My aunt is lovely to me, but I

Potatoes, sweet potatoes and

Pineapple Fritters
With Your Bacon

If you become elated over jolly
apple fritters with your Sunday
morning bacon, you will probably
rejeice over pineapple fritters-
sizzling hot, busted with powdered
sugar and strung on a slice OF
crisp bacon! ,
Beat one egg, sift in a cupful
of flour, gradually add one-halt
cupful of milk, one-fourth tea
spoon of salt and a teaspoon OF
olive oil. Mix until smooth and
glossy; allow to stand in a cool
place for an hour and add a tea
spoonful of baking powder. Dip
one slice of pineapple at a time,
drop into smoking hot fat, fry
for a few minutes, then drain.
Serve hot with sifted powdered
sugar.
For fritters, be thrifty and buy
the grade of Hawaiian pineapple
stamped two on top of the can.
It is from the same perfect pine
apple as Grade Just a little
less perfect in form; the syrup

CHILDREN SHOULD
HAVE WHOLESOME
DESSERTS DAILY
Puddings and Custards Essen
tial for Maintaining
Correct Weight

Puddings made of rice, tapioca
or cornstarch; custards and ice
cream are appropriate desserts for
the development of the growing
child who is underweight. Such a
dessert not only supplements the
other food in the meal but causes
the child to leave the table satisfied.
The part sugar plays in making
these desserts appealing should be
considered in relation to other foods.
Those which are carriers of vita
Minis, minerals and roughage can
be made as inviting as desserts by
the use of sugar as a flavor. Cab
bage, onions, cauliflower, turnips,
tomatoes, peas and other vegetables
canned or fresh-are much inn
proved in appetizing qualities when
seasoned with a dash of sugar to
a pinch of salt. Likewise sugar is
ideal on fruits and cereals.
Doctors and dietitians approve
this use Of sugar. For, when the
flavor of a food is inviting to the
taste, the flow of gastric juices is
increased, thus aiding digestion.
Good food promotes good health.

CREPE SUZETTE
APPET|z|NG

Pancakes are not inseparably
married to breakfasts, except pos
sibly in America, where the aver
age American doesn't consider the
highly important carbohydrate
food as anything but to pour mo-
lasses on and eat ravenously on
cold mornings to the accompanl-
ment of numerous cups Of saw
ory, fragrant coffee.
He might take a hint from the
French, who consider their deli
cious Crepe Suzette as fitting
end to well-balanced continental
meal, and serve his pancakes oc-
casionally at the end of meal
which has not offered too much
carbohydrate. Varied with fruit
instead of jelly or sugar the Amer
ican Crepe Suzette makes a very
healthful and appetizing dessert.
