So much has been written about
the fickleness of Summer appetites
that it is necessary to keep this con-
stantly in mind in planning the Sum-
mer meals.
There is an attempt to vary the
tea served at luncheon by the use OF
fruit beverages. We may have such
variations as iced cocoa with mint,
gingerade, various lime drinks and
other fixes in which fruit juices are
combined with charged water. There
has been considerable said lately on
the matter Of food value Of carbonated
beverages, and it has been established
that these have particularly whole
some effect on the digestion during
the hot months.
Desserts have been kept simple, and
suggest that special attention be
given to the preparation of others not
mentioned in the recipes. Strawberry
cream, for example, Is very easy to
make, and either fresh or canned fruit
may be used. To prepare it, have
ready one and one-half tablespoons of
gelatin soaked in three tablespoons of
cold water and dissolved in one
quarter of q cup Of boiling water. To
this Is added a cup Of crushed straw
berry juice. When the mixture thick
ems, cup Of stiffiy beaten cream is
folded in, and sugar is added II de-
sired.
This is the season when eggs are
delicious and inexpensive. Savory
eggs are easily prepared as follows:

preserved in its former state for the
admiration and reverence of the ages.
Recent excavations have definitely
pointed out the Palace Of Caiaphas,
the Tomb of David, the Jews wailing
place. the place of the Last Supper
and Solomon's quarries. The city is
a mecca for Christians.

Nutrition Nuggets.

When baking bananas, if they are
not quite ripe remove the skins first
and basic with strip made with
sugar and water. Very ripe bananas
may be baked in the skins and these
will take the place of a vegetable,
whereas. the fruit prepared in the
first way will serve as a dessert.
Whichever way you serve bananas,
however, remember that they add APP
preciably to the food value of the
meal and plan the other foods in your
meal accordingly.
Get in the habit of treating nutri-
ton information relatively. In other
words, do not store away certain arbi.
trary facts in your mind as to whether
potatoes are fattening or fish is a
meat substitute. Learn to distin-
guish between the occasions when fish
may properly be served as a body
building food of a meal and when a
delicately broiled steak would better
fit the needs Of the occasion. Further
more, before consigning potatoes to
the outer darkness of fattening foods
learn something about their compost
ton. Remember that they are valu'
able for SO many reasons that we can
hardly afford to discard them. Learn
also the main principles of construct
ing a so-called reducing diet. With
these principles clearly in mind you
will not discard potatoes or any other
fattening food wholly. You will rather
continue to serve them, but in smaller
quantities.
If the physician has ordered a fluid
diet for some one who is convalescing
from an illness that has no digestive
complications, plan the diet like this:
Z am, one cup of coffee, about one
fourth milk; 8 am, an egg; IL am,
one cup Of broth; pm, a cup of milk
and cereal Cruel; pm, egg lemon.
ade; S pm, one cup of tea, about one
fourth milk; pm, one cup Of milk
cruel; IL PM. one cup of broth. This
schedule will give you an outline plan
on which to base fluid diets in gen.
eral.
Even when one is i'll enough to be
confined to bed a supply Of energy
must be kept up for the body. Simply
resting in bed, we are still using up
energy, although not so fast, Of
course, as when we are active. There
fore when you plan a sick PERSONS
diet attend first to the physicians pre-
scription as to what he may be
allowed and he must have and study
this prescription with the idea in
mind Of informing yourself as to how
much of his food must go simply to
repair of waste brought about by nor
NAL bodily processes. When you add
to this the realization that the bodily
waste brought about by illness must
also be made up you will see that the
problem of planning sickroom diets
is not simple one, Perhaps you will
resolve to study the question before
any one falls i'll again, so that next
time you will be better prepared.

FOOD AND THRIFT IN THE HOME
FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

Whatever you do, don't get into
the way of thinking that peanut but
ter is to be used only as spread for
bread. You may be surprised when I
tell you that you can use 1t in salads,
in combination with rice, to make a
delicious main dish for a vegetable
meal. You may add it in combination
with sweet potatoes. You may use
it in soup. You may add it to cereals.
AS If these were not enough sugges-
tions, peanut butter may be added to
baking powder bread dough, or bak-
ing powder biscuit dough. 1t may be
stirred into cookies. It may be
added to a fudge mixture. Finally, it
may take it's place as those ALSO pres
ent" in connecting different types Of
sandwich filings.
My purpose in running over this
list with suggestions is to emphasize
that we are apt to get in rut in using
food products that are especially
adapted to one certain purpose. If I
were thinking only of peanut butter
as a help in setting an attractive ia
BILE, it would be easy to see why a list
such as I have outlined would be help
full. My fixed purpose in this series,
however, is to lay emphasis on food
values and nutrition.
a salad IN which peanut butter Is
mixed in the dressing prepared for a
prune and celery mixture IS indeed
high in food value. The prunes and
celery contribute to the dietary indis-
pensable elements. When peanut
butter is added to the dressing, we
have tho energy of this salad in
creased several times.
Peanut butter mixed with Drowned
sweet potatoes gives to the potatoes
added fat and, therefore, energy value
that helps materially in balancing the
meal in this regard. In fact. the CHIEF
value Of peanut butter in such recipes
as 1 have indicated lies along several
lines. First, the indescribable, appe-
tiZing flavor which it adds to almost
any suitable combination may in itself
be direct aid to digestion. The Sec
ond point in its favor is the energy
which 1 have already mentioned.
Through it's fat content it gives
energy in an unusually digestive
form, and affords delightful variations
to the fat part Of any diet.
Finally, peanut butter adds lime,
phosphorus and iron-those indispen.
sable minerals which help to keep the
body we'll regulated.

