TO CHEAPEN LIVING COST |
Advice About the Best Kinds of Foods
That Should Be Selected and
Prepared.
A bulletin published by the New
York department of health suggests
a number of charges in diet by which
money can l>e saved without sacrificing
nutriment.
"Cereals, such as eorumeal. hominy,
and especially oatmeal," the bulletin
say-, "are rich in nourishment, and are
much cheaper than patented cereals. I
“American cheese, dried beaus, and
oeus are comparatively cheap, and con
tain a great deal of protein, which is
the most important food element found
in meat,
“Oleomargarine is a very satisfac
tory and economical substitute for but
ter. Unfortunately, its use in public
institutions is prohibited by law.
“Rice is very cheap food and can be
.served in many ‘ different styles. It {
should be used more frequently than it
is in the dietary of those of moderate 1
means. It contains a very high per- j
ventage of carbohydrates, one of the '
very necessary forms of nourishment, j
Everyone knows how extensively it is
used among the peoples of Asia, where ;
it has served as the chief article of
diet from time immemorial.
“It should not be necessary to state
that bread, preferably of whole wheat, i
a form which is rich in very important '
food elements called ‘vifamines.' also
sugar and potatoes, should occupy
prominent places in the dietary of the
working man and woman.
“There are many other cheap food
stuffs, a notable one being macaroni
and cheese. When these are used
judiciously, they serve to lessen the
cost of the dietary without in any way j
impairing its food value.
ONCE A DAY OFTEN ENOUGH
Assertion Made That Women Need Not
Put In So Much Time Wash
ing Dishes.
"The careful housekeeper will al
i ways resent the suggestion that once a
day is often enough to wash dishes.”
j writes Dr. H. Barnard In "Table Talk”
in the National Food Magazine. "She
cannot train herself to allow soiled
plates and silverware to stack up from
one meal to the'next, for she has been
taught that such actions are evidence
of shiftless, slovenly housekeep
ing. As a matter of fact, along with
many other notions which are fixed in
the operation of the home, both time
and energy are saved by cutting out
two of the three daily dish-washing
jobs."
Doctor Barnard goes on to recite
the experience of one housekeeper who
actually dared study the homely work
of d ashing. One week she
wash,-i dishes three times a day; the
next week she washed each day’s
dishes altogether. She used the same
number of dishes each day in both
weeks. She found that it took her
ol minutes a day to wash after each |
meal and 41 minutes a day to wash
them once a day.
This took account only of time, hut
there was a considerable additional
saving in gas or fuel consumed by
heating water once instead of thrice a
day. to say nothing of the saviug in
soap.
Fig Gems.
Heat one cupful sweet milk, add one
cupful sugar, one half teaspoonful salt,
one tea spoonful huuer. This is set
aside to cool. In your mixing bowl put
one aud one-half cupfuls graham flour,
one cupful white flour, two teaspoon
fuls baking powder. Add one egg well
beaten to this and then gradually add
your other ingredients, which must be
cold. Now. after all is well blended,
.add one cupful chopped figs which
have been well floured. Grease gem
pans and bake a golden brown.
Creamed Corn.
Chop finely one cupful of canned
coni, and half a capful of heavy
cream, the unbeaten whites of three
eggs, one-half teasj>oonful of salt and
one-eightli of a teaspoonful of white
pepper and beat well with a silver
fork. Butter a baking dish, sprinkle
with finely-chopped parsley, pour in
the corn mixture, stand the dough in
a pan of hot water and bake about
twenty-five minutes. Sene with to
mato sauce.
Steamed Brown Bread.
One cupful molasses, two cupfuls sour
milk, one-half teaspoonful salt, one
teaspoouful sodaf three cupfuls corn
meal. one cupful either white or gra
ham flour. Steam in covered dish three
hours. The kind of flour can be varied
to suit taste. Equal parts of graham
and cornmeal can be used.
This is very good sliced and reheat
ed in the steamer, making an excellent
breakfast dish.—Xew York Evening
Sun.
Refreshing Drink.
A most refreshing and nourishing
drink is made from half a glass of
sour cream, half a glass of rich milk
and a pinch of salt. Beat together
witli an egg beater until light and
smooth. Pour into a tall glass, over
the top put a thin coating of pulver
ized nut meats, and over this a scant
grating of nutmeg. Served cold with
a couple of crackers, this makes aD
appetizing light luncheon.
------
Prune Almond.
Boil together one cupful of granu
lated sugar and one-third cupful of
boiling water without stirring until It
forms a soft ball in cold water. Pour
It over the stiffly beaten white of an
egg and beat until creamy. Add one
half cupful of stoned stewed prunes
and one-third cupful of blanched
chopped almonds. Beat well, then put
between layers of cake.
Junket.
The following recipes are suitable
for small families: Crush one-fourth
junket tablet let dissolve in one table
spoonful cold water, heat one cupful I
milk, two or three tablespoonfuls sugar. 1
take from fire, add one-half teaspoon
ful vanilla and the dissolved tablet;
let stand in warm place until it jellies,
then set in cold place.

FIRST MOVE FOR TEMPERANCE
Drinking Regulation Made by English
Monarch, Who Reigned Nearly a
Thc-isand Years Ago.
A drinking cup that held an aver
age of about two quarts figured in the
first prohibition measure ever known
In the English-speaking world, accord
ing to legend, which tells of the days
of King Edgar, a monarch of England
nearly 1,000 years ago.
At that time the common drink was
ale. and the cups it was served in were
enormous. The king caused barkeep
ers to place in these huge tankards
eight pegs, spaced equally apart, and
provided heavy penalties for any per
son who would drink from one peg
to another without stopping. He also
limited the number of alehouses to
one for each small town, with proper
I tionate numbers for larger places.
Xo further prohibitive measures
were undertaken until the days of
Henry YH. who empowered justices
of the i*»ace to stop the common sell
ing of strong ale whenever they con
sidered it necessary.
Do Not Lend Your Keys.
If you happen to he walkiug along
the street and someone asks yon to
let him have your bunch of keys for
a moment, don't do it. They will tell
you that they have forgotten their own
keys and they want to try your key
to get into their home. It is a fraud.
Someone we know did it the other
day. The thief actually took the im
pression in wax of the key. Then he
got a key made. Then he robbed the
apartment. It sounds strange, but. like
all things that arc true, it is strange.—

FLAGLER HEIRESS TO WED
Miss Louise Wise, whose parents.
Mr. ami Mrs. S. K. Wise of Wilming
ton. X. C.. have announced her en
gagement to Lawrence Lewis of Cin
cinnati and White Sulphur Springs.
W. Va. Miss Wise is a niece of Mrs.
R. W. Ringhnm, who was Mrs. Henry
M. Flagler, and is to inherit the bulk
of the Flagler fortune.
What You Are.
Now. therefore, see that no day
passes in which you do not make your
self a somewhat better creature, and
in order to do tliat find out first what
you are now. Do not think vaguely
about it; take pen and paper and
write down as accurate a description
of yourself as you can. with the date
to it. If you dare not do so find out
why you dare not. ... 1 do not doubt
hut that the mind is a less pleasant
thing to look at than the face, and for.
that very reason it needs more looking
at: so always have two mirrors on
your toilet table, and see that with
proper care you dress body and mind
iiefore them daily. After the dressing
is once over for the day. think no more
of it. I don't want to carry about
a mental poeketcomb; only to be
smooth-braided always in the morning.'
—Ruskin.
