WAYS TO SERVE VEGETABLES
dren Than Complicated Ones
Like ScalIoping.

Vegetables may be served either
quite simply seasoned with salt or
with little milk, cream, or butter, to
improve or vary the flavor. Oil may
be used to dress green's instead Of but
ter. These simple methods are bet
ter for children than complicated ones
like frying or scalloping. For the
smallest children, chop finely such
vegetables as green's, and IL the
tougher portions Of other vegetables,
such as the skins of green peas, are
found to disagree with a child, re-
move them by putting the cooked
vegetable through a sieve. Do not
give small children such vegetables as
raw radishes or cucumbers, which
might easily be swallowed in large
pieces and not digest well.

[ tablespoon salt
Cook the pork in water until the
meat can be removed easily from the

broth to about a quart, or add water
enough to bring it up to this amount,
and cook the corn meal in it. Add the
meat, finely chopped, and the season

1 quart boiling water " pound yellow
| tablespoon salt corn meal
u cup milk u pound cheese
Into the boiling salted water pour
the corn meal slowly, stirring constant
ly, and allow it to boil for ten min
utes then add most of the cheese, and
cook for ten minutes more, or until
the cheese is melted. Add the milk
and cook for a few minutes. Pour into
a creased baking dish, and brown in
the oven. This dish is improved by
grating a little hard cheese over the
top just before it is baked.
This pudding can be cut into slices
when cold, and fried. This serves four

When muSh is called for in a recipe
the following method of preparing 1t,

stirring the meal into it:
Lumpless Corn-McaI Mush.
Put the corn meal, cold water and
salt together in the top of a double
boiler. No stirring is necessary. Put
the top of the double boiler into the
lower part and allow the mush to heat
slowly, cooking half an hour, or longer,
if convenient. Many persons cook it
for four hours. Just before serving
remove the top of the double boiler
from the lower part, and boil the mush
for two or three minutes. In boiling
1t at this time there is no danger that
1t will lump, and this extra cooking
improves the texture and the flavor.

Pick over the Goldfish and soak it to
remove salt, if necessary. Combine
the ingredients and drop by spoonfuls

MILK AS SOURCE OF
ENERGY AND PROTEIN
Each Child Should Have at Least
One Pint Each Day.
Digestive Organs Of Healthy Adult Do
Their Work Better With Some
Solid Food-VaIue of Milk ls
Shown in Table.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
1t is a commonplace saying that
milk is a perfect food. This may be
taken to mean, say specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, that it contains, first, materials
that children need for growth; second,
materials that young and old alike
need for the upkeep and repair of their
body machinery; and, third, materials
that all need for fuel, to provide them
with heat and with the energy neces
sary for work. Such a statement
should not be understood to mean that
milk has these ingredients in such pro-
portions that it can serve satisfac-
tOrily as an exclusive food for a grown
person or even for a child. To the
growing child, however, no other food
can satisfactorily replace milk as a
part of the diet. Each child should
take a full quart of milk each day if
possible, or at least pint without fail.
While healthy adult could live on
milk alone for a considerable time,
the digestive organs do their work bet
ter with at least some solid food. Too
large a quantity of milk alone-at least
four or five quarts day-would be re-
quired. Nevertheless, milk is much
more than a beverage. The following
table shows that milk ranks high
among our common food materials as
a source both of energy and of pro-
tein.
Protein and Energy Value Of Milk.
Protein Value Energy Value
/ quart (32 ounces) of l Of (32 ounces) of
milk contains as milk contains as
much protein as: much energy as:
ounces of sir 11.3 ounces of
loin steak sirloin steak
6 ounces of round 14.9 ounces OF
steak round steak
Sc ounces of fowl 14.5 ounces fowl
4.3 average eggs 9 average eggs
Milk and milk products can be used
interchangeably with meats and eggs
as a source of protein. A quart of
milk contains as much protein as five
ounces of dried beans or a twelve
ounce loaf of bread, and while the
legumes and cereals are considered
cheap source of protein it should be
remembered that their proteins are
not so completely utilized for tissue
building as those in milk, meat and
egg.

The intensely black inks have vari-

their pigment, and the vehicle in most
instances Is some type Of oil or var.
niSh. India ink is the name often ap-
piled to what is in reality Chinese
Ink. The best of this variety comes
from the Anhui province and is made
from the lamp black produced when
wood oil is slowly burned in one earth
enware vessel and the SCOT or lamp
black produced is collected on the
sides Of second jar placed above the
first. A paste is made with varnish
and pork fat and this is then mixed
with glue. Some ink is made from
the SCOT Of sesame or rapeseed oil,
hut in any case the paste Is pressed
into molds. There are, Of course,
many grades Of this ink, the lower
being made from the coarser SCOT and
glue. In 1918 the Chinese exported
$4,000 pounds of this ink.-Scientific