Strawberries are holding to the

Cantaloupes are Is to 25 cents
apiece this week, whereas last week
the low price included 10 cents. The
melons, however, are somewhat larger
this week. Pineapples hold at 20 cents

Effect of Heat on Vitamins.

and which have not lost their vitamin
c content through ageing or whiting.
Because the effect of heat on the
vitamin G. of canned tomatoes is so
small that it is negligible they are
good source of G. whether cooked or
raw.
Cooked peas, string beans and
spinach lose their vitamin G under
heat action. 1t has been shown that
the commercial canning of peas,
spinach, string beans and cabbage
does not destroy the vitamin content
any more than home cooking does.
The first heating destroys vitamin c,
but A and B remain the same, whether
the product is cooked or canned at
home or in factory.
Therefore pressure cooking or com
mercial canning is no more destruc.
tive to the vitamins than is open
kettle cooking.
Vitamin A is very stable under
heat. Ordinary canning in a pressure
cooker or commercial canning does
not destroy vitamin A. However, vita
min B remains stable toward acid
but Is affected by alkalies. Therefore
baking soda will affect the vitamin
B content unfavorably.
Findlay said samples of Indian
lentils and peas kept for 80 years
still contained appreciate amounts of
vitamin B.
Nitzescu in 1923 observed that heat
ing grains at 100 degrees for an hour
destroys vitamin 3. Heating at 12O

oven has apparently no injurious
effect.
A boiling temperature for several
hours impairs but does not destroy
vitamins a and 3. For instance raw
spinach has standing of three
crosses under A, B and G in the
vitamin table. This shows that the
vitamin rating is very high. Cooked
spinach has three crosses for A and
b, but has completely lost c..
Canned spinach has only two crosses
under A and has lost both 3 and G..
Dried spinach has three crosses
under A, two for B and none for G.
By employing a variety of both
cooked and raw vegetables it Will
be possible to insure the inclusion
of these three important elements,
A, B and G, in the diet.

Is It possible to tell us in a few

do desire is a summary. il such a

Your question is perfectly reasonable
and I am glad to answer it, as I think
the answer will have practical bearing
on the problems of a number OF read
ers.
In order to be sure that the days
diet is adequate for all concerned, it
must include the following: First,
cereal food. This need not necessarily
take the form of breakfast porridge,
although this is included in this
group. BY cereal food 1 mean also
rice or tapioca which go into the SIM
pie buildings and the macaroni or
hominy that is served as vegetable.
Second. quart of milk a day for
each child and a pint for each adult.
Here again a little modification is
necessary. The milk need not be
taken as beverage. The days quota
may include milk used in ice creams,
buildings. creamed soups and other
simple dishes.
Third, fruit juices or fresh or dried
fruit, the standbys being apples,
prunes, dates, raisins and figs, oranges
in season and melons in season, Der.
ries and peaches.
Fourth, at least one green vege'
table, preferably two, the list to include
spinach, cabbage, celery, onions, peas
and beans. In Wintertime this list IS

Sixth, fresh butter, olive oil and pea.
nut butter as spread for bread, with
margarin and other cooking fats used
in proper quantities when preparing
the dishes that make up the family
diet.
Is there such thing as getting
used to kind Of diet so that it will
taste good and be good for us? My
sister has a friend who has just come
from one of the European countries
where food extremes are quite differ
ent from ours. She finds our Ameri-
can cookery very distasteful. AS she
is my sisters guest, we all are nat
urally interested to see that she is
made comfortable and that she enjoys
her meals.-L. r.
1t is quite possible to become ac-
customed to diet that is different
from one which we have been using.
I On the other hand, habit is a strong
and compelling force and it is ill-ad-
vised to try to force too radical a
change in diet within very short
time. I have had considerable ex-
perience with the diet problems of
women whose early lives have been
spent in other countries and feel
rather strongly about this question.
For example, consider it a mistake
to try to "Americanize" a diet too
abruptly. Our American diet habits
have grown up naturally in the con-
ditions for which they are best suited
and those who have lived in other
environments have naturally had the
| same experience.
| My advice to your sister is this:
Since her guest is to remain for a
long time and perhaps permanently,
| why not suggest that your sister talk
| the whole matter over with her.
am confident that your sister will find
that her guest will have many sug-
gestions to make to her that will add
both nourishment and attractiveness
| to the ordinary meals. Then, in re-
turn, your sister can suggest special
American dishes which would seem
to be most easily assimilated. BY
such an exchange of experiences
think that a composite diet may be
| worked out which will be a distinct
boon to your sisters family and at
the same time satisfactory to the more
or less permanent guest.
