Meat, Vegetables
Required by Body
By Dr.. J. B. Warven

The length of the intestine in q
COW is "a times the length of its
body. The COW eats grasses which
require that length of intestine to
allow nourishment to be absorbed
from it. The length of a dogs in
testine is four and .one-half times
as long as its body. The dog eats
meat which is quickly absorbed into
the blood.
The length of mans intestine
is nine time the length of his body.
AS mans intestine is shorter In pro-
portion to his length than a cows
and longer than a dogs, he should

Club De Jeudi
Tries New Dish
As Reported BY
arthur II. Denfe

When the Club de Jeudi was Or
ganized, it seemed a good idea to
let four husbands take turn about
and one week out of four show
their skill as chefs and cook a din
ner for eight. But now, what with
the rationing and all, four wives
are getting weekly respite and
also coming to have added respect
for the appetizing creations the
amateur chefs produce.
Leonard Crown has progressed so
far that he will enter the next
amateur chef contest and compete
for prize. His large, roomy kitchen
is taking on the aspects Of a hotel
establishment. He has stopped
tossing a meal together" in an hour
or so. Now, when the club meets
with Peggy and Leonard. plenty OF
planning has gone into the prepara-
ton of the excellent dinner-well
chosen from available ingredients
thoughtfully and intelligently pre-
pared.
Last Thursdays menu consisted OF
A Chicken Soup With a Suspicion OF
Ham and Rice
Bruised Shanks OF Lamb With
Vegetables
ColeslaD
Strawberry Tarts
Coffee
First of all, the chicken soup
The broth resulted from taking the
carcass of last Sundays roast chick
en-leaving a little meat here and
there, and boiling it out with enough
water to cover. While making the
broth, 1t was seasoned with an
onion, some celery tops, couple
of bay leaves, salt and pepper. Ten
cups of good, strained broth re-
suited. The bits of meat were
added after straining. An hour
before dinner was to be served this
broth 90 cups) was returned to its
pot. and half cup of uncooked
rice was added. Then, too, was
added a mere touch-just two table
spoonsful of minced raw smoked
leftover ham-(t (there is danger In
OVERRIDING the amount of ham).
After cooking for half an hour
two cups Of milk are added. The
cooking continues for another hall
hour. BY this time the rice is SC
soft 1t may be mashed and becomes
"creaming" element, blending with
the milk and broth to form prac-
tically creamed chicken soup with
the merest suspicion of ham flavor
Carefully done, it resembles the
creamed chicken soup so popular
in Latin America-the "canja."
Now, the lamb shanks. Here are
little used portions of lamb, but
very good to eat-each shank about
the size of turkey leg-and each
generous portion. Better ask
your meat man in advance to gel
them for you. He may have te
order them. Wash and wipe them
clean and dry. Mix salt and pepper
In some flour and dip the shanks
Then, in a little cooking fat
brown them well, and into a brais-
ing pan-with little water in the
bottom while you pot roast" them
When they are tender, remove to
platter and keep them hot. Strain
the liquid in the pan and return
Have ready some small Drowned
potatoes, some small, lightly brown
ed and cooked onions, a few left
over green peas and some parsley
Add these to the gravy, and heat
all together. Lay your larnb shanks
onto . large platter, pour the sauce
ever and around, and serve.

18th Century Monastery
Crossed Ocean i'm Cases

The 18th century Spanish monas-
terry which Mr.. William Randolph
Hearst purchased and had shipped
to America in specially chartered
steamer in 1928 has been sold to
an anonymous buyer for $780, 900.
Twice this sum was spent on re-
packing the monastery, after it ar
rived in the United States in 0,500
cases. This had to be done be-
cause the stones had been wrapped
in straw, and it was discovered too
late that it was illegal-for SAM
tary reasons-to import straw. Mr..
Hearst is believed to have spent
$500, 900 on the monastery. It has
been estimated that it will cost an
other $l25,000 to transport it from
it's present resting place in New
York warehouse to wherever it ID
to be regretted.
