PRESCRIPTION for a delight
full climax for dinner on hot mid
summer night-"Rx. +. Take one
sponge or angel food cake and
cut in squares. Mold with lemon
custard and chill. Serve for des-
sert when weather is warm"
Here is a prescription that can
be followed with real pleasure
fortthe delicate quivery texture
and the fresh tang of the lemon
in this nodded cake and custard
dessert foster an illusion of cool
ness no matter what the thermo-
meter may read.
The preparation of this dessert
is simple, too, SO simple in fact
that you can easily fit it into
any crowded summer schedule.
If you wish, the sponge cake may
be purchased from a baked
goods counter. The lemon GUS
tard, however, which gives the
dessert its superlative flavor, can
be quickly made in your own
kitchen.
Particularly is this true, if you
own a modern electric range. AS
you know, time-Worn custom has
necessitated the use Of double
boiler when making custards.
However, when cooking with the
low. evenly distributed heat of q
modern electric range, only a
medium weight. ordinary sauce
pan is needed. The low, constant,
controlled heat coagulates GUS
tards to q smooth creamy consist
ency without b trace of curdling.
This low surface heat, only one
among the several heat settings
found on the electric range, is
also a real safeguard in the cook
ing of milk and egg mixtures,
making it possible for the anna
teur cook to prepare these easy
to-burn products with ease and
assurance.
A very real help, too, are the
pilot lights now found on the sur
face units of some models which
show what heat Is being used.
But back to our cake custard

as much was know about ade-
quate diets and ways of enrich
ing the diet with capsuled vita
minis as is known today.
Also, the average housewife.
didn't have the means she has
today of finding out what the
experts know and putting their
findings to use in her own meal
planning.
IMPORTANCE OF
DIET TO HEALTH
Today, the housewife learns
about food requirements from
the woman's page Of her news
paper, from the women's maya
zines, from government publica-
tions, and from homemaking ra-
dio programs.
So she knows more than ever
before about the importance of
a proper diet to health.
And now the government has
had group of nutrition experts
draw up a nutrition yardstick
that is so simple a moron could
see that her family is properly
fed.
OF course, 1t takes money to
feed a family properly. But the
woman who can afford enough
food to fill up her family every
day can usually afford the va
riety of foods it needs for q
proper diet.
She may have to spend her
time on a vegetable garden in
stead of a flower garden, and
she may have to spend more
time in the kitchen cooking
cheaper cuts of meat that take
considerable cooking time, but
If she wants to she can give her
children the foundation for
health. 10. 5As~ ~
If she doesn't, she is falling
down in her duty to her family,
to her community, and to her
country. For a nations health
is almost entirely in the keeping
of its women.
