When we look into the national food problems We see that one of the finest things the American nation can do for health and the pocketbook is to develop the habit of eating cheese in amounts corn- parable to consumption in Europe.
 By greater use of cheese is not meant increased consumption of fancy imported varieties. These belong in the field of luxury foods. The kinds of cheese which hold so much promise for Americans of the present day are the gerat staple varieties which the country can produce in enormous quantities and at low price.
 This remarkable food supplies cal- cium and certain vitamins which are valuable in our diet. The protein or muscle building material in cheese makes it valuable substi- tute for meat. It is wise to use cheese abundantly during Lent. It will improve any meal both by its good flavor and excellent value as food.
 Some individuals have claimed that cheese is constipating food. This is not true. Exhaustive studies by the United States Department of Agriculture have proven that cheese is 90. per cent to 99 percent digesti- ble.
 CHEESE STRATA
 12 slices day old bread
 1-2 ID. American cheese
 ? 2-3 cups milk
 4 eggs
 3-4 teaspoon salt
 IA teaspoon pepper
 1-8 teaspoon paprika
 Trim crrsts from the bread and lay 6 slices in the bottom of a but tered baking dish, fitting them into cover the entire surface. Slice the cheese and lay it all over the bread.

When recipes say thin" "me- dium" or "heavy" white sauce the proportion of flour implied for thickening is usually one tablespoon flour to each cup of liquid for thickening cream soups; two tablespoons flour to one cup liquid for gravies and sauces; three tablespoons flour to one cup liquid for garnishes.
 His those undecorated odds and ends on your top cabinet shelves the opened cracker boxes, crooks, odd glass jars, half-used preserves, etc,-by tacking pretty box-plead- ed chintz valance over the offending apertures. It will add much to the decorative quality of your closet, and give you world of comfort to know these unlovely details of kitchen management are conducted in pri- vacy.
 When making apricot marmalade, using the dried fruit, do not trouble to mash the pulp through the CO., lander. Put the apricots to soak overnight, in just enough water to cover them; next day, snip the fruit into small pieces, add the juice in which they have soaked and sugar in proportion of three-quarters cup sugar to one of the fruit. Cook un- til the desired consistency.
 When washing gloves, whether of washable kid, suede or fabric, use nail brush and luke warm soapsuds; brush the soiled spots and finger tips briskly, and rinse gloves thoroughly. This treatment does not injure the texture of the gloves, is easier than rubbing the dirt out by hand and much quicker.
 If you haven't one of those handy egg slicers, you can still slice hard boiled eggs without crumbling if you will use 8 sharp knife which has been dipped in boiling water and then wiped dry.

Restricted diets need not be dull. Even in Lent when menus are often limited. meals can be made zestful. The difference between ordinary food and inspired cookery is frequently a slim margin of in. genuity in seasoning, or a novel combination creating new havors. Lemon and fish are famous food afinities at the height of popularity in the Lenten season. Lemons also bring out the flavor of vegetables. Some new ways of serving these seasonal foods = tested and proved delicious will be welcomed by many home managers at this time. For an especially tasty service prepared with canned fish or fish already cooked, try this Fish In Lemon Asple (serves 4-e) 2 tablespoons e envelopes)

 It is too much to expect that many of you are still making your own bread; therefore I hurry over the statement that cinnamon rolls are best when made with yeast dough. They're mighty good, how ever, when you make them accord ing to a quick biscuit recipe, in this way: Double the quantities if you want some for the family table.)
 cup flour
 2 teaspoons baking powder
 1-4 teaspoon salt
 tablespoons butter
 1-3 cup milk
 Sift dry ingredients and cut in the butter with a knife; gradually add the milk and mix lightly un- til a soft dough is formed. Pat out on foured board or roll very lightly to quarter inch in thickness. Spread generously with melted but ter, sprinkle with sugar and cinna- mon; roll up quickly, cut in rings and bake in a moderate oven for about 12 minutes. Serve while hot or quite fresh. To serve again, reheat

 The Man
By CHLOE JAMESON

Chicken Fricassee Is a favorite dish in most every home; and in most of them It is white fric- assee, made with milk or cream. For 6 change try browning the chicken and steaming it in its gravy. Men are especially fond of chicken when it's prepared that way.
 Brown Chicken Fricassee
 Have the fowl cut as for white fricassee. In frying pan place two or three strips of salt pork and when hot, put in the chicken, leaving plenty of room between pieces. Cook until each piece is rich brown on both sides; remove the meat and keep 1t warm. Make gravy with the drippings blended with two tablespoons of four and two cups of boiling water, stirring until perfectly smooth. Season with salt and pepper and return the hcicken to the pan; replace cover and simmer slowly until the chicken is done. Add one teaspoon onion juic eand serve at once with fluffy mashed potatoes.
 Broiled lamb chops are as stan- dard as steak-but make a differ ent appeal when the Drowned chops are cooked on wheels of canned pineapple. Pan broil the chops until they are well Drowned on both sides: sprinkle with salt and pepper and place each chop on a wheel of drained pineapple. Return to the oven and broil ten minutes lnoger, basting the chops several times during the broiling. Slip onto a hot platter, garnish with parsley and serve at once.
 With the lamb chops and pine apple serve creamed new potatoes very excellent ones at a fair price arc now in most markets. Buttered spinach or peas or broccoli would make the perfect green vegetable. A jellied tomato salad for the next course, and banana shortcake for dessert.

Do You Know

At least five vitamins are recog- nized as necessary to life. Their presence in the proper proportions in the diet of men, women and chil- dren promotes growth and prevents and cures of certain types of dis eases. These precious vitamins are most abundant in fresh milk, fresh fruit and vegetables-particularly the leafy vegetables. By name they are, Vitamins A, B, c. and D.
 Cheese contains more protein than the average meat; twice as much as eggs, and supplies more calories than equal amount of any other food material except some nuts, but ter, oil and very fat meats.
 During Lent many hostesse. omit the formal desserts and ir their place serve an after-din. ner coffee in the living room ol library, accompanying it with 6 few savories or sweet tidbits. Suit. able for this service are little squares of pie paste covered with finely cho- ped Swiss cheese, the ledged Tapped and the little turnover baked in a hot oven. When finished, a spot oi jelly or jam may be placed in the center of the turnover.
 At least one-third of the food budget should be spent for what are called the protective foods" milk, vegetables and fruits as these tend to make up for deficien- cies in the rest of the diet.

Kitchen Comments
By WILDA HOYT

When planning to use leftover vegetables for salad. always drain them of sauce or juice and wash of thu butter orseasonings which may have adhered to them, using warm water. Then chill them thoroughly.
 Mice dislike the smell of camphor and will quickly abandon pantry shelves on which Jumps of gum camphor are kept.
 All canned goods bought in quan- tity should be dated and care talk en to use the oldest cans first. The same applies to homemade pre- serves which often become mixed in storing them.
 The finest soap for dishwashing can be made from bits of soap too small to use. Shave them and add 2 cups of water to every half cup of shredded soap. Heat and stir until dissolved.
 Plain lemon juice and water make a very refreshing mouth wash and to counteract an acid condition of the stomach, nothing is better than a glass of lemon juice and water to which a pinch of soda is added, talk en on arising in the morning.
 To keep new tinware bright and free from rust, rub over the surface, inside and out, with fresh lard: heat thoroughly in the oven, and the tin will never rust, no matter how much it is soaked in water. To clean old tinware, rub with soda and damp ened newspaper and polish with a dry piece of paper. It will come out like new.
