MEALS IN WARM WEATHER
Gold Dishes May 6erMade just as Ap.
PetIzing as Hot Ones, and Are
More HeaIthfui.

IL you arrange to have cold sliced
meat three or four times week, see
that the rest Of the meal is light. But
on the days when you serve vegetable
dishes as the principal part Of the
menu make sure that the rest of the
meal provides sufficient nourishment
to even up the menu and make 1t as
a whole equal in value to meat meal.
For instance, you might have on
sunday, let us say, cold roast chicken
with mashed potatoes, sliced cucumber
salad and watermelon or berries. Mon
day night you might have cold chick
en- jelly soup, made from the chicken
carcass, cold baked macaroni and
cheese, with hot peas and potato
chips, tomato with mayonnaise salad
and good, nourishlng pudding with
plenty Of eggs and butter. Thus, in

made Of eggs and plenty Of olive oil.
and in the pudding, you provide,
enough nutrition to make up for the
difference in nutritlve values Of the
meat and the macaroni dish.
Other good substitutes for meat
dishes are rice souftle, spaghetti a
Pltalienne, cheese and rice baked, etc.
You will find that almost every kind
Of salad will be welcome in the warm
weather. When you make the salad
dressings do not be sparing with the
olive oil, for there Is even more nour-
ishment In real olive oil than there is
In meat.

To Cook Erash Eruif

Cooked fruits are especially good for
delicate appetites and digestion. Raw
fruits are for those who are stronger
and can get all the benefit from them
the benefit is diminished by cooking.
The best way Of cooking fruit is not
by boiling. but by simmering. In cook
ing very tender fvuit bring the sirup
TO the boiling point, then throw the
fruit In the hot sirup, cover tight, re-
move from the range or fire, and let 1t
stand for half an hour. This applies
particularly to berries.
TO prepare larger fruit, throw it in
boiling sirup, cover tight and leave it
i've minutes on the range; remove and
let 1T stand half an hour. One pound
OF sugar to one quart Of water, or a
pound to pound, is the usual allow
ance for the sirup.
