What is the right food for old people?" This is a question that is puzzling to many people. House. wives ask it because of the elders in their families. Institution man. ngers ask it. old" people them- selves ask it.
 But what do we mean by old people? Nobody needs special diet merely because he has lived a cer- tain number of years. People who are really old are those whose bodies are no longer as strong or active as they were, people who with their years have become worn, infirm, disabled, or sick. For people in mid dle life or later who are merely not as active as they were the answer may be different.
 For the person who is truly old and unable to assimilate as much as he once could, or to chew all of the foods he once could enjoy, the fol- lowing points are suggested.
 Use fruit juices rather than the fruit itself; stewed fruits rather than the raw ones. Citrus fruits, however oranges and grapefruit may be used raw.

Round Table Talk About Food
Fruit Juices Good
 For Elderly Folks
Milk, Soups, Purees and Broth Suggested-Vege= tables Hard to Masticate Should Be Chopped Fine

Milk, soups, purees, and broth are good. Milk, in fact, is very import ant ill this kind of diet, because it contains so many food values in easily digestible form. Milk fat and imlk protein, especially, are more easily digested than any other fat or protein.
 For protein foods there are broil- ed ground beeg, chicken, lamb, hak- ed fish, oysters, soft-cooked eggs, cottage cheese; cheese souffle or cheese fondu, where the cheddar cheese is finally divided and mixed with other foods that are readily digested. One average serving of protein food per day is usually enough.
 Vegetables are a more difficult question. With their texture i'll mind, we recommend potatoes and sweet potatoes, baked, boiled or mashed; fresh string beans, fresh limas and fresh peae, preferably sieved; spinach, finely chopped; caulif1oWer; squash (no seeds); car- rots, cooked or grated raw; corn pudding, if the corn is scraped and no skin of the grains included. Tomato juice should be used rather than tomatoes unless the seeds and skins are strained out.
 Vegetables that are hard to mas ticate, such as cabbage, turnip tops, collards and stalks of celery, should bet chopped fine. Older people also find grains of corn are hard to di- gest, whether on or off the cob, cooked or canned.
 For desserts, use cuStardS, rice buildings, junket, gelatine, stewed, canned or baked fruit, but not pas try or rich cakes. Cream and sugar or top milk and sugar are allow able with buildings, however. Ice cream is good, and simple candies sometimes, unless they cause ob- vious trouble.
 AS for breads, all kinds are allow able unless they cause discomfort as may happen if they are not well chewed. Toast and zwiebach are good because the starch is partly turned to dextrin, which is easier to digest than starch.
 Coffe, tea, matted milk, and CO., coa are all allowable and usually very welcome. Coffee and tea with sugar and cream or milk if desired.
 These are suggestions for people whose years have brought some de- gree of infirmity. There is another class of people whose diet needs ad- justing with their years, though maybe not because of the years. The need for adjustment may be due, rather, to their habits. Those are the people of middle or later life who use less physical energy than they once did, but who keep on eat ing just as much energy giving food.
 These people do not need Spe- cial diet, nor should they stop eat ing any special kind of food. On the contrary, the body at any age, &C., tive or inactive, needs a well-round- ed diet, including not only vegeta- bles and fruits, milk. meats, fish, poultry or eggs, but also the high calorie foods-bread and cereals, fats and sugars.

not as rare treat, put Irequently.
 Trouble is, many people do not krlow how to prepare avocado so that it will be appealing to tastes not yet addicted to it. The chef usually combines this fruit with other salad ingredients-sometimes win vegetables, more often with other fruits and nuts, as in these salads which I have taken from my file:
 Salad Alma i Cut hearts of lettuceS in halves and on them arrange peeled grape i fruit sections and slices of avo- cados or alligator pears, as most people call them. Dress with win aigrette or a well-SeaSoned French dressing.
 Salad Gadski
 For this use the long lettuce, cut in halves. On the lettuce arrange slice of avocado, dice of apples, pimientos, white grapes; dress with vinaigrette and garnish with crushed walnuts.
 AvOcadoS Indienne
 VnlS IS a more eldDOTdle SdldQ, but the mixture of fiavors is de- liciouS: On lettuce leaves arrange diced avocados, apples, pineapple, sections of grapefruit freed from the membrane, diced celery, red and green pimientos, shredded, a few cooked chestnuts. Dress with mayonnaise.
 Another arrangement is this one: Upon the long lettuce mixed with chicory arrange slices of alligator pears and sections of grapefruit. Garnish with hazel nuts and serve with vinaigrette dressing seasoned with chopped cibols or chives.
 White dandelion greens are often used by the French cook in place of lettuce, and these furnish piquant base for a salad of avoca- dos, mushrooms cut in strips, pi- lmientos, French beans and few grapes for garnishing. Vmaigrette ! is the dressing.
 It is important to have the avo- cadoS ripe, but not too much so, or { they lose their freshness of texture and seem too buttery. Many people like the avocado served in its shell with no further trimming save a well-seasoned French dressing or 1 viniagrette.

