V DECEMBER 5, 1920. 7 8 B THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: Cereals for Breakfast By LORETTO C. LYNCH. Cereals are grasses the seeds of which are used for food. Among the most important are wheat, In dian com, oatt-, rice, rye and barley, From tlicse are prepared various breakfast foods such as oatmeal, coriuneal, farina and the like. ' Of course, it is well nigh impossi ble to change t Ii c .food habits of fcrown-ttps, and if an adult who hat been unfortunate enough not to have been given a s't anting hot dish of cereal for breakfast when a child, refuses it for breakfast, every housc wite should make it a point to see that the children get it. It is no more expensive to serve the child a bowl of oat meal for breakfast than it is to give him half a dozen thick slices of bread. The trouble is that cereal takes time. to cook, while bread may be bought ready to eat. But the mother who has the.wclfare of her little ones at heart, will see to it that they man age to get a bowl of cereal, if not every morning, then perhaps three or four timet, a week. The old-time housewife had to sit over the cereal and stir it for hours and hours. Yet she was willing to do this so that her boys and girls ! might have it to keep them warm and put strength and energy into their little bodies. But the modern woman who must leave her home early in the morning to play bread winner, has a valuable aid in the fire i less cooker. The cereal may be cooked for five or 10 minutes over the flame and then put into the fire less to continue cooking without flame or need of watching, the long n i lit through. In preparing oatmeal, for one cup of oatmeal allow four cups of boil ing water and one level teaspoon of salt. Cook directly over the flame at first stirring to prevent burning. Then continue the cooking either in I the double boiler or in the fireless cooker. Fine cereals like farina should be mixed with cold water before being stirred into the boiling water. This will prevent lumping. Rice is the one cereal which may be. -prepared rather quickly and should be served frequently. Put to boil two quarts of w&ter, to which a level teaspoon of salt has been added. Pick over and wash one cup of rice. When the water boils drop ine rice siowiy so as noi 10 stop the boiling. If the grains settle to the bottom stir! gently with a silver fork. Boil rapidly uncovered fr 20 minutes or until the grains may be easily crushed between the fingers. Turn into a strainer and drain. Rinse with hot water to reir.ove excess starch. Try serving fruits with cereals. Ripe bananas are delicious when served cut up with mush. Serving the fruit right in with the cereal saves the washing of several extra dishes. Figs, dates alike, should be scalded with boiling water to remove dirt, then cut up and served right in the saucer with farina or other e real. It is much better to cultivate the taste of the children to depend on the natural sugar in fruits like dates, figs, raisins and prunes for sweeten- ing than to have them add quantities of cane sugar to the cereal. If the child must havn sugar with his cereal- lightly sprinkle it with a scant teaspoon of sugar. - Cereals should absorb all the moisture they are cooked in. If moist when nearly done, cook un covered for a while. Pr u i t s for Breakfast When rhe fruit begins to be scarce on the city fruit stands, often there is a general letting up on the fruitJ course at breakfast, ror with or anges at 10 and 15 cents a piece, savs the housewife, "I simply cannot afford it." But there are plently of other fruits within the range of even the poor woman's purse, and the Jhrifty housewife will look about and find the cheaper kinds. The dried fruits, dried ai they are today, are one of the real privileges of the modern home. Not. only should you be ac - quainted with dried peaches, pears, and prunes, but you should also know the dried plums, apricots, seeded cherries and apples. Dried fruits are more bother to prepare than fresh fruit, but it is cheaper, especially when fresh fruit Is out of season or has to be brought from a great distance. But, dried fruit is dirty. Even if it looks clean and comes in a clean, fancy package, nevertheless it will stand a thorough cleaning. A new toothbrush will be found convenient. Keep it especially for this purpose. Scrub each piece of the fruit with this brush and luke warm water. Several waters may be needed. The last rinsing water should be clear. Then put the fruit to soak in clean water. Cover the "vessel containing the soaking fruit to keep out dust. Put the fruit to stew in the water in which it has soaked. Many housewives do not take the precaution to give the fruit this, thorough cleaning. Some cannot be lieve it necessary. But, viewed under the microscope, the fruit is very dirty and you surely would not care to eat it yourself or give it to the family if you could see it under the microscope. It is a mistake to throw off the water in which the fruit has soaked, as this contains some of the mineral salts and much of the fruit juice and flavor. Stew the fruit very slowly to de velop the natural flavor, adding the sugarMoward the end of the cook ing. Less sugar is required if it is added at the end. Cooking causes sugar to lose some of its sweetness. Not enough housekeepers use stewed raisins. These should be v cleaned with the brush and soaked and stewed. They, of course, require no sugar, but are improved by the addition of a little lemon juice or rind during the cooking. The Great Critic. The Victorian poet who said that "good "Vritics are rarer than good tuthors" was right. To feel deeply ind yet to think profoundly, to know much and yet to write well it is no easy staircase that the great ritic has to climb. J. . Spingarn.

