fail to see why anyone should believe

10 AID VARIETY.

There are certain pork products we
should eat as q matter OF conserva-
ton. Such foods as pork liver, heart
and kidney should be added to the
average menu regularly to assure the
consumption Of these pork products
which cannot be shipped to our sol-
diers. Pigs ears and shouts, frozen
and delivered to your butcher in per-
feet condition. have been long used
by thrifty foreign housewives TO
make nutritious and tasty dishes.
Pigs ears with mustard sauce IS q
much esteemed deiicacy, and rightly
SO, as anyone who has partalSen Of Il
will admit. The ears-three will
make q good dish--are washed, cut
in two iengthwise and boiled until
tender In a quart Of sailed water
with . whole onion. @ few pepper
corps, bayleaf and q small sour APP
pie. In menu arranging there should
always be q proper connection be-
tween an acid food and pork. Sour
apples, tomatoes, canned or fresh,
or pineapple, makes an ideal, ac-
compartment. When the pigs, ears
are tender take them out OF the
liquor. cut into narrow strips and
allow 10 cool.
Strain the broth, thicken Il, add
two teaspoons OF dry mustard, a
teaspoon Of Beef Extract, two table,
spoons OF vinegar, salt and pepper.
Heat the pieces OF ears again in this
sauce and serve with garnish OF
hard boiled eggs.

Director Of settlement Work in
Chicago Finds Many Obtain But
One Hour Sleep In Twenty. Four.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Ths heaviest
food contracts in the history Of the
world have been let within recent
days to fourteen Of the great pack
ing houses Of the United States.
These large orders have necessitated
night work as well as the increas-
ed employment Of woman labor.
Miss Mary Mcdowell, director OF
the University Settlement work ct
the Chicago stockyards, also chair
man of the committee on Foreign
Born Women of the committee on
Women In Industry OF the Advisory
commission Of the Council OF Nation
al Defense. found on investigation
that many women were accepting
employment In the packing houses
for night work after their day OF la
Dor at home. with the consequence
that some Of them obtained one hour
Of sleep In the twenty-four. AS q
result OF her efforts to correct this
situation the packers have promised
not to employ women with children
under six years OF age for night
work.

Apples canned in this way are

for pies and sauce as new apples:
To one gallon of water add two
cups sugar. When boiling put in
apples which have been cut in thick
slices. Allow them to cook until well
heated through, but not soft. Put in
sterilized jars and fill to overlooking

more apples and proceed until water
is all used. One gallon Of water will

mines soluble in fat are essential to
growth.
Saving BY Substitution.
We are asked to conserve fats,
meats, wheat and sugar. We
can conserve our wheat by sub
stituting for IL other cereals to
any extent and not impair our
working efficiency. We must
save 125, 200, 900 bushels Of
wheat, and this can only be
done by replacing at least %
per cent Of our wheat with other
cereals.
Before the war we exported $780,
600. 900 pounds of meat products an
nually. Last year we exported L.
SOC, 600, 900 pounds, an increase Of L.
000, 900, 900 pounds. Owing to a de-
crease in the herds Of the allies they
will need more meat this year than
last, but we over-exported last so
that we do not have the same
amount to export this year. We are
excessive meat eaters, eating about
eight ounces OF pork and beef daily
per person. One-half OF this amount
would be sufficient II properly sup
poultry. What we are asked to do
is to save one ounce Of meat per day
per person. Milk constitutes one Of
the most perfect and essential Of
foods, yet 80 per cent Of 1t is used In
butter making and the skim milk
which contains the protein, q cost
ly factor in diet is wasted. A pound
OF cottage cheese contains nearly
as much nourishment as a pound OF
beefsteak.
In the use Of fats we are also
extravagant. We use more than
any other nation; nearly a half
more than Germany did before
the war three times as much as
Austria, and about double that
Of France. Instead OF three and
q half ounces, we can cut this
to two ounces with perfect safe
ty. We would then be using
twice what Austria used and
80 per cent more than France
used three years ago. Excess Of
fat in food leads to indigestion,
while lack OF 1t binders normal
growth in children, the main
tenance of health in adults, and
the repair Of tissues after
wounds.
Sugar Consumption Heavy.
Our normal sugar consumption Is
four ounces per day; Frances two
ounces. During the war, France has
reduced her consumption to one
ounce. We are asked to reduce our
consumption to three ounces, some
thing that is most reasonable. Sugar
is not an essential in diet like meat
and fats. 1t is a source OF energy
only, and can be replaced by starchy
foods without any detriment to the
bodily health. It lends palatability
to food. and its energy becomes more
easily available than that Of starch.
Since we can export only sugar, and
not molasses and syrups, 1t is pos
sIble for us to substitute for a large
part Of our sugar requirement mo-
lasses and corn syrup. The latter
il made from corn Of which we have
an abundance this year. It IS
glucose and is a perfectly whole
some food as It is made today. An
other place in which we can make a
large saving is by eliminat-
ing candy from our diet. This Is
place where the college students can
do their bit toward conserving
food, and at the same time contribute
to their own health.
