PROPER BALANCE
for Meatless Menus
BY Daniel Russell Hodgdon, Sc. D.

strongly alkaline and. like the
egg. adds valuable mineral matter
to the dinner.
Baked potatoes should always be
used with q fish dinner because
boiled potatoes will unhalance the
meal. both from the strongly acid
producing tendency OF the FISH
and its lack of mineral matter. A
baked potato or steamed potato.
with its skin on. is a neutral food.
which has a tendency TO offset the
acid property OF the fish.
Young carrots. green peas. a
combination salad and a piece OF
custard pie complete a very ex-
cellent well-balanced menu.
This dinner may have a light
soup IL desired to stimulated the
appetite.
The main thing TO remember
about vegetable dinners is that they
should contain plenty OF roughage
to prevent constipation. The soups
used should be thick. Puree
soups should never be considered
for a vegeta BILE dinner. In strain.
ing bean. pea. lentil. asparagus
and celery soups we remove the
valuable rouRhage and some of
the mineral matter much in the
same way the miller removes valu.
able mineral matter when he
makes white flour.
The chief thing TO remember
about the fish and vegetable din.
ner is to provide vegeta hles in such
a form as to offset the acid form.

These examples Of meatless din.

= HAVE recently been asked for
a balanced vegetable menu. /
L know little about specific
types Of diets such as vegetable
diets. There are persons who
eat as little meat as possible, and
certain rules should be followed
regarding such diets.
What is a well-balanced diet?
/ will give you a few examples.
You may want to try a vegetable
day sometime, even though you
serve meat almost every day. II
is well during the winter months
to have occasional vegetable davs
and to provide at such times we'll
balanced vegetable dinners, as too
much meat tends to produce acid
in the blood-stream. To a great
extent vegetable dinners should
be composed of either neutral or
alkaline-producing foods. Alkaline
conditions help guard against
colds. grip and influenza.
The best balanced vegetable
or meatless meal is obtained by
a menu consisting OF soup, two
vegetables. whole-wheat bread,
salad and a dessert.
For instance. a properly bal
anced vegetable dinner may be-
gin with a thick bean soup made
from dry white beans which have
been soaked overnight and boiled
for six hours. This soup. like DIN
er soups. should not be strained,
as the outer shell of the bean has
a definite food value, which. with
celery, provides mineral smatter
and roughage. Stuffed baked po-
tatoes. cauliflower and buttered
beets may be served next.
When using only two vege-
tables, the character Of these
vegetables should be as varied
as possible. For example. you
should never use two kinds of
root vegetables, such as turnips
and beets or two kinds of stem
vegetables. or flower vegetables
besides the potato or other starchy
vegetable.
whole-wheat bread or muffins
should be added to this dinner
and also a green or fruit salad.
A cup Of custard, prune whip.
charlotte russo. a baked apple
with cream. stewed figs or any
other stewed fruit may be served
for dessert.
Such a dinner is well balanced
from the standpoint OF mineral
matter and is largely either OF a
neutral Of alkaline nature.
Another example OF a well-bal-
anced meatless dinner Is one in
which fish is used. But as fish
is an acid-producing food. II should
be used with plenty Of alkaline
producing foods. For example,
egg. which is frequently used with
fish, is a neutral food-that is,
the egg Is neither acid nor aka
line because the yolk is alkaline
forming and the white is an acid
forming food.
Sometimes the housewife makes
q cream sauce Of milk, flour. but
ter and salt, which she pours over
fish. She then CRATES the yolk Of
q hard-boi1ed egg over the fish.
This is an excellent practice be
cause the egg yolk adds an aka.
line produoine food to the acid
producing fish and gives a very
good contrast In color to the dish.

NEW YORK CITY
DAY BY DAY
BY O. O. M'INTYRE.
NEW YORK, Dec. %.

