MAKE MEAL APPETIzING ONE
Play an Important Part Right Now
When Americans Are Endeavoring
to Use Various Meat Substi-
tutes-Some Recipes.


Pickles have their own peculiar
place in the MENU although they pos
sess little food value. They stimulate
the appetite and especially now, when
Americans are endeavoring to use and
like the various meat substitute dishes
in place of the steaks and roasts of
other days, play an important part in
making the meal an appetizing one.
The following recipes are offered for
the benefit of those who have an abun-
dance Of green tomatoes from garden
or market In the late fall when they
must be saved from destruction by
frost. In all cases an effort has been
made to use corn sirups instead of
sugar as far as possible in pickles The
darker and less expensive sirups may
be liked equally well.
