BEST DitT FOR CHILD ADVICE OF SPECIALISTS OF BU REAU AT WASHINGTON. preparations of Meat, Fish, Eggs, and Meat Substitutes Recommended ? Almost Innumerable Variety of Stews ls Possible. The following directions for the use of meat, fish, eggs, and meat substi tutes in the diet of a child three to " six years of age are taken from Farm ers' Bulletin No. 717, "Food for Young Children," prepared by specialists of the office of home economics, United States department of agriculture. Broiling and roasting are the best methods of preparing tender meat. Tough meat should he stewed or pre pared in a fireless cooker, or first chopped and then broiled. It is very Important to teach the very young ?mild to chew meat properly. Fried meats, particularly those which are pan fried or cooked in a email amount of fat, should not be given to young children. One reason lor this is that they are likely to be overcooked and tough, at least on the outside, and so are likely not to be properly chewed and to be swallowed In large pieces. Another reason is that the fat used in frying and also that which tries out of the meat is likely to be scorched and changed in composition. When this is the case, it Is almost certain to be harmful. Some recipes for cooking meat for Children follow: Many cuts of meat too tough to bo broiled whole may be prepared very satisfactorily by being chopped, salt j?d and broiled. Allow about one-half teaspoonful of salt to a pound of meat. Por very little children the meat .should be scraped instead of being chopped, for in this way the connec tive tissue is taken out. An egg or a little milk may also be added. The .most important point is careful han dling, for if the meat is pressed to gether it becomes tough and hard. If a wine broiler is used, the cakes Should not be squeezed between the two sides. To avoid this, lay them pa top of the broiler and turn them with a knife and fork. Stews made out of meat and veget ables offer a very great variety of .fiishes good in themselves and good Ideal Dinner for Child-Lamb Chop, Baked Potato, Spinach (Cut Fine), Rice and Milk, Bread and Butter. also because they encourage the eat ing of bread. The meat used should, of course, be in good condition but need not be from a tender cut. The .lower-priced cuts may be used with good results, provided they are made .tender by long, slow cooking. Any .Tegetable may be added, including tho tougher parts of lettuce, and the leaves of celery. Rice, barley, maca roni, or even, c rusts cf stale bread may be used in the stew tc give variety. A stew containing a little meat, with one cr more vegetables, and a cereal comes near to supplying all the need ed foods, other than milk. Cut the meat into small pieces, cover with boiling water, boil for five minutes, and then cook at a lower temperature until the meat is tender. This will require about three hours on the stove or five hours in the fire less cooker. Add carrots, turnips, onions, pepper and salt during the last hour of cooking, and the potatoes 20 minutes before serving. Thicken with the fi.our diluted with cold water. If the dish is made in the fireless cooker, the mixture must be reheated when the vegetables are put in. There is much to be said in favor of j keeping a soup pot on the stove all the time, provided great care is taken not to allow the contents to grow stale. Into this pot can go clean por tions of uncooked food and also clean foods left frcm the table, such as meat, milk, mashed potatoes or other vegetables, crusts, cold cereal mushes, ?nd even fruits. Soups made from jBuch materials may not have great nutritive value, but. like those made out of materials bought for the pur pose, they encourage the use of a large amount of bread, particularly if .-carefully seasoned. Chicken or turkey can be used for variety in children's diets. It is palat able stewed and served with rice. If ;roast chicken is used, select portions -which are tender. It is well not to give a young child either highly sea .soned stuffing (dressing) or rich The use of cured, fish, fresh fish and oysters in stews has been spoken of shove. Boiled or stewed fish is also good for variety. Eggs are especially useful food for young children. The chief point to remember in preparing them for chil dren is that they must not be over cooked or they are likely to cause in digestion, as experience has shown. Everyone knows how the heat of cook inf" hardens the egg, and it is easy to tmOorstand why the digestive juices mlfht have difficulty in penetrating ipeb hard substance as the white, of a hard-boiled egg. Overcooked yolks ?Iso thought to be hard to digest. ^However, when eggs are cooked in the ehelL'the heat reaches the white he fore it does the yolk, and so there le more danger of the white being over cooked than of the yolk. The best ways of serving eggs for children are