Of course. every- you miss out on Very good eating if you never try some of the familiar ones. Eggplant is it good example, its sleek. purplisli-black. rather stately appearance attracts you immediately. but your admira- lion may be followed by bewilder- ment about how to rock it. All too few take the LIN” to find out. and eggplants are often bypassed at the vegetable counter. The name tells you nothing. for in size. colour. and taste eggplant is quite unlike an egg. History rc- cords one attempt to change the name. That was in the seventeenth century when British traders brought eggplants to London niar- kets from West Africa under the name "Guinea Squash". However, that could not have broil very pop- ular because it i-ontinued to be known as the eggplant. The eggplant is a native of India and the Indians. Chinese and Arabs grew them centuries ago to use as A basic food in lli':ll' diet. It may well be that the rally egg- plants were smaller and more like eggs. but in any case it. would seem that the name is heie to stay. Eggpl.-ints. as we in Canada know them. are oval to round lll shape. Ibout the size of n niuskmelon with a purplish to black skin colour. it is interesting to note that they do occur in other countries in many sizes and shapes. some may be rather like an over-sized banana while others are more like a huge tomato. The colour can vary too- some are white and others are green. But certainly you are mak- ing it big mistake not to become acquainted with this "Glamour Girl" of the vegetable patch. for once you do izet to know and like the eggplant you are sure to serve it often. Cooking The Esslilsnt. If you have hesitated up to now to cook eggplant then you will be, glad to hear that the home erono-i mists of the Consumer Section. eggplant. cheese. cheese For A Change! Canada Deparunent of Agriculture. say that it is very easy to do. Be- fore cooking it. of course you hAve to buy it and the home economists have some very good Advice on this point. They say to choose an ass- plant that is firm, glossy And free from blemishu. As for cooking-frying is perhaps the fastest method and the one that is used most often. First peel the eggplant and cut it into half- inch slices. then dip the slices in egg and crumbs and saute them in a small amount of fat until they are tender and golden brown. This takes about 8 minutes. Pi-led eggplant is delicious served with broiled tomato halves. Broiled en- plant is good too, especially if you sprinkle a little grated cheese on it just before it is finished cook- ing. Since eggplant hAs such a dis- tinctive flavour it combines well with other vegetables in A casserole. so, it can be used either As A vegetable at dinner or u I lunch or supper dish. An idea for A luncheon dish is to cut the eggplant in half length- wise. scoop out part of the centre. cut liito cubes and use as part of the filling. Then fill the eggplant with A tasty stuffing of either creamed meat or vegetables. Bake it in a moderate even of 3b0”F. for 45 minutes or until tender.

THE CIIITICALLY ILL One of the greatest problems in the management of those who have ievere or prolonged illness is the question of An adequate diet for Lhem. The marked loss of weight and the complications of not enough nourishment in the critically ill and convalescent patient is well known. In many types of diseases the rate of metabolism (building up and tearing down process of the body) is increased. For example, a. rise in temperature of one degree may in- crease metabolism by 13 per cent. In agitated patients it may be in- creased as much as 30 per cent. Thus we have an increased need of calories at this time. on the other hand. we are faced with the fact thst the critically ill patient with no appetite cannot-eat an adequate amount. Even when the patient makes a great effort to be co-oper- ative and eat as much as he can. it is usually impossible for him to eat the required number of col- ories in the form of natural foods. of course, what happens is that, if the body is not getting enough calories for its needs. it calls on the fat deposits of the body and the protein from the muscle. thus causing extreme loss of weight and muscle wasting. various methods such as cggnogs. enriched milk and ice-cream drinks, interval And nllhl feedings have been tried. usus.lly without success. I Now. it has been found that crit- ically ill patients can absorb high caloric diets if some method can be devised to make it any for them. And it also has been found that a diet high in proteins and calories is helped greatLv by the use of A high fat content. Accordingly dietary supplements consisting mainly of fat emulsions given by mouth or stomach tube via; tried in nine cases of critically ill patients who showed striking weight loss and wasting. The com.- position of the emulsion include edible oils such As peanut. coconut or salad oil. sucrose, flavoring. pro- tein in the form of powdered skim milk and water. The fat supplement was given usually half an hour after meals. What were the results? In All nine cases there was improvqnent in both nutrition And gsmnl some of well-being, lncraau in general strength. wounds hesled more rap- idly. temperatures previously ele- vated returned to normal. stubborn bed sores decreased in side or dis- appeared. . Moreover. fat supplements can be prepared easily and economically in any hospital and may even be pur- chased commercially for patients not in hospital. They are helpful in any chronic disease ststo where there is loss of or failure to nip weight. Anne Adams Patterns LUCKY sssur-ssznlts ii Pu-kdnla W.

I. DOROTHY DIX Her Interfering Ma - In - Law - DEAR MISS DIX: I married Ed five yeArs ago, and our troubles began three years later. His mother moved to the country then, and she has expected him to visit her every week end. leaving me at home. While he's Away, I go out with 1 girl friend. He tells his mother what I'm doing. then, she writes me saying I should stay home and not go trzilpsing about. My husband is a heavy drinker and though I've asked his mother to talk to him about this weakness. her reply is that he's B man and should be able to do what he likes. All I seem to be getting out of my marriage now is the pleasure of working all week to pay the bills, then spending the week-ends alone. I'm 83 and have no children. I'm so tired of this sort of life that I think I'd be better off Alone. Lila O. TURN HIM OVER.

It's most unfair to him to send him along to school hAndicApped in this way. He leunsspesch habits in his home so let him hear good English: en- courage him to say whAt he means in sentences, not merely in single words or phrases which are under- stood in the family.

He should be Able to say clearly his whole name. address and telehone number. Baby talk sounds cute at home. perhaps. but he'll be embarrassed. maybe laughed at, if he carries this habit to school with him. . . . Learning to give and take, to get along with others, is necessary for your child's happiness at school-in fact, throughout his en- tire life. Encourage his friendli- ness toward other people. Give him the place and the opportunity to play with other children. How's Ills Mental Outlook Your child should be well equip- ped with sound mental and emo- tional health. He'll have this in good measure if he has felt secure in your affection, learned to take his place in the family group. shared in small responsibilities. learned to do some things on his own, and has had a chance for play with playmates his own age. If he has A healthy attitude to- wards authority he'll fit more eas- ily into the school life with its many regulations.

DEAR MISS DIX: Ever since we were muried, three years ago, my husband has promised to have my name put on the deed to our house. but he has never done it. Now, he admits he made the promise only to Avoid a quarrel. He won't even make a will leaving me the house. The reason I'm so concerned About this is that my mother worked hard for 30 years, then my father died leaving most of his money to children from a former marriage. Mrs. J.
