THE FARMERS' MONTHLY, FEBRUARY, 1927 



and desks, a screen for use during the 

 school doctor's examination, a doormat, 

 and the required playground space — all 

 kept in a sanitary condition. 



By showing active interest in the school 

 and school-health program, making the 

 school one of the civic projects, possibly 

 making it a health center and a recrea- 

 tion ceter. Showing interest by visiting 

 the school, knowing the teachers, doctor, 

 and school nurse if there be one, making 

 the school supplementary to the home in 

 the care of children as to healthfulness 

 and comfort. 



This is the best investment any com- 

 munity can make. Will you not live up 

 to this great obligatian?

"We have a good many apples in the 

 cellar, but my family gets tired of them. 



1 am told that apples are a wholesome 

 fruit and I should like to use them often, 

 especially since we have them. Can you 

 suggest some different ways to prepare 

 them?" This is an appeal from a mother 

 of a large family. 



Two different and very popular apple 

 dishes are Blushing Apples ( and Apple 

 and Bacon Sandwiches. 



Blushing Apples 

 6 firm cooking apples 



2 cup sugar 

 1 cup water 



J cup cinnamon candies 



(Two stisks cinnamon, I cup sugar, 

 and some fruit coloring may be substi- 

 tuted for cinnamon candies.) 



Put cinnamon sticks or cinnamon 

 candies in water and bring to boil. Add 

 sugar and stir until well dissolved. Add 

 a few drops of coloring. Pare apples and 

 leave whole, or slice lengthwise or across. 

 Drop into the syrup and cook until tender, 

 but not so soft that they will break when 

 removed. Put onto a platter and pour 

 syrup over them. These are delicious 

 served with ham, pork roast or pork 

 chops. They are very attractive for a 

 Valentine dinner. 



Ayrpleaauce and Bacon Sandwiches 

 These are excellent for lunch or supper, 

 and even for breakfast. Cut day-old 

 graham or whole wheat bread in slices 

 one-half inch thick. Toast on one side 

 only. Lightly butter the toasted side. 

 Spread with a think layer of .slightly 

 sweetened applesauce — at least one half 

 inch thick. Cover with thinly sliced bacon 

 and put on top grate of hot oven. Leave 

 in oven until bacon is cooked. If broiler 

 is used, bread may be toasted on both 

 sides ; but in an ordinai-y oven the bottom 

 of the bread will burn if it has been 

 toasted first.

According to data gathered by the 

 National Dairy Council, milk and cream 

 consumption per capita in the U. S. has 

 increased from slightly less than one pint 

 in 1920 to slightly more than g of a quart 

 in 1926. 



He who eats cabbage has a good head. 

 Eat spinach and own an iron range. 

 Say it with cauliflowers. 

 Buy your colors from the vegetable man. 

 For high spirits eat the lowly vegetables. 

 Eat 18 carrot soup. 

 Let your book of health contain vegetable 



leaves. 

 Don't say 'Let us eat,' but say 'Eat 

 Lettuce.'
