Potatoes, Teamed With Eggs, Are a Delicious Meat-Saver
(Sec Recipes Below.)
Meat Savers
Voluntary meat rationing is al
ready in process. This period be
fore the actual
rationing starts—
and limits—each
person to 2 'A
pounds of meat
a week is the
time for every
Mrs. America to
take stock and
plan for the days ahead—days when
she neatly tucks her meat ration
book beside her sugar ration books
and goes to market.
Sugar rationing has been a chal
lenge, but a challenge which home
makers have met. Meat rationing
will be even more of a challenge—
for many are the homes where meat
has been set on the table twice and
even three times a day. But this
challenge, too, will be met, for there
■re many ways of tiding over the
days when meat supplies will be
low.
Let's first look at the situation
from the nutritional standpoint, for
good health and well-being is a first
goal. Meat is primarily preferred
because it is what is known as a
complete protein—containing all dif
ferent types of proteins that the body
needs for building and repairing
down-and-out tissues.
The sources for protein you’ll tap
first are fish and fowl, cheese and
milk. We have excellent supplies
of all these so there will be no ex
cuse for missing out on your quota.
Meat is excellent for its minerals,
but the meat-savers mentioned
above are also famous for their
minerals—calcium, phosphorus and
iron.
Now, let’s get down to the busi
ness of serving these foods appetiz
ingly and attrac
tively. Fall is the
season for many
kinds of flsh—and
your butcher will j
help you out on I
what's a real bar- *
gain. Canned flsh '
is now somewhat
scarce, but fresh-frozen fillets are
easy-to-use Items, minus the cook
ing odor which many find objection
able Try this idea:
Fillets hi Tomato Sauce.
(Serve* 6 to 8)
2 pounds fish fillets (halibut,
perch, pike, whltefish, salmon)
2 cops tomato pulp
1 cup water
€ whole clove*
2 bay leaves
6 peppercorns
H teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
Place fish on a greased baking
sheet and sprinkle with salt and pep
Lynn Says:
The Score Card: The question
is being asked these days as to
how much meat will actually be
allowed per person in the civilian
Share-the-Meat program. The an
swer Is 2*6 pounds, which means
meat as it is passed over the coun
ter to you by the butcher—includ
ing meat, bone, gristle and fat.
Meats with little waste include
the highly nutritious cuts like liv
er, heart, kidneys, sweetbreads
and brains. Canned meat, sau
sage. scrapple, souse and simi
lar products will not be subject
to restrictions.
Fall fruit specials still include
apples, grapes, pears, and de
lightful persimmons — good for
canning or for puddings. Cran
berries are brightening counters
and menus.
Squash, pumpkin and sweet po
tatoes are holding their own. and
here and there peek spinach,
broccoli and brussels sprouts.
With less foods to choose, the
smart homemaker will season to
the best of her ability those she
has. There is mustard grown
here in our own country, and pap
rika, too. Cayenne from Louisi
ana, and chili, American grown,
are earning a fine place on the
cook's spioe shelf.

HUy VIRGINIA VALE
»ed by Western Newspaper Union.
ARSHA HUNT has
learned how to find a
movie actress in a big city.
Recently she and Ann Ruther
ford were both in New York,
and both on personal business
trips, so they hadn’t given the
M-G-M office their addresses.
So, though they wanted to
meet, they couldn’t locate
each other. The day before return
ing to Hollywood for “The Human
Comedy,” Marsha, besieged by fans
asking for autographs, asked one if
he knew where Ann was staying.
“Sure—right on the floor above
you!” he replied.
-*
And, speaking of autographs—Vir
ginia Weidler’s new picture, “The
Youngest Profession,” is about
them. In it William Powell will ap
pear as himself; he’s Virginia’s
screen idol, and her efforts to get
his autograph lead to a series of
hilarious situations.
-*
Success Story; in 1940 Margaret
Hayes was voted the best artists’
model, then the best photographers’
model. She's made some pictures
—had the feminine lead in “In Old
Colorado” and a featured role in
MARGARET HAYES
"New York Town,” and Goldwyn
picked her for a principal support
ing role in "They Got Me Cov
ered.” Now she’s in New York for
three radio shows and a Broadway
stage production!

