day before and think out
just what is needed for sew
eral meals ahead which must be cooked.
For instance, place roast in q pan
just barely large enough to hold 1t,
thus economizing on space as well.
Then, If possible, cover the roast with
pan which can be made to sit level,
into which put ssveral potatoes, or II
this arrangement isn't practical, put
the potatoes on the crate. Next to
the roast place a small pudding dish
containing a pudding. On a small
asbestos mat. next to the pudding dish,
place a small pan of biscuits. A vege-
table may sometimes be baked in a
nappie with all these things as well.
This Is In a fair-siZed oven.
The following will be good combina-
tions for any baking day:
/. A meat loaf, covered, In bread
pan: scalloped tomatoes in a pudding
On hour. Baked potatoes may be
crowded IN almost always.
2. Roast chicken in a small cake tin;
sweet potatoes peeled and sliced, sea-
eoned and covered with milk in pud-
ding dish; macaroni and cheese in a
bread pan. Time, about one and one
half hours; oven moderate.
8. Baked fish in cake tin: corn
pudding in a pudding dish; cinnamon
buns in another small cake tin. Time.
about one hour with hot oven. Pota-
toes may be put In If something Is
done little ahead of time.
The following combinations are easily
arranged according to preference. but
suggest ways to use materials and space
10 the best advantage:
1. Liver; onions and milk in a pud-
ding dish; potatoes; other vegetable.
2. Smothered steak; scalloped pota-
toes; vegetable; drop cakes.
3. Baked lamb chops; Dreaded peas
with sauce; gems or mullins.
4. Link sausage; rice pudding3 whole
wheat gems.
5. Baked sliced ham in milk: pars-
nips; apple sauce: biscuits.
II the gas is turned of Is minutes
before time to take out the food, much
wasted gas can be saved.
It Is very annoying when baking to
find that you cannot use your oven
to full capacity because the last dish
will not quite fit in. To bake that dish
afterward would waste gas and upset
the whole meal plan. You can prob
ably find space in the oven for half
q brick. and on this you can bake the
extra dish. This brick will prove to
be handy device.
Economical Meat Loaf-Grind to-
eether one pound Of round steak and
one pound of lean pork, add one cupful
OF corn flakes, one egg, salt to taste,
and one small can of spaghetti with
tomato and cheese sauce. Form into
loaf. Put one cupful Of water in the
baking pan and bake in moderate
oven. Baste with hot water and but
ter. Remove the loaf. Thicken the
drippings with two tablespoonfuls Of
-four, and add more water, If needed.
Pour over the loaf. This makes large
and tasty Loaf

Old-fashioned Vegetable Soup.-Did
Sou ever realize that when we need to
economic. all we have to do is to make
use Of some old-fashioned dishes. For
instance. you can make an old-fash-
toned vegetable soup by adding egg
noodles and diced vegetables to stock.
To make the stock. put into a wide
mouthed glass jar the water in which
nild-flavored vegetables have been
cooked. Such vegetables should be
cooked rapidly and in small amount
Of water, so that the leftover vege-
table liquor will be rich in minerals.
Vitamins and flavor. To this add finely
cubed bits of leftover meats, ham
burger ball crumbled fine. gravies, and
the bones of roasts and ham. You can
make thick and savory vegetable
chowder and an economy soup Of lentils.
tomatoes and elbow macaroni
Vegetable Cakes.-The importance Of
vegetables in the diet Of children is
constantly being brought to the atten-
tion Of mothers, but sometimes it is
difficult to get children to eat vege-
tables. II this Is the case, serve them
like meat balls. Prepare three or four
cooked vegetables, cutting them into
small pieces or putting them through
the food chopper. Add bread crumbs
and beaten egg, then shape these into
little cakes, dust them with -four, and
brown them in the oven or fry them in
