proper place In food values they will
no doubt continue to be wasted in
cooking
The failure of getting good results
from vegetable food may be with the
selection, for vegetables out of season
are neither economical nor satisfac-
tory: the flavor is usually in inverse
ratio to the cost. The best Of cook
ing and seasoning cannot supply the
lack of flavor.
Vegetables may be crisp and fresh
when brought from the market, but
by careless handling are wilted and
spoiled.
In the cooking of vegetables there
are few things to remember, first
IN retain all the mineral matter and
nutriment possible, to soften the cellu-
lose and to develop the flavor. making
them more paiatable.
Spinach cooked properly should be
well washed and cooked without the
addition of water or very little. This

fact. any of the delicately favored,
succulent vegetables. The season
ing Is another important item; the fla
vor should never be disguised by sea-
soning. Usually butter. pepper and
salt. not 100 much. is the best be-
cause it is the plainest.
To accomplish these results one
NAV use several methods: cook the
vegetable whole or in large pieces. to
cook with the skin on when possible,
,o cook in as small an amount of wa
ter as possible without burning, to
serve the water in a sauce with the
vegetable whenever possible. and to
saason after the vegetable has start
ad cooking SO that the salt does not
draw out the flavor.

cooked food of sufficient variety to
conform to the age and health of the
child is important enough for each
mother to give time and study to her
child's needs.
Broths of various kinds, as well as
purees of vegetables are good dishes
for children, with a slice or two Of
well buttered whole-wheat bread.
Well-cooked rice with no seasoning
but salt, served in good, rich milk, will
make satisfying meal. Rice COM
bined with sugar, eggs and milk makes
dessert which is safe and whole

Orange juice may be given quite a
young child, provided 1t is done be-
tween feelings. Scraped apple, stewed
figs and prunes without sugar, are all
good for the child. The natural crav-
ing for sweets may be satisfied by
giving a piece of wholesome candy
after a good meal. Never allow the
child's appetite to be cloyed by sweets
before a meal.

and being allowed to eat sweets.
For a child's supper dish there is
nothing that takes the place of good

The directors of the Norwegian
American line have prepared report
ON the business transacted during the
year 1915. This report shows large
increase In the volume of freight car
ried, but a decrease in the passenger
traffic. The latter fact is doubtless
due to the war and also to the fact
there has been no special attraction 10
lure Norwegians of America back to
their fatherland, such as the centen-
NAL exposition of 1914. The report
showed that the line had carried 240,-
600 tons of freight. exports and Inn
ports. of which $4,000 tons consisted
of flour and other food products. The
line had carried 1864 passengers dur
ing the year. OF whom 10.0s1 were
bound for America and 5.SSS came to
Norway. The number of passengers
carried the year preceding was 22,60s.
The falling off In the passenger traffic
is attributed to the war. The freight.
carrying capacity of the line suffered
severely in the loss Of the Trond-
hiemsfjord. which was torpedoed last
fall by German submarine. The com
pany now commands a total tonnage
OF 10000 tons. The construction OF
the third passenger ship of the line
