Frankfurters Baked For
 The Picnic

Warm sunny days-and time to have picnic! And what would a picnic be without frankfurters Gall right then, hot dogsD? Whether you do your picnicking on the porch or in the garden, or at that favor- ite spot you found last summer, youll find Frankfurters Baked in Biscuits mighty fine eating!
 Baking frankfurters in biscuit dough is a new idea and good one. The franks" cook perfectly and the biscuit, tender and crusty- brown, slits easily so that mustard or other spicy trimmings can be tucked in- side. They can be made up and baked hours ahead of time, for they keep beautifully. If you picnic at home, you may prefer to serve them hot from the oven. But hot or cold, everybody will go for
 Frankfurters Baked in Biscuits
 cups flour
 tsp. baking powder
 1-2 tsp. salt
 Ia cup cold shortening
 1-z cup lrradlated eVaporated milk
 and
 1-3 cup cold water, mixed
 to 8 frankfurters
 Sift four, then measure. Resift with other dry ingredients. Rub shortening into flour. Add diluted milk and mix quickly but thorough ly. The dough should be soft. Turn onto a houred board. Knead about one-half minute. Roll dough to about 3-8 inch thickness and cut in rectan- gles to fit the frankfurters. Cover frankfurters with the dough, sealing the edges by pinching the dough firmly together. Lay on greased bak- ing sheet and bake in hot oven (450 degrees F) about IS minutes, or until Drowned.
 This novel way of serving frank furters is most intriguing. All fam l cied up in biscuit wrapper, the lowly "weenie" may appropriately be the piece de resistance for supper parties as well as for picnics or meals at home.

Glazed Onions


 Peal about 2 dozen small white onions and cook them in a large kettle of boiling salted water until they are just tender. Drain and dry on cloth. Melt tablespoons but ter in 8 saucepan, add 3 table sponos sugar, then add the onions and cook slowly, over low flame, shaking them often so that the onions will be evenly glazed. Try the onions in a vegetable plate combination; they need not always be served with roast fowl or meat. In a vegetable assortment such as creamed new potatoes with parsley, buttered spinach, grilled tomato, the glazed onions are especially nice. Baked Flank Steak with Tomatoes

From Mexico come many inter-
esting species of the Cactaceae.
Many of these have been discovered
only recently, writes E. c. Hum
mel in Nature magazine.
One of the comparatively new dis
coveries is Mamillaria hahniana,
known as the Old Lady of Mexico.
This was discovered in 1929 in Cen
trail Mexico, where it grows in
large clusters, completely cloaked
in long, fine hair. During the bloom
ing season it wears a crown of pink
or rose flowers. Little less con-
spicuous is the crown of red ber-
ries that is later pushed from be-
tween the Towering tubercles, to re-
main for weeks like a crown of
rubies on white-haired lady.
One of the most difficult plants to
locate is Roseocactus kotschubeya-
nus, which belongs to the living
rock group of the Cactaceae. On
account of the shape of its tubercles
it carries the common name deer
foot cactus. It mas a large tuberous
root and the entire plant is sunken
entirely in the ground. Here it is
safe from the eyes of the collector
until blooming time, when the large
pink flowers that arise from the
center disclose it's presence.

Postmasters General in Cabinet

From the organization of the fed
eral government down to the year
1929 the postmasters general were
not recognized as members of the
cabinet. The first postmaster gen.
eral under the present Constitution
was Samuel Osgood of Massachu-
sets, appointed by President Wash
ington September 26, 1889. He was
regarded as the head of a bureau.
But it was not until 40 years later,
when Andrew jackson became Pres
ident, that the postmaster general
was asked to sit as a member of
the cabinet. President Jackson norn-
mated William T. Barry of Ken
lucky to the office of postmaster
general and invited him to a seat
in the cabinet. Since then the head
of the post office department has
been considered a member Of the
cabinet.

sary minerals and vitamins. If
children have been brought up
with a wholesome respect for this
master food, they will continue to
drink it during their teens.
However, if they complain about
taking it as a beverage, mothers
should see that it is supplied by
way of cream soups and sauces,
with cereals, and in nutritious pud-
ding desserts, which can be en-
riched with eggs, thus providing
additional proteins, minerals and
vitaminS.
Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits should be eaten freely
at least twice a day-and the high
caloric dried fruits, such as prunes
and dates, may be used to ad-
vantage along with bananas, or
anges, grapefruit, apples and 9TH
er fresh fruits, as we'll as the
many varieties that come in cans.
Cooked and raw vegetables
should be provided liberally-if
possible, at both lunch and dinner.
Dressing cooked vegetables with
butter or margarine will increase
their fuel value, and make them
more satisfying for hungry boys.
Girls, who are often finicky eaters
during their adOlescent years, can
usually be tempted with crisp, raw
vegetables served in the form of
salads; and protein can be added
by means of eggs, cheese, fish or
chicken.
Boys Need More Food Than Girls
There is a marked difference be-
tween the fuel requirements of
teen age boys and girls. Both
must have a we'll balanced diet.
But the boys need many more
calories, and therefore should
have a more generous allowance
of highly concentrated foods which
supply necessary fuel with a min
imum tax on the digestive system.
They should have cereals in gen.
erous-size portions-and it's advis-
able to choose part of the cereals
from those retaining the bran and
the germ. And they'll welcome
nourishing desserts, such as Gus
tard, tapioca, bread and corn
starch puddings.
Girls Warned Against Reducing
Girls, on the other hand, may
become fussy and try to cut down
radically on the fuel foods, with
the foolish idea of keeping fash
iOnably thin. This must not be
permitted, because it may result
in under-nutritiOn, which opens the
way to fatigue and nervousness,
and may lead to serious disease.
In addition to wholesome, nour-
ishing food, teen age boys and
girls should have plenty of rest,
sunshine and healthful outdoor ex-
ercise. And they also deserve the
sympathy and deep understanding
of their parents.

even to his choice of food.
Mothers must mobilize all the
patience and fOrbearance at their
commandments make it their SOL
emn duty to see that their ado
leScent children have the foods
they require for growth, for stam
ina, and for building resistance to
disease. For the stress and strain
of adolescence will be far more
easily weathered by boys and girls
who are properly nOurished.
Quality Important as Quantity
During the years of greatest
growth, boys and girls frequently
require more food than their ia
theirs or mothers. But it is es-
sential that the diet be well bal
anced and of the highest nutritive
value. 1t should include an abun-
dance of easily digested energy
foods, such as breadstuffs, pota-
toes, cereals and macaroni prod
ucts, as well as liberal quantities
of the more concentrated fuel
foods, such as butter or marga-
rine. There must be an ample
supply of high quality protein
which is furnished by meat, fish,
eggs, cheese and milk-to build
the new muscle tissue required to
cover the lengthening frames of
the boys and help build the round
ed contours of the girls.
Need for Minerals and Vitamins
There must be ample amounts
of the various mineralS-especial-
ly calcium and phosphorus for the
teeth and bones, and to help build
sound, healthy nerves; iodine for
proper functioning of the thyroid
gland; iron for building increased
quantities of rich red blood. Every
vitamin must be included in the
adOlescent's diet to promote nor
NAL health and development, but
vitamin A is especially valuable
at this time of rapid growth, and
vitamin B is also required in lib
eral amounts to meet the extra de-
mands of increased activity and
growth.
A AQuart Of Milk Daily
1t is highly desirable that the
diet should include quart of milk
daily, because milk is such a

vitamin A, as we'll as other neces-
