THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by ANNE RITTENnousE
In Cooking Cereal.

The variety of food that we usually
call breakfast food" or cereal has
come into prime Importance since the
war forced certain changes of diet
upon us. Not long ago this sort of
food was known to great many per-
sons merely as an occasional dish of
cooked oatmeal served at breakfast.
Really. of course, the word cereal is a
misnomer since wheat even when
made into bread is a cereal food. AS
We use the term, of course, we usually
mean cereal that has simply been
cooked y. it'll water. or otherwise pre-
pared SO that it can be eaten with
milk, cream, sugar, syrup or some
other simple accompaniment.
The reason why this type of food is
so important now is because many
persons find it the most acceptabl
way to eat non-wheat cereals. If they
can't have wheaton bread they would
rather get along without any bread at
all, and take their rice, barley, rye,
corn or whatever substitute they Sc
Iect in the form of this type of food.
And as this is a very easily prepared
sort of food and one that is extremely
nourishing it isn't a bad idea. If we eat
cereal once day and enough potatoes
or other starchy vegetables we really
need not worry about eating war bread
at all
1t is especially desirable that cook
ed cereals should be properly cooked
to make them digestible and palatable.
Her; are some rules for this pro-
cedure:
With the exception of rice. all raw
cereals should be cooked one hour in
a double boiler or eight hours in a
fireless cooker to insure their being
thoroly done. Rice is the most quick
1y prepared of all raw cereals.
Cereals that have been partly cooked
in preparatio such as most trade
named breakfast foods, should be
cooked twenty minutes. Often direc-
tons for cooking intimate that a
always improved by a longer cooking
and in some cases the longer cooking
is necessary to make them thoroly u
gestible
Cereals that are thoroly cooked in
preparation and are to be served as
they come from the package are al
ways improved by crisping them in the
oven. A closed oven door will render
them soggy. Put them in a hot oven
and leave the door open in order to
permit the moisture absorbed from
them to escape.
A government bulletin on cereal
breakfast foods points out that one of
the chief purposes of cooking cereal is
undesirable bacteria or parasites o.
their eggs if accidentally present may
be rendered harmless"
For that reason a cereal that you
cook in your kitchen and that IS
brought direct from the kitchen to
your dining room without contact of
flies or any other contamination may
be regarded as one of the safest OF all
possible summer foods.

Novelty in Combining Checks.

There is always this hope for the
reporter of fashions; every one does
not know the same thing about clothes
at the same time. For instance, when
checks broke out like a plague in Par
Is. we who follow the fashion game
told the story at once; but for three
months there have remained great
Segments of women who treat a reDe-
tition of the fact as i bit of novel
news. Why? Because a Thousand
women wearing checked suits in Paris
do not create one-half the impr ,ssion
of five hundred American women
wearing the same thing. And natur-
ally. An invasion on our own lard is
quite different from an invasion on a
land three thousand miles away. It
Is only when a Paris fashion gels to
this country and begins to spread it
self over the continent that the mass
OF women realize that it is a fashion.
Now checks have come in here, and
they promise TO remain thruour the
autumn. The designers are rapidly
catching up with some of the caprices
of the French dressmakers and are
turning out novel combinations.
We may be exceedingly tired CT the
whole fashion by october. That is the
trouble N America. It is the. public
that demands new things, and there
arc so many of Us, and we like 20 cress
SO much, that VIC overdo a fashion in
a few weeks. But, while checks last
and at the present writing they are
only just beginning their wild career
in this country, let US talk about them.
Danger in Cutting Up the Figure.
1t is all very well to be capricious
with checks, as far as artistic merit
| goes, but what about the effect on the
| human figure? A gown in a plain LoI-
or can nave bias stripes diagonal
| pockets and square collars and cuffs
put when one comes to superinposius
! irregular lines, enc on the other. the
/ human figure is ept to be a caricature.

The favorite way Of combining
checks is to put a bias band across
the legitimate line of the design. Take
a frock which was worn at one OF the
Paris summer resorts, as a good idea
of what will be used in this country.
It is sketched today.
1t is an odd little gown for several
reasons. There is no coat, and vet,
there is a waistcoat, because the long
tUnic is open to simulate the front OF
a jacket and to allow the intrusion of
a tan-colored wajstcoat. The edge of
the tunic has a barrel-shaped bias
band stitched to it.
