GENERAL PRINCIPLES TO BE USED IN PLANNING AND PRE-
 PAIRING WAR MENUS.

l. Avoid fried foods. thereby con serving the fat supply and promoting greater ease of digestion.
 2. Use cooked breakfast foods such as mush, oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat, etc. fin the place of the more expensive prepared" foods. such as corn flakes, puffed rice, etc.
 3, Use skinned milk for the adults and whole milk for the chil. 1ren.
 4 Cook all vegetables so as to conserve the mineral. Cook potatoes with their jackets on. Never discard the liquor in which vegetables have been cooked. Use 1t for soups and white sauce.
 5. In preparing dried foods, wash them and put them to soak. When ready to cook, use the water for cook ing in which the soaking has taken place. Otherwise the food materials In the water in which the food is bumped are lost
 6. Meat should be used very spar ingly. The cheaper, tougher cuts may be purchased and ground in meat chopper at home. Do not buy the hamburger" or meat loaf" already prepared. Do not use veal or imma- ture poultry for foods. Instead, use fish, mature poultry, rabbits, etc, If one feels the need of meat Beans, peas, cheese. milk, eggs, nuts, etc, are he preferable substitutes.
 :. Use less wiIeat-if wheat flour is employed. use only the graham four made of the entire wheat grain. Shorts, middlings and bran make q very good bread
 s. Use less sugar. Leave cakes out d the menus, and especially the rich. frosted cakes. Use. instead hard fruit cookies containing raisins, pruues, iates, etc. which contain the natural ruit sugar.