A MOTHER boom in hotel
"a building has struck the Me-
L n tropolis. Ground is being
broken for the Roosevelt, a stones
throw from the Grand Central. 1t
will have LOO rooms. Two more
are being planned for the same
district just as large.
Just 100 years ago New York's
largest hotel had thirty-four rooms.
1t was considered too big and the
proprietor faced bankruptcy. The
office was noted for its big base
burner stove. Across the way was
a groggery where whiskey was so
cents a gallon.
OF course, 100 years is a long
time, but it is difficult to picture
the New York of that day. 1t was
a village Of lotteries and slave
sales. Debtors were jailed and the
most pretentious store in town
had a sign reading Don't whittle
around the front of this store"
At noon the people met at the
pump opposite st. Paul's to gossip
and quaff sparkling water from a
tin dipper. Coaches started for
Albany each morning at and the
town marshal was kept busy driv-
ing hogs from Broadway.
1t was a town without illumi-
nants-the gas company was Or
ganized two years later, and water
was brought from the upper island
in barrels. The sportiest place
was a little shack where turtle
was served on Saturday nights.
There are only two dozen busi-
ness houses that have survived
that period. Indeed, the history
has almost become extinct, so rap
idly has the march OF progress de-
voured the landmarks.
In that decade every street
lounger knew by sight the five
richest men in town-John Jacob
Astor, Robert Lenox, Stephen
Whitney. j. G.. Coster and Ma
thaniel Prime. Now, save for the
names of Astor and Whitney, few
New Workers could tell you what
they had to do with early history
making of the metropolis.
Still there is one custom at least
that has been handed down from
the New York of many years ago.
At the Castle Cave the other eve
ming l was served with fried oys-
ters, cooked on the half shell, siz-
zling in a plate filled with hot
sand. The proprietor tells me
that it was a favorite dish with
John Jacob Astor.
George Bailey, a shrewd column
list, tells me that you can always
interest readers with a bit Of Epi-
curean description. So, passing
from fried oysters, I hail a deli
cacy that is offered on the break
fast menu Of a Syrian cafe in Lex
ington avenue. 1t is fried country
sausage served with small pitcher
of sorghum molasses on the side.
One is supposed to pour the mo-
lasses over the sausage. Sounds
mussy, but 1t is delectable.
Broadway Is asking: Where's
Izzy?" The famous hooch hunter,
Izzy Einstein, has been conspicu-
Gus by his absence for many
weeks. Some say he Is working
out a new line of DISCUSSES and
that he will be crashing into the
first pages ere long. His picture
was appearing in too many news
papers and wherever he went he
was Immediately spotted.

Scientific Toy: aet

The late, Alexander Graham Bell,
inventor of the telephone, always
made it plain that credit for the COM
mercial development of his invention
and for the technical improvements
which have produced the instrument
of today is due to those who took up
his work when, soon after his pa
tents were issued he turned his en-
ergies in other directions. 1t must,
however, have afforded him no little
satisfaction to watch each succeed
ing decade furnish new refutation of
the prophecies of the practical bus
mess men" of the late seventies, who
predicted that his device would never
become more than an interesting
scientific toy"
From single pair Of crude instru-
ments in 1876 which = could barely
transmit the voice from one room to
another, he saw his "toy" grow into
vast system, uniting the CONNER
cial and social activities of an entire
nation. With this system, which ap-
propriately bears Bells name, over
13,800,006 telephone instruments
can be connected.

Red Cross Call For Clothing.

rIl A. call has come to the Iowa County
Red Cross, asking that clothing be
sent at once to meet the appalling
needs of the refugees in Greece. For
generations great Greek colony
has existed in and about the city of
SMYRNA, Asia Minor. AS result of
the recent war between Turks and
Greeks, the Greek Army has been
driven out of Turkey and an attempt
has been made by the Turks to force
the entire population of Asia Minor
out of that country.
The local Red Cross have asked
the assistance of committees from
each church in gathering and ship
ping as quickly as possible clothing
given by the people of this commun-
ity,. The types of clothing needed
are all kinds of warm, serviceable
clothing, including coats suits,
dresses, underclothing, stockings and
shoes for men, women and children,
with special need for women and chill
dren. Clothing if second handy should
be, cleaned and mended, before send
ing. Shoes should be low heeled and
should be put in repair and. tied in
pairs. New garments can be made
out of old clothing. The committees
Of, the local churches are: Miss Mary
Healy, Mrs. e. Y. Hutchinson, Miss
Lydia Stephens, Mrs. James. Brewer
and Mrs. Ben Miller. They will ap-
preciate having articles donated left
at Healy's poultry and egg store.
