Salads Tickle Palate
 And Please The Eye
Healthful as We'll as Refreshing at This Time of the
 Year

"Oh, I guess it will be a salad" Just that tone of uncertainty which also expresses confidence that a salad will appease hunger and be satisfactorily appetiZing puts that creation in an exclusive category.
 Chefs have spent their whole lives connecting salads. A noble achieve ment, say the fastidious who rejoice in having their palate tickled as their artistic eye pleased. Salads are comparatively new in culinary history and perhaps no people eat more salads nor a greater variety than the Americans.
 Salads are healthful, too. Wheth- CT it is a fruit salad or a vegetable salad you are getting in that one dish several of the nutritive essen- tials that help to maintain your good health. Salads are also an- other means for the person who is aiming to reduce to protect his or her nutrition, and yet get bulk which is satisfying and leaves no hunger bangs.
 The person who needs not keep one eye on the scales and the other on the menu card may indulge in salads served with creamy or mayonnaise dressing, as preference dictates.
 And never do salads taste better than on hot summer days. A com bination salad is an old standby. It is sure to hide in the folds of the lettuce leaves one or several fo your favorite vegetables. It is most de- licious served with a creamy dress ing which Is easily put together with evaporated milk, sugar, fruit juice and mayonnaise or cooked salad dressing.

TAKE IT EASY
 ON HOT DAYS COrnstarch Desserts Offer a Pleasing and Refresh-
 ing Change FRESH FRUIT FLUFF

"Go slow and easy if you want to get along with me-" are the words of an old song that are par ticularly applicable to dessert t-mak- ing, in the summery days ahead of us.
 There are always times when the, cook wants to take it easy"-and no real homemaker needs to have them enumerated! Certainly one of the times is when summer rolls round with it's entrancing weather. Nobody wants to stay inside and labor over elaborate desserts. And nobody needs to, when so many deli cate desserts may be made with the aid of our old household friend, cornstarch. Cool to make and cool ing to eat and as economical as day. light saving days are long!
 Of course. "easy is as easy does," but in the case of such palate tick lers as Fruit Fluff, Graham Crack CT Pie, or Lemon Foam, easy does very well, thank you!
 In all justice, one more bromide must be recalled in this connection: 'easy come-easy go" is never truer than when the family starts in to eat these desserts. But, after all, they are made to be eaten and what more can one ask than they full fill their destiny? So, relax in these summer days, and take it easy!'
 Lemon Foam 1 cup sugar 2 cups cold water tbsps cornstarch 3 tbsps lemon juice 1-2 tsps salt egg white. beaten stiff. Boil together sugar and l 1-2 cups of water for five minutes. Then stir in cornstarch mixed with re- maining water. When mixture has thickened put in the top of double boiler over boiling water, to cook for 15 minutes. Add the lemon juice and salt and when cold, fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Chill thoroughly, serve on sponge cake.
