Be Economical
And Purchase
Large Roast
Can Be Serued Hot,
Cold; Casserole
OF Letf0verS

The purchase of a comparatively
large roast is an economical prac-
tlce. Hot for one dinner and per-
hapS cold for another, the left
overs will form the basis for many
dishes. 1t Is amazing how much
meat can be found nesting be-
tween bits of gristle and next to
the bone.
Besides hash there are innumer-
able other uses for minced meat
Don't grind meat of this sort as
this process seems to have an un-
favorable effect upon the flavor OF
cooked meat. 1t is much better
to cut it or chop it,
An attractive casserole makes a
leftover meat dish seem like some
thing special. A combination of
meat, onions, tomato soup and but
tered bread crumbs. which comes
out of the oven golden brown, is
very tasty. The casserole may be
lined with cooked noodles or boiled
rice and then filled with meat and
sauce in which the leftover
gravy has figured. A cream sauce
is always better for an addition of
this sort.

our American boys are now carry
ing the war. For instance, let us
go, In fancy, to North Africa, to
Tunis and Algiers. Even in times
of so-called peace and prosperity,
men. women and children in those
exotic and fantastic lands know little
of the lavish uses of foods as we
know them in America. 1t may be
a good idea, for a Victory meal, to
just take a page from an Algerian
cookbook, and see what sort of din
ner we'd have.
At any rate, our main dish will
have an interesting name. "Tche-
ckuka." This is a good, wholesome
affair, prepared in baking dish or
casserole. We shall make enough
for four persons. so first we must
find our casserole. In Northern
Africa, it would be an earthenware
baking dish, maybe with, maybe
without short handle, or even
two knobs.
First we use a little frying pan to
fix our onion cooked in oil. Half q
cup of Clipped onion (and a nubbin
OF garlic, unless the family rebels
and half cup of olive oil are cooked
together for a few minutes. Then
TO this mixture add two cups of
chopped or canned tomatoes, to-
gether with a pinch Of cayenne pep
per half a teaspoon salt and one cup
OF sweet green pepper, chopped fine.
Mix all this we'll and then place in
your baking dish and bake in a me-
d1um oven for an hour and a half
1t should come out soft and must not
be dry. If it dries too much In the
oven, add little tomato Juice from
time to time. The baking dish
should be about three-quarters full
when done. Break open and place
on top of the baked mixture one or
two eggs per person. Season with a
dash of salt and pepper and some
chopped parsley or mint leaves.
Cover the pot and return to oven
for about 10 minutes while the eggs
cook.

pieneliul or cheap, are also to be
mad. Other substitutes for the
roasts and steaks of happier days
include the meat sundries, such as
AVer-especially calf's and hog liver
heart, brains, kidneys, barbecue
sparer1bs, which have more meat
on them than the usual kind. and
various parts of our friend the pig
sucn as ears, hooks, snouts, tails,
feet and chittlins.
Ihen, OF course, there will be nice
fresh fish on hand, among them
croakers, sea bass, bay rock, red
snapper, scallops, oysters, and some
shad from Florida. The latter is
mostly buck shad and don't expect
shad roe as early as this. The roes
don't develop properly until the
fish are nearly as far north as the
Potomac.
There's plenty of cheese around,
and though eggs are high, you can
use them for a main dish OCCASION
ally. so, all in all, you're not so bad
ly off! Bacon, in most markets, is
among the missing, along with but
ter-although yesterday we did see
one dealer in large local market SO
busy slicing new shipment of
bacon that he could hardly find time
to wait on customers Don't call us
to know his name-its all gone by
now, probably. We didn't buy any,
personally, but there was quite a
lineup waiting beside the slicing
machine.
You'll be encouraged by the fact
that several produce items have
taken distinct drop in price this
week. Broccoli, caulif1ower and
spinach are some of them, and string
beans of high quality are quite rea-
sonable, too There's fine green

their weight in gold. Baby beets,
collards and mustard greens, new
potatoes, leeks and white patty

celery cabbage at present, but there's

for coleslaw
Fruits show little change from last
week, with the exception OF the
arrival of Satsuma oranges very
like tangerines, only bigger, and
paler in color.
Some scarcities in certain canned
goods showed up this week IN various
stores and markets-notably canned
tomato soup, which has done

incidentally, there seems to be mis-
taken impression around town that
there Is a threatened or existent
shortage of canned baby foods; this
Is not true, and there is an adequate
supply for every one. This situation
should continue, dealers assure us,
as baby foods are definitely NOT
being curtailed. (And even If they

Some NewUses for
Versatile Avocado

Fresh fruits straight from win
ter orchards aren't on our ra-
toned list today, and their va
riety fills numerous needs. You'd
never expect to, find a fruit per-
haps that fits into sandwich
making well enough to qualify
for war workers lunch box.
But avocado pears have what it
takes in their moist character
and splendid fruit energy.
Sailors who first discovered
avocados in tropical climes called
them "midshipmen's butter" and
although the fruit cannot COM
pete with butter in calories, the
precious fruit oil of the modern
avocado is the source of unusual
food energy in especially digesti-
BILE form. This and other factors
make the avocado a find for
sandwich making now that meat
Is hard to get. You can exc out
a meager supply of meat with
sliced avocado or you can use
the sliced fruit as the sole sand
wich ingredient with prepared
horseradish, mustard, sliced
onion, pickle. etcetera, with the
same satisfying results as when
you use these condiments with
meat.
Sprinkle the prepared fruit
with lemon juice for color fresh
ness and good flavor contrast.
Add a sprinkling of salt or onion
salt. Use sliced avocado alone
or combine with dried beef,
minced ham, corned beef or
hamburger for the sort of sand
wich that satisfies a hungry
worker. One of our basic hun
gers is that of a need for min
erals and vitamins, and it is this
second hunger that the avocado
helps satisfy as we'll as the better
known one that comes from good
appetite,

are not enough eggs on hand when
the solution is first made, more
eggs may be added from time to

least inches of the solution COW

Keep the crock containing the
preserved eggs in a cool, dry place,
well covered to prevent evaporation.
1t should be kept in a place where
1t will not need to be moved after
the eggs are put in the water glass.
When eggs preserved in water
glass are to be cooked In water. a
small hole should be made in the

before placing them in the water.
This will allow the air in the. egg to
escape without cracking the shell

net profit for the six months ended
July 81 of $7,030, 1893, equal to $I.21
common share.
Net profit for the same period last
year was $12 DAB .332. or SALT q share.
Sales for the six months period
were s284 ,372 OBS In 1943 and $277,-
1876 for that time last year.
Sewen Avery, chairman of the
board, said that the spring 1943
catalogue had brought the greatest
demand for merchandise of any
previous spring book. The total
dollar value of mail orders received
during the six months increased 40
per cent over last year, but one
third of the orders for merchandise
listed in the catalogue could not be
filled because of inadequate de-
hveries.
Avery said that 1900 employees who
handled mail orders which could not
be filed had returned SIS, 900 900 to
disappointed customers. The cost of
handling these orders and the loss
OF profit due to the impossibility of
filing them, he said, converted the
