ALTERNATIVE FOODS.

There are any number of nutritious
alternative foods that the average
housewife has never made the ac-
quaintance of. 1t now behooves every
American woman to look well to the
ways of her household.
An alternative for the customary
heavy meat dish is recommended as
| one means of cutting down living costs
so long as we get the required
amount of food properties contained in
meat we will be well nourished In the
matter of present high prices, however,
be it remembered that rice and meat
were about the last articles to advance
in price. Any drastic change in the
diet of a normal person is mistake.
A man who has been doing big. vital
work on the regular meat diet Will be
found to do much inferior work if he
abstains from meat entirely. A once
or twice week abstinence, however,
may be beneficial.
Cheese. milk. fish and eggs give US
practically the same food value as meat.
casserole dish of rice. hominy or
stitute would serve as the main dish of
A meal. Melted cheese on toast also
serves as a satisfactory entree.
Peanut butter is also rich in fat and
protein and when an otherwise light
meal is served peanut butter sand
wioh will often give just the necessary
protein. /
Polished rice is generally recognized
as a substitute Tor potatoes. 1t does
more than act as substituted will
make the base OF the main dish Of the
meal 1t only needs the addition of
fat. This is readily supplied by max
ing rice dish favored with three or
four strips Of bacon or rice and ham
casserole dish.
Use drippinGs. Brush the pan in
sauteing. and even for shortening in
dark cakes.
Utilize every bit of good food.
chop alternative can often be made
from the left-overs Of yesterdays roast.
These can be put through the chopper.
seasoned and mixed with a thick white
sauce to which = teaspoon of extract OF
beef has been added. shaped as outlet
and fried in deep fat. Serve with
garnsh of parsley from the garden.
Use all the garden greens. To make
them especially tasty cook with slice
Of bacon or 4 ham bone
Beans make an entire meal Either
a thick bean soup or liberal helping
of pork and beans makes satisfying
meal.

Whole Wheat and

MAk-the two most per-
feet foods given to man.
Dietetic experts may quar-
rel about everything else,
but they are agreed on
this. The proper combina-
ton is Shredded Wheat
Biscuit with milk-the
greatest amount of protein
(the element that builds
muscular tissue) for the least
money. Two or three Of
these Biscuits with milk
make a nourishing breakfast
on which to start the days
work and they cost only a
few cents. A boon to the
housewife because they are
ready-cooked and ready-to-
eat. Delicious with berries
or other fruits. Made at

HOW TO SELECT FOODS.

The following suggestions on getting
the most for ones money are from De
partment Of Agriculture Farmers Bull

Use cereals (fiour. meal. cereal break
fast foods, etc.) freely. taking pains TO
prepare them with great care ana 10
vary the kind used from day to day IL
necessary to keep people from tirihs
of them.
Remember that quart Of whole
milk a dav for each child. to be used
as beverage and in cookery, Is hot
too much.
plan carefully both in buying and in
serving
DO not he ashamed to plan cIosely.
Thrift in food means providing enough
food. neither too little nor too mucn.
Notice carefully how much OF such
staples as flour, sugar, mix cookins
fat. etc. is used each week for a month,
and see if there are any ways OIL cut
ting down the quantity needed.
Buy on-perishable materials In guam,
titles if better prices can be secured
and there is good storage piaCe III
the home Neighbors can sometimes
club together to get lower rates.
Estimate carefully how much of any
material will be needed before laying
in a supply, then see that none Is
wasted by careless handling.
Try to make the dishes served or
such size that there will be enough to
satisfy the appetite of the family and
no unnecessary table and plate waste
DO not be above noticing Whether
anything disable is thrown away win
the garbage which always shows how
thriftily food is used in household
Many inexpensive materials can pc
made attractive and the diet can oe
pleasantly varied by wise use OF oii-
ferent fiavorings
"Finicky' tastes in food often proven
the use of many valuable materials
which might be the means of saving
money
Good food habits are an importsfn1
mart ~ personal hygiene and thrift.
Children get such habits by having
suitable amounts Of suitable FOODS
served to them and then being expected
to eat what is set before them
True economy lies not only IN puy-

fullest possible use Of what is bought,

A Few Questions.

Can you taste the difference in foods
fried in different fats? Pure leaf lard
imparts delightful and delicate flavor
all it's own. The less expensive yeRe-
table shortening is tasteless and i'm
parts no flavor. Either may be clarified
and used again.
Why is bacon an economical food .
Because 1t is very easily assimilated.
and is all food value. Then the drtp-
pings make splendid shortening.
Why 1t is so hard to bake with sour
milk? The average woman has trouble
in cooking with the above comb.na
ton because she does not know lust
how acid or sour the milk it. One-haJf
level teaspoon OF soda is enough for
milk that is thick. The average recine
calls for too much soda.
Why can peanut butter be used in
place of shortening? Peanut butter is
rich in fat and SO acts. in baking. as
shortening and fiavoring medium.
Why the long cooking of rolled oats
Various cereals are cooked to change
the starch to sugar. In rolled oats the
starch is packed in very compact and
it takes the long cooking to soften the
fibers and liDerate the starch

The Night Table.

The night able is not as well known
in bedroom lore as it might be, I
think. 1t Is such comfort to be able
after going to bed to read by the light
on the night table; and to be able to
stretch out a hand at midnight and
switch this same light on. On the
night table may be kept any of the
little things which might in any pos
sibility be needed during the night; a
light. clock. a carafe of drinking
hour.
The need of a low chair to be used
while putting on shoes has led to the

Dry vegetables and fruits for winter

foods before canning came into general

Three methods of drying have been
