Bananas for Baby. Bananas
are excellent protective food for
baby. They have a well-rounded
supply of vitamins and minerals
and are loaded with cfluck food
energy. Because of their 'well
liked flavor, soft texture and
their easy digestability and as
similation, fully ripe bananas
are one of the first solid foods
introduced into baby's diet.
At six to eight weeks mashed
fully-ripe bananas are given. At
three to six months, mashed ba
nana goes well with other foods
in baby's diet. And by the time
baby is nine to 10 months old he
can have bananas baked or
broiled as well as out of hand.
Base for Nutritious.
Thrifty Bean Soup
Boon to the busy cook and
budgeteer is a smooth, concen
trated base for bean soup. Use
today or tomorrow and store
some in the home freezer. Dry
beans are plentiful, offer vari
ety in navy beans, baby limas
and pintos. Takes up little freez
er space. Needs only thawing,
thinning with added liquid and
maybe additional seasoning for
serving.
Make the Puree. Sort and
wash two cups of beans. Boil
beans two minutes in five cups
of water. Remove from heat and
let stand for an hour. Add two
teaspoons salt, cover the pan
and boil beans gently in the
same water until tender, about
one hour for limas; 1V4 to two
hours for other kinds. Then put
through food mill or colander or
press to remove skins using all
the cooking liquid.
For freezing, cool quickly by
setting the bowl of puree in a
saucepan of ice water. Pack in
rigid moisture-vapor-resistant

freezer containers of glass, me

When ready to make up into
soup, remove puree from con
tainer, thaw In saucepan over
low direct heat, stirring con
stantly or thaw in double boiler.
Season as desired.
" Variations. A cream bean soup
may be made by adding milk
and a little fat and flour. Or add
meat stock or tomato juice as
the liquid instead of milk. Chop
ped onion may be added for ex
tra flavor and bits of cooked ba
con may be crumbled over the
top. Some people like steaming
bean soup with grated cheese on
top, while still others prefer a
generous slice of lemon. :
Care and Use
Of Swiss Cheese
Swiss cheese when eaten "as
is" tastes best when almost at
room temperature. Its flavor is
then cleanest and its texture at
its softest. Therefore, remove
the cheese from the refrigerator
some time before the meal, but
do not unwrap until shortly be
fore you start eating. You get
more enjoyment from thick,
chunky slices than from thin
ones.
Swiss cheese keeps best in the
piece. Wrap it in waxed paper,
then roll tightly in kitchen tow
el. Tightness makes the paper
seal the cheese surfaces and
helps prevent dehydration and
mold. Keep refrigerated, away
from odorous food.
In grated or shredded form,
Swiss cheese gives zest to soup,
gravy, sauce, salad dressing, au
gratin and macaroni dishes.
Mixed with butter, it is a per
fect base for canape mixtures. A
half cup grated Swiss added to
one cup white sauce is wonder
ful over vegetables.

In addition to its usual chore of
introducing the new year, Janu
ary always brings a challenge to
the meal maker. The blustery
weather still ahead means that
youngsters and oldsters alike
must have nourishing, filling
meals as a safeguard against
colds and that "mid-winter
slump". But menu-planning is
even more of a problem after the
holiday feasting and, of course,
the food budget has probably
been sadly overworked. With
these thoughts in mind, let's try
this tasty, warming casserole.
Golden crusted topping made
with superior Oregon wheat flour
makes this tangy casserole a sat
isfying mid-winter luncheon or
supper dish. It's easy to mix, too.
Tangy Topped Casserola
1 cup flaked tuna (7-oz. can), M cup
chopped onion, hi teaspoon salt, dash
pepper, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, lhi
cups condensed vegetable soup (11-oz.

Combine tuna, onion, salt and pep
per, mixing lightly. Add lemon juice,
soup and milk. Mix until well blend
ed. Pour into buttered 1-quart cas
serole. Top with Parmesan Puffs.
Parmesan Puffs
1 cup sifted enriched flour, lhi tea
spoon baking powder, hi teaspoon
salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, hi cup grat
ed Parmesan cheese. 1 egg, beaten, hi
cup milk. 1 tablespoon melted short
ening Sift together flour, baking powder,
salt and sugar. Add Parmesan cheese.
Combine egg, milk and shortening.
Add liquid to flour mixture, stirring
only until flour is moistened. Drop by
spoonsful on top of tuna mixture to
make 8 small puffs. Bake In hot oven
(125 0 ) about 23 minutes. 4 servings.
After things have simmered
