Roundup

Cape Coolers are great ones fO1
cranberries, as you know. Most OF
the berries in Eastern markets come
from the bogs of the Cape. A favor
ite dessert is STEAMED GRAN.
BERRY PUDDING, made like this
Mix cup of flour, sifted with l
teaspoon baking powder and "a tea
spoon of salt, with % cup brown
sugar and II cup of bread crumbs
Work in q cup of suet and then add

and picked over. Mix in l whole
egg, beaten, and about 70 cup Of
water.
Turn the mixture into a creased
mold and steam for 2 hours. Serve
hot with either hard sauce or foamy
sauce. Whipped cream is good, too,
if your figure, both financial and
physical, can stand it.
RICE FRITTERS are good for a
meatless meal, for they are filling
and, If properly prepared, very tasty
You may serve them with catsup il

use them as dessert course, pour
maple sirup over them.

light and mix them with l cup of
boiled rice, 4 tablespoons melted
butter or margarine and a scant
teaspoon of salt.

into hot, deep fat and fry to a
golden brown. Drain on paper towels
and serve as hot as possible.
How about PUMPKIN PIE for

many years. You can make 1t with
canned pumpkin, Of course, but right

appliances safe as well as a con-
venient place to stand if you want
to keep them in good condition and
avoid repair bills. Drainboards are

Random Ideas for Meatless Meals

meatless meals in her efforts to con-
serve foods. 1t is hard for many,
accustomed to eating meat often, to
find palatable substitutes-and the
cook goes distractedly on the hunt
for new ideas.
Well, of course, there is the dear
old vegetable plate. which can be
q tasty and nourishing main dish.

better. For two people nice salad
is one apple, one banana, chopped
celery and mayonnaise. Cottage
cheese makes nice salad when
hard-boiled eggs, celery, green pep
per and mayonnaise are added.
Stew beef boiled with egg noodles,
or macaroni added makes a nice,
inexpensive main dish. Also chicken
and dumplings are much improved
| If the chicken is boned after cooking
and the bits of chicken added to
the dumplings. The vanilla pud-
dings, SO popular, make nice sauces

LOST OATMEAL BREAD?
(Fron, Mrs. r. L. W, =
Man,droneck, N. "
I am writing you as my last resort
in locating one of my most priced
recipes, which by some calamity, I
seem to have lost.
About two years ago, when I was
living in Washington I clipped from
the RICH a superb recipe for oat-
meal bread with nuts and prunes.
It was NOT a yeast bread, but I
don't remember If 1t called for soda
or baking powder.
Since discovering the loss Of 1t,
I've looked through every cook book
I can find, but I can't locate even
an approximate recipe.
If the original donor Of the recipe
sees this will she please send it in to
be reprinted or forwarded to me by
RICH? Or perhaps other readers
may have copy they can spare.
I was always an admirer of your
Woman's Page; there is nothing in
the New York press to equal it, and
I've tried most of them.

files, either, so 1Ue hope you read

SAVING BREAD.

From Mrs. w. B. T., Haymarket.) J
AS we have been called upon by
our President to save every crumb
of bread, and as it's such a mat
ter of grave importance if we don't,
I am giving some suggestions by
which we may use, and thereby
save, leftover, stale bits Of bread.
OF course we must strive not to
have bread "eft over" to get stale
on our hands, but try as we will
there are bound to be a few pieces,
a piece of toast left from breakfast,
a half piece of bread Junior didn't
eat, a heel which no one wants,
some in your family may not eat
the crust of the bread. I would sug-
gest even the crusts be saved and
all such pieces be dried thoroughly,
to prevent moulding and put away
for future use in puddings, etc, a
nice bread pudding could take the
place Of a cake, saving flour.
Brown Apple Betty" is nice using
stale bread, and could be served
sometimes in place of apple pie,
again saving -four.
The bread, when very dry, can
be rolled into fine crumbs and used
in all sorts of croquettes. Fried
oysters or egg plant, also used in
meat loaf to help stretch the meat
which must be used sparingly.
These crumbs will keep indefinitely
if kept in brown paper bag in a
dry place.

bread and meats. Let's hear from
