Minnesota. Mississippi. Montana. Nevada New

In the following states both either voted

Home Preparedness
No. 2---the Kitchen the
First Line Trench
By Carl Vrooman

assistant Secretary of Agricultural
>hember Of the National Emergency
Food Garden Commission)
Washington, April 5.-The domestic
life Of u modern army should be an ex-
ample to every American housewife. in
the army the ration is well balanced,
the cheapest, nutritious and palatable
foods are purchased, and the most Geo
nomical means of preparing them are
used.
1t is patriotic duty at this time
and all the time, whether there is war
or peace, for every American woman,
rich or poor, to keep her home "pre-
pared. Home preparedness means sub
sutution Of cheap, appetizing dishes
for costly foods practical, elimination
OF waste, and scientifically balanced
rations.
lhere are two great groups of foods
that enter into balanced human ma
tion-the protein group, like meats,
eggs and beans, and the starch group,
such as potatoes, rice, cereals, bread,
etc. The protein foods as rule are
more expensive than the starchy foods.
Some protein foods, however, are cheap
The prime factor is economy in foods
is the choice Of protein foods that are
at the same time cheap and pslatable.
\ cheap food, rich in protein and
fats is the ordinary field soy bean, of
ten sold under the name "Togo bean. -
Ten cents worth at the price of Is
cents quart will supply over ounces
OF protein, while average beef at 20
cents pound will supply little over |
ounce OF protein for the same money.
Excellent soups can be made from
the water in which SOY beans are cook
ed, as well as from the water in which
most vegetables are boiled. Save also
vegetable tops, skim milk, bones and
meat scraps for soups Make the butch
er give you all the fat that he wighs
with your cut of meat-it s valuable
grease.
Don t depend on one kind of food.
When potatoes are dear remember that
| mound OF dry corn meal provides
about times as much fuel or energy
and times as much tissue building
protein as | pound of raw potatoes and
cost from one third to one sixth as
much.
Raisins are rich in sugar, mineral
salts, and the natural grape acids ana
their cost is low.
Whole wheat, cooked till it bursts
open, or cracked in little $3.50 hand
mill is one of the most delicious and
breakfast foods known
and inexpensive even at the present
high price of wheat.
Save fuel and labor by making hot
breads only when using your fire for
the cooking of other foods Avoid the
danger of overlooking, and conserve the
flavor of your dinner by using fire
less cooker. You can make a good one
yourself very cheaply.
BY such eXpedients as these every
woman can prepare her home not
only against war but also against sick
ness and hard times.
