Cooking for Two.
Making Unpopular Foods Toothsome.

Making Unpopular Foods Toothsome.
Once upon a time there was q busy
distician who occupied her time in
helter- -skelter scurries from house to
house. Now the scurries were caused
by heavy traffic and the harried feel
ing that she must do her hurrying
outside the home! In other words.
when the dietitna- or "cookin' lady"
as she was often called. had full
schedule. she knew that she must
plan so as to allow plenty OF time
when she finally arrived at the tiny
rooms where her undernourished d
children lived. For was she not
charged with the task of making the
cheeks of those children blossom as
the rose? And did not this call for
ample time spent over instructing the
mothers in cooking their food?
So when one day she arrived to
refusing the rice. she asked why,
and was told that 1t was kinder
mashed" And it was. Soggy, sod
den, sad!
So the cooking lady set about max
ing that rice, or rather it's successor,
look inviting, and perhaps her ex-
perience may be Of interest to moth
ers In more prosperous homes.
First. get brown rice. Then soak
IL IOT three OF IOuT nOuESs ana tnen
| cook 1t in three times it's bulk Of
rapidly boiling salted water. Place
in a colander and wash away the
surplus starch. Serve very hot,
either as a cereal or vegetable, or as
the basis of a. simple dessert.
Another unpopular dish Is cabbage
Try boiling it in salted water and
serving 1t plain with sweet butter
or scalloped with white sauce and
Ae ~
lures q hope that from that day you
will have no more complaints!
Then there are carrots. How we
used to hate them when we were
very young! And yet only a little
care Is required to make them very
appetizing.
Select young and tender vegeta-
| bles and clean well. Remove the
skins after cooking in boiling salted
water. Slice and cook very slowly in
we'll seasoned milk. This will take
about half an hour. Remove from
fre and serve with a dash of sweet
pepper.
AS to bread pudding, it may be so
glorif1ed that it's own maker will
hardly recognize it.
Dry slices Of stale bread slowly in
the oven, crush with a rolling pin, and
you are ready for the pudding.
/ Stir some Of the crumbs through
a little melted butter, which is ready
to hand, in a small saucepan. and
place a layer of the buttered crumbs
| in the bottom of a baking dish. Then
add alternate layers of stewed can
ned berries. blackberries. blueberries.
or whatever you fancy, repeat until
dish is three quarters full, with a
layer of crumbs on top. Serve with
a foamy sauce, and you will hear no

Nutrition Nuggets.

TOO much of the wrong food" says
DR.. William Palmer Lucas, sis just as
unfortunate as too little of the right
kind" Remember this when you are
wondering whether it will harm Johnny
just this once to give him all he wants
of hearty meat and rich dessert
Remember that the calorie Is simply
a unit Of measure for energy derived
from food. This energy is obtained
through the sun, and 1t is made availa-
bic for children and adults alike by
means Of the cereals, fruits and vegeta-
bles. Indirectly. of course, this energy
is also derived from the flesh of animals
which have in their turn eaten Of the
vegetable foods.
Don't get the idea that a child's crav-
ings are a safe guide when 1t comes to
selecting his food. He may demand far
more candy, for example, than Is good
for him The main point is to train his
taste and to cultivate his powers Of
selection and resistance.
II you are seeking laxative foods for
children select from the following list ::
Bran mullins, entire wheat breads and
crackers, peanut butter. olive oil, apples
raisins, figs. dates. honey, spinach.
molasses, gingerbread. prunes and
grapes.
A child should be weighed at least
once in two months; monthly weighing
will be the better rule.
Among the signs Of malnutrition are
the following: Weight below or above
normal. height below or above normal,
overfatigue from slight exertion, poor
circulation, disturbed sleep. nervous
tension, slow mental processes or occa-
sionally acute mentality, poor digestion
and assimilation, low resistance to colds
and other Infections Remember that too
much food may cause malnutHtion just
as truly as too little.
Look to the formation Of good food
habits while the children are very young.
Such care will save untold misery and
Ill health In later years.
1t is worth while to spend considera-
BILE effort In rousing the individual
childs interest in right eating. If games
will do it. then by all means let there be
games; if something else will serve the
purpose, better adopt that plan.

