-Four Tasty Ways to
Prepare Macaroni
--- By Sister Mary

Macaroni is an excellent starchy
food. 1t is easily digested very APP
petizlng and cheap. Considering
the number of Galleries per pound
as purchased, macaroni Is cheaper
than bread or potatoes.
Keep in mind that is a
starch classed under cereals When
serving it plain potatoes should not
be included in the meal. The des-
sert should not be of rice or tapioca
and the bread should be whole
wheat or bran.
Macaroni combined with milk and
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 sup
piled by a vegetable or c~ranberries
as a u or jelly.
A n%ourishing, we'll balanced menu
of which a dish Of macsroni is u
part might be worked u 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-
tions. Buttered carrots or cauli-
flower, spinach or brussels sprouts
might be substituted for the onions

salad might be of cabbage. Celery,
radishes or lettuce endive or ro-
maine as the salad do not 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.

pared in a number of ways, but
these two are very satisfactory.

will find that a mild cheese is pref
cradle to a strong cheese.
