Labels That Tell Only Half the Truth

TWO interesting decisions on what
must be told on the label have
come up recently, both illustrating
the same principle. Neither one
considers false statements on the
label--they require that the whole
truth about the food and it's origin
be told.

An appetizing and nutritious way
to prepare buttermilk for table use
IS to make buttermilk jelly. Boil
one quart of fresh buttermilk in
granite kettle, stirring occasionally
to avoid. curdling in Jumps. Mix IN
it enough rice flour {previously
molstened) to make a soft musn.
Beat in the yolk of an egg while
hot, two tablespoonsful of sugar and
pour into molds. Serve cold with
cream. Another variation is to
flavor with lemon and add half
cupful of chopped almonds instead
of the egg.
Buttermilk pie is preferable to u
usual custard pie, being pleasant
acid and more wholesome. 1t is pre-
pared the same, substituting butter
milk for sweet milk and adding 10
each cupful a heaping teaspoontnl OF
cornstarch. One egg to each pie Is
sufficient.
Buttermilk, too, is good for the

door has shrunk to an occasional
pot of parsley on the window sill
or lonely bunch Of chives mint in

and salt shakers on the shelf can hardly
carry the entire burden of making food

shake them, or, worse still, if she has
"a heavy hand with the salt" as the
saying goes.
