Fill a deep pudding dish with 1 quart rhubarb. Add 1 cup sugar, orange peel, and E cup water. Cook 4 minutes on top of the stove. Place small rounded dough biscuits on top of the rhubarb and bake in a hot oven (4o0' F.) 10 to 12 minutes.
 Rhubarb is now in the market practically all the year, and so many people, especially men. are fon.. of appetizing and satisfying rhubarb desserts.
 An old cooking secret, recently rediscovered, is of importance to every woman-hanco also to every man and every child. Food scien- lists teach Us that vegetables are one of the three essential foods. Chil dteA and adults must eat plenti- fully of vegetables. A dash of sugar added to the vegetables while thev are cooking in little water works wonders with the vegetable favors. It does not make them taste sweet It makes these healthful foods so fresh, bright and delicious that rcople will eat enough of then? Serve at least two vegetables daily
 Use sugar in making stewed fruits delicious and in making appetizirc milk desserts. Fruits and milk arc the other two essential foods. Use q dash of sugar in preparing meat dishes and in making better gravies and sauces. A little sugar is the friend of good cookery. Good food promotes good health. The Sugar 'Nc flute.
