] Ry ALBERT RARRETT SAYKES


In the practical pursuance Of the plan
to use more vegetables on your table
than ever before, to save meat. and
particularly wheat. you will wish to
extend your recipes for dishes that can
be made from vegetables out Of your
own war garden. Here II one salad
that is very good indeed:
Cook one cupful Of diced potatoes.
then half a cupful of diced carrot, half
a cupful Of peas. half a cupful of
shredded cooked string beans and half
a cupful Of diced beets. Now mix these
together with half a cupful OF French
dressing or boiled dressing. Serve
sarnished with parsley.
Using More Greens.
The healthfuiness and the delicious
ness of greens is not merely evident in
the springtime-when they're advised

What uses do You mako of beet green's.
Of dandelions, sorrel. onion tops, spinach
and the other greens of which you
known
Beet green's need only the addition Of
small amount of water. They should
be boiled about 10 minutes. Then drain,
chop. drain again and season with salt.
pepper and butter, adding If desired a
few drops of vinegar or lemon Juice.
Sorrel is delicious when cooked in the
same way and served with a cream
sauce.
Dandelions cooked for about IL min
utes and treated as are the other green's,
with perhaps the addition of a little
onion juice. or creamed. are exceedingly
good.

pieces. covered with boiling water and
