SISTER MARY'S MENU
BY MARY E. DAGUE
SE.t Service Stan Writer

nON'T you think it's wisdom to
- serve meals OF simple. easily
iigested foods for several days,
when adjustments to changes OF
temperature have to be made? l
10.
Seasonable foods usually will be
!ound best for this and clever sea-
,oning often makes il possible to
use the same foods many times in
succession without danger Of
monotony. For example. baked
carrots for luncheon and grated
raw carrots in the dinner salad
have no suggestion Of sameness
yet healthful and economical
food is supplied for two meals and
4 definite saving is effected by
buying in quantity
When eggs are cheap they make
splendid meat substitutes. Cheese
is good in place Of meat. too. The
combination Of dried beans and
milk is as adequate a source of
protein as beef steak and costs
about one-fourth as much. AS
for minerals and vitamins. there
are more in milk and beans. -. &,
Canned Foods May Be Superior
II fresh fruits, and vegetables
are Of inferior quality involving
much waste. canned ones may be
used with economy and equal sat-
isfaction. Wilted and imperfect
fresh products are Of less food
value than those canned in per-
rect freshness and maturity. a..
Quick revisions Of market lists
and menus often are necessary
after reaching the market if the
best is to be obtained for the least
money. With this in mind. it's a
good idea to jot down alternatives
IN the market list. 81, -. .,.
Each season and each section OF
the country will furnish foods
whose nutritive value should be
used to the best advantage. Beet,
greens, turnip tops and many
other spring green's often are
available at almost no expense

Ethiopia's rejection was con-
veyed to Aloisi by Salvador de

mittee of 10, and Joseph A. C..

The message Aloisi brought to
the league from Mussolini sug-
gested that:
l. If Ethiopia desires peace she
approach the East African mill
tary headquarters Of Marshal Pie
tro Badoglio with overtures for
negotiations. This would follow
the World war precedent.
2. If Emperor Halle Selassie's
representatives could negotiate an
armistice with Marshal Badoglio,
Italy then would be ready for
general peace negotiations which
should occur at Oucey, near Lau-
same, instead of at Geneva. "a.
3. If the league should accept
this procedure Italy would give it
loyal support in the future. But
peace would be seriously preJu-
diced if new sanctions were voted
against Italy.
A. If peace negotiations were
conducted at ,0ucey, Italy would
keep the committee Of Is inform
ed of their progress through Ave-
mol and Madariaga. Their pres
ence at the actual negotiations,
however, would not be permitted.
5. If peace negotiations occur
the league should grant Italy Sc
curity against Ethiopian attacks.
AS soon as the stipulations made
Iby Aloisi for Mussolini became
known in Geneva league officials
said they could "never be accept
ed" by the league. Ethiopia at
once rejected them through Wolde
Marian, Halle Selassie's envoy
and Prof. CASTOR Jeze of France

The Ethiopian note rejecting
the proposals emphasized that the
moment has come to apply against
Italy all the sanctions provided by
