MINERAL FOODS.
When people in general use the
term, "food value," they mean the
value of a certain food -calculated in
heat uits, called calories. That is, so
much of this certain food gives so
modi heat and energy to the body.
All fuel foods (the fats and carbo
hydrates), and protein give this heat
and energy. However, the body can
not be kepf'in perfect health from
fuel and body-building foods alone.
We .need them,-but we need other
things also. The need fpr water, one
of the five foodstuffs, is rather well
understood. The need for mineral
matter (also called "ash") the last of
the five foodstuffs, is equally import
ant. Though we think of protein as
the typical body-building food, min
eral matter is essential for the build
ing of the body framework. Thus
the children's disease of rickets or
soft bones is caused from a lack of
this important substance.
In addition to the body-building
function, mineral matter aids in the
regulation of the body. The body
fluids, such as the blood, the lymph,
the digestive juices, and the gland
secretions, can be kept in proper con'
dition only by the supplying of min
eral matter in the diet. It is a fa
miliar fact that blood must have iron
or it cannot carry oxygen to all parts
of the body. A vital part of the body
regulation is the proper elimination of
food waste from the, digestive tract,
We used to think that "roughage', or
food containing much fiber aided in
this elimination. We still think that
coarse foods, such as the hulls of
grains, help in this process, tout we
know that part of the effect at least
is due to the mineral ptatter con
tained. V , ; - " "
Fortunately for' most of us, we in
stinctively supply foods containing
this important. foodtuff; but it it
well to. know which foods are es
pecially rich in it, and which foods
contain which kinds. The general
sources of all mineral matter are
eggs, milk, outer parts of grains, fresh
fruits and vegetables. While the
body requires many kinds of min
eral matter, such as sulphur, sodium,
chlorine, magnesium, calcuim, potas
sium, iton and 'phosphorus, certain
kinds r are supplied in nearly all
dietaries without any special thought.
Thus we all use enough table salt
to supply sodium and chlorine, and
sulphur occurs in most protein foods.
Of the other kinds of ash three 'are
most important, viz., iroh, phosphorus
and calcium. A recent book, "Text
book of Cooking," by Carlotta 'Greer,
gives the following lists of foods
rich in the different forms of ash:

The same author makes these state
ments: -..,;.-.
"The mgst practical and effective
way of. obtaining calcium is to use a
generous supply of milk. Milk, egg
yolk, cheese, whole grains and vege
tables are the most satisfactory
sources of phosphorus. The iron
found in eggs, milk and vegetable
foods is thought to be more com
pletely assimilated than that found in
meat Spinach and prunes are valua
ble sources of irxm." .
The particular use of calcium, is to
supply bone building material, and it
also helps the thyroid gland, whicfi is
concerned with growth and general
health. Phosphorus is needed espe
cially for nerve tissue, though he idea
that certain foods, such as celery, are
"good for the nerves," is a fallacy.
Iron is necessary for the making of
blood and in certain body processes.
' With these facts in mind, it cannot
be too strongly urged that mineral
matter be supplied in the diet. Peo
ple are so apt .to think of fruits and
vegetables, except potatoes, as luxur
ies on the table when one must count
every penny, They are not luxuries,
but real necessities, though 'the
cheaper fruits and vegetables answer
the same purpose as the more expen
sive! ones. A salad at dinner is not a

luxury, either; but may well take the
place of a dessert unless the dessert
is fruit. -A generous use of foods sup
plying ash will aid materially in main
taining perfect health.
Honey for Cakes and
Cookies.
The following recipes are taken
from the government bulletin on
"Honey and Its Uses in the Home,"
a pamphlet which can be had from
the Department of Agriculture and is
verv well worth study.
Honey is a fuel food, a carbohy
drate, and is composed or four parts
suear to one cart water. There are
three kinds oa sugar in its composi
tion, cane, grape and fruit; the pre
ponderance of grape sugar or dextose
is what makes the honey granulate
so easily.
When honey is used instead of
sugar in the making of cakes and
cookies they will keep moist and
fresh much longer, but the cost is a
tiny bit higher. However, in view of
the fact that the resulting cake keeps
better and also that the flavor is im
proved, the difference in expense is
very much overbalanced by the ad
vantage: The usual cake recipes can
be followed, but remember that when
using honey less liquid is required.
The rules laid down by Farmers'
Bulletin No. 653 are: "As honey con
tains less acid than molasses, it re
quires leb soda. . The allowances
range from one-quarter to one-half
teaspoonful for a cup of hohey. In
substituting honey for sugar use cup
ful for-cupful, and for each cupful
of honey use one-fifth of a cupful
less of milk or other liquid for which
the recipe calls."
In cakes which are to be made with
out butter it always is advisable to use
honey, for they will keep fresh for
months and actually improve with old
age. Honey cakes are delicious when
spiced. The most suitable combina
tions are coriander, cardamon, nut
meg, ginger, cinnamon and cloves.
Butter Honey Cake.
Rub together one and a half cup
fuls of honev and one-half cupful but

eggs and beat tnorougniy. aoo nve

Nebraska's Own Berries -
Arriveon
Strawberries have arrived on the
Omaha market. Yes, strawberries!
But they are very few and far be
tween, rather curosities than com
modities. The remarkable part of it
is that they are raised in Nebraska.
They're called the "ever bearing," and
come from Ainsworth. Half a dollar
a box.
Imported raisins from fair Spain
One of the countries that Wilson
has not yet kept out of the war, but
which is out of it anyway, you know.
Big bunches' are these raisins, meant
for eating right from the bunch.
From far-off Smyrna come new figs
aivl dates of -extra fine quality.
And there are Japanese persim
mons, which, however, come from
California ,and not from Nippon.
Mellons are still with us. Honey
dew and cansawba are the kinds. Wa
ter and muskmellons have finally
made their- exits for the season.
New black walnuts with fine meats
Omelet Making.,
One of the most difficult dishes for
the average-cook to make just right
is a plain French omelet.
The commonest causes .for failure
are an overheated pan; cooking too
long before serving, and a cold serv
ing dish.
Omelets should be served directly
they are done. Have the serving dish
warmed and ready before cooking the
omelet.
For cooking the omelet select a pan
that is perfectly smooth. Scour the
pan with salt until it is glossy. Put
a tablespoon of butter into the pan
and let neat very slowly until butter
is melted. Do not allow butter to
brown.
Milk sometimes toughens when
mixed with egg and cooked- in but
ter. If you cook your omelet in pure
leaf lard it is safe to use milk; for
the omelet cooked in butter we rec
ommend warm water.
