Modern Menus Stew Makes Ideal Health
 Economy Dish At Any Time

shank is also a good cut for stew ing. Although it has quite a bit of bone, you can easily tri moff the meat and cut it into uniform pieces. The flank is excellent, even though the fibers are coarse. The neck, short ribs, plate and brisket are also suitable.
 Veal and lamb riblets, made by cutting between the ribs of the breast, small, very lean shoulders and irregularly shaped pieces of veal, lamb or pork are goo d for stews. Meat organs make stew meats. Low in price, they add vitamins and minerals to the meal. Beef kidneys take precedence wherever there's an Englishman; i; but calf, lamb, and pork kidneys will do as well. Heart, tongue, and liver can also be stewed.
 SEASONING
 Salt and pepper, celery, parsley, and onion are standard stew seasonings. Try bay leaves and whole cloves, as the Hungarians do in making goulash. Paprika gives the stew a rich dark color. Thyme, marjoram, celery salt, and curry powder are other important seasonings.
 Dumplings give a stew distinc- tion. Cook them in the covered kettle right along with the meat and vegetables the las ti5 minutes before serving time Don't be in- quisitive while the dumplings are steaming. They get along better if you leave the kettle covered
 Pancakes and so urcream gravy go with the stew, if you want to do it the Russian way

These fats are valuable reserves, if not overstocked, and in case of emergency they are put to work. They are the most concentrated form of body fuel.
 It is remotely possible that on some cold day when your energy requirements are high, you might not eat enough food for bodily re- quirementS. Then the reserves would be called out-the stored fats.
 This fuel burns more slowly than other energy producers. In mixed diet, the greater the proportion of fats, the longer the food stays with you. The time of digestion is stret- ched out and the bangs of hunger that come from the stomach being emptied too quickly are held off.
 A few slices of bacon or an egg added to the breakfast of cereal, toast, and coffee greatly improves the meal as a starter on a winter morning. It is more heating and sticks to your ribs longer.
 NEXT: Too much fuel.

GOOD EATING IRON

GOOD EATING 1RON
 Psychologists and nutrition chem. ists estimate that a healthy adult requires approximately one-fourtt of a grain of iron a day.
 Only a part of the iron taken ir either natural food or as medicine (organic iron or inorganic) is as- simulated or absorbed and utilized by the body.
 It has been recognized recently that in many instances, perhaps ir most instances, of simple anemia the cause is not so much lack oi iron but lack of capacity to as- simulate and utilize iron taken ir food or medicine.
 Something present in liver an6 kidney has been found to be espe- cially valuable for promoting aSsim- ilation and utilization of iron and formation of hemoglobin (red color ing matter) in the blood, and raw liver or liver extracts, and even cooked liver, If not cooked too much has come into wide use as a remedy for perniciouS anemia and for Sim- pie anemia. The something in liver which has this effect Is called the intrinsic factor" This intrinsic factor" is present also in normal gastric juice (secretion of which chardacteristically fails in pernicious anemia, and often falls below nor nal in simple anemia) and in the stomach wall (tripe). This "intrin- sic factor" according to competent scientific authorities, must act upon an "extrinsic factor" present in beef muscle. eggs, wheat germ, yeast rice polishings, tomatoes, etc., to produce the "anti-perniciou anemia factor" which is necessary for nor nal development of red corpuscles
 Whether the intrinsic or extriIlsic factor is a vitamin, perhaps one of the entities of the natural vitamir B complex, is yet undetermined, but there is good evidence that the en- tity called vitamin B2, vitamin G riboflavin is essential for utilization of iron-dogs on vitamin G def. cierlt diet develop marked anemie even if the diet contains plenty o1 iron.
 Foods containing iron vary con. siderably as to availability of tht iron-that is, roast beef, for ex. ample, contains four times as mucl iron per ounce as peanuts do, but all of the iron in peanuts is ttil- ized by the body whereas barely one-fifth of the iron in roast beet is utilized. Black molasses con- tains nearly twice as much iron as roast beef and all of the iron ot molasses is utilized by the body An ounce of raisins contains more than half as much iron as an ounce of roast beef and nearly all of the iron of raisins is utilized. Dry raw figs contain third as much again as raisins and nearly all of the iron in figs is available. Eggs con- tain nearly half as much iron as beef and all of the iron in egg yolk is utilized. Raw carrots, raw celery raw onions, raw apples contain smaller amounts of iron but all of the iron in these foods is available
