LA GRANDE, Jan. 29. (To the Editor.) Every woman whose heart Is with the Flag now questions "What More Can I Do?" She who loves most will find the way most truly, for love translates itself into action. United action and intelli gence Is essential, for our Allies must have more food than we now think wo can spare. Right foods make for efficiency and so start your family off wltlh a well chosen breakfast of: . .. . Fruit Cereal Muscle-building food Bread Beveragos FRUIT Fruit ho(p3 to keep your' body in good, health and to prevent constipation. Uso fresh fruit when possible. Uso prunes, fre3h apples, baked or stowed, dried apples, dried apricots. Soak them in water overnight and cook them long enough to make them tender. Use dates or raisins. These are good added to tho cereal ten minutes before taking it from the stove. Then you will not need sugar. Use ripe bananas v.'lth dark skins. Bananas with greenish-yellow skins are hard to digest unless cooked. CEREAL Corn-meal mush, oat meal, rice, hominy (grits). These are much cheaper than the "ready-to-eat" brciklas foods. A cents a pound. Look for the weights printed on the packago and get the most for your money. Corn-meal mush and oatmeal arc good only when well cooked. Many people use too little salt and don't cook them long enough. To cook corn-meal mush for five people use 1 1-2 cups corn meal, 2 teaspoons salt (level), 5 or G cups water. Bring salte water to a boil. Stir in the corn meal slowly. Don't let It lump. Cook It at least 30 minutes.' It is better when cooked for three hours, or overnight. Uso a double holler on the back of the stove, or a fireless cooker. For oatmeal use 2 1-2 cups rolled oats, 2 1-2 teaspoons salt, 5 or 6 cups water. Bring tho water to a boil. Stir the rolled oats slowly Into the boiling water' and cook for one hour, or overnight. Eat tho cereal witli milk or sirup or butter substitutes. You don't need bread besides. A- largo amount of corn meal or oatmeal may be cooked at ono time. The unused part placed in a grossed howl may bo kept for a few days In a cool place. Do you know how good sliced and fried oatmeal Is? Instead of breakfast food you can take bread preferably ono of the' war breads. Corn bread and milk Is delicious.