When a boy or girl graduates from high school or college congratulations are in order. When a girl is engaged or married she receives "best wish es," and the "congratulations" are tendered to the happy man. But, by and by, when in the course of time, the stork comes, bearing "hostage to fortune" to' the wedded pair, when a son or daughter is born, then the congratulations are extend ed to both. Sometimes a visiting card is sent with "congratulations" written in one corner, but this is rather .cold formality among friends.

Women's Ideas That Paid Big Dividends By FRANCES L. GARSIDE. Nancy Homan's Idea Was a "Peach" and She Refused to Let It Be Wasted. When Nancy Homans asked a friend for the privilege of rent ing a little cottage in her peach orchard, it was that she might take her paint brushes and easel there, and without interruptions, put some of the spring pinks and blues onto her canvas. It was granted, and all through one spring she sat in the orchart day after day and painted. The petals fell from the trees; the fruit ripened and Miss Homans', finding inspiration as the season advanced continued to paint. It was mid summer, she noticed that the fruit fell to the ground and was lost. No one cared for it, though in a large city a few miles away there was a crying need for it; the waste seemed criminal. "She was tired of paint ing. Her studio offered oppor tunities for preserving the fruit equal to those it had furnished in preserving its likeness . She asked permission of the owner of the place to have the peaches for her own. It was given her. She put a kitchen apron over her smock and soon there' was an odor as delicious as that which filled the orchard when the trees were in blossom. 1 She put tip preserves as long as the fruit lasted; she sold to her friends in the city. She succeeded. The next sVason found her again in the orchard, and, though she paired, in the spring, her real paying job began when the fruit began to ripe. Perhaps she puts itfto Uer jellies and pickles and preserves some of the sunshine she puts on Jier canvass. Who knows? But every one knows that Nancy Homans ha made a great success. When tire inspiration came to her she did not dismiss it idly, but accepted it as heaven-born. What do you do with yours? (Copyright, 1920, ThompeonlFeatura Service.) Eye Injuries. The commonest eye injury is the lodging of some sort of a speck be tween the eyeball and the lids, or on the surfa:e of the eyeball. Don't tub the eye? close it and the tears may wash the speck out or into view, so that it can be removed. If this dees not succeed, close the sye and blow the nose hard. If still unsuccessful, look at the lower lid, turning it down gently. Remove the speck with the corner of a clean h.indkercfiicf. It is much harder to sec the inner surface of the upper lid. . To do this, seat your patient in a chair with the head bent backward, stand behind him and place the small end of a-pen handle about-one half an inch above the edge of the 11 IT 1 ( I . uu nave mm iook down ana turn tl.e lid back over this. Remove the speck as before. But if jmu can't ddall this with the greatest gentleness, don t do it at all, but soak some soft fine cloth in c-.ol water and bandage this in plac on both eyes. Ihcn send tor a doc tor. De the same when the eye ban is injured. When a speck has been removed from the eye the latter will be toothed -by a couple of drops of cas .or oil. If acid has entered the eve neutralize with baking soda and water. 7 f7 1 f . 1 'i' ' m 1 1 1 " u TT-i" ' 1 ' ' '"" , , . . I, ' ' " 1 , 1 .1. . 1 ti , 1 ...... I.. ,...1. . V .
