If a variety of left-over food is on hand which cannot be combined into one dish, it is better to serve different food to each member rather than to divide each article for all; the latter custom may be more polite, but it is not wise to mix a great variety of foods at one meal. Left-over skim-milk is best utilized for cheese, pancakes, whey gruel, whey or milk sauce, or be boiled and served with stale rye or corn bread. Vegetables prepared with milk do not make a good combination. Soft puddings prepared with skim-milk, sugar and eggs, are not very wholesome unless the necessary amount of fat is added in the form of butter or suet. Skim-milk and fruit is not a good combination. Left-over potatoes can be utilized in many different ways: for fish-cakes, pancakes, hash, potato-dumplings, creamed potatoes or for salad. Fried cooked potatoes are not a good food for the noon meal, especially for children or people doing active work. Baked legumes if preserved with fat meat or oil can be kept on hand for a week and be rebaked two or three times per week. PRESERVATION OF EGGS FOR THE WINTER. Put one layer of common salt or bran one inch deep on the bottom of a wooden pail or washtub. Then grease the eggs with parafine or oil and place them with the small end down, so that they will not touch the bottom of the tub. Fill with enough salt to cover the eggs one inch. PRESERVATION OF EGGS. No. 2. Preserve the eggs with salicylic acid, which can be bought in the drug store. Follow directions on package. CHILDREN. A child should have his face and hands washed before and after each meal. He should not be allowed to carry foodstuffs and candy about the house, or touch carpets and furniture with sticky and greasy fingers. If he requires food between meals, give him four or five meals per day, but have him eat his food in the proper place. The breeding of flies, mosquitoes and other disease carriers is greatly favored by allowing children to eat at any and all times without napkins or special preservation of their dress or without cleaning their hands before and after eating or before and after playing with animals and pets. The American child is given too much consideration at the table. There is a great difference between the saying “I don’t like a certain food” and “I don’t want it,” because there are things which taste better. To leave one’s plate half full of foodstuffs and ask for or accept another food is fashionable, but before the law of our Creator it is unclean and disrespectful. The physiological laws of our bodies are based on very economical plans; nature utilizes everything and wastes nothing. Cooked foodstuffs, whether they are wasted within our bodies by over-indulgence, or in the garbage can, create decomposition and germs.
