WOMENSPAmiOncSERVICE By Edith Knight Holmes H' OW many of us are conscientious In food conserving and how many talk about It and don't srovern our households according to the rules? The Portland clubwomen and the mem bers of church societies and other or ganizations have taken the matter up thoroughly and In most cases are com plying with the request of the Food Administration. For the sake of those who would "mind the rule" and have some new practical recipes, the United States Food Administration Bends out suggestions that all should heed. Arti cles of food hitherto given scant recog nition have been brought into the lime light as never before and we all have been reminded that we have been ex travagant. The peanut has suddenly wakened to find itself famous in the food world. Because of its protein value and its variety of by-products it has come Into Its own as an emergency food and is recommended in Its various forms by the Administration. Peanut loaf long has been used by vegetarians as a substitute for meat, while peanut butter contains enough fat and oil to make the use of other butter unnecessary. Translated into food terms, a pound of this peanut but ter contains 2560 calories. High-grade peanut oil equals the finest olive oil for many purposes and the poorer grades are used in making oleomargarine and soap. This oil ranks fourth In quantity of all the vegetable oils produced in the United States and its estimated production for this year alone is 4,605,000 gallons. Peanut meal blends easily with other meal and flour and is used by both bakers and confectioners. Here are some conservation break fasts recommended by the United States' Food Administration: 1. Cornmea! mush with dates, served with milk Scrambled eggs. Spanish style. Coffee.' Z. Apple sauce. Creamed codfish. Corn meal spoon bread. Coffee. u. S. - Hominy grits served as cereal. Strawberry Jam. Oatmeal muffins. Cocoa. Scrambled Eggs Spulah Style. 6 eggs 1 cups tomatoes 1 tablespoon fat 1 slice onion teaspoon salt. 1-3 teaspoon pepper Simmer tomatoes for five minutes; cook onion in fat for three minutes: remove onion, add tomatoes, season ings and slightly beaten eggs. Cook until of creamy consistency, stirring and scraping from bottom of pan. Cmmpal Spoom Bread. 2 cups water 1 cup milk 1 cup cornmeal 1 tablespoon fat 2 teaspoons salt 1 egg. Mix the water and meal, bring slow ly to the boiling point and cook five minutes. Add the beaten eggs and other Ingredients. Beat thoroughly and bake in greased pan 25 minutes In a hot oven. Serve from same dish with a spoon. Oatmeal Muffins. 1 cups milk 2 cups rolled oats ' K. 2 eggs 2 tablespoons molasses 1 tablespoon fat 1 cup flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt Pour hot milk over the oats and let soak one-half hour Add the beaten eggs, molasses and melted fat.

Portland, Oregon m mi Kitchen Economies By Isqbel, Brands H OW shall we cook attractively the various dried fruits that have been kept from the Summer harvest? Un fortunately, many of them like the prune, the dried apple, the apricot don't enjoy a good reputation, for dried fruit has long been the badge of ex treme economy. But now is the time to try making these economical foods into attractive desserts, for the sign of economy on tne table in these times is sign of patriotism. Any of the dried fruits can be stewed by washing them first in two or three cold waters, then placing them in i uuwx or euftmeiwi saucepan ana letting them soak for 24 hours. Cook slowly for two or three hours until tender. The grated rind of half an orange Remove the stones from the prunes. mix lightly with the apples so as not to break them and put into the pie plate lined with crust. Mix together the sugar, flour una grated orange rind and sprinkle over the top. Cover with the upper pie crust, brush with milk and bake in a hot oven for IS minutes, then reduce the heat and bake IS minutes longer. Apricot Whip. 1 cupful of cooked dried apricots 3 tablespoonf uls of sugar 1 white of egg Press the apricots through a sieve. add the sugar and the beaten white of the egg and beat well until light. Then pour into individual greased ramekins and bake in a slow oven about 20 min utes. Serve with a sauce made by thick ening the Juioe In which the apricots have been cooked. Apples, prunes or dried figs may be cooked in the same way. Frwne Cereal. 1 cupful of prunes Vi cupful of farina M. teaspoonful of salt Boiling water Soak the prunes overnight and cook In the same water until tender.

This may be served hot or poured Into a mould to cool, when it can be served in then add sugar and simmer for half an I measure the prunes and the water and nour more. Many persons declare that the dried apples taste even better than the fresh ones In puddings like apple betty or in pies. Dried Apple Pudding. 3 cupfuls of dried apples 1 3 cupfuls of stale breadcrumbs 4 cupful of honey 4 cupful of butter or other shorten ing 14 teaspoonful of ground nutmeg lemon . Let the apples soak for 24 hours. Mix the breadcrumbs with the melted but ter and then spread them over the bot torn of a buttered baking dish. Cover with half the apples, half of the nut meg, the lemon Juice, and lemon rind and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs thickly. Then repeat with the rest of the apples, honey, etc. and top with breadcrumbs. Place in a moderate oven, covering at first so that the crumbs do not brown too quickly. Bake for 40 minutes.
