Will you tell me what kind of meal

/ think the secret of having good
food in fireless cooker lies first in
seasoning the food with extra care.
and, second, in having it piping hot
when it goes I'm. Because of the lack
OF active cooking, there Is danger of
the fireless cooker turning out some
what tasteless or insipid dishes. This
can be avoided by initial care in sea-
soning The second point in which
many uses of the fireless cooker fall
down is. as said before, in not having
the food sizzling hot when it goes into
the cooker. You probably know that
the cooking is carried on by means of
the heat generated when the food is
first put on the stove. 1t stands to
reason that unless the transfer from
stove to cooker is made as quickly as
possible some Of the precious heat will
be lost and the food will be lost in
consequence.
Do you approve of hot griddle cakes

them for him. The other day his sis

them, and / should like to have your

This question can only be answered
by knowing something about your hus-
bands general condition of weight,
age and occupation. If he is a young
man in normal health and engaged in
very active occupation, with consid-
cradle fresh air about him, he may
very safely eat the griddle cakes and
waffies These hot cakes are made Of
food materials that are high in energy.

foods do this. However. one who is
overweight requires minimum of

Safe reducing diets must furnish
building materials and regulators as
well as diets intended to maintain
normal weight or to increase weight.
Milk, eggs, meat, fish, green vege-
tables cooked and raw in salad forms,
fresh and canned fruits, whole-grain
breads and cereals, baked potato,
butter. cheese and even a few tea
spoons of sugar daily afford a list of
foods from which a nourishing and

Safe Reducing Diet.

The adult weight conference, called
last year by the officers of the Amer
lean Medical Association, appointed a
committee to evolve safe and health
full methods for reducing and increas-
ing weight. The committee believes
that it is possible to control weight
by diet. The heavyweight can safely
regain normal weight by diet. The
suggestions that have used for
weight reduction coincide with those
advocated by the eminent body Of
physicians.
There is no drastic cutting out Of
foods necessary to health. There are
three things which all adults must
have from the days food in order to
maintain health:
|. Building materials to build, main.
tain and keep in repair all the tissues
of the body. These materials are
supplied by the protein foods.
2. Regulators to keep all parts of
the body working smoothly and in
harmony and to regulate all its
activities. Foods with fiber, such as
fruits, vegetables and whole grains
supply the regulating material.
