Miss Ruddock, head, of the domestic science department, at the high school, yesterday after-| noon at 3:30. in the domestic sciencerooms, brought out the value of meatand white flour substitute* Her spec'al aim was to show how aubsti-!( tut* s may be introduced into the diet without reducing the amount of of nourishment which the body needsiFor Everyone“Many persons feel that the little j they can do to help in this way will \ amount to almost nothing so long as j waste goes on In industry, in hotels, etc. But food economy is a quest on ! for everyoue and every individual j must help.“Home of these food substitutes are more expensive than the articles theyreplace. For those who are struggling to live within their incomes at present the government does not ask so much of a sacrifice. It is better that they •should not snbst'tute than that they! ' should be undernourished. To make up for this, those who can afford to *«* mi should save on meat, wheat,etc. as much ns possible, as a pa- I trlotlc duty, to feed those at home as well us those abroad.•Most persons «*at more than they actnally need. This Is a waste be-I *hn «nm'm* nourishment inmeat and meat substitutes is not■ s.oied in the body as is the surplus in. starch, sugar or fat foods.”Meat SubstitutesAs substitutes for meat M'ss Rud- j dock recommended nuts. milk, eggs,cheese, fish, beans, peas, lentils.“We mnst save milk and grownups are urged not to drink it in order ! that the children may have enough.! Hut milk can be used judiciously incooking and as such is a good andcheap substitute for meat. Hence j vegetables w'th cream sauces are very .nourishing. Hklm milk is as valuable■ used in this way as the whole milk.J “lt;»n the subject of milk. ProfessorRoseneau of Harvard University says,: ‘The actual food value of one quart of milk la equal to three-quarters of } a pound of beef, two pounds of cldo»-«n. eight eggs, two pounds of codfish.* **Urges VegetablesM'ss Ruddock urged the nne of! h«»kr foods and vegetables In conjunction with meat substitute* in order that the appetite might feel■ satisfied. In this way the absence of meat would not be felt so keenly and at the same time the body would be better off for not having too much of it.j Samples of a delicious meat substitute, prepared by her pupils, werepassed around. The dish was a loaf made from bread crumbs, peanuts, and cheese. The recipe will be given later in the “America Needs You” column. Watch for it.Ward captains can get their Instructions at the ahop Friday and Saturday mornings from 9 to 11.
