OUen Meal Boon
To The Housewife

The oven cooked dinner is a real
J economy of the housewives time and
energy. The meal should be so plan
ned that all the different dishes are
such that they may be cooked at
the same temperature. 1t helps, too,
if the length of time required to
cook the different foods is about
the same. Of course there is no
valid reason why the article which
requires the longer time cannot be
put in ahead of the others. Inez S.
Wilson, home economist, picks the
following meat recipe as a very
good main dish for the oven-cOoked
mea.
Baked Round Steak
Have the round steak cut thick.
Scar until nicely Drowned in a
heavy frying-pan. Sprinkle with salt
and pepper and put 3 tablespoons of
butter on top the steak, together
with 8 tomatoes, peeled and sliced,
l green peper, chopped, table,
spoons tomato catsup, and l table
spoon chopped parsley. Put in a
moderate oven and bake until ten

Keep COWS Clean

Keep dairy cows clean if You want
a low bacterial count in your milk,
says the Bureau of Dairy Industry,
U. s. Department of Agriculture. in
an experiment in which open, ster-
ilized milk pals were used, samples
of fresh milk from uncleaned cows
had an ave. age bacterial count of
55,20S per cubic centimeter, while
samples of fresh milk from clean
cows with udders and teats washed
had an average count of only 4,947
bacteria per cubic centimeter. Cows
kept in stables need a thorough
grooming at least once a day. Clip
the long hairs from the udder and
hanks. Before milking, wipe the I'd
der, flanks, and belly with a clean,
damp cloth. Sufficient bedding, pro
per stable construction, and fire.
quent removal of manure also help
to keep cows clean.

DISEASE
NOT A DISGRACE
By Frederick w. Parsons, NJ. c.
Department of Mental Hygiene
Albany, New York

Those better informed no longer
! believe that mental disease carried
unpleasant implications or that the
insane are possessed of devils. but
some unfortunate ideas of mental
disease still prevail. Especially
harmful is the notion that mental
illness is a disgrace and that stig-
ma attaches to those who require
treatment in mental hospitals.
Mental disease is no more blame
worthy than physical disease. Most
physical disorders produce mental
symptoms such as irritability, pee
vishness, delirium, or depression,
and when these occur no one thinks
either of disgrace or stigma. In
what people call insanity the symp-
toms are, as a rule, eXaggeratiOns
of normal behavior or mood. Gener-
ally the condition comes on through
no direct act of the individual. Why,
then, the thought of reproach? Why
consider stigma?
Through education and experience
the people have corrected false
ideas regarding general hospitals.
They no longer dread them hut
make use of their facilities. with in
creasing frequency and with grow
ing confidence. No one thinks there
is odium attached to treatment in a
general hospital for surgical Oper-
ations, or for pneumonia, typhoid
fever, or other physical diseases.
Why should there be any such
thought regarding the treatment in
a hospital for mental diseases sim
ply because the sickness affects the
brain?
People now realize that mental
and physical disease are regTettable
conditions which should be pJevent-
ed, and that when they occur both
shuld be promptly treated and the
sufferer afforded every possible as
sistance, encouragement, and sup
port, and without thought of re-
proach in either condition.
False notions of mental disease
cause much unhappiness' to the fam
lilies of patients and result in posi- |
tive harm to the patients them
selves, for frequently needed help is
not promptly procured Secrecy and |
indecision often prevail and valu-
able time is lost by delay. Mental +
does not usually come out of
a clear sky. It's development is usu-
ally gradual and, as in tuberculosis,
early treatment produces the best
results. Seek your physicians ad-
vice without delay for yourself or
the individual in your family who
demonstrates early mental symp-
toms. In many cases serious at
lacks have been prevented because
the patient at the beginning of his
mental difficulty was wise enough or
fortunate enough, to obtain and fol-
ow sound advice.

NHE expression "cabbages and
kings" usually signifies a
wide scope of subjects, rang
ing from the lowly to the great.
If you lived in France and
we're addressed as mon chou"
(my cabbage), you would have no
reason to feel insulted, where
as, in America, we look upon the
cabbage as a lowly thing and a
person dubbed a cabbage-head as
even lowlier, in French mon
chou" is a term of endearment.
Perhaps the reason lies in the
TACT that to the French person,
avery vegetable-even those Of
the most humble origin-take
high rank among foods. Ameri-
cans, however, are more and more
coming to this opinion. Hence
the growing popularity of the
vegetable dinner, or the vegetable
plate as the main course of din
ner. One proof of its increasing
importance is the fact that most
dinner services now include COM
partment plates especially de-
signed to hold invitingly a variety
of vegetables.
Choosing Harmonious Vegetables
And what a glowing, tempting
assortment such a vegetable plate
presents if the vegetables are
chosen from the angle of the
artist and epicure! The first
requisite of a well-composed vege-
table dinner is that it displays an
attractive variety of color and
form, since foods must please the
eye before they pass palate in
spection. Secondly, they must
satisfy the taste; and thirdly,
they must afford pleasing and
healthfAl after-effects.
Does this sound complex? It
is most simple indeed. Let us
look first at color. For green.

