FOOD AND THRIFT IN THE HOME
A WEEKS FOOD

. Winter weather makes for keener
appetites and the necessity OF provid-
ing heartier foods, and more of them,
to fill the extra demands of the body
for heat and energy.
Most children delight in outdoor ex-
ercise, especially when there is snow
for Shedding and cold weather for skat-
ing. Mothers are perpetually aston
iShed at the huge amounts of food that
youngsters can consume at such times
and very often they hesitate to let
them have what they want for fear
they will overeat.
Normal children during their grow
ing period require as much food as
an adult, and when they are exercis-
ing SO strenuously their food require
ments often exceed those of the grown
ups.
In planning a weeks meals, take
the weather into consideration and
have provided plenty of the simple,
satisfying dishes that, as the old say
ing goes, stick to the ribs"
A pot roast for dinner on Sunday
is made from one of the less expensive
cuts of beef. Either chuck, bottom
round, or rump will prove satisfactory.
When this Is cooked long and slowly,
and served with plenty of gravy and
fluffy mashed potatoes, it provides one
of the most satisfying of meat dishes.
Buy a thick, chunky piece of meat
weighing about five pounds, Sprinkle
with flour, salt and pepper, and brown
quickly in two or three tablespoons of
fat in a large saucepan, turning the
meat from side to side until 1t Is
Drowned all over. Add three onions
cut in half, half a cup of diced celery,
two carrots two tablespoons of vinegar
and one and one-half cups of boiling
water. Cover closely and cook very
slowly for two and half to three
hours.
Hominy makes good variation in
the breakfast cereal line, and one that
many people do not make enough use
of. Either fine or the large hominy
may be used, and it can be quickly
cooked, II 1t is measured the night be-
fore and put into the double boiler
with the required amount Of water and

When you are buying a pot roast

to use in making vegetable soup served
for lunch on Tuesday. This should
contain as many vegetables as you can
get-carrots, turnips, onions, potatoes,
canned tomatoes, celery and cabbage
make good combination. Rice,
macaroni or noodles may be added for
thickening and also to supply more
nutritive value. A plate of very thick
vegetable soup is an excellent luncheon
food for this time Of year.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, January A.
Arthur Caesar, Dorothy Parker and Bob
Benchley are three new lights who are
giving the local repartee a fresh wallop,
infusing new spirit into Hollywood
whoopee and pNtting the noses of the
wits who have hourished in Movieland
these several years (on the same old
jokes out of joint.
Dorothy Parker received the most
abject recognition of her wit and talent.
Professional wits scintillated weakly.
The presence of a lady in much repute
for her rapier-like quality robbed the
comeback of some of the old kick.
Dumb beauties, accustomed to greet
ing one another with "Oh, hello; har
yuh?" couldn't. even get this conven-
The parties took on the air of straw
berry festival in that awful period be-
fore the creamed chicken is served, and
the ladies and gentlemen are forcibly
detached from their chaste and selec-
tive groupings and forced to mingle by
the socially and romantically inclined
hostess.
Dorothy Parker stood it at one party
as long as she could. Every one was
bowing and scraping and nobody would
move toward the dining room door, de-
spite the pitiful pleadings of the host
ess. Finally Dorothy approached two
ill-at-ease gentlemen who seemed to
be frozen in the tracks Of their own
politeness.
Come on. you So-and-So's! Get a
little action on this" said the lady
from New York
Hollywood laid back it's ears and set
aside It's fears. Familiar words on the

had by all, needless to say.
Arthur Caesar is writing for the
movies and in between studio hours Just
chatting to pass the time away. Much
OF his popularity is due to a keen mind
and an intriguing personality. More
than score of title writer's and gag
men have been seen furtively scratch
ing on their cuffs while lunching or
high-balling in Caesars presence. It's
a bad sign in Hollywood. 1t means the
chance remark has been high lacked
before you've had time to copyright it.
Too bad, brother. I used that one
in a gag line last week." said a wit to
one of these cuff writers. You should
have asked me before you marked the
linen all up"
Say, that was a good one. How did
1t get by me?" asked his studio SUPER
visor. who happened to be of the party.
1T didn't get by you. I'll use 1t to-
morrow" was the reply. MY sense of
humor doesn't notify me every time it's
going to spring fast one. and I'm not
grinding out laughs for the lunch and
laundry gang just yet.'

