Feeding Growing Children
BY BETTY BARCLAY

Millions Of children are now at
school. Their active minds and
busy bodies present feeding prob
lens that are real worries to
parents,--even to skilled dietitians.
Statistics show that many chill
dren of school age are undernour-
ished,--not only city children but
country children also. Mothers
who prepare meals for children at
home and supervisors of school
cafeterias and lunch rooms, too,
should see to it that wholesome
foods are featured regularly.
The growing bodies of children
require fuel or energy foods. This
is especially true in the Fall and
Winter months. Why not learn to
prepare nutritious dishes of one of
the energy trio of wheat foods
macaroni, spaghetti or egg noodles,
serving them with milk, fruits or
davory meats?
Macaroni products are rich in
protein and easily prepared in many
tasty combinations. Here are three
economical, easy-to-prepare recipes
for meals that vigorous growing
children and grewn-ups, too, will
relish and on which they will
thrive:

or the more 1eisurely evening meal,

what gusto the folks will take to

Milk Is Best Buy On
Food List For Family
Chief Protective Food Should Always Be Used No Mat
ter How Great Need to Economic Is

planning palatable and satisfying
meals. Foods can be classified into
five food groups which are discussed
below.
Milk and Cheese: Milk is the best
buy on the food list no matter how
great the need to economic for it
is our chief protective food. Use
milk for drinking, in soups, main
dishes and desserts, on cereals, and
buildings. Some milk may be taken
in the form of ice cream and cheese.
One quart for each child and for
pregnant or nursing mothers, and
one pint or more daily for other
adults is recommended and cheese
once or more each week.
Vegetables and Fruits: Vegeta-
bles and fruits are also protective
foods. Leafy vegetables as cabbage
and lettuce; green vegetables as
peas and beans; and yellow vegeta-
bles as carrots and rutabagas; citrus
fruits and tomatoes-have special
protective qualities. Two vegetables,
if possible, (beside potato). One
leafy, green, or yellow, preferably
some raw, is recommended. Two

Food Fanacies
BY
Patricia Dubber, Staff Writer
Waterbury Democrat Washing
ton Service Bureau

Fish as brain food-the popular
belief that fish as a food increases
the power of the brain-has no scien-
tiflc support. Foods do not nourish
particular organs of the body. Never
theless few foods can furnish the
quality and variety of nutritional
factors which are provided in fishery
products.
Seafood and milk-there is a wide
spread fallacy that any combination
of seafood and milk or milk products
such as icecream, is indigestible or
in some way dangerous to the health.
The normal person need have no
fear of combining seafood with milk
or milk products, at the same meal,
if each of these foods is strictly
fresh.
Oysters-the idea that oysters
should not be eaten in any month
whose name lacks an IT." probably
dates from medieval times. Oysters
harvested during the summer
months are perfectly edible and
many people living along the sea-
coast eat them at that time. Their
non-use during the summer in early
times probably was due to the fact
that it was difficult to transport fresh
oysters far from production centers
in the hot months due to crude re-
frigeration facilities; also because
oysters taken from many localities
are not as solid and plump in the
summer, which Is their spawning
! season.
Cheese-many people insist that
cheese is very indigestible. Food ex-
perts point out that the discomfort
which sometimes follows eating
cheese is PROBABLY largely the result
of the unsuitable way in which
cheese is often eaten, as at hours
other than meal times, at the end of
meal already sufficient, or late at
night, just before going to bed.
When cheese is eaten as part of a
regular meal and thoroughly chewed,
it is usually well digested.
Canned foods-is it safe to leave
food in opened tin cans? Generally
speaking, yes. The cans used today
by canning companies are especially
designed to prevent undesirable
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-10-13