If the name Washington Pie" has ever been copyrighted, we're re- sponsible for infringement. But what are you going to do when you've concocted dessert that is so much like Washington Pie should be with cherries and stars and stripes - but give it the right name and hope for the best? But then, perhaps we shouldn't make such an issue of naming this individual. What most of us are really inter- ested in is just how one makes this three-layered February fantasy con- sisting of layer of cake and a layer of jellied cherries, topped of with fluffy, white, whipped cream like mass.
 First of all, you make a layer of oyur very best white cake. This is the foundation of the dessert. Then you make up a layer of the jellied cherry mixture (recipe given below) in the same size cake tin; and 10 and behold! when it's "set" you have not only layer of clear jel- lied cherries but a top layer of fluff and foam, as well. This is then placed atop the cake, decorated with cherries and served up from plate edged with tiny American flags ill marshmallow standards. Clever? Yes, and it's "Specialu- SciouS" too!
 Having a rough idea of Washing ton Pie, let's now decipher the up- per layer. The recipe reads-um-m -m-only marshmallows, cherries and sugar. How does the mixture jell? tI's a most delectable decep- tion, this cherry topping. The marShmallows are melted and com-

bined with the sweetened cherries; then when you place this magical brew in the refrigerator the cher ries fall to the bottom carrying with them the flavor and jellying quality of the marshmallows with the fluff f1ness of the marshmallows remains on top.
 Here is the recipe for:
 WASHINGTON PIE
 (ServeS 8
 packettes (3-4 lb.) marsh-
 mallOwS
 3-4 cup boiling water
 2-3 cups canned cherries
 with juice)
 1-3 cup sugar
 layer of white cake
 Place marshmallows and boiling water in top of double boiler and heat, stirring constantly, until mix ture is smooth and fluffy. Mean while, combine the cehrries with juice) and sugar and heat for about Is minutes. Then remove cherries from syrup and fold into the melted marShmallow mixture. Pour into a round layer cake tin and chill until firm.
 Just before serving, place the cake, right side up, on large round plate. Quickly dip the cherry marshmallow mixture in a pan of hot water and unmold on a square of wax paper, noistened with lemon juice. (This prevents sticking.) Then invert over cake. Polka-dot the top with few canned cherries and serve in wedge-shaped pieces.
 To make the patriotic flag border, simply dip the pins securing tiny American flags in water and then insert in fresh marShmallows.

Buckwheat Cakes for Breakfast

There's no finer breakfast for Q frosty morning than plate of fra grantly Steaming griddle cakes = especially if they're buckwheatl Prepared with all buckwheat flour, Buckwheat Cakes have a most un- usual and distinctive flavor. Most people, however, prefer to have the flavor subdued bit by using part white flour in the batter. You will note in this recipe that a little more htan half of the flour called for IS white, but all buckwheat may be used if you prefer. This proportion produces Buckwheat Cakes that are pleasingly mild in flavor and most attractive in appearance = sure to delight the most finicky tastes.
 Buckwheat Griddle Cakes
 1 IA cups white flour
 1 cup buckwheat flour l tablespoon baking powder.
 1-2 teaspoon salt
 l tablespoon sugar
 2 eggs, separated
 1 cup irradiated evaporated milk
 l cup water
 IA cup melted butter.
 Sift Hours, then measure. Resift with baking powder, salt and sugar. Beat egg yolks. Add milk, water and melted butter, and beat into the dry ingredients. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Bake on an un- greaSed griddle. Yield: 6 servings.
 Buckwheat Cakes have a certain delicacy and lightness even though they're hearty and filling. Rich in irradiated evaporated milk, the bat ter produces cakes of superb tender ness and they bake such beauti- ful golden brown. It's better to bake Buckwheat Cakes on heavy griddle that requires no greasing the flavor is infinitely superior and they're more digestible.

bed in his inner Office and do his
sleeping there The late Senator
Park Trammell of Florida lived
in his Office for several years and
made no bones about it.
Senators get other free SER
vice which not all Representa-
tives share. There is the Senate
Garage, for instance, under
ground at the top of Capitol Hill.
It has uniformed attendants,
comfortable longing quarters for
Senatorial chauffeurs, and space
for housing 361 cars. AS there
are only SO Senators, this leaves
265 stalls which are allotted to
Representatives who are consid-
cred to have special privileges.
Swimming Pool for Senators
In the basement of the Senate
office building are the swimming
pool and Turkish baths. They
give free service to Senators.
The Senate and House barber
shop provides free service, in
Guiding manicures, for members.
For the members of each house
there is private dining room in
the Capitol building, where all la
Dor costs and expenses outside
of the actual cost of food are paid
by the public.
When a Senator or Represen-
tatives dies the Government gives
him free funeral, usually in
Guiding the expenses of a COM
mittee to escort the body to its
final resting place back home.
Some such Congressional funerals
have cost the taxpayers as much
as $4,000. Nor does the death
of member leave his family en-
tirely destitute, for the widow
is given a full years salary in
cash.
There are many minor pere-
quisites which make the job of
a Senator or Representative both
pleasant and profitable, as the
newcomers now in Washington
are beginning to find out.
