Top the pie with a regular crust with vents for the escape of steam or with a lattice crust made with strips of the pie dough. Combine three and one-half tablespoons of cornstarch, one-fourth teaspoon of salt, one cup of sugar and two-thirds cup of juice from canned cnerries. Place over moderate heat and cook, stirring constantly.

unul the mixture is thickened and clear. Remove from the heat, add one tablespoon of butter and blend Then fold in two cups of canned, well-drained cherries. (Do not stir again). Set aside to cool while making pie dough. Roll pie dough one-eighth inch thick, fit into an eight-inch pie plate and trim so that one half inch of dough extends beyond the rim of the plate Fill witn the cherry mixture, place strips of dough in a lattice on top.

trim off the ends and fold double an upstanding rim around the edge of the plate with the overlapping margin of the undercrust. Cr.mp with the fingertips Bake in a 425-degree oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

QUESTION: I would very much like to have any recipes you have for serving kidneys and liver which on offered. 1 also am interested in getting any recipes for preparmg beef hearts and spareribs. I have your recipe for stuffed hearts but I prefer to have the heart and ribs boiled as I dont seem to be able to digest any dressing.

ANSWER. One of the members of our family found dressing indigestible until we left the onion out entirely you might try that. The offer of meat dishes proved so popular I printed the recipes on last week's page, but since you may have missed them I have sent you a copy by mail.

Address your letters to Mary Moore in care of this paper, enclosing a stamped and self-addressed envolep if you at a private and prompt reply.

QUESTION: I was thrilled a little while back to see a letter of mine quoted in your column. You spoke a week or so ago of always having ready-mixed pastry in your cupboard to save time I do this, too, and I also keep ready-mixed biscuit. One can make an er.dland variety of sweet and savory dishes, biscuits, pancakes and dumplings with this, so I thought someone might find the recipe useful. (Eds. Note: Recipe for Ready-Mixed Biscuit printed with last weeks best war-time recipe.) The following is a not-so-very-economical recipe which is a wartime one because it uses no sugar.

Upside-Down Coffee Cake One-quarter cup butter. 4 cup liquid honey, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 3 cup nutmeats, 1 cup ready-mixed biscuit (6 cups sifted flour, 4 level tablespoons baking powder, 2 teaspoon salt, 9 tablespoons shortening and milk to mix when needed those are the ingredients of the large recipe 1 3 cup milk. Melt butter in frjmg pan, add honey ana cinnamon Add milk to biscuit mix, and drop by spoonfuls on hot honey mixture. Cover and cook slowly for about 15 minutes. Turn upside down on platter and serve hot.

Miss Moore, you spoke of saving all your sweet leftovers in a glass jar and making it all into a pie once in a while. You seemed a little at a loss as to what to call it. so I thought I might tell you that when I was a child we had an old cook ho used to do this and we alwavs called it 'Resurrection Pie And now to come to what I really-wanted to say! Would you please send me your recipes for kidneys, liver, pigs feet and headcheese9 We are killing a pig next week, so I would like a quick leply: I know I have written too long a letter, but I do want to say how-much I enjoy your page Good cooking is the "one touch of Natuie that makes the whole world km." I think, and makes "Judy Grady and the Colonel's Lady sisters under the skm! In fact, I think that a nation's cookery is more interesting and moie characteristic of them than their folk-songs, folk-dances oi legends. So all power to your elbow BARBARA L. ANSWER- A grand letter! Thanks so much for the lift.

You will have seen bv now that ve ued vour biscuit mix and Dutch Apple Cake for the best Wartime lecipe last week.

QUESTION- Im writing to see if you could help me plan some meals for my husband who has just had his teeth out. Would vou please send a copy of the Lima Bean Casserole Dish with Poik Chops? Thanking you for your help. MRS.

MACDONALD. ANSWER As a general rule a dentist will tell a patient whose teeth are just removed to eat a soft diet such as one would serve an invalid or similar to the diet of a baby of 18 months This includes fine four-hour-cooked cereals, soft poached or soft cooked eggs in the snell, pureed vegetables (buy these in five-ounce cans put up for infant feeding for convenience), cream soups, pureed fruits (canned the same as the pureed vegetables), whole milk, and you might add to this such dishes as milk toast, well-cooked cornstarch puddings, junkets, custards, orange juice and bananas. If your husband had to live on that for a week his diet would not become monotonous and his nutrition would be perfect. Be sure you include the pureed vegetables and fruits and orange or tomato juice and bananas and he will not get indigestion. Lima Bean Casserole Dish with Pork Chops 1 For a large family cook 1 pound of lima beans: for a small family-cook 2 pound of lima beans until tender after soaking them overnight.

About half an hour before they are done, the water should be allowed to cook away, and then add 1 pint tomato juice, 1 bay leaf, 1 sliced onion, and cook slowly until tender. Pour mto buttered large casserole, removing the bay leaf, and sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cover top with enough 34-inch pork chops to serve your family. Sprinkle chops with pepper and paprika and bake at about 400 degrees Fahrenheit with pan standing high in oven to brown fat on pork chops quickly reduce heat and bake about 40 Of More Use to Countr After They Have Education By Logan Clendening, M.D. APPROVE heartily of the compromise agreement reached by Con press recently on making the ages fo-the draft from 20 to 45 The exclusior of the ages 18 and 19 has many ad vantages Few young men at tho1 ages are able t-endure such se ere 1 a har an strain as the might be calle-on to do in mil: tary service Th-bones are not sc comp 1 1 a those ages, iio have the muscL acquired highest grade 1 1 tonicity.

