For children under ten the cream soups are perhaps a wiser choice. These have milk as a basis and the! strained pulp of any vegetable. Even; with milk at twelve or fifteen cents a quart it is a cheap food, because one quart of milk yields as much nourish- ment as six eggs, a quart of oysters or a pound of round steak. A good strainer, preferably of the stationary type, fastened to the table with a clamp, is necessary. Any canned vege- tables, as peas, corn, tomato, etc., may be used, as well as current fresh vege- tables. Children enjoy peanut butter soup, cream of corn soup, cr'.;i;m of celery, cream of parsnip, etc. The housewife may be too busy to design herself a coat of arms, but in one of the panels at least there should be a soup pot! And remember, not soup as a separate course, but made so well and so nourishing of the combined element.s of meat, vegetable and cereal that it shall be in itself a perfect, satisfactory and economical meal. .COMFORT ^l Strong rpci^bugs Home-Made Economy.
