Directions

1

syrup is fine in sweetening- pie filling and cake. It can also be used in cus- tards and many other ways.

2

Then for the fats. Why should we use lard or suet or butter in shorten- ing and frying when we have such splendid articles made from vegeta- bles and nuts? Why not use Mazola oil, Wesson oil, olive oil, Cottolene and Crisco and Kaola? They are more nourishing, go much farther and give the food a flavor that lard, butter and suet never do.

3

I am submitting some lunch menus and recipes that I have worked out with the idea of conserving sugar and fats. I hope they meet with your ap- proval.

4

Ripe olives can be bought for 10 cents a small can, and are much bet-, ter than the green olives.

5

I use no white flour any more. I do all my own baking and use only whole wheat flour. Why use white flour when whole wheat is much bet- ter and our allies need flour so badly?

6

I have a conservation card in my front window and am trying my best to live up to my pledge. Let Port- land housewives not be selfish, but be willing to share with those less fortunate, and help the cause of free- dom and justice to all our fellowmen. — Mrs. Grace A. Howard, 750 Kelly street.

MENUS BY MRS. HOWARD. School Lunch for One Child — No. 1.

8

One peanut butter and olive sand- wich.

9

One egg sandwich.

10

Two molasses drop cakes.

11

One apple or banana, a small bottle of milk.

12

Peanut Butter Sandwich.

13

Cut two thin slices of whole wheat bread and spread with a mixture of peanut butter and ripe olives chopped fine. Press firmly together.

14

Egg Sandwich.

15

Mince fine two hard-boiled eggs; moisten with a few drops of Mazola or other oil; season well with salt and pepper, and spread between thin slices of bread.

16

One slice of white and one of whole wheat bread, with egg filling, makes a very pretty sandwich.

27

Sift flour, salt and ginger together into a mixing bowl, make a hole in the flour and pour in the molasses and oil, then the boiling water in which the soda has been dissolved. Mix well to a stiff batter, using more flour or water if needed. Drop by small spoonfuls onto an oiled baking pan or sheet, and bake 15 minutes in a mod- erate oven. Makes about 18 cakes, or about 9c per dozen.

28

As molasses cakes spread, they should not be put into the pan close enough to touch each other. If de- sired, the cakes may be baked in muf- fin pans or by adding more flour and making stiff enough to handle, may be made into cookies. They are very cheap, and easily made, and children love them. — Mrs. Grace Howard.