In fact there Is no reason why such stnctly practical courses should no be continued as a regular part of th-university curriculum. The time' ahead are going to be stnctly practical for some decades. It will hardlv suffice for the universities to turn out only a group who are owlishly headed for PhD.s and teaching jobs, or are trained only in doctrinaire discussions of social science or protozoology.

Major John Richardson Chapter Re-elects Entire 1941 Executive 1 NOTE from an anxious mother asks me to give her ways of serving vegetables that will make her children like them.

Including my own two, the precious little tyrants should be sent to bed without their suppers! and next day served the same vegetables alone, first, before they receive any other food. This is tough treatment but children require it It works like a charm though, and Mothers. I am willing to wager you won't hear a word about vegetables for the rest of your child-feedings days. (Although if you have a die-hard like my little Marianne was. I dont know the answers, for when she was 13 months old one morning I found her with a cheekful of spinach having held it there all night!) When she started to like spinach.

I don know, but now she eats it by the pound so she can fight Peter. Children must eat a large variety of vegetables and the "faster their prejudices are removed the healthier they will be. What I could not endure from my two was the complaining attitude, in England every square inch of grass plot and window box is used for vegetable growing of one kind or another purely that they may survive and our pampered pets are quibbling about liking them. Your attitude should be "Like them and eat them willmgly or leave the table and have them cold for breakfast Don I sound mean? Yes but if you borrow my technique over the years you will have done your children a great kindness. Cream Soups With Vegetables First I have to mention again the one sure-fire method of providing vegetables for the children and that is in the good old soup pot which contains aU your vegetable water plus many celery trimmings and leftover daily vegetables If you cant manage enough additions to give it good flavor boil it with a 5-eent beef bone occasionally If you are canny you can include in cream soups almost as much spinach or peas or tomatoes, etc as you would give the children in a serving of them alone.

Children like soup and if they get their vegetables in it your worries are half over. The only drawback is that it fills them too soon and they haven't enough room for the other foods that are essential for balanced nutrition. When I serve cream soups I reserve the milk until the end of the meal If they still want it after tljeir dessert is eaten it is all to the good. Baked Potatoes 1 In school the children are being taught that they need chewy food like the skin of baked potatoes, raw-carrots and celery, peanuts, skm of apples, etc and it is not so hard to persuade them to eat these things now. But for those who object to the skin of baked potato I have two good suggestions.

For plain baked potato be sure to oil the skin well before baking bacon dripping is very good, or if butter is used, do not apply it until about five minutes before removing potatoes from oven. The fat softens the skm and makes it quite attractive. My next suggestion is new new to me, I should say. is 1 11 Baked Sliced Potatoes Wash medium sized potatoes very well and slice them lengthwise in 8 inch slices, and arrange layer in baking dish sprinkling with salt and pepper and dots of bacon drippings or butter between layers When you have enough done for your family pour in just enough boiling water to cover bottom of dish, to prevent burning. Watch it and add water if necessary, but let cook away at the end.

This gives a FTench fried effect, breaks up the skin a good deal be sure not to pare them and for adults for a variation, sprinkle them with cheese. It is one of the nicest ways of serving potatoes I know. For the reader enquiring about Vitamin here is an ideal food and method of retaining it. Potato skms contain Vitamin B. Spinach With Beets One resourceful mother I know discovered that her daughter who Is finicky about vegetables, would eat both spinach and beets if mixed together but neither of them separately.

Now she is using the canned products, mixing one can of spin ach with one can of beets, and draining the liquid into her soup pot. The combined vegetables are heated in top of double boiler and flavored butter and salt and pepper and a few drops of lemon juice (or vinegar for adults) or a cup thick cream sauce 3 Tomato Cakes This is an old-fashioned dish I can't remember hearmg of It since I was at heme as a child as kids we loved it. One cup canned Annual Meeting Follows Dinner at Windsor Court; Reports Show Splendid Year, With $7 Raised and Many Causes Assisted tomatoes, 2 eggs, 12 soda crackers, rolled very finely, salt and pepper to taste, bacon drippings or other fat for frying or baking Season tomatoes and mash with half the crackers crumbs, add eggs and beat smooth Add remaining crumbs and shape into small flat cakes. For childien these should be baked and served in place of meat or other protein dish. For adults they could be baked or fried in deep fat or shallow fat when they are quite delicious.

A cheap item for an interesting vegetable plate. 4- Delicate Mashed Parsnips a Wash, pare and boil sliced parsnips just enough salt water to cover, until tender enough to mash easily. In a separate dish boil 2 whole patatoes ifor 3 medium parsnips) and when they are tender add them to the parsnips, with 4 cup top milk and 2 tablespoons butter and mash very well, adding salt and pepper to taste. Some children might eat them more readily if more milk were added. Scalloped Carrots These may be baked in individual dishes for children to make them more attractive, but are much easier done In a large casserole.

Shred cleaned carrots into buttered casserole, and pour over barely enough milk to cover. Add salt and pepper and dots of butter, cover tightly, and bake at 350 degrees F. until carrots are tender, and most of the milk has been taken up. If any readers have good vegetable ideas for children we would be glad to hear from them. Soldiers Wives To Meet on Monday The Soldiers Wives Club will meet on Monday at the home of Mrs.
