Meals for the
Workers
Bf LORETTA C. LYNCH.
With the advent of the cooler days,
the housewife should plan more sub
stantial meals. For the body re
quires somewhat :icher foods in the
cooler weather if it is to be at its
best It must fee! fit for the day's
.tasks.
The principal meal of the day is
frequently of concern, not so much
because the housewife does not know
what is good tc eat, but because it
is sometimes difficult to provide suit
able combinations and sufficient va
riety on her food allowance money.
Thus, she gets into a rut and her
home cooking frequently better
than the commercial restaurant fails
to be appreciated.
I shall always believe that the hit-and-miss
meal is always most ex
pensive in the end. The planned meal
is ever more satisfactory, l'lan your
dinners for 10 days. This wilt pre
vent the same menu being served on
successive Mondays or Tuesdays,
when the plan is repeated..
Suppose we plan dinners for those
cooler days. Let's start the plan on
Monday! . Thus the first card might
be, headed "First Day In searching
about the country for dishes particu
larly liked by hard-working men, I
find this veal stew a favorite when
prepared as follows:
Wipe the bottom of the inside of
v the cook pot with a clove of garlic
and then remove the garlic. Put in
about two pounds of veal with some
bone cut up for slew. Add a couple
of medium-sized onions, sliced. Cov
er with boiling water. Bring quickly
to the boiling poiitf and boil five
"minutes. Then reduce the heat and
simmer for two hours. It may be
necessary to add more water. A
"'cupful of diced carrots and four
medium-sized potatoes, pared and
v-quartered, may be added half an hour
before the end of the cooking,
-j- Before serving, remove bones and
' any bits of fat. If gravy is too
( thin, thicken with a little flour
"stirred in cold water. Sprinkle with
finely chopped parsley just before
serving. .
This, with some apple sauce or
fbaked apple and plain cake.j or
cookies and a drink, makes a palat
able, nourishing, satisfying meal.
Ai It may be well to have something
a bit crispier the next day. Plan
a cream of tomato soup, fried fresh
'.fish with creamed potatoes, green
peas and cold slaw. Rice pudding
with raisins would be a suitable
dessert.
Corned beef and cabbage with po
tatoes and turnips, if a choice cut
of beef is selected and freshened
,,and then cooked very, very slowly,
pis always a welcome dish for hard
workers. Freshening salt meat or
fish simply consists in covering with
cold water, which is slowly brought
to the boiling point and then thrown
away. The second water should We
boiling. Simmer corned beef do
nor boil it. Allow about half an
hour or longer for each pound. To
ward the end add the cabbage, po
tatoes and turnip cut tip.
Qf- course, each housewife will
, have to study her local market and
the preferences of her family. But
many a woman who shops carefully
to save money on the main part of
the meal, ' because she is working
without plan, will often hastily f nd
out and buy an expensive, ready-to-eat
dessert because she has forgot
ten to prepare-one.
So, plan. Alter the plan from time
to time if necessary, but have a plan
of meals. Working at the food
problem is a very worthy, honorable
' work deserving of our best thought.
Human existence depends on food.
;And you will find the task of pro
viding meals a simpler, more pleas
ant one if you plan.
Wash Your Butter
Always wash the butter you use
'in making cakes, desserts or sauces.
It is not much trouble and gives the
f inished product a much finer tex
ture. To wash butter, take the quan
tity you intend using, put it in a
Small bowl with a little water and
,:work it with a fork until the but
ter is creamy. Pour off the water
and then work it a little more until
all the water is forced out of it by
your fork. When no more drops of
-water appear it is ready for use.
Quiet Colors
For woman who has a limited
income it is wiser to choose quiet
colors for het costumes. They look
and wear better 'than the gayer
shades. Also' the wearer soon tires
of the latter. A suit can be lightened
tip with a bright colored hat or the
1 splashy little sashes for Eton suits.

Sleeping Porch
Value Found
In Health
The real test of the value of a
sleeping porch Is to be found in a
comparison of your health when you
sleep thereon and when you sleep
in the old fashioned type of sleep
ing apartment. That is, if you find
that when you sleep on a sleeping
porch you have colds with less fre
quency than when sleeping indoors,
men you may reasonably assume
that the porch is beneficial. But if
your colds continue, if you dread
bedtime because it means going out
on a cold and damp porch, then you
may reasonably assume that there is
something the matter with your
sleeping porch or that you are one
of those persons who are better off
sleeping indoors.
Something that the sleeping porch
enthusiast sometimes forgets is that
the sleeping porch may not be as
well ventilated as an indoor room.
Thus a sleeping porch heavily drap
ed with vines without and hung with
curtains within may really be rather
close.

sons sleep in far better ventilated
quarters than the rooms in which
they spend their waking hours. So
in many cases it would be far better
to make an effort to better the ven
tilation of your office or workroom
than to spend the effort in turning
your bedroom into a sleeping porch.
Most Americans sleep in rooms with
tluir windows open, and if you sleep
in a separate room, or a room with
one other, there is little chance of
the air becoming really vitiated. As
much cannot be said of the average
schoolroom or office or living room.
Remember that when you sleep in
a cold sleeping porch you are very
apt to catch cold if you persist in
having a high indoor temperature.
Marble Tops
The girl who lives in a boarding
house and has an old marbie tapped
table or dresser in her room can
use it, instead of her mirror for dry

be well ironed.

save time and work if a round
whiskbroom is used.
