Roast Leg of Lamb.

Choose a plump, well-fatted leg
weighing five to five and one-haif
pounds. Wipe it off with damp cloth
and rub salt over the outside. Dredge
with flour if you prefer 1t that way.
Then place the meat, bone side up,
in a heavy roasting pan, preferably on
rack, and put it in very hot oven.
If it is roasted in this position, the
thick part of the meat will be most
convenient for carving. Let the meat
stay at a high temperature for 20
minutes. or until it sears over, then
let the oven cool to moderate tenn
perature. Continue roasting for about
two and one-half hours, depending
upon the size of the leg. A general
rule is to allow Is minutes per pound,
counting out the time required for
soaring. Basic occasionally during
roasting, with the drippings, but do
not add water. Place five raw, peeled
onions around the meat when you put
it in the oven. Sprinkle the onions
with salt and very little flour.
Serve the meat piping hot.

Answer-You are about 20 pounds
too heavy, my dear. and should make
an effort to reduce. The excess
weight naturally collects on the alb
domen, because this part of the body
is not exercised. A good exercise for
reducing the abdomen may be done
while you lie on you back in bed.
Bend your right knee and double 1t
up on your chest if you can. Now
kick out vigorously with it and at
the same time draw up the left knee
on your chest. Kick out with your
left leg while drawing up your right.
Continue this hard kicking fifty times.
Rest. As you lie on your back raise
your head and shoulders This posi-
ton makes the abdominal muscle
tense. Now massage the abdomen
with a, deep, circular motion. Please

Nutrition Nuggets

IF Won have looked up the food
vaIne of some dish which you are
manning to serve and it seems TO
he low. do not think that the whole
story is told. When you study the
dish a little more you may find that
although the actual food value rep
resented is comparatively low, the
dish has other qualities which more
than make up for the deficiency. A
good illustration of this is the oyster.
For a long time it was thought that
while oysters are easily digested they
contain so little food value as to make
them very expensive. Then came
the time when scientists were adding
more and more to our knowledge OF
such foods and they found that a
very precious mineral salt, 1odln, is
present in rather large quantities III
oysters. Therefore, so far from oe'
ing an expensive food, oysters are
very valuable and give large returns
for the money expended.
Do not boil your vegetables unless
it is absolutely necessary. If they
are. save the liquor in which they
are cooked and add it to soup or
sauces. The ideal way Of cooking
vegetables so as to preserve their
food value is by steaming.
It is worth while for the housewife
to study the possibilities of combining
the salad and the dessert courses. For
example, a fruit salad being slightly
sweet and slightly tart takes the
place of both these courses, both in
satisfying qualities and in food value.
Other types of dishes that do double
duty are the various juices; fruit
sherbet that is served. perhaps,
with the meat course and which
makes the mere suggestion of des-
sert unnecessary. A little practice
will give the housewife consider
able skill in moving her foods about
in such a way as to suggest cul-
mary game of chest. When she
learns how to make skillful moves
she will be surprised to find that she
can often eliminate labor and add TO
both nourishment and enjoyment.
Instead of adding to the elaborate.
ness of meal by increasing the mum.
ber of dishes or courses, try concen.
trating on the accessories. Put as
much time as you can spare on think
ing up new ways of serving the plain
old-fashioned dishes. Give a thought
to garnishing. Add an extra course
now and then if you like, but for the
most part see what you can do with
a dish of appetizers, an artistic touch
with parsley or other garnishing herb
and unusual ways of placing the food
upon the dish and upon the table.
