ANSWERS TO FOOD QUESTIONS

YOU Will proba bly, choose an uncook d

fashioned cracked wheat. rolled oats
and barley porridgc are examples
of theses Marhine-cooke cereals.
the puffs, shreds, etc. are delicious
and valuable addition to the variety
of the diet, although they arc OF
course more expensive than those
prepared at home.
The vegetable for the younger chill
dren need not be expensive if you
plan very carefully and watch the
market For example. sifted spina CHI
and peas are ideal and as you know
may usually be secured at a moderate
cost. Canned peas may be used If the
season for fresh ones is over
We come next to the coarser vege-
able which will do nicely for the
older children. Here we have wider
range and as you know this type of
vegeta bic, including the beets and
other so-calied Winter vegetables, is
compa lively inexpensive.
The raw green vegetable or salad
Will, it is true. be A bit expensive.
Lettuce is availa Bile, however a good
portion of the year and a crisp salad
is essential to health. Lettuce may
be combined with diced apples, with
shredded or raw carrot. with cooke ed
cold spinach or even with cold bak ed
beans if you wish to make a hearty
salad for the older children.
Finally, the eggs will of course
for some time to come be expensive
II is important. however. to see that
the younger children have them at
least three times a. week, and every
day will be better. The less expensive
body building food for the older ones
would include a we'll broiIed chop, a
cereal dish into which cheese has
been grated. a bit of broiled or bak-
ed fish, but never fried meats or other
fried foods.
These suggestions have taken into
account the types of food which
furnish most for the least money and
the principles which I have outlined
will serve as a guide so that you need

One of the first things to attend
to is the matter of intestinal cleanli-

twice a day would be better. This

about by food alone and you may find
that it will be necessary to use min

And as for japanese orosnes, how
many of us are familiar with these

Below are a few recipes for pre-
pairing these less commonly known
members of the vegetable family.

sliced vegetable allow one cup OF

Have ready a buttered baking dish
and cover the bottom of dish with a

Scrape the vegetables and place in

~, as ] have known of cases where
it really disturbed the digestion. a
free use of hran-either one of the
preparations on the market which are
palatable as breakfast food or plain
bran added to the ordinary cereal
will help.
The condition to strive for is to
change the intestinal fora. In order
to do this such food must be ca.en as
will insure a growth of the normal and
protective bacteria These bacteria arc
in every healthy body and offer the
most effective means of Kidding the
body of the harmful bacteria which
exist because of disease conditions.
A diet that is made up of nom
poison forming foods and one which
is definitely laxative will often bring
about a decided lowering of the blood
pressure within a few days.
Now as to the diet. The meals
should be chosen from the following,
list: Vegetable soups made without
meat stock, toplatoes, celery. cucum-
bers shredded raw carrots, shredded
raw cabbage, olives, cereal, fakes and
putfs. bran, graham bread at least
"a hours old, bran gems or mullins,
fruit juices, cereal cchee, buttcrmilk,
fresh and stewed fruits, fruit gelatin,
ices and marmalade.
If you are able to procure special
buttermilk made with the acidophiluc
bacteria you will find this of very
great service. Ask at any good drug
store about 1t.
In the matter of tea and coffee, you
may probably find it difficult to pro-
cure cereal coffee and substitutes for
tea. In fact. if you are very depend
ent on these beverages, don't give them
Up all 1T once, as a complete with
drawal may be a strain on the heart.
Work toward a use of cereal coffee,
however, using your own judgment as
to when to discard coffee entirely.
Another problem will be body-build-
ing foods. Meat should be cut down
to the minimum, and IL you can eat
eggs and have sufficiently nourishing
diet you had better discard 1t alto
gethee.

In response to your letter asking

] can to help you. The fart that
YOU must plan carefully to max
both ends meet offers, | think, All
Interesting problem and 7 suggest
that you decide first of all to in
clude the following in your diet:
!. At least thres-fourths of 4
nuart of milk for each child. d quart
If possible.
2. Fruit juice for the Swear
old and some other kind Of fruit for
the others.
g. Some form of cereal for every
one.
4. A green vegetable for the three
younger children and one of the more
hearty vegetables such AS beets. car
rots and cabbage, for tho others.
). 4 raw vegetable for every one
except the Swear and. finally, an
egg each day for the Youngest two
and q. less expensive body building
food for the older ones.
Now this may all sound expe nsive
but suppose we take the Items sep
arately. SO far from being extrava-
CANT to purchase. milk is itself an
economy that you must plan care
fully for. Milk provides the needed
blood and hene making material SO
efficiently tk.t even if it were re-
tailed at price higher than the
present one mothers of young chill
dren could literally not afford to do
without 1t.
The fruit Juice for the youngest
child is another essential and while
oranges are during some parts OF
the year expensive we may suhsti-
tute tomato juice for the rum about
child at such times. Another mex
pensive fruit juice for this young
ster is prune juice, still another is
fresh apple juice and your decision
will be made according to the sea-
son of the year.
