Minimum Adequate Diet

If your income is between $1500 and $4000 you may feed your fam-

ily on a minimum cost adequate diet.

a moderate-priced diet.

If over $2500 you should have

If you are using a minimum cost diet do plan to give the cheapest | combination of foods that will meet all the nutrional needs over an in-!

definite period. To fulfill this requirement, the menus must contain a large quantity of cereal products and milk as a basis. Just enough vegetables, fruits and eggs and lean meats are used to furnish vitamins, minerals and proteins, not adequately supplied by bread and milk and enough fats and sweets are added to round out the calories. ; The cost of this suggested diet by the U., S. Bureau of Home Economics is about $9.15 a week for a family of four, $4.85 week for two and $15.50 a week for a family of seven,

The Question Box

Q—How can the curl be restored to feathers that have been exposed to damp weather? A—They may be improved by holding over a fire and shaking occasionally until the matted fibers are loosened, and the curl will be restored. If the curl has been entirely taken out by wetting or soaking, it will be necessary to curl the fronds with the blunt edge of a knife or a piece of ivory. The feather should be entirely dry; do not take more than two or three fronds at a time. Draw them between the thumb. and the blunt edge of a silver knife or an ivory paper cutter, beginning at the point of the feather and working along the stem on both sides. After a lit-

On this cradle lay two logs with space between, and across them: arrange more kindling, and place one or two logs of fair size over all.s To start the fire put paper under the Fireplace wood should be seasoned at least one year; green wood is hard to ignite and smokes excessively, but a green leg may be used as a backlog.

Fix Salmon This New Way

A BIG bowl of salmon salad— that’s what a reader wants for a gala party. So let’s turn to Madame Prunier’s new English translation of her “Fish Cookery Book.” Cook fresh or quick frozen sdlmon in court-bouillon, she advises. For each 12 guests buy about 4 pounds salmon. That's being

generous. Use fresh, or quick frozen

or very finest grade of canned salmon.

COURT-BOUILLON FOR SALMON AND TROUT

Seven quarts water, 4 ounces coarse salt, not quite 2 pint vinegar, 5 ounces carrot, 5 ounces onion cut in round slices, 2 ounce parsley stalks, 12 bay leaf, 1 sprig thyme, % ounce coarsely ground peppercorns. Place ingredients in large kettle. Bring to boil then boil for threequarters hour. Strain and cool Cock salmon gently in this courtbouillon, placing fish in ; cold Boution and slowly bring to gentle oil.

MAYONNAISE DE SAUMON

(For 12 servings use 4 pounds) Garnish the bottom of a salad bowl with julienne strips of lettuce seasoned with salt and a few drops of vinegar. Arrange on this cold flaked salmon, with every vestige of skin and bones removed, in the proportion of between three and four ounces for each person. Cover the whole with a highly seasoned mayonnaise sauce. Decorate with anchovy fillets, stoned

olives and capers, and set in the!

middle, a small lettuce heart.

Surround the dish with hard-| lettuce On serving, a further border can be arranged of!

Boiled Custards \

To prevent boiled custard lumping, cook slowly in ‘a double boiler over a low fire. Scalding the milk before combining with other ingredients helps to avoid curdling. To keep a tough crust from forming over the top, cover almest immediately after removing from the fire.
