food on the average American table.
In the restaurants there is a special
vegetable platter on every menu.
1t is in the rural home. however,
that the vegetable dinner should be
most popular, and for several reasons
besides the chief one that 1t is the
correct summer food. Primarily. the
vegetables can be picked fresh from
the garden, than which there Is no
more economical source of food sup
ply, Again they are easy to cook.
and the fire in the range can be
dampened off quickly which is an I'M
portant consideration in those less
fortunate rural houses where car
bide gas plant has not yet been in
stalled, and there Is no hot plate TO
take the place OF the range during
the summer months. Where a gas hot
plate is available, the summer cook
ing problem is as simple in the coun-
try as in the city.
An ideal vegetable dinner may
consist of the following: Dreamed po-
tatoes, green peas, asparagus, young
carrots, spinach and a poached egg.
It may be preceded by cantafoupe, or
berries and cream, and followed by a
light tomato and lettuce salad. A bit
of cream cheese completes very
tasty and nutritious meal. with either
iced or hot tea to follow. and OF the
two the hot tea is really more cooling.
This is a simple healthful dinner,
the chief ingredients of which are
vegetables, but much depends upon
the way in which 1t is served and
the skill with which 1t is prepared.
Vegetables often lose much OF their
value as well as their SAVIOUR by I'M
proper preparation and cooking.
Green vegetables. for instance,
should not be boiled for long PERIODS.
They should be immersed In rapidly
boiling water, whose boiling point has
been raised by the addition of salt,
tablespoonful to the quart, and cooKeo
or1v until tender and edible. If boiled
slowly and too long, they will lose
color and flavor. as yell as vaiuab bic

megahponed his message to the troops with
