held soy beans, another of soy

Soy beans are very rich in pro-
tein content and they have a nutty,
reaty flavor she went on. I'VE
can use them in meat loaves and
soups in soy bean flour for bread
and cakes and in many other ways.
We have also learned to sprout
them and when they are sprouted
they have as much vitamin C as
tomatoes. In the Cornell labora-
tory we found that it is practical
to freeze these sprouted soy beans
and now quick-freeze companies
are doing it. The sprouted soy
beans Will be on the market by
November l.
We are also going to use a
great many cereals-noodles, spa
ghetti and so on-as offenders of
a small amount of meat. We can
cook noodles with meat to give
them the meat flavor and serve
spaghetti with meat sauce.
Right now housewives should
increase their provisions of food
by canning tomatoes, appl e S,
grapes and everything else pos
sble. They should also store as
many root vegetables, such as car
rots and turnips, as they can pro-
cure And to be prepared in case
of further butter shortage, they
should prepare lot of spreads

things of that sort.

shortage would last for this year
anyway. Next year We must plan
