A successful campaign for better
nourishment of adults as well as chill
dren is being conducted in Connecti-
cut, which the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture believes could
well be extended to other states. The
purpose of the campaign is to induce
people to add more milk and fibrous
material to the diet, with the result
that such ailments as headaches, con-
stipation, nervous irritability, and
other disorders, due to faulty food
habits may become less common. The
recipes on this page are being used
to introduce these much-needed food
substances into the bill of fare of
many families.
Cabbage, which is made up largely
of fibrous material, is inexpensive and
available to both rural and city dwell
ers Both milk and the vegetables
recommended in these recipes supply
the vitamins essential to good health.
Cream Soups.
General rules: These soups are
thickened by cooking butter and flour
together. This prevents a separation
of the thicker and thinner parts of the
soup and is called "binding."
Heat the butter until it bubbles, add
the flour and seasoning gradually and
stir until well mixed add the liquid
and cook until about the consistency
of good cream. Stir constantly. Add
the vegetable pulp and liquid and serve
hot. If too thick, thin with more milk.
Soda is added to tomatoes in
