our mothers footsteps or even the
advice of the old cookbooks.
Boulllon cubes or meat extracts
added to vegetables, dried or fresh
viii give soup better than many
made from the stock pot, and with
no labor attached. One bouillon
cube to cup of water is used, and
no salt---they are very salty. It is
not to the clear meat soup that we
look for nourishment. 1t is mildly
stimulating only, but prepares the
stomach for the substantial food
which is to follow.
We do not mean to advise never
buying soup meat. There are times
when a soup bone cooked with a
variety of soup vegetables Cleft in"
makes soup an important part of a
meal. For nutriment we also serve
chowder or cream soups.
Cream Soups
Here is the place where it is we'll
to cook enough vegetables so that
some will be left over for soup the
next day, and thereby save time and
effort. A cream soup is quickly
made in this way:
Make a white sauce, using one
tablespoon of flour and one of butter
to each cup of milk. Flavor with
any cooked vegetable which has first
been passed through sieve, and add
pepper and salt. Or double the
amount of flour and butter, and to
each cup of white sauce use one cup
OF puree and the liquid in which the
vegetable was cooked.
Asparagus, celery, spinach, corn
and peas lend themselves especially
well to this. Milk, cream or evapo-
rated milk can be used in the white
sauce. In the case of the latter.
while it will give smooth, rich
body, we advise not using it unless
the vegetable flavor is strong enough
to mask the slightly Cooked" taste
OF the milk. There is an endless
variety of cream soups to be made.
all the way from chestnuts and
mushroom and those of delicate
favor to the strong and hardy onion
and cabbage.

really believe that canned foods are
nutritious and safe-that they can
be compared favorably with the
fresh?"
So just here we would like to saw
/. that no food industry is more care
fully and scientifically safeguarded
than the canned goods. The SOUPS
OF Leading brands are es 5seially we'll
made, and those housekeeping on a
small scale are missing the greatest
convenience when canned soups are
not kept in reserve.
In canned soups there is a great
variety. Most of these soups are
slightly condensed and the directions
call for an equal amount of water to
be added. This, however, often
stretches the number that may be
served until the product obtained is
thin and weak. If, instead of water
fresh or evaporated milk is used, the
soup is wonderfully improved. II
cream is used and a little added sea-
soning, such as celery or onion salt,
paprika, etc, you will have a super
soup with a rich, velvety body deli
clous enough to serve to any guest,
however discriminating or pam
pered. The tomato, pea and aspara-
gus are especially good and a. few
peas or noodles added and cream,
t1oated on top with a dash of paprika
give a company soup beyond criti-
clsm at short notice.
Soup Carn;shes
Croutons are used with all SOUPS
Sometimes these little cubes of
bread are buttered before toasting
but usually hot. An appetizing
variation will be found by cutting
the bread into finger lengths or rings
(use a doughnut cutter), dipping
INTO melted butter, sprinkling with
Parmesan cheese, then toasting. Or
the cheese can be sprinkled over the
soup.

Heat separately and combine lust
before serving.
Chowders
Akin to the cream soups is the
hearty chowder made Of fish. Sal
mon is especially good. Clam is per-
haps the favorite, but corn is not to
be overlooked. This is almost meal
by itself, and hearty one, as many
a camper will testify. Make the
chowder by first cutting the bacon
into small bits and frying out the
fat slowly. In this fat saute the
sliced onion, removing it before it
browns. While this is being done
the fish, or whatever is to be used.
should be simmering, not boiling:
then onion and bacon added; the no
tatoes, after being parboiled and
cubed, are dropped in, and the whole
slmmered until the potatoes are soft.
AHS Scdlueu MIX Is now added, salt
and pepper to taste, and just before
serving split crackers are scattered
on top.
Purees also belong to the "hearty
class" (By puree we mean the
thick cooked vegetable pulp after it
has been passed through a coarse
strainer.)
Sometimes these are cooked with
meat stock as when black bean
or split pea soup is planned to be
cooked with the ham bone after the
latter has made it's last appearance
on the table. Usually these purees
are so thick that no binder (butter
creamed with f1our) is needed, but if
no meat stock has been used the
binder will add richness as well as
body.

.TO TAKE ones spring tonic In
the shape of delicious fruits
and seasonable fresh vege-
tables is certainly not an unpleasant
task, and in the coming weeks
menus these same fruits and vege-
tables are generously used both as a
pleasing food and to replace the
spring cathartics of the medicine
chest. Dandelions, spinach, most of
the fresh green salads and the seal
lions no bigger than tiny marbles
should be eaten freely. They will
help to ward off that attack of
spring fever" far more than any
patent medicine.
Just at this season, without know
ing why, we all crave and need es-
pecially something fresh and green,
and good vegetable salad or cooked
green vegetable should be served
daily or oftener. Hive you ever
thought of serving chilled radishes,
a few leaves of crisp romaine or
watercress for breakfast? 1t may
seem like somewhat Of an innovation.
but the family will relish it and
probably eat more breakfast In con-
sequence. A good egg and romaine
sandwich with slices of broiled
bacon, as served on Thursday, is
novel breakfast-but a mighty good
one.
But natures tonics include not
only vegetables, but fruits as we'll.
The tart flavor of the rhubarb (our
lirst spring fruit) and the grape
iruit and orange are splendid ap-
petizers, and vitalizers, and when
1ombined with the vegetables al
ready mentioned they form health
jul group that spell less work for
ne doctors.
Fortunately, both the tonic vege-
ables and fruits are at their best
nd cheapest during April, and as
here are hundreds of ways of pre-
jiaring and serving them, they need
lever become monotonous.
