-Four lasty Ways to
Prepare Macaroni
---- By Sister MARY

- by OlSlef WARY
Macaroni is an excellent starchy
rood. 1t is easily digested very APP
petlzlng and cheap. Considering
the number of Galleries per pound
as purchased, macaronl Is cheaper
than bread Or potatoes.
Keep in mind that macaroni is a
starch classed under cereals. When
serving it plain potatoes should not
be included in the meal. The des-
eert should not be OF rice or taploca
ana the bread mould be whole
wheat or bran.
Macaroni combined with milk ana
cheese provide the same nourish-
ment as meat and potatoes. BY this
l DO not mean just enough cheese
to give a rich flavor but a large
amount of cheese comparatively
speaking. Cheese is a concentrated
food somewhat lacking In iron but
rich in lime. The iron can be sun
piled by a vegetable or cranberries
as a sauce or jelly.
A nourishing, we'll balanced menu
of which a dish of maceront is u
part might be worked out something
like this:
Menu
Tomato Bouillon
Toasted Bread Sticks
Macaroni and Cheese
Baked Onions
Lettuce and Tomato Salad
Bran Bread
Grapes Coffee
This menu is a suggestion that
may help in making other combina-
tons. Buttered carrots or cauli-
flower, spinach or brussels sprouts
might be substituted for the onions
If carrots or spinach are used the
salad might be of cabbage. Celery,
radishes or lettnra endive or ro-
maine as the salad do moi repeat
the taste of brussels sprouts or cauli
flower and furnish valuable mineral
salts as well as adding bulk TO the
meal.
Any fruit raw or canned Is COM
pataole with the rest of the menu.
Macaroni and cheese can be prn
pareC in a number of WAYS. but
these two are very satisfactory.

ronl, Italian style, the ham is used
for flavoring. If yous must serve a
hot dish at noon time TO a large
number of people this dish is all
that could be desired. So many
limit their luncheon menus to
three or four dishes that the main
dish must be nourishing and a full
meal in itself.
