Herb Cookery Can Put to Shame "Dash of Salt and Pepper’ School
? 3
YOU CAN STOP WORRYING about a way to make your spring
and summer meals as interesting
as the richer winter menus. The
answer is a private course in the use of herbs for seasoning. Herb cookery is a practice that has nearly atrophied in America since the Colonial period, when our great-grandmothers were still in
the habit of using the old English herbs.
But today modern home-
makers are searching the old cook-books for recipes that put to shame the “dash of salt and pepper” school of seasoning and demand the
subtle flavor of herbs.
Spring is a particularly good time to revive the tradition in your family, since herb flavors are light and delicate enough to arouse an appetite on the hottest and laziest of days. Here is a list of the common herbs, which come in convenient jars now instead of the herb bed your Colonial forebear had to tend, and their uses. Sage, the most common of the herbs, can be found on nearly any grocery shelf. It’s the old standby for turkey stuffing that survived.the 19th century when most of the other herbs were being forgotten. Sage , is also good with salt fish, with cream and cottage cheese, in stews and in veal dishes. It adds new flavor to stewed tomatoes, string beans, limas and eggplant. \
An excellent seasoning with onions, string beans, tomatoes, fish, mixed and green salads, the herb known as basil also is used in poultry stuffings. The common mint leaf, ground and seasoned, is another packaged with the more exotic cpes. In addition to its familiar uses in fruit cups and with lamb and fish, it’s also good with curry sauce, with peas and carrots and in stews, »
Marjoram Nice Flavoring
Once used in scented waters, marjoram is now one of the most delicate seasonings and goes with meat and cheese. Egg ramekin dishes whose recipes call for “Fines Herbes” refer to finely-chopped herbs added directly to the food in cooking so that they will be scattered throughout the finished dish—which may be roast and chopped meat, omelettes, sauces, aspics and: salads. Marjoram is the most usual ingredient in “Fines Herbes.” It is also tied together with thyme, basil and savoury in a small cheese-cloth bag and cooked in soup, stews and sauces. This combination is known as “Bouquet Garni.” Savoury is a favorite for green and lima beans, peas, other lentils including rice, and with veal, pork

and stuffed bass. If you use it in tomato juice—it goes well with tomato salads and sauces too—be sure to strain the cocktail before serving. Aromatic thyme adds an unusual flavor to meats, especially roast beef, and in soups, particularly onion soup, clam chowder and broth. Try it in Creole dishes with tomato sauces, in “Bouquet Garni” for fricasseed chicken, in bouillabaisse, with broiled halibut and salmon or in stuffed eggs and sauce for egg timbales. It’s also good with such vegetables as rice, peas, carrots, onions and pickled beets. » »
Herbs in Local Stores You'll find a complete assortment of herbs at Mayer's in the store's New England Pantry. Jars of all
the varieties—except the common |
and inexpensive sage—are packed by Kathleen Norris in New York. Mrs. Norris, not the author, isthe
wife of Crawford Norris, who imports and sells spices and exotic salts. Each one-ounce jar sells for 35 cents, or three for a dollar, and contains enough of the herb to last for months, since a small pinch of this seasoning flavors a whole dish. Among the special assortments is a rack of eight 1-ounce jars, representing all the kinds of herbs, for $195. For $3.75, Mayer's will paint a rack to match your kitchen and fill it with six of the jars, or place any six of your choosing in a handmade wicker basket. Ayres’ has a set of rosemary, savoury, bay leaves, marjoram, basil and thyme in gayly-flowered pottery jars, all set in a wooden spoon box, among them Early American Savories. It's $3.75. There is also a quaint herb and spice cupboard, with nine varieties of seasoning, for two dollars. Start your home use of herbs with a modest pinch of sage in your next stew. And go on to more intricate combinations as you experiment
with your own recipes or find some of the old-fashioned “receipts.”

Your Health
By Jane Stafford
IF SULFANILAMIDE or one of the newer sulfa drugs is prescribed for you or some member of your family for whose care you are responsible, be sure to note carefully and follow explicitly the directions the doctor gives about taking the drug. You should be careful to follow the doctor's orders about other kinds of threatment, too, but here are some of the special reasons for following directions on sulfa drugs, as recently explained by Prof. Louis Gershenfeld, of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science. You are told, for example, to follow a strict tithe schedule for taking the drug when taking it oy mouth. This is because the time it takes for a given dose to be absorbed, distributed through the body and excreted are known, Dr. Gershenfeld, explains, and in order to have at all times the proper concentration of the drug in the blood, the doses must be taken punctually. Otherwise, the patient may have too little of the drug in his blood to be effective, or too much of it for safety.
If sulfanilamide is given, the

the price.
doctor will tell the patient not to take more than a certain amount of water and other fluids per day. Otherwise the drug will be excreted too rapidly. 2 EJ 2 WITH CERTAIN other sulfa drugs, on the other hand, patients must take enough fluid so that the fluid qutput is not less than one quart per day, to avoid danger of kidney stones forming. The patient may not know which drug he is getting, but the doctor does and will give directions accordingly, and you can see that it is important for the patient to follow these, Persons taking these drugs are generally advised not to take saline cathartics, especially epsom salts. Due to a possible reduction of mental alertness, people taking these drugs are advised not to drive a motor vehicle or pilot a plane. Those who have had a rash or drug-fever or other reaction from a sulfa drug should remember to tell the doctor about it the next time one of these is prescribed because such persons may have a second, earlier and more severe reaction with a second course of sulfa drug treatment.

Beauty
By Alicia Hart
IT'S SOUND PROCEDURE for the woman with an unlimited
clothes budget to build her ward-!
robe around simple dresses and classic suits and coats. For the woman whose budget is extremely limited, it’s the ONLY sound procedure. Then she'll never cry: “I haven't got a thing to wear!” Unless you can have several suits, it's a mistake to choose a highly styled little model of which you— not to mention your friends—will tire easily. If you can have only one coat, it had better be a coat that will go over every dress in your wardrobe. Having only two pairs of day shoes presents no problem at all if both are plain, flattering pumps in black, brown or navy blue. However, having only two pairs of day shoes can present a real prohlem if one is rocker-soled and red, the other good with suits but not with dresses or vice versa.

OWNING only one dinner dress may make you unhappy after the fifth wearing if the dress is an exotic print. But owning only one dinner dress is no cause at all for
self-pity if the dress is a beautie fully cut black, gray or white sheath with which any number of different . types of jackets may be worn. . - All of which is not to say that it's a good idea to wear clothes"
which won't be noticed. The secret’ of chic lines lies in choosing simple, well-cut dresses and suits and then: in knowing how to doll them up with hats and accessories so that the finished ensembles will be distinguished. It’s much smarter to wear a: simple shirtwaist dress with a crisp. white pique collar, plain white gloves and an attention-getting, whimsical hat, than to wear a fussy: dress, frilly gloves and a dull bon=net. It’s always more chic to wear a tailored suit and a crazy hat than a tailored hat and a crazy suit.
