the Crow had advised him to do. He
did his best to muster sufficient cour-
age to try his. sharp teeth on that
aching leg, but 1t was of no use. He
tried to pull, but that hurt too much.
His brothers and sister and his mother,
didn't help him any. He didn't feel
any better for their coming. Mrs. Jerry
urged him to do just what Jerry had
advised him to do She remained
near after the others had gone back
to the Smiling Pool, but there was
nothing she could do to help excepting
to keep watch.
So the long day passed, the longest
day the young Muskrat ever had
known. It was day of misery, a day
OF suffering and terror and hopeless
fright. 1t was getting almost time for
the Black Shadows TO come creeping
out from the Purple Hills. That boy
who had set that dreadful trap had
not come to see II any one had been
caught In IT, He had been busy about
other things. When he thought Of
that trap it was to say to himself:
IF anything has been caught in it
it win be there when / get time to
go over there" He didn't once think
of the suffering of the little victim Of
that trap. He was cruel. dreadfully
cruel, without meaning to be or realiz-
ing that he was. You see, he was
thoughtless Thoughtlessness often
leads to great cruelty. 1t was not until

CHEESE MAKING
SECRETS

Except for the small amount of
cheese made in isolated countries,
cows milk now supplies all of the
curd for the manufacture of
cheese.
Dairy countries are usually
cheese producing countries.
The simplest illustration of the
manufacture Of cheese is the ordin-
ary household process of making
cottage cheese. The casein is
pressed out of the milk by the nat
ural process of souring hastened
with heat, and the liquid is drained
off. The caSein or the white solid
portion is called the curd and the
liquid is referred to as the whey.
The liquid consists of the water
from the milk as we'll as all sol
uble materials which includes min
erals and carbohydrates. The curd
may be pure protein or it may con-
tain entangled in its meshes some
fat globules, depending on the
amount of fat in the milk.
Cheese made from whole milk
naturally contains more fat than
that prepared from skim milk.

FOOD VALUE Of
EGGS GIVEN

Eggs have always been consid-
cred an important source of food.
They are valuable not only as
source Of readily available pro-
tein, fat and minerals such as
phosphorus, sulphur and iron, but
also for their vitamin content.
The yolk of egg is as ruch. a
source of fat soluable A as butter
fat, and also contains water
Solubles B and c in considerable
amounts.
The easy digestibility of raw
or soft cooked eggs has made this
form of food favorite for the
dietary of small children and con-
valescents. Hard cooked eggs are
less digeStible simply because they
are in a state which requires
more thorough mastication, or me-
chanical separation into small
particles so that the digestive
juices can act more readily.

FLAVOR The
FOOD!" URGE
DOCTORS
No Need for Wholesome Foods
to be Unpalatable

Doctors are not as severe regard
ing diet as they are often charged
with being. To be sure they insist
that wholesome foods be eaten and
emphatically advocate a balanced
diet. But they do not oppose max
ing foods palatable.
In fiavoring vegetables, or modi-
flying the sharpness of certain
fruits, doctors and dietitians recon-
mend the use of sugar. A dash of
sugar on cereal is also permitted.
Such use of sugar increases the
value of the wholesome, body-build-
ing nutrients in the food thus
favored.
A dash of sugar to a pinch of salt
is popular rule to follow in season.
ing peas, carrots, spinach, and
string beans. 1t is surprising how
the sugar in this mixture maintains
the delicious flavor these vegetables
have when fresh-picked.
These suggestions regarding
sugar apply to children's diet as
well as adults. Good food promotes
health. Most foods are more de-
licious and nourishing with sugar.

ORIENTAL MENUS
FOR ECONOMY

There Is a notion, oil TOO
prevalent among large major
ity of housewives, that foreign
food is "fussy" as to preparation,
and that the ingredients are ex-
pensive and difficult to procure.
But If we will only to stop to
consider that virtually all of the
national family dishes of the Old
World have been developed out of
the eXigencieS of stark famine,
such as we have never known,
there ought to be for us an eco
nomic urge toward some practi-
cal research into the secrets Of
generations of European and
Oriental cooking.
The two foodstuffs most COM
monty used by the family cooks
of Turkey and Armenia are lamb
or "Shish," and rice or "pilaff." !"
Around these as a foundation
their menus are built. Here is a
typical menu costing far less than
the all-American stake dinner:
Turkish Soup Black Olives
Patl- jan ShiSh- Kebab
Casserole of Lamb, Eggplant
and Leeks)
PiIaff Glazed ApricOts
The Turkish Soup is simply a
carefully prepared lamb or
chicken broth seasoned with just
a dash of thyme and allspice.
The flavor is often varied by
blending with six cupfuls of hot
broth, a slightly beaten egg to
which the juice Of a small lemon
has been added.
PatLjan-Shish-Kebab
Purchase two and one-half
pounds of boned, lean, stewing
lamb, saving the bones for the
stock. Put the bones and scraps
in a kettle with water to cover
and simmer for stock for the
"pilaff." Cut the boned lamb
into inch chunks. thread three or
four on each skewer (wooden
Skewers may be procured from
the butcher) and dredge with
flour, salt and pepper. To a hot
skillet, add shaving of garlic,
a few slices of onion and four
tablespoonful of olive or vege-
table oil. Then add the skewers
or kebabs of lamb and brown
thoroughly. Place two or three
Of these in the bottom of a
large deep casserole. Add to
these two whole leeks. Seed two
green peppers and chop finely
with one small onion. Peel one
medium-sized eggplant and cut
into chunks. Sprinkle some of
the green pepper mixture over
the leeks and add several chunks
Of the eggplant. There will seem
to be too much eggplant or "patl-
jan" as you pack the casserole,
but remember it's shrinkS to
about one-fourth its original
bulk as it cooks. Season gener-
ously with salt and pepper. Pour
over the layer two or three ia
bleSpoonfulS of strained tomato
juice and one or two teaspoon
fuls of oil.
Repeat the process until the
lamb, eggplant and other vcge-
tables are used up, using one cup
full of strained tomato juice, four
tableSpoonfulS of oil and six leeks
in all. Cover closely and bake in
a moderate oven of 400 degrees F..
from one and one-half to two
hours. Then uncover and brown
slowly for 0ne-half hoTr This
dish may be cooked and reheated
at serving time, losing nothing of
its flavor. Jointed chicken or
fowl may be substituted for the
''kebabs" in this recipe. Serves
eight.
