Baby's Lotion
Good for Mother

You can make your baby's bath

you beauty bonus by filching some
of His Nibs skin lotion for your

a young mother who says it took a
bad case of charwoman's knuckles,
caused by frequent skirmishes with
washing clothes, to put her wise.
To remedy the beauty blight, she
says she choosily picked baby
lotion for junior-one, Of course, to
safeguard his tender skin from head
to foot-Which would also make his

still likes to hold Her choice-and
one that she uses much oftener than
most women use hand cream-is

Streaming Soup
Can Be Meal
In Itself
BY GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Staff Writer


Steaming, fragrant soups-soups
pungent bookful of them-that's
what my old friend Mary Frost
Mabon has just presented hunger
ing world. Her 168-page book, "A
Meal in ITSELF" is joy to read and
salvation to ration-worried home
cooks.
Here are two samples from "A
Meal in Itself"
Split Pea Soup
Two cups dried split peas, ham
slice weighing about l pound Cor
ham bone with some meat on it,
or about l pound bacon in one
piece; or two or pigs feet, rinsed,
split and pre-cooked for l hour
in salted water) 2 medium on
ions, diced fine; green tops Of a
bunch of celery, chopped fine; 2
quarts water, including any left
from soaking peas; " teaspoon
pepper, salt to taste, added at the
end; u pound smoked sausage
(optionaD. To serve with the soup,
large croutonS or strips of dark
heavy bread, toasted
Soak split peas overnight (and
part of next day if poSsible) in
ample water to cover. (This will not
be necessary with the new quick
cooking kind0 The soup takes over,
rather than under, 2 hours to cook,
but can stand and wait indefinitely
IT. is even better reheated
Place peas, water they have soak
ed in, and enough more water to
make up 2 quarts, in heavy large
soup kettle or iron pot (use asbestos
mat underneath if you have only a
lightweight pot. Add chopped celery
diced onions, ham slice or alternates
and pepper. Do not add salt at this
time. Cover pot and cook slowly over
low heat for about 2 hours from
time it starts to boil. After IL
hours, add smoked sausage if it is
used. When done taste for salt. Fish
out meat (removing fat from the
latter if you wish, cut it in strips
and return to soup; serve.
Cabbage Soup tSOupe aux ChOuX)
lScrves ~
Here is a charming version of
soupe aux chouX, a recipe of the
inimitable and gargantuan Ma
grin's, former cnei of the Norman
die. One-half cabbage, potatoes,
4 leeks, ~ quarts boiling water,
salt and pepper, Y cup cream, but
ter the size of walnut.
Rinse we'll and cut up in big dice
cabbage, leeks and potatoes in suf-
ficient quantity. Throw these vege-
tables into rapidly boiling water Il Il
quarts does nicely, seasoning with
salt and little pepper. Continue to
boil very rapidly till vegetables are
tender us to 20 minutes). Then
with the fire turned low, add cream
and the butter in little bits. That
all there is to it and it couldn't
be easier. A big plate of it is an
easy-to-prepare comforting one-dish
supper. Chopped hardboiled egg
sprinkled on top makes it a heartier
meal.
