Sister Mary Tells
How To Prepare
New Starchy Foods

(Unless otherwise specified, these
recipes are planned for four per-
sons).
More starchy foods are included
in the winter diet than in the spring
and summer meals.
Their function is to produce heat
and energy. Starchy foods must be
converted into sugar before they are
assimilated by the body and hence
are slowly ~digested.
It's rather interesting to know
that a person of good digestive and
! assimildtiye capacity who INDUCES
largely in starches becomes stout
while he who fails 10 digest them
| grows thin. The system seems to
become acid and the more he eats
the thinner he grows.
Most desserts are etarchy foods to
n certain extent. although the milk
and eggs add some protein to the
} dish. Rice, tapioca, sage. corn
starch, eoooanut and green bananas
are very starehy.
Maearoni and spaghetti and all of
that family are starchy foods and
should be served with their compost
ton in mind.
Potatoes, Hubbard squash. pars-
ilIe, iAPt Dtd llSf DNh5 anu ttilAAAS n
also starches.
In planning meals not more than
two starchy foods should be provid-
ed. SO If two starchy vegetables
accompany the meat the dessert
should be lacking in this element.
If a dinner consists of soup, meat,
potatoes and a green salad the des-
sert might well be of rice, tapioca or
| 1nH ddin rich In starch
This rice souffle should follow a
light meat course for a dinner or
figure as the main dish for luncheon.
Rice Soufne
Three tablespoons rice. Ia cup
milk, 2 eggs. 2 tablespoons sugar, /
tablespoon butter, n cup r%aisins, "
teaspoon vanilla.
Wash rice through several waters.
Add to one cup boiling water and
boil till tender. Drain and pour boil
: ing water over rice. Return to
saucepan with milk and cook until
milk is absorbed. Add butter, sugar
and a few grains of salt beaten with
yolks of eggs and cook three min
utes In double boiler. Remove from
fire and add r~aisins, seeded and
pumped in boiling water. Add van
lila and mix thoroughly. Beat whites
of eggs until stiff and dry and fold
into first mixture. Turn into a we'll
buttered baking dish and bake 20
minutes in a moderate oven. Serve
with hard sauce favored with van
lila and nutmeg and made soft with
a few tablespoons of whipped cream.
If a %sucoulent vegetable is served
! with the meat and the dessert is of
fruit the second starchy food may
appear in the salad.
Rice Salad
One and one-half cups carefully
cooked cold rice, l cup diced tart
apple, / cup diced celery, III cup nut
meats, boiled salad dressing.
The rice should be carefully boiled
and "huffed." Mix lightly with apple.
| celery and nuts and enough salad
dressing to make moist. Serve on
a bed of shredded lettuce with a
spoonful of currant jelly as a gar
nish.
Starchy foods create quick energy
but do not make muscle, supply re-
serve force and enrich the blood as
do the proteins, fats and minerals.
| But as more heat is needed during
| the winter months to combat the
cold weather starches play an impor-
tant part in the winter diet and must
not be neglected. They + one of
the cheapest foods and If used
wisely one OF the most valuable.

Mrs. Adams Denies
Any Mud Singing

CARTERET, Dec. 29.-Mrs. John
w. Adams, former chairman of the
Ladies' Democratic Organization, in
an interview yesterday afternoon
denied the printed reports that there
has been "mud-slinging" against the
Republicans, in the ranks of that or
ganized body. Mrs. Adams branded
the circulation of these JUNIORS as
false, declaring that since the form
alton of the club, the members have
been faithful to the Democratic
party, that they have always worked
In the interest of the Democrats,
that these women at no time to her
knowledge, showed any apathy
against the opposite political bodies.
The Democratic leader believed that
such reports wer merely fabricated
by a very few who probably do not
belong to the organization. II want
to defend my women, because they
have been sincere with me, they
have helped everything in the prog
ress of things and while no member
Of the club is directly accused of
these remarks 1 feel that no one
among our women has made them
Mrs. Adams said that the organ-
ization has been a very successful
one, and with in a short time oil
three years the small charter mem
bership grew to the high number Of
two hundred. She said that illness
and other business prevented her
from accepting the reelection of the
chair and believed that Mrs. Thomas
Currie, who has been chosen to sue
coed her, will lead the Democratic
in the right direction. Mrs,
Adams said that she will assist the
new chairman in whatever way she

continued as time goes on, among

hair. These threads are made from

NEW YORK-Albania, that little
Balkan state tucked away behind
the mountains and occupying a mod
est space on the map of the world,
contains the most beautiful women
on earth, according to Rose Wilder
Lane, author and traveller, who has
studied them for three years.
Here is Mrs. Lanes description oil
the type:
Brown hair. hazel or blue eyes
tapering fingers, almond nails, deli
cate wrists, slender ankles and regai
bearing"
That surely ought to arouse the
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-12-29

interest of sculptors. producers of
pretty girl reyues, n connoiseurs
OF femininity.
Their beauty Is probably due in
some measure TO their outdoor life"
Mrs. Lane attempts to explain.
"They walk up the mountains with
cradles on their backs, carry heavy
burdens on their heads and work
very hard"
But 1t is almost necessary to make
the trip to Albania to see these
lVenuses, because the Albanian wom-
an is not a traveller and she does
not marry outside her own race. No
matter where the Albanian mar may
go, he returns to his native land for
his bride.

more than / do, and 1 have written her acknowledging my fauftS,a ami
begging her forgiveness and promising to do everything possible to mako
her happy If she will come back. God knows there is n % sacrifice I would
not make for her, for | am a man who has been taught a bitter lesson,
and I have profited by it,
I believe that my wife would forgive me and that she would come
back to me If l could only speak will her, and tell her how repentant /
am. But her family will not let me have a word with her They will not
eve let her receive the letters that 1 write. Do you not think it is wron
for her family to try to separate us when there is a chance OF our making
up and being happy together? DESPERATE HUSBAND.

Naturally. when fathers and mothers see their beloved
daughter misreated by her husband, their first thought is to
snatch her away from him, and take her back to the safety of
the home nest. And in their rage against him who has hurt
and wounded their darling they magnify her wrongs, and do
and say all they can to ALLEVIATE her from him, and widen the
breach between them. 1t Is not often that you hear of the
parents trying to patch up a quarrel between their daugh-
ter and her husband.

IF fathers and mothers would counsel their children to
patience and forbearance, many a divorce would be averted.
If they would act as peacemakers, many an estranged hus-
band and wife would kiss and make up. For it is true that
the shock of the fear of losing a wife or husband wakes up
many a careless husband or wife and makes them realize
OF what priceless value is the love they have held so lightly.

Answer:
/ don't know, The question of what we should do with
these poor, helpless ones who lack energy and initiative is
a problem that troubles many women. Certainly If any thing
could rouse the latent manhood in n shift1ess man, it is for his
Wife to shut her door on him, and tell him that he must
either work or starve.
But often the neer-do-wel is a neer-do-wel because
nature left out of him the qualities that make for success
lie is n weakling who can never learn to stand alone and
all that a woman can do for him is just to pity him, and
care for him as she would for a little, helpless child And
whether it is any wife's duty to do this or not, only God
knows. NN

IL you have been neglectful and unkind enough to your