VEGETABLES
IN THE DIET

The short supply of vegetables,
due to the drought this year, has
made a difficult problem for the
farm woman in planning meals that
will meet the food needs of her
family, says Miss Pearl Macdonald,
of the Extension Service of the Uni
versity of Delaware.
This is particularly true for the
family that either does not have the
money to buy fresh shipped in veg
etables or is not near enough to
centers where they may be bought
In various sections of the State
there are tomatoes that may be
conserved for winter use.
Some of the tomatoes may not
turn red before frost comes. If we'll
grown, they can be picked, wrapped
light brown paper and packed away
in cool, dry place. AS needed take
off the paper, place in sun or win
dow sill to ripen. 1t is possible to
put away. several baskets of tOma-
toes in this way and they will keep
with little loss.
The ripened tomatoes even
though they are small and are culls
can be gathered before frost
comes and be put up by the home
maker.
Tomatoes will help in solving the
food problem. They can take the
place of cabbage, oranges and other
citrus fruits in supplying vitamin
which is so important in promoting
and maintaining health and in pre-
venting scurvy. They are recon-
mended to be used in the diet three
or four times a week.

RURAL DISTRICTS
NOW TURNING TO
NARROW ROADS
Hard Surfaces, Nine And Ten Feet
Wide, Give Farmers Cheap Year
Round Marketing.
By E. E. Duffy

Since general business and farm
ing are so closely interlOcked, both
cities and rural communities are
watching with interest the trend to-
ward improving local roads.
Rural communities that have de-
veloped comprehensive road sys-
TENS have virtually become new
markets for manufactured products
which they formerly did without.
This means a higher standard of
living for the rural community.
On the other hand, the rural COM
munity is placed in year round
touch with markets and the best
price for farm produce is obtained.
A study made recently by Cornell
University revealed that farmers in
one community suffered losses OF
from 500 to $1,000 yearly through
inability to market produce, be-
cause of muddy roads, when prices
were best.
Chief among the steps that ru-
raj community may take is that of
hard surfacing highways. Where
funds and resources are somewhat
limited communities are building
nine or ten-foot concrete pavements.
These narrow pavements serve the
purpose admirably, and carry with
them the same economics that go
with concrete in 18, 40 and 60-fOot
widths.
Delaware, one of many states that
is building considerable mileages OF
these paved local roads, this year
awarded contracts for 25 miles of
single lane pavements. With sever
al score miles of these pavements |
in service, Delaware has found that
all upkeep costs per mile of pave
ment annually average about $100 a
mile, which includes upkeep of sur
face, bitches, shoulders and so on.
This is much less than for other
types of surfacing.
At first thought many believe
that the narrow pavement is made
uuate for modern traffic. But con-
sidering that there is little through
traffic on these roads, and that they
are designed to give year round
contact with aTterial highways and
mai hSJo, Tic WlubA - SOAA0ANSASN ~
highly satisfactory.
In this connection Chief Engineer
w. w. Mack, of Delaware, tells the
following story: 'In 1929 a delega-
tion appeared before the Highway
protesting against the
award of a single track concrete
road job. The Highway Commits
sion awarded the contract, and the
year the same delegation
was so pleased with the results that
they again appeared before the

creamed or all of them mashed.
If you favor fluffy mashed po-
tatoes-and they are hard 10
beat!-be sure to see also that
your carrots are cut in long thin
slivers and simmered golden
brown in butter, that your TO-
matoes are baked a jolly deep red,
and that your string beans are
scalloped in cream. There is a
great variety of ways to season
vegetables to make them pleas
ingly different.
"Dinner Is Served"
Suppose we plan to serve a din
ner that will be varied, colorful,
and dietetically correct. and we
feature as its main course an at
tractive vegetable plate. The in
PRODUCTION may be either a soup
-jellied, creamed or clear-or a
gay decorative canape. Fish, egg
or cheese are excellent choices
for canap6s, and a tiny cheese
rarebit served on circles OF
sauteed toast with a dash of
paprika is a perfect piece de re-
sistance.
For the main dish, or vegetable
plate, a harmonious trio would ne
pea croquettes, beets stuffed with
peas and lima beans, and sauteed
corn and pimiento. With this
sort of dinner it is not necessary
to serve a salad, but dessert may
add greatly to the meal. It may
be a fairly substantial dessert, and
it will be especially welcome if
it includes the sweet and fruit
quota of the meal. Among the
most popular desserts for vege-
tartan meals are berry shortcake,
made from either canned OF fresh
berries, fruit cobbler with nutmeg
sauce, or faky fruit pie, topped
with a generous serving Of
whipped crcam.F

The crown roast of pork or lamb
