none OF these were so difficult
that she could not feel that the
results were of her own handiwork
bought for her a few small
utensils such as workable double
boiler, small cake and pie-pans, a
glass casserole, and rolling pin.
None Of these was the very small

for freedom of motion and practical
use. The egg-beater was medium

bowls at first, instead of small
ones, and she used the large sur

AS a result Of the development of
real skill and knowledge in things
culinary, she Is becoming interested
in the simpler diet laws. One
happy result in this cooperative
menu planning has shown in The
whetting of her own rather meager
appetite. Now that she has not
only planned and perhaps helped
to purchase the materials for her

soup, wash the potatoes, and salt
the spinach, her enthusiasm for the

When hors d'oeuvres were ar

Rice the Ideal Food
For Delicate
StOmaclls

Rice is the most easiy diglested
of all cereals, says May Piper
Spear. the well.known writer on food
subjects. This makes it the ideal
food for people with delicate stom-
achs.
Potatoes, wheat bread and oat-
meal require three to three and one
half hours to digest. Rice digests
in one hour.
Rice is the principal article Of
diet for more than half of all the
people in the world. 1t is notable
that in those countries where people
practically live on rice, dyspepsia
and other forms of indigestion are
very rarely found.
Added to its quality of being so
easily digested, rice stands very high
in its nutritive content. 1t is a
strength-buiIding food Of the first
order, and all the more valuable be-
cause its nourishing elements can be
used by the body with so little bur.
den on the digestive organs"
The United States Department of
Agriculture says, Rice is easily and
thoroughly digested, and for this rea.
son is often recommended for chill
dren and invalids."
An Unusual Rice Dish-RisOtto
Wash cupful of rice well, drain
until very dry. Heat two table
spoons of olive oil in heavy frying
pan, add rice and cook, stirring con.
stantly until rice is golden. Cover
with contents of large can of to-
matoes, add chopped onions and green
pepper. cook over a very low flame
until rice is tender. Turn on serving
dish and sprinkle with grated
cheese. This is an exceptionally we'll
Favored dish and may take the place
of all other vegetables at the meal.
