BABY PROBLEMS.
(ThdnkS to Mrs. W. B. D.,
IU1ch ;uufo77 !


To the reader who couldn't get
her 8-month-old baby to drink from
a cup without spilling I would say,
60 back to the bottle, except for the
small portion of milk at each meal
that he can manage from the cup.
My first child was off the bottle
early and I am convinced that is
why she started sucking her thumb.
There is plenty of time for your
child to start with the cup. Eight
months is too early.
Now, for the problem of my own.
My little thumbsucker has developed
a. new habit-picking pieces of her
blanket in bed, which she holds in
one hand while sucking the thumb
of the other hand. 1t is running the
blankets. Can any one suggest a
remedy?

favored spaghetti sauce, p Jar
stuffed olives, can of mushrooms.
Slice onions and green peppers
and brown in cooking oil. Add
ground meat and brown thoroughly.
Add the 2 cans of mushroom
favored spaghetti sauce and the
large can of tomato juice. Cover
and let simmer slowly for at least
l hour. The longer it SINNERS the
better it is (some people insist on
3 to 4 hours, but / hour suits me)
Add the can of mushrooms and as
many olives as you desire, halve
them first. Simmer about u hour
longer. Do not add any salt to the
above.
This amount of sauce is enough
for 10 to IL people. The amount
of tomato juice used really governs
the number that can be served.
Now cook the correct amount Of
spaghetti for the number to be
served (and cook plenty as people
simply stuff themselves on this)
| Boil the spaghetti in salted water
until it is soft enough to eat but
not too done. Drain and add the
spaghetti to the sauce and let the
whole business simmer for about y
hour. Serve at once with grated
Italian cheese, or put it away and
serve it the next day.
When this mixture stands over
night the spaghetti absorbs good
deal of the sauce, making it more
| ii if ,ot
originally made the sauce thin
enough the mixture may seem too
pudgy and thick and necessitate
thinning a bit. Use water to thin
if you are in hurry to serve your
guests. If you add more tomato
juice remember that it must SIM
mer long enough to take off the
raw juice taste.
If you are short on red points
with which to buy the best quality
ground round steak, almost any kind
of ground meat is OK. To stretch
your sauce further, do as the restau-
rants do, simply pour the sauce over
the spaghetti at the time you
serve it,
Once, just before serving. I added
a cup of cooked peas and they look
ed very pretty
The above with Italian bread and
a salad and dessert makes a nice
party You can use half this recipe