Dick Powell teaches a class in
navigation between his scenes in
“True to Life" at Paramount. He’s
an expert yachtsman, and some of
the younger members of the com
pany who are preparing themselves
for flying and marine service In the
war asked him to do it.

Neither Claudette Colbert nor
Rudy Vallee cares for eggs in the
raw—but for a scene in "The Palm
Beach Stocy" they each were to
swallow three “prairie oysters,” con
coctions of raw eggs, Worcestershire
sauce, etc. The property man prom
ised to fix up something that would
look like the genuine article but
avoid the raw egg difficulty. He did
—but the substitute was apricots in
root beer!
—
It looks as if Warner's "Air
Force” might turn into one of those
star-maker pictures. John Garfield
and Harry Carey are the only time
tested stars of the production; the
youngsters of whom Director How
ard Hawks has hopes are Gig
Young, John Rldgely, Arthur Ken
nedy, Charles Drake, Ray Mont
gomery, Ward Wood and James
Brown. The first two have an edge
on the others.

Arch Oboler, writer-producer of
the weekly show “Lights Out,” has
a new book of radio plays, “Plays
for Americans.” As he’s a top-notch
writer for radio, aspirants can’t do
better than get a copy and study it.
Sponsored by the Association for Ed
ucation by Radio, the plays, through
agreement with Oboler, are avail
able to any group free of royalties
for the duration of the war.
Jack Pearl used to sign his name
to letters, and beneath it “World's

'Schools at ar’ Program
To Help Smash Dictators
A national campaign- is under way to enroll the nation’s
32,000,000 school children in the war effort. This campaign,
known as the “Schools at War” program, was launched by
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt in Washington, D. C., recently.
Speaking over a national radio hookup and before 4,000 Dis
trict of Columbia school children, Mrs. Roosevelt urged the
boys and girls of the nation to dedicate themselves to active
participation in the war effort through this program.
Many of the Capital schools participated in the cere
monies which marked the opening of this notable campaign.
These photos will furnish ideas for other schools that are
anxious to enroll their pupils in the important work of doing
their bit towards whipping the enemies of freedom.
A color guard composed of Dis
trict of Columbia school boy cadets
marches up Constitution avenue.
Scrap collection, another vital phase of school children s war
activities, is the theme of this section of the Schools at War parade.
A healthy nation is a fighting
nation, and the school children
of America can do their bit by
preaching and practicing the
value of nutrition, as is being
done by these school girls.

Witness Exerted Himself
A Bit to Put It Nicely
During the progress of a law
suit, a witness was cross-exam
ined regarding the habits and
character of the defendant.
“Has Mr. M-a reputation for
being abnormally lazy?” asked
counsel, briskly.
“Well, sir, it’s this way—”
“Will you kindly answer the
question asked?” struck in the
irascible lawyer.
“Well, sir, I was going to say
it’s this way: I don’t want to do
the defendant an injustice, and I
won’t go so far as to say he’s lazy
exactly; but if it required any vol
untary work on his part to digest
his food, he’d die from lack of
nourishment.”

f Treat Constipation ^
This Gentler Way! |
Many folks say that almost as
bad as constipation are harsh
cathartics and purges. That’s
because many medicinal laxa
tives work this way: they either
prod the intestines Into action
or draw moisture into them from
other parts of the body.
Now comes news of a gentler
and pleasanter way of treating
constipation, for the millions of
people with normal intestines
whose trouble is due to lack of
•‘bulk’’ in the diet. This way is by
eating KELLOGG’S ALL-BRAN,
a crisp, delicious cereal, and
drinking plenty of water.
ALL-BRAN, unlike many medici
nal laxatives, acts principally on
the contents of the colon and
helps you to have easy, normal
elimination. ALL-BRAN is made
by Kellogg's in Battle Creek. If
your condition is not helped by
this simple treatment, better see
y^your doctor. _ j
