KEN and CAROLYN'S
Yankee Kitchen Rectps4

We imagine that the new point
rationing has held terrors for every
body; but after you have been at it
for a while, and have seen the ulti-
mate good that it will bring, it's
not 80 bad, is it? OF course, the
big trick is the selection Of recipes
that will make the points last
longer and still give families the
most in the way Of nourishment.
Our Yankee Kitchen friends are
sending in their solutions daily and
the results are a pleasure to see.
It's downright ingenuity. Our men
show 1t on the battlefields and the
women display it in their kitchens.

There are many other sources Of ex-

Although you can be adequately fed

give you enough protein for these

Meat is only one Of the best
sources Of protein. So are all dairy
products such as milk and cheese,
dried and evaporated milk and but
termilk. Also eggs, fish, shellfisn,
poultry, game, soybeans, peanuts.
other excellent and available
sources Of essential protein are dried
beans and peas, wfolegrain products
such as oatmeal, cracked wheat and
other wholegrairl cereals. whole
wheat bread and baked goods, nuts.
II man eats one egg, a quart of
milk, half cup Of dried beans or
soybeans. a cheese sandwich, a serv-
