Victory Cooking Schools’ Teach

By LOUISE FLETCHER

THE “THREE R’S” now are four. To the trio of “readin’ and ritin’ and ’rithmetic,” the home economics teachers of the city’s public schools have added “rationing.” Along about the time that housewives began to see points— ration points — dancing before their eyes, the home “‘ec’™ teachers decided to look about for a way to lend a hand with the problems that faced the mothers of their pupils. There are about 80 home economics instructors in the grade and high schools of the city and they began meeting on Tuesday evenings, after school hours, at Manual Training high school to work out new ways of preparing food in wartime. EJ » = THEIR “LABORATORY” work fell into six classifications. Their first effort was to develop and adapt recipes for extending meat. They came up with five types of extenders: 1. cereals and cereal products such as oatmeal, cornmeal, grits and hominy, rice, noodles, macaroni, spaghetti and prepared cereals; 2. vegetables; 3. white sauce and gravies; 4. breadstuffs, such as biscuit mixtures, crumbs, stuffings and toast, and 5. combinations, such as vegetables and gelatin, white sauce and toast, and cereals and vegetables. The second classification they tackled was variety meats which, because of their low-point values, were expected to find an increasingly important place in the family diet. A third group of foods they studied was vegetables. They wanted to be able to tell women how to use all the succulent varieties which this year’s victory gardens were expected to produce. Other classifications they considered were the use of dehydrated foods such as milk, eggs and soup

mixes; wartime salads and wartime desserts.

# ” 2

AND THEY DEVELOPED and adapted recipes for each of the six groups. With their “victory cooking school” program arranged, the teachers, working under Miss Louise Braxton, assistant director in charge of home economics education, announced that they were willing to present demonstration lessons wherever a group of woms=en in a community+ requested them. The classes were to be held in the home economics departments of the schools and the teachers in those schools were to contribute their time and services. The first demonstration-lesson was held at school 47 where Mrs. Eva Bell is the home economics teacher. Among others have been those conducted at school 33 where Miss Bernice Smith is the teacher; at school 54, where Miss Marie Casey is the home ec teacher, and at school 26 with Miss Marion Anderson as the teacher.

SAMPLES OF THE recipes used in the lessons explain the popularity of the ‘victory cooking school.” Here are a few: MEAT BISCUIT ROLL (serves six) % pound fresh hamburger or beef, ground twice 1 tablespoon grated onion 4 teaspoon salt 2 cup hot water teaspoon chopped parsley

Turn hamburger into frying pan in which the fat has been melted; add onions and stir over moderate heat until meat is slightly browned. Add salt and water. Simmer until mixture has a thick gravy-like consistency. Remove from heat, add parsley and cool. Meanwhile make a biscuit dough with 1% cups enriched flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 3% teaspoon salt, 4 tablespoons fat and 3s cup milk.

PRICE ADMINISTRATOR Pren-

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl of 13 and I always wanted to write to you. It seems that everywhere I go my mother has an eye

on me. I do not know what I have done to her, but she doesn’t like me very well. She is my own mother at that, but she doesn’t seem like it. There is just something about her which I do not like and I do not know what it is. If I have ever done anything to her I surely would like to know what it is. She is always trying to separate me and my girl friend and tries to make me run around with some other girl whom I do not like. If you can give me any advice I would be more than glad to accept it.

Answer—What about your father? You haven't mentioned him. I ask about him because so often a girl's father has a lot to do with her attitude toward her mother and vice versa. If you have no father, that, too, is an important factor, for usually it throws an extra load of responsibility on the mother which she isn’t able to carry gracefully. She may

Six Causes of Trench Mouth Reported

By JANE STAFFORD

Science Service Writer

sociated with war for many centuries, even though it got its present popular name during world war I when many cases appeared among the troops engaged in trench warfare. Dentists call the disease Vincent’s infection, although it probably existed many centuries before Vincent discovered one of the germs that play a part in causing the condition. 2 = 2 FOUR DIFFERENT germs working together are now believed to be responsible for the germ or bacterial phase of the disease, a report from the American Dental association states. Besides these four germs, there are at least six other

causes of the disease, or six conditions which predispose to it. These are: 1. Vitamin deficiencies. 2. Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs. 3. Allergies. 4. Dietary and drink indiscretions. 5. Certain feverish and debilitating diseases. 6. Effects of certain drugs.

CONDITIONS IN the mouth, such as the irritants arising from lack of proper cleansing and care of the teeth and from defects of the teeth, may also predispose to an attack of trench mouth. Many dentists and doctors believe that tobacco smoking also plays a role. This may be, more important in some persons than others. On this point the American Dental association report states: “The chemical irritation of the mouth tissues, with its effects on circulation, the lowered resistance and the displacement of the normal oxygen-containing air by smoke in the mouth all favor the overgrowth of the causative bacteria and enhance their ability to invade the tissues. “Clinical confirmation of this relationship can be held in the increased efficiency of treatment when abstinence from smoking is required and the failure of response to treatment when the habit is continued.”

ON THE SUBJECT of variety meats, the teachers point out that pork liver is the best buy in liver since it has three times as much iron as beef liver and four and one-half times as much as calf liver. Other variety meats for which they developed recipes are Kidneys, brains, sweetbreads, hearts, oxtails, tongue and tripe.
