DR.. George Lawton, psychologist
and author of the book, aging Sue
cessfully," recently published by the
Columbia University Press, bravely
comes forth with many suggestions
as to how women can stay young,
such as: Maintaining sense of hu-
NOR; not taking ourselves too ser
iously: and struggling off the hectic
ness of every day life with smile.
In reply to this, would suggest
that DR.. Lawton try doing little
grocery shopping these days and see
if he doesn't come up with head
ache and a very bad disposition.
During the War we thought we were
very good budgeteers, stretching here
and there so that our food budget
would balance at the end of the
month, and since that time we have
continued to stretch that budget,
until now it just won't give any more
to take care of 5 to 7 cents increase
in coffee, sugar, soap, salad dressings
and all fruits and vegetables. And as
to meat, well when the price of a
half pound of breakfast bacon is
what normally should be the price of
a pound, and all kinds of beef veal
etc. have also advanced accordingly,
the manufacturers of headache pills
and powders are going to do big
business.
We are told that we Americans
Just eat too much meat; that for
some time to come the supply of
meat will not meet the demand; and
that therefore prices will continue
to soar With this being true, we
will have to turn again to other foods
to take the place of ced meats, such
as fish and other sea food, eggs,
cheese (Which is far from cheap
and the cheaper cuts of meats. So
as a starter along this line we'll try:
POtatObergers
/ quart of raw potatoes ground fine
after peeling
L pound OF ground DeeI
teaspoon of chopped or grated
onion (optionaD
Make into cakes and fry in deep
fat or frying pan. Serve plain or
with tomato sauce. mo doubt
"Wimpy' would like some of these.)
Here are two recipes for meat loaf,
both highly recommended by the
donors:
Meat Loaf
l pound of ground meat
"a pound of beef and IA pound
of pork, or all beef, will do)
u cup of bread crumbs
l egg
y cup of canned tomatoes
teaspoons of minced celery
2 teaspoons of minced green pep
per
teaspoon of chopped parsley
p teaspoon of salt
l small onion minced
l teaspoon of fat
u teaspoon of pepper
Saute all the vegetables together
in the fat. Add all other ingredients
to the meat. Shape into a loaf and
place in baking dish. Bake at 1926
degrees for l Y hours Make brown
gravy from the pan drippings, or add
tomato catsup or PURGE, to make
tomato sauce
Meat Loaf
~ pounds of beef or beef and
pork
III cups of very dry bread crumbs
112 cups of tomato juice
egg
l small onion, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Pour the tomato juice over the
bread crumbs to soften. Add the
meat and other ingredients. Form
into loaf and bake in a 325-degree
oven for about ~ hours. Minced
green pepper can be added If you
like. This makes a soft loaf, if you
like firmer loaf, use less tomato
juice.
Beef tongue, either smoked or
fresh, makes a nice change when
boiled and served with horse rad
ish, or raisin, sauce. When preparing
the smoked tongue first clean it
thoroughly then let soak in cold
water over night. Wash with brush
