meat, vegetables and dessert--can be prepared in these cookers--all at one time.
 Food cooked in the deep well cooker of an electric range, more. over, requires almost no watching while it is cooking, fact which makes this Swedish Dinner an ideal one to plan for a gardening after noon. To prepare it, place a beef tongue lsee recipe for preliminary preparation), six large potatoes and a fresh strawberry about-to.be steamed pudding in the cooker. Af- ter the tongue Is cooked, a special Swedish sauce is made with the broth. So, instead of the three sur face units and the oven which this meal would require if prepared in the usual manner, all the heat necessary to cook the whole meal is provided by the one cooker unit, and it is set at an economical low speed. But here are the recipes for .he Swedish dinner:

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER
NutritiOnIst for the State Board Of Health
THANKSGIVING 1s41

Thanksgiving is always .associ
ated with food. The first Thanks
giving was planned to give thank
for successful harvest. Thanks
giving 1941 seems a most appro
pirate time for us to think abou
our own food resources and to bt
thankful for them.
To begin with, the Americans
are already the best fed people in
the world. A report of the League
of Nations showed that before the
war began only the British Isles
the British Dominions and the
Scandinavian countries were as
we'll fed as the United States. War
has cut the food standard of living
in all these countries except the
United States and possibly some OF
the British Dominions.
Even the American diet can
stand a lot of improvement. But
let us be thankful that we have the
means to make these improvements
at home and at the same time to
extend "a helping hand to those
countries less fortunate than our
selves.
We have the land to produce
what we need. Farmers are giving
a priority to foods such as milk,
eggs, vegetables, fruits and meats
which are essential for health. The
United States Department of Agri-
culture is planning carefully so
that we will have the makings of
a well balanced diet for every Am
eFican.
We have the knowledge Of how
to store this food. Never before
have we known so much about how
to preserve foods at their best fla
vor and highest nourishment. Can
ming and freezing are both highly
developed. We are now learning
how to preserve flavor and vita
minis in dried food. BY controlling
humidity and temperature we can
extend the freshness of such a fra
gile product as eggs.
We have the knowledge of how
to improve our health through diet.
While there is much yet to be
learned, if we apply what we al
ready know we can certainly de-
crease illness and add to the
health and efficiency Of many who
consider themselves well.
We have the means for spread
ing this knowledge. In Delaware
we have the University of Della
ware Extension Service, the
schools, the Parent-Teacher Asso-
citation, the State Board of Health.
the Wilmington Visiting Nurses
Association and every other health
agency, all of whom are already
doing nutrition education.
Assistant Secretary of State
Berle said recently that the inter-
national aspect of the problem of
proper feeding includes "the feed
ing which everyone ought to have
that the providence of God put |
these supplies in the, world to be
used for the strengthening OF life,
and that 1t is the job of everyone
to see that they are so used"

and Richard S. Snyder, State Co.
ordinator for the Soil Conservation
Service.
One of the chief subjects discuss
ed at this meeting was the most ef-
fective means of calling to the at
tention of farmers the necessity of
repairing farm machinery in view
of the increasing cost of new ma
chinery because of the great de-
mand for iron and steel in our ma
tional defense industries. The mem
bers of this board decided that one
method of conducting this farm
machinery repair program would
be through repair schools or clinics
to which farmers would be invited
to learn more about how to do this
repairing.
1t was suggested also that sur
vey be made to determine the num-
ber and location of forges on the
farms in Kent county, and the num-
ber of portable forges and repair
outfits which might be used in this
farm machinery repair program.
When these community centers
have been established the farmers
in these areas will be notified that
they can bring their farm machin-
cry to these repair schools and |
learn how it can be repaired foI

In forwarding agriculture extern
sion teaching. In fact, it is often
difficult to distinguish where ex-
tension teaching leaves off and
where association work starts. This
is to be expected, because associ-
alton leaders recognized at the out
set that the education of poultry
producers is one of the most inn
portant goals for such a poultry
organization.
Through educational means, the
State Poultry Organization has had
a part in the progress made in
Pullorum Disease eradication work.
There has been an increase in
the number of pullorum clean hat
cherries in the state from three or
four to fifteen or more during the
past three years. Three years ago
the per cent of fiocks in the state
reacting on the first blood test was
61.S9o. Last year it was 37.49o.
During this same period, general
improvement in the quality of stock
has been achieved, and at the pres
ent there are numerous Delaware
farm fiocks producing a quality of
Matching eggs that command re-
spect on the broiler chick market.
The Poultry Pathology Department
of the State Board of Agriculture
at Dover, has been responsible for
the regulatory and supervisory
duties connected with the pullorum
program.
During 194O-41, educational
meetings held with or sponsored by
the ID. p. l. A. totaled Ill with an
attendance of 2,767. This counts
several county, state and out-of-
state tours including one to New
England during August, 1941.
Cooperative relationships have
been maintained with the State
Poultry Pathologist and Bureau of
Markets, with vocational teachers
and All Club Work. In fact, the
association has partly financed
demonstration teams and judging
teams on several occasions.

DIARY Of .
BEAUTY AUTHORITY
by Helena Rubinsfein

lin this weeks column, the world
famous beauty authority pre-
scribes a simple, inexpensive cor
rectiye treatment for women
with dry skins.)
NEW Sometimes when
/ am present at an international
gathering, l like to play little
game and try to guess the nation
alities of the women present by
their compilations. can frequent
ly pick out the women who come
from Mediterranean or Latin Am
erican countries by their dark
skins, often inclined to be either
excessively oily or excessively dry
due to the climate they live in.
British women usually have clear,
high-colored, ruddy compilations.
The American women can usually
detect at once-for, at rough
guess, would say that nine out of
ten American women have dry
skins.
There are several reasons why
dry skin is so prevalent in Amer
lea: the American diet for one
thing, with its low percentage of
fats and oils; the dry temperate
climate; the steam-heated rooms in
which American women spend so
much of their time. All of these
are contributing factors.
Today, as / walked down Fifth
Avenue, could not help noticing
how many beautifully dressed and
otherwise perfectly groomed wo-
men suffer from serious complex
ion faults. A dry skin is grave
beauty fault first of all. because it
is the type of skin which is most
likely to wrinkle. Furthermore, it
becomes scaly and parched very |
easily and is usually lifeless and
sallow-looking. A woman who has |
this type of skin must take extra