poached, soft-boiled, or coddled, though they may be scrambled for a change if one is careful not to scorch the fat used or to overcook the egg. One of the most satisfactory ways of cooking eggs is by coddling and is done as follows: Allow a cupful of water to each egg, bring the water to the boiling point, remove it from the fire, put in the eggs, cover tho dish closely, and leave'the eggs in the wa ter for about seven minutes. Milk and eggs, as stated above, are common meat substitutes. Among vegetable foods, dried beans, peas, lentils, and cowpeas, which are often classed together and called legumes, are the best substitutes for meat in the diet, of older people, chiefly be cause they have large amounts of nitrogen needed for muscle building. In this respect they have some advan tage, though not a great one, over cereals. Beans and the other legumes are not to be recommended for young children except when milk, meat, eggs, fish, and poultry are not to be ob tained. When used they should be cooked until*they are reduced to a mush. Since the skins are likely to be tough, it is well to put the cooked legumes through a sieve. PERFECTION IN THE KITCHEN j One Secret of Successful Cooking is Having Proper Materials With Which to Work. Most housekeepers have -wondered at times why there is "a touch" about the best hotel cooking that amateurs can seldom get. It is not because the materials are superior or the recipes exclusive; home cooking can be better than hotel cooking so far as that is concerned. It is partly due to the very simple factor of heat and cold. In the hotel kitchen everything is hot that should be hot. and everything that should be cold is Just off the ice. The home kitchen may not be provid ed with huge refrigerators, warming tanks, and plate racks heated by steam, but that is no reason for not being up to date. Enamel double boil- I ers, an enameled bain-marie, even an enameled saucepan or frying-pan or balding dish set in tho top of a ket tle of boiling water, will keep any sort of dish hot without its being dried or scorched. And they are far easier to keep clean than tue elaborate copper and nickel fittings of the hotel. The other thing in which the chef is apt to be superior Is in the use of complex flavors in soups and sauces, and here again his creations can be ri valed with enameled soup-kettles and double boilers. The one thing that even some good cooks need tc learn is that the longer and slower the procesa ! of blending flavors the more perfect ?s I the blend. HODGE-PODGE" ECONOMICAL Can Be Fashioned From Any Scraps the Larder Affords and Makes a Most Satisfactory Meal. Having to live as cheaply as possi ble cn account of the war, we have invented a "hodge-podge." It is made of any scraps the larder affords. Veg etable hodge-podge is one of the best, and gives the idea for all. Take a I baking dish, put in a layer of finely- j cut-up tread (crusts of cold toast is . all right), next a layer of cold boiled j macaroni with tomato sauce (rice , will do as well) then ctld boiled cab bage, cauliflower or parsnins, or, in fact any cold vegetable, and a layer of cold potatoes; salt and pepper. Add | a few spoonfuls of gravy, if on hand. ; Repeat layer until dish is full; grate dry cheese generously on tcp. If not quite moist, add a little water. Put brewn bread crumbs cn tcp and heat thoroughly in the oven. It is surpris ingly gcod, and makes a most satis factory meal.-Woman's Home Com panion. Boiled Pork and Chill Sauce. Prepare the chili sauce before cook ing the meat and in a goodly quan tity, as it will keep for a considerable time; or use chili sauce already pre pared and bottled. The cultlets, taken i from the leg of fresh pork, should be 1 about half an inch in thickness. Place ! them between the bars of a double gridiron over a moderate fire, cook for about 20 minutes; when done place them on a hot dish, sprinkle ever a little salt and pepper, put a little but- : ter over them and serve with the j chili sauce in a boat. Buckwheat Cakes. To one and a half pints of pure buckwheat flour add half cupful of white flour and cornmeal, three heap- i ing teaspoonfuls of baking powder, j one teaspoonful of salt, one table spoonful of brown sugar or molasses. Sift all the dry ingredients together and add a pint of milk or water, or sufficient to form a smooth batter that will pcur easily (not too thin) from a pitcher. Oysters in Sauerkraut. Place in a baking dish alternately layers of cooked sauerkraut and oy sters, starting and finishing with the sauerkraut. On top place a few strips of fat bacon. Place in a hot oven for about half an hour, or until heated through, and serve at once. Changing Pillow Cases. In putting on fresh pillow cases, start the pillow into the case, then, holding it to you press against the wall, and the pillow will slip in easily, filling the corners.