BEDTIME STORIES 3! sr s1ssssg THsssg0"

and every time the latter turned to
see where the youngsters were the
smallest Otter would go bounding
along the trail. hurrying to catch up.
Her brother was more obedient. He
sometimes dropped behind, but never
as far behind as his sister. Mother
Otter, seeing the obedient young
Otter not far behind. would take II
for granted that his sister was no,
far behind him. and so after awhile
she became q little less watchful. The
smallest Otter soon discovered this,
and then she dropped farther back
than ever.
II can't get lost" she said to her
self. because all I have to do is to
follow this trail through the snow.
l don't care II they do get way ahead
/ can catch up any time by hurrying.
Now l wonder what this Is. am
sure I saw something move under
that little hemlock tree over to the
right"
She stopped and looked very hard
at the young hemlock tree. The
branches were bent down with snow.
She couldn't see under them. There
was nothing moving there now. She
Mrs. Otter were out OF sight. and
her brother was Just disappearing
over the top Of little ridge.
Tim sure I saw something move
over there" said the wilifuI young
Otter. looking back At the little hem
lock tree. 'I'm sure ! did. It won't
take but . minute to go over there
and find out. Mother has always said
that We should learn all we can. How
can ve learn II we don't try to fnd
out about things? There certainly
won't be any harm in looking under
that little tree"
Once more she glanced along the
trail. Her brother had disappeared
No one was in sight. Then she turned
and bounded through the snow to-
ward that little hemiock tree. She
was going to satisfy her curiosity.

MULCAHY.
vARiATfoN-Mulcahy.
RACIAL ORiGiN-irIsh.
SOUREE-A surname,

S0OHSE-% SuTndne.
If we were Just speculating,
according to the rules of English
spelling and pronunciation, and some
body handed US the Irish spelling of
this name to render into English,
we would probably call 1t "Malcatha''
or ''O'Malcatha," for the Irish form
Of the family or clan name is
''OMaolcatha."
However. the 9Th" here is not pro-
nounced like "th," but rather as ''h.' u
1t would be difficult, in fact, to fig
ure out in English spelling that
woul dgive the Irish pronunciation
any better than Mulcahy. providing
you give the "a" the short instead
Of the long sound. "Mul-cah-hy" is
a better pronunciation of this name
than "Mul-cay-hy." though the latter
Is the more usual, owing to the in
fiuence OF the English spelling.
Unlike most OF the Irish clan names
this one Is not SO old. It does not
date back further than about 1900
the sept originating as a branch OF
one Of the ''OMoore" clans, a cer-
tain John O'Moore having been nick
named "Maolcatha" or Champion of
Battle" And from this surname his
followers and descendants adopted
the name Of "O'Maolcatha-"

HOW 1T STARTED
Ivy and Holly.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

The ivy and the holly which enter
SO largely into our decorations at this
season are no exceptions to the fact
that most of our Christmas customs
are of pagan origin. Evergreens
adorned the temples and the homes of
the Romans during their Saturnalia:
also. they have come down to us di-
rectly from the dryad- -worshiping
Britons, who observed a yearly Win
ter festival at just this time.
AS a reminder to deck their homes
in evergreens. so that the sylvan
spirits might abide with them and
protect them against the blasts of
Winter, the Druid priests at this sea-
son sent to each hut in their vicinity
a spray of holly, ivy, laurel, box or
mistletoe.
When Christianity came the clergy
made strenuous efforts. we learn, 10
abolish the use OF these pagan sym
bols at Christmas time, particularly
to keep them out OF the churches, but
to no avail. And now II would not be
Christmas without the ivy and the
holly and the nistletoe.

REEKEEPING
HELD GOOD
FARM HELP

Devils Lake. n. d., Jan. 25.-"Bee-
keeping may we'll become part OF
the operations on the large farms of
the state" declared R. d. Webster,
bee specialist and entomologlst at the
North Dakota Agricultural college, IN
an address before farmers and bee
keepers, delivered this week at Devils
Lake.
Many farm managers on North Da-
kota farms are now considering the
place that beekeeping takes in the
farm operations, Mr.. Webster con-
tends. As an example he pointed to
the method of cutting sweet clover
at various times during the season so
that there would always be sweet
clover in blossom that would furnish
nectar for the searching bees.
Colorado has 100000 colonies of
bees that now produce total of
nearly 100000 pounds of honey, Mr..
Webster declared. North Dakota at
the present time has an acreage OF
sweet clover that would more than
take care OF an equal number OF
colonies, the cntomo!ogist believes.
He added, however, that the bust
ness of keeping bees ought to he con
sidcrcd as branch of agriculture
and highly specialized.
"Not every one can keep bees sue
ccssfully," he stated. "Not every one
who is now keeping bees is really
making a success OF ii. One must
have Il real liking for bees and must
conduct all operations on sound
"Most people who keep bees do so
as more or less of Il hobby. or the
whole number CT people in the unitei
States who are Keeping bees many do
not derive much income from the
production of honey. However. III
this stutcya small number of farmers
are actually receiving large share
of their income from this source.
