FRUIT imp ARTS
new TASTE TO
VARIOUS MEATS
Beef Loaf Is improved by
RaiSinS; ApricotS Used
to Flavor Gravy.

Fruit and meat combinations,
long used by persons in hotter coun-
tries than ours, make delectable
dishes for warm days. Beef loaf,
for example, a rewarding filler to
have on hand for Sundays, is vastly
improved for most palates if few
raisins are added-about a cup of
seedlesS raisins for two pounds of
meat.
Slices of pineapple, fried or
broiled, go we'll with ham or lamb.
Chinese cooks have a way of broil-
ing spareribs that have first been
boiled and covering them with bits
of pineapple before they are placed
under the broiler.
Baked or fried bananas are deli
cious with bacon, as with most other
things.
Apricots on the side or in the
gravy or roasting pan add apprecia-
BILE zest to almost any meat dish.
Wedges of pineapple fried in butter
improve the already delicious flavor
of f1lets of fish that have been
cooked in a baking pan with
chopped shallots and parsley and
butter.

Do you manage one high spot in
every meal? You ought to. Pop
overs, for instance-or a new salad
or pudding. Not extensive. neces-
sarily, but different. You can have
exciting meals on a budget.
Since cereals and grains supply
the most calories for the least
money naturally they must play a
large part in the daily budget menu.
Cheaper vegetables such as pota-
toes and carrots and turnips, canned
tomatoes, dried beans and peas and
dried fruits will be the mainstay of
the diet. The hudgeter has to go
light on the more costly green's as
we'll as on fresh fruits, meat and
eggs. But don't skimp on milk.
You can get more actual food
value from a we'll made stew than
almost any other one thing. Even
if the amount of meat is very tiny
for each person, through combina-
ton with other foods its flavor IS
made to go long way.
Start in Cold Water
Always put the meat for stew
on to cook in cold water. This
develops the greatest degree of
meat flavor. Then take care not
to cook the vegetables to death,

MacDougaII Cook Book Also
Tells How to Make 40
Cocktails.

Although fame and fortune came
to her through a chain of restau-
rants, the author of Alice Foote
MacDougau's Cook Book cenfesses
that she is an enthusiast about en-
tertaining at home. The frontis-
piece Of her new book is a page
photograph Of the author serving
tea before her own fireplace.
The chapter on cooling drinks for
hot days makes timely reading, to
say nothing of mixing readers
thirsty on sunny summer days.
Drink gets almost as much atten-
ton as food in this palate tickling
volume. The cooling drinks are
about 100 pages removed from the
cocktail recipes, of which there are
40, in a chapter all their own.
Since the author usually had six
or more in mind needing cooling
drinks at the same time, reducing
quantities down to tea for two will
be a simple problem in arithmetic.

water, Juice OF three oranges, juice
of four lemons, half bunch of mint,

on the tea balls and leave for five
minutes. Strain. add mint which

one bottle White Rock.
Mix fruit juices and sugar, pour
in one bottle of ginger ale, leave 20
minutes, then add second bottle of

grape juice, one bottle ginger ale.
Sweeten to taste. Serve very cold.
Garnish with slices of orange and

Add them at intervals, allowing the
usual length of time for them to

But quilts are only a few of the
items that go out from Bancroft to
underprivileged children. Toys, dolls
and games, too. that have been put
aside during the year are dug up and
brought to school to be mended and
repainted so that other less fortunate
little boys and girls can play with
them. Bundles and bundles of them
