as celery, peas, cauli-
flower. carrot lettuce, spinach. onions
or leak. Cooked rice and cream OF
barley. oatmeal and other cooked GER
calls can be used. Mash the vegetables
or cereal through strainer into top
OF double boiler Cor saucepan which
can be placed over hot water), add
seasoning and one teaspoon Of melted
butter, in which stir one teaspoon OF
-four. Mix well, add to the soup and
simmer ten minutes. Serve with one
tablespoon toasted crotons.
Cereal must always be cooked a
long time; one can never cook it too
much. II orange juice Of grapefruit
has been served, would suggest not
using cream on the cereal, either a
little butter or fruit juice.
A pleasant change is just little
honey or pure maple sugar instead OF
sugar and milk We all know sugar,
cream or milk are the right things for
cereal, but not immoderatcly or with
the orange or grapefruit.
Orange Albumen
There Is nothing better than an
orange or a glass Of orange juice in
the morning, but give some minutes
before cereal is served. Orange is
also good between meals. Orange al
bumen, when ice cold, is one OF the
most refreshing and nourishing things
and is made as follows:
White OF one egg, a half cup OF
orange juice and sugar to taste; add
the juice to the egg white; stir until
we'll mixed, then add the orange,
