Sometimes we meet foods that
are good for us and that at the
same time we like. Gelatin, and
especially the prepared favored
gelatin, seems to be Just this sort
of food. With every member Of the
family, from the youngest child to
the grown boy and girl and even
the grandparents, gelatin dishes
are extremely popular.
For all occasions, gelatin, that
very adaptable and nutritious food,
comes to the rescue OF the house
wife, whose ever present problem
and q difficult one 1t is, tools to
please and satisfy the appetites Of
each member of her family.
Gelatin, 1t is pointed out by the
Royal Institute, is q most valuable
food, being q true protein. It con-
tains a most important food ele-
ment which is lacking considerably
In certain common foods. For this
reason, 1t is an important addition
to the diet of growing children. It's
richness in the growth-promoting
amino-acid, lysine. supplements the
deficiency OF cereals in this food
element. In addition, It happens to
be one Of the most easily digested
foods known. Therefore, It is
easily understood why gelatin is so
often recommended for children as
well as adults.
In the opinion Of food experts,
aside from the nutritional aspects
Of gelatin. it's greatest value as q
food IL its unlimited possibilities for
making other interesting and many
embarrassing foods more attractive.

appetites that require coaxing.

than either meat or vegetables, or

IN making the elaborate and COM
plicated Christmas puddings Of hall
a century ago. the young ladies OF
the household descended to the
kitchen to give the fruity mixture
a vigorous stir. To lend a turn to
the fruit cake meant good fortune
in the coming year.
According to a college nutrition
authority the Yuletide pudding of
1888 had nineteen different ingre-
dents including fruits, nuts, suet,
brandy, sherry and eggs. It requir-
ed ten hours Of steaming and was
served with blazing rum sauce. This
pudding (almost a meal In itself)
was gaily served after a roast fowl
dinner preceded by rich soup and
fish course. For good measure mince
pies, tarts, nuts, raisins and can
dies helped to round out the des-
sert course.
Meal planning nowadays tends to-
wards q more careful balancing Of
courses. When there Is heavy main
course, which Is almost always true
Of the Christmas dinner, simplicity
Is expected to be the keynote Of the
dessert. In some families the ira
ditional mince pie is classed as a
necessity. If, however, children and
their needs are to be considered
at holiday dinners a simpler and
more digestible dessert should be
served.
Christmas is too important holi-
day to spoil by upset digestions from
too rich food. Most Of us look back
upon Christmas day with q great
deal Of pleasure but very likely the
day after Is better forgotten. The
exclusion Of some of the conven-
tional dishes need in no way dampen
the enthusiasm Of the holiday sea-
son. There are other desserts which
are attractive and which are far
less apt to make regrettable the
merry making of the holidays.
The following are dessert sugges-
tons to top the Christmas dinner.
