authorizes expenditure of $4,000, 900

Planning a Weeks Food

Cranberries are at the height of their
season now and, as they are compare
lively inexpensive, can be used in many
ways in the family meal plan. Their
attractive color and tart flavor make
them popular, and their mineral, acid
and sugar content give them food value.
In the menu they are used with duck
on Sunday, and in steamed pudding
served on Monday night. Cranberry
Juice is excellent to color or flavor gela-
tines; cranberry jelly makes a good
salad with celery and cream cheese;
or it may be mixed with cream cheese
aud a little whipped cream and frozen
to make one of the popular frozen
salads.
Cauliflower is one of our best Winter
vegetables; in buying 1t select a firm,
white head. Those that are brownish
are stale, and when the fiowerets are
coarse or loose the quality is poor
Soak cauliflower in cold salted water
for 80 minutes before cooking to keep
it white and to remove any little in
sects that may have gotten deep into

minutes for large head.

get that variation.
For mint jelly add to the apple juice
little green vegetable coloring to
make it good green. Just before
pouring into the jelly glasses add mint
flavor; or if it is possible to get fresh
mint leaves, cook them with the apple
Juice and strain the jelly into the
glasses in order to remove the leaves
One cup of mint leaves will give good
flavor to four cups of strained jelly
Juice.
Fancy apple jellies may be made by
dividing the apple juice and coloring
each part differently; one part green
for instance, one good red, and leav-
ing the other natural or adding little
yellow coloring. Glasses may be filled
with some of each color, allowing each
to set before adding the next. This
can easily be done by allowing about
an hour between the different boilings

If you have an electric table stove

attractively prepared at the table. In
this case be sure that all the ingredients
YOU need are gathered together on a
tray in a convenient place. It saves
time If you have supplies measured out

Fruit salad mixtures should be thor

by simply removing the boned sardines

There are so many uses for apple
jelly; 1t can be so easily made and IS
such an inexpensive product during the
Winter months when apples are cheap
and plentiful that all family store
closets should have a few dozen jars
OF apple jelly and its varieties on hand.
The apples best suited to making jelly
are those that are rather acid in char .
acter. The Red Astrachans, Winesaps,
Mcintosh, Northern Spy and red crap
apples make excellent Jelly. as they
have good color in addition to their
flavor. Greetings also give good jelly,
but are rather insipid in color; this.
however, can be remedied by the use
of little good vegetable coloring.
In making apple jelly select sound
apples, wash them and cut in quarters,
removing the stems and leaving or
the cores and skins. Put the appses
in a deep pan, add cold water to just
cover them, cover the saucepan and
boil until the apples are very tender
