Food Quantity Instead of Nutrition, Purchased by Families on Relief Worker for Governor’s Commission Submits Two Lists Which Will Provide Elements Essential to Health. BY HELEN LINDSAY 'ITIT'HILE many Indianapolis hostesses and housewives scan their cook- * books and the pages of current magazines for new and appetizing menus to tempt their families and guests, there is a group of women who face quite a different problem in food buying. They are the housewives in families receiving help from the Governor's commission on unemployment relief, and their problem deals not with the attractive garnishing of salads and the most delectable new frozen dessert*, but with feeding their families on the amount of

money alloted to them with the most nourishing food. Many clever women, who pnde themselves not only on the attractiveness of their ideals, but on their thrifty marketing, would be appalled at the prospect of providing food for a family of four on a budget of *5.80 a week. Yet there are women in Indiana, many of them in Indianapolis, who are doing that, and doing a very good job of it. Assisting leaders In this work is Mrs. Areva V. Hadley, commission nutrition .worker, who is attempting to assist relief families in selecting the foods which will provide nourishment as well as quantity. Mrs. Hadley’s investigations have shown that the average family head receiving the allottment of $5.80 for a week, to feed a family of four, has worked out a food list which Is based primarily on quantity. In-

eluded in the average grocery lust of relief workers are the following Items: Throe fourteen-and-one-half-ounce cans of evaporated milk, eight pounds of potatoes, ten pounds of navy beans, one can of tomatoes, no green vegetables, and only three pounds of dried fruit. Included in the week's purchases the buyer usually has eight pound-and-a-half loaves of bread, live pounds of cereal, ten pounds of sugar, one pint of syrup, no cheese, two dozen eßgs. four and one-quarter pounds of lean meat, no butter or marßanne. and five and a quarter pounds of lard. This week's supply of provisions, Mrs. Hadley says, is all wrong. Her suggestion for a typical family diet would be six fourteen-and-one-fourth-ounce cans of evaporated milk, fourteen quarters of whole milk, twenty pounds of potatoes, three pounds of dried beans, four pounds of cabbage, six pounds of tomatoes, two pounds of wrrots, two pounds of prunes, ten one-and-one-half-pound loaves of bread, six pounds of corn meal, two forty-two-ounce boxes of rolled oats, two pounds of margarine, one pound of Jowl bacon, four pounds of sugar, two pints of syrup, one pound of cheese, one and one-half dozen eggs and three pounds of boiling beef. a a a a a a Food for Two Weeks Listed Even this diet. Mrs. Hadley says, is not ideal. She gives as the ideal diet for a family of four on relief, with a little more than a weekly $5.80 to spend, the following grocery list for a period of two weeks: Fourteen quarts of whole milk, seven fourteen-and-one-half-ounce cans of evaporated milk, eleven pounds of potatoes, three pounds of either navy beans, peas or peanut butter, eight No. 2 cans or eight pounds of fresh tomatoes, two pounds of dried fruit, twelve pounds of green vegetables, ten one-and-one-half-pound loaves of bread, ten pounds of assorted cereals, including oatmeal, wheat, rice, cornmeal, flour (twentyeight pounds of cereal and flour may be substituted for the bread and cereal) two pounds of margarine, three pounds of lard, oils, salt pork cr bacon, four pounds of sugar, one pint of syrup, one pound of cheese, three dozen eggs, seven pounds of lean meat or fish, six to eight ounces of cod liver oil for each child under two years, baking powder and seasonings as needed, and not more than 50 cent* worth of tea or coffee. The list may not seem very promising for inviting meals, but Mrs. Hadley believes that a clever cook not only can keep her family well fed on menus from this list of groceries, but can provide tempting and attractive, through inexpensive meals, as well. a a a a a a Food Dealers Aid Budget Makers TAKING into consideration the fact that most families are living on budgets now, many of the groceries in Indianapolis arrange weekend specials in staple groceries. The Atlantic and Pacific groceries provide complimentary menu sheets each week to_ customers desiring them. Included in these are suggested menus, with accompanying receipts, for families with varying budgets. Menus are suggested for families spending from $lB to $8 each week on groceries, for four persons, and once a month a supplementary list of suggestions is published for families with even more limited grocery budgets. a a a a a a Veal and Rice Form Cold Dish A SUGGESTED dish which has been submitted to this column, and which can be served for the family dinner, for an afternoon bridge partv. or for an evening buffet supper, is chartreuse of rice and veal, to be served cold. It is said to be inexpensive. The recipe is as follows: * ram (M rice. 1 teaspoon salt. tH pound* veal knuckle. 1 H teaspoon white pepper. 1 earrol. 1 2 teaspoon* gelatine. U onion. I * ■••Ik eelerr. Wash rice thoroughly. Boil, drain, dry and chill. Cut meat Into email pieces and cook slowly in enough water to cover. Add the seasoning and carrot sliced. Long cooking should result in a jellied mass when poured into a mold and chilled, but time may be saved by adding, when the veal is done, tho two teaspoons of gelatin, moistened in a little cold water. Stir until gelatin dissolves. Mold in a quart bowl or fancy mold lined with the cooked rice. Chill, turn out on a platter when firm, surround with lettuce leaves. Garnish with parsley. Six servings.