Measure and Weieht,

Although most recipes that are pub
liShed nowadays use standard cup
and tablespoon as measurements, never
theless we occasionally come across cook
books using the pound units for nieasur-
ing.
These same units are used in the
purchasing of food and very often the
inexperienced housewife is utterly. con-
fused as to the amounts she should
buy in order to make up a certain
recipe. She Is also confused when she
has to translate a recipe written in
ounces to cup or tablespoon measures.
For these reasons the following facts
will be useful for ready reference. Paste
them on a card and keep them in your
index or some other handy place.
Shelled almonds-A pound or
ounces equals l cupful.
Dried beans, white or lima pound
equals cupfuls.
String beans-34 pound as purchased,
equals l quart.
Butter pound equals cupful; /
ounce equals tablespoonfuls.
BreadcrumbS-3 ounces fine dry,
Cheese grated ounce hard dry,
equals II cupful.
Chicken--3is pounds fowl yields
about 4 cupfuls of cooked diced meat.
Chocolate ounce equals l square,
or tablespoonfuls grated.
Cocoa ounce equals 4 tablespoon
fuls.
Coffee, ground-1 pound equals cup
fuls. ounce equals S tableSpoonfuls.
Eggs-l pound equals 8-10.
FloIr-1 pound equals about cup

would suggest you 60 without any
perfume, until you can afford a really
expensive kind. Then buy small
bottle of this and use it SO sparingly
that you keep it years. You do not
really need perfume, but Of course it
is nice to have one for special occa-

II you can't afford a good scent, you

I'd suggest that you buy dozen or
so cheap wood coat hangers. You can
find excellent ones in the five and ten
cent store or in the cheap wooden
ware departments of the big shops.
Wind each hanger loosely with cotton,
and, laying each one on a sheet Of pa

the cotton thickly with the sachet. Then

Nutrition NUGGETS.

Sauerkraut is an old food that has
gained new lease on life through edu-
cational advertising. 1t is only q few
years ago that this wholesome dish was
frowned upon in polite society,"" Now
we find the leading hotels in the coun-
try featuring sauerkraut, listing sauer-
kraut juice among other appetizers and
reporting an increasing consumption by
their patrons.
According to recent bulletin of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture, We are now using more than
three and a half million dollars worth
of sauerkraut each year. If you are
fond of statistics, this represents ESQ.,
600 tons of cabbage. or one-seventh of
the entire cabbage crop of the Nation.
Sauerkraut is a wholesome and nu-
tritiouS food, being made from chopped
cabbage which has been allowed to

vegetable salts and vitamins, and in
addition supplies a large amount Of
the bulk that is necessary to encourage

activity in the classroom, or because
they are not used to being indoors. It
is also undoubtedly due in part to nerv-
BUSINESS or an overZealous attempt to
keep up with other children in school.
This IS the age also when children
are growing very rapidly, and the food
they eat is most vital consideration.
They must be tactfully coaxed. to eat
sufficient food and of the right kinds.
Milk Is necessary to supply good part
OF the growth elements. If they will
not drink it, remember that 1t is just
as good in the form of cream soups,

simple desserts, and that these when
appetizingly and attractively served
will often induce the child to eat.
Smoked fish offers good variety for
Winter meals and many people enjoy
its agreeable and distinctive flavor.
Among the best known are bloaters
smoked sturgeon, salmon, white fish,
f1nnan haddie and herring. All these
may be used in many ways as appe-
Tiers. hot dishes, sandwich filings and
salads.
Smoked fish retains all of the nu-
tritiye value Of the fresh fish so far rs
protein and mineral matter are con-
cerneo. Only the water is removed
Smoked fish is. therefore, a more con-
| centrated food than fresh fish, and the
water can be put back by soaking IL

soaked to freshen 1t somewhat before

DIET AND HEALTH
BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. d.
Must Reduce Sanely.

In order to reduce intelligently you
must have a knowledge OF the talOric
or energy value of foods and you must
limit your number of calorieS 50 that
your excess fat is called upon to sup
ply some of your energy needs. The
average height person of normal weight
of moderate physical activities needs
approximately 1900 calories day. If
you cut down 1000 calories a day
leaving 1,200-you will reduce on the
average of one-quarter of a pound q
day, or approximately two pounds
week, for you will cause your excess
fat to contribute 1000 c. And one
quarter of pound will be used up, for
one pound of fat gives of 1000 calories.
If you can increase your exercise and
other physical activities, you need not
limit your diet quite so much, for these
also use up calories. II you cannot
exercise and can walk, do walk at least
one hour day, for each hour you walk
will use up approximately 200 calories.
(You use 100 C. while sitting.) If you
walk briskly, you will use up 800 G.
When fat is burned completely in
the body it is broken down to carbon
dioxide (Which is eliminated by the
lungs) and water. Drink all the water
you want. 1t Is not fattening.
Today is the third day that those
of you who started after New Year day
to reduce have been on your liquid or
Semi.liquid diet.
Today am going to give you days
menu totaling 1900 C. Meanwhile, you
should go to bookstore or library and
get a good textbook on dietetics, which
gives caloric values of foods, so that
you can make out your own menus.
