- ROBABLY the most laborious work
al Housekeeping during the Summer
e the preparation OF meals. The
busting and other duties connected with
the care OF the house can be sighted. but
there seems no escape from the three
times-a-day task OF cooking
However these war days have fortu-
nately made 10 popular to serve fewer
courses AZ meal And the housewife who
has been reading Government Bulletins
and studying food values knows that IL
she follows the balanced meal" she can
provide meals that are easy 70 prepare
and vet give adequate nourishment. She
knows that. for instance. a simple meal
OF hard-boued eggs, lettuce. tomatoes war
bread and glass Of buttermlk will give
as much food value as a complicated.
"fussy" dinner OF meat, several vegetables
and dessert.
The first precept toward easier cooking
N hot weather is 70 follow the plan OF pre-
pairing all or part Of the evening meal
during The cool hours OF the early morning.
II is quite possible while clearing up the
the night dinner For instance II the din
ner should happen 20 re a roast. there is
no reason why this cannot be cooked In
The morning and either eaten cold or left
lying in the roasting pan 10 need only
final fifteen minutes heating
The great point IN favor OF this plan is
that the muss and disorder OF preparation
can al be done In the cool morning while
the woman has on her work clothes in
stead OF leaving It until afternoon when
she more often cares 70 be dressed up or
when the temperature IS higher. Again
such morning preparation enables her to
wash up The graters, meat choppers, cook
ing spoons. etc. thus minimizing the dish
washing at the end OF the day
Not only meat but all forms Of dessert
soup ste, can thus be pre-prepared II is
also Just as easy 10 cook vegetables in ad-
vance and have them ready for a final
ten minutes re-heating In a sauce or other
wise Similarly all salads are best pre-
pared early in the day, packed into parsin
paper and allowed 70 chill slowly

One Of the most pronounced de-