fruits, if possible, one citrus fruit
or tomato, at least for children is
recommended, daily.
Cereal Grains: Cereals are called
the staff of life because they are in
expensive sources OF energy. The
greater the need for economy the
more important it is to buy the
"unskimmed" products such as dark
breads, whole grain breakfast &C.
reals, brown rice and dark crack
ers. At least one serving of whole
grain cereal is recommended daily.
Fats and Sweets: Butterfat is SUI
perior to other food fats because
it is rich in vitamin A. About one
pound per person each week, pre-
ferably one-half or more as butter
is recommended. Concentrated
sweets should be used sparingly to
protect the appetite for more i'm
portant foods. French and dried
fruits, dark molasses and simple
desserts are wholesome sweets. 1t
is we'll not to exceed one-half pound
per person per week, as sugar.
Meat and Substitutes: These
muscle building foods lend flavor,
variety and satisfaction to meals
Eggs are protective foods and there
fore should be used often - daily
for children, when possible. To econ
omize choose inexpensive cuts of
meat. Meat organs have superior
food value. One or more daily of

IDelicacies

Curry used to be considered an ex-
otto delicacy that Americans seldom
encountered except on round the
world cruises. Sir Thomas Upton,
the famous good loser, was one
of the first to popularize these deli
cacieS for home consumption. After
his first .acht race for the Amer
ica's cup in 1889, the distinguished
sportsman had a native Ceylon chef
prepare a dinner of curried deli
cacies in honor of the victorious
yachtsmen. Soon smart restaurants
all over the country were featuring
Sir Thomas recipes. Nowadays
housewives are finding a dash OF
curry powder an easy and econom-
zeal way to make left over meats
appetizing to the family.
Here's an easy recipe for Ceylon
Curry which the famous tea mer-
chant brought over to this country.
If you follow the custom of the East
Indies. you'll accompany your curry
dishes with hot tea. Under the
Southern Cross, cloves are usually
served with setaming hot tea, along
with slices of lemon.
Even a beginner cook can brew
perfect tea if she follows these SIM
pie basic rules. A tea pot of earth
enware or china is preferable. AL
ways rinse out the tea pot with hot
water. Put one teaspoonful of tea
or an individual tea bag into the
pot for each cup desired. Pour on
fresh, furiously boiling water imme-
diately. Allow to steep from three
to five minutes, according to
strength desired.
Ceylon Curry
2 pounds lean lamb, beef or veal
medium onion, minced
3 tablespoons butter
2 to 3 teaspoons curry powder
/ cup boiling water
l bouillon cube
1-2 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
Juice of 1-2 lemon
Use meat from shoulder, chuck or
breast. Wipe and cut meat into l.
inch cubes. Cook onion slowly in
butter until just beginning to turn
color. Add meat and stir over mod
crate heat 5 minutes. Sprinkle curry
powder over meat, and cook 5 min
utes longer. Dissolve bouillon cube
in boiling water, and add with salt
and pepper to meat. Cover, and
simmer, never allowing mixture to
actually boil, about l IL hours or
until meat is quite tender. Add
lemon juice just before serving. This
curry is not -four thickened. Serves
six. One minced tart apple may be
added to curry when half done in
stead of lemon juice, or Ia cup
shredded coconut may be stirred in
with lemon juice. Serve, with plenty
of boiled rice and chutney.

BOthic Denies
All Charges by
Mount Olivet

Denial of charges made by men,
bers of Mount Olivet Baptist
Church last week was registered by
the Rev. J. C. Bothic, formerly the
pastor, in a ten-point statement.
He charged that statements made
in his farewell address and chal-
lenged by members as not being
accurate were true. He denied that
he told the church to stop payments
on the back salary of a previous
pastor.
An allegation that he abolished
the trustee board was also denied
by the pastor. The assertion that
he had "disgraced the church in
Omaha" was branded as untrue by
the pastor. ~ -
A statement was also made by
the church's representatives that
the Rev. Mr.. Bothic had been die
tatorial in dealing with certain
members. He denied this also.
Further statements on his side of
the matter will be made at the
proper time, the pastor stated.

Workers at the house are not to
