MRS. ROY FULLER and her family are partial these final August days to Apple
Pie—a pie made with apples which grow at their own doorstep. The apples are so
large that it takes only two of them to make a pie. Sometimes, Mrs. Fuller makes a
frothy-topped like the one pictured above, and sometimes she strips the pie with
pastry. This is her recipe: Wash and grate two big apples, peeling and all. Immediately
add 1 tablespoon lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Add 2-3 cup sugar and 2 table-
spoons dry tapioca, a dash of cinnamon, dash of cloves and dash of nutmeg. Set the
mixture aside for at least an hour. Line deep pie dish with pastry, brush crust with
butter or other fat to prevent absorption of the juice. Pour in apple mixture; dot with
butter. Have the oven hot. Cook rapidly for 10 minutes; cut down the heat and con-
tinue cooking for approximately 20 minutes. Mrs. Fuller’s family likes the pie hot,
and served with cheese. It is a favorite Sunday night supper dish.

Average Diet Found Adequate
IF you define the average Amer-
lican family as one with reason-
able financial security and freedom
from staggering debts, you can say
that in this country the average
family eats very well
A study of what the average
American family likes best was
made recently by Martha Logan,
home economic expert. Miss Logan
consulted many so-called “typical
families." She asked about 47,000
New York visitors what they like
to sat at home
Miss Logan's report shows the
general diet standard is adequate,
varied and substantial. Baked,
mashed and French fried are the
favorite ways of serving potatoes.
Toast, coffee cake, plain and sweet
rolls, dry and cooked breakfast ce-
reals hot biscuits and muffins are
steady items in most families The
most general used vegetable, either
in fresh or canned form, are peas,
beans, beets, tomatoes, corn, aspara-
gus tips and celery. The men in the
family drink more milk than the
women. Coffee u the favorite bev-
erage, with tea becoming increas-
ingly popular.
In order to help the woman who
spends the foc ddollar get the great-
set amount of essential nutrients

At Your Favorite Grocer
ONE of the best ways to convince
U yourself that buying in large
quantities is an easy way to get
/ more for your money is to help
plan the church supper. Here’s a
reliable menu for the supper: can-
taloupe. fried chicken with gravy,
scalloped sweet potatoes and apples,
creamed cauliflower, tomato jelly
salad, rolls and butter, pte. cheese,
coffee.
To serve 100 guests, this is the
order list: melon—13 to 25 depend-
ing on size, allowing from 4 to 8
portions for each melon, according
to size; chickens, large fryers, 25;
gravy, quarts, 8; cauliflower, medium
heads, 12; pies, cut in 6 pieces, IT;
cheese, pounds, 3: rolls dozens, 13
to 16; butter, print, 4 lbs.; butter,
tubs for cream sauce, 1 1b.; milk.
Retain the Green
Cook green vegtables, kale, spin-
ach or cabbage a short time in an
uncovered utensil. This helps them
to retain their color Do not add
soda to the water; it would destroy
some of the valuable vitamins.
Cutting the Cake
Angel food and sponge cakes
should be cut carefully since they
are so delicate in texture. Use a
regular cake breaker or try two
forks for separating it into serving
pieces.
• Keeping Ham Flat
If bacon or thin slices or ham
euri up at the edges during cooking,
make tiny cuts in the edges of the
meat about 2 inches apart. This
helps keep the meat flat.
Safeguarding Berries
Since berries mildew easily, do not
wash them until serving time As
soon ss they come from the store
< (or berry patch) spread them in a
* thin layer in a shallow dish and
store at once in the refrigerator.
Dodging Heat
An electric fan set in an open
window is a very good substitute for
a kitchen ventilator The best sum-
mer cooking plan is to do as much
of your work as possible in the cool-
est part of the day.
