We all know that the beet is the
most time-consuming of vegetables
when it comes to cooking-they
take anywhere from forty-five
minutes to four hours to cook.
These were very small, tender,
sweet beets. In their dried form
they were over half sugar, and
when cooked they contained s to
10 per cent of sugar, good
record for real sugar beet. The
flavor was delicious and the texture
tender and free from fiber. Served
with hot butter no one could have

Dried Skim Milk, Sweet Condensed
Milk and a Delicious Cocoa
Mixture Easily Made Up

ton, as their usual morning fresh
milk! This we regard as a sincere
tribute to its quality, going beyond
what is claimed for it.
A Mixed Drink
AS climax we have the powdered
cocoa, SKINNED milk and suga-.
combination under the name of
"Choc-o-lett-" And it is a climax.
We approached this product not
without misgivings and some little
prejudice. The chemist allowed
that there was only 6 per cent of
cocoa fat in it, that it was over half
sugar, one-quarter cocoa and one
quarter skim milk powder. We
made it up with one tablespoon
OF the mixture to the cup. 1t dis
solves very easily in either hot or
cold water; no heating is necessary,
thus saving the undesirable effect of
the boiled milk. When served with
out any milk or cream, according to
directions. it had cocoa flavor and
was not too sweet, but it was thin
and watery and aroused no enthu-.
siasm. Then we made it up with
two level tablespoons to a cup Of
water, merely poured in little
evaporated milk or cream, as you
would into coffee, and behold, we
had beverage that was delicious,
with a strong chocolate, not cocoa,
favor, and a good body.
Again we tried the result on an
innocent passerby. A young ad-
advertising agent (who was not
handling the account, however)
tested it and said, This is bully"
He proceeded to drink three cupfuls
with great satisfaction. 1t was cold,
merely combining the water solution
of the chocolate and the evaporated
milk. Again a sincere and invol-
untary tribute to the high edibil-
ity' Of product whose main claim
we had thought was convenience.
Used in this way (some may
want little more sugar) this
makes the most convenient easily SOL
uble and finely favored drink that
we have ever come across for an

fence and advisability for a morn

bearer in these latter days and that
many OF the drying processes at low
heat do not discourage the vita
mines notably, SO that these pack
ages, As inches square and half an
men thick, are excellent as an easy
way of adding some fresh food
value to the dry ration of any one
who is living far from sources of
supply.
One of these cakes broken into
three quarts of boiling water and
ooiied for forty minutes, drained
chopped and served with white
sauce or with butter, vinegar and
cayenne, will serve four to six per-
sons at cost of about 8 cents a
portion. This product is chopped
rather finely and would be adj
mlrable for stews, soups, cabbage
gratin, etc, because of it's mild

look and listen" If nearly half of
this product is soluble, one should
not add so much water that it must
be drained off before serving. Four
cups of water would be better than
the experimental six cups used in
the laboratory. This should leave

Our hard-headed friend the cab
bage is 81 per cent water! Think
of that? So when you get it with
only 9 per cent Of water, as in this
case, you are saving about four
fifths of the bulk and weight of the
product in transportation and stor-
age, and putting it back when you
need it. There is more in this
new way of drying vegetables and
their role in meeting modern con-
ditions than meets the eye. House
keepers cannot afford in these
crowded days to ignore the COM
pactness and serviceability of the
dried foods.

1t was plain that the most efficient
cleaning was done with the machine,
under the edge of the nozzle, at o.
of an inch above the carpet.
This indicates that cleaning is
not only promoted by good air flow,
but also by the increased perimeter
Of the nozzle. In other words, a
long, narrow nozzle, given the same
cir flow, will do better work than a
deeper nozzle with more square
area. Also. It must be remembered
that, given the same fan power, de-
creasing the width of the nozzle in
creases the rate of air flow So a
long, narrow nozz.e has double ad-
vantage in efficiency up to certain
point.

the canned product. Here you have
milk with all the fat taken out and
dried-a most valuable food for
for every one but the baby, and a

all emergency uses. Remember al

what you use in cooking anyway,
