For oatmeal use 2JG cups rolled oats, 214 teaspoons salt, 5 or
(> cups water. Bring the water to a boil. Stir the rolled oats
slowly into the boiling water and cook for one hour, or overnight.

Eat the cereal with milk or syrup or butter or butter substi-
tutes. You don’t need bread besides.

A large amount of corn meal or oatmeal may be cooked at one
time. The unused part placed in a greased bowl may be kept
for a few days in a cool place. Do you know how good sliced and
fried oatmeal is?

Instead of breakfast food you can take bread — preferably one
of the war breads. Corn bread and milk is delicious.

Use Milk

Milk is an excellent food. A quart of whole milk gives as
much nourishment a.s one pound of lean meat.

Children especially need it to make them grow strong and
keep well. It is good for grown people, too. Give each child at
least a glass for breakfast. Drink it hot or cold, or use it on the
cereal, or make it into cocoa. Even at a high price milk is a
cheap food for children.

No coffee and tea for children. They are not food. Let the
grown people have them if they want them, but do not give the
children even a taste. The children’s drink is milk.

Of Foods the Government Asks Us to Eat

Use Fruit

Fruit helps to keep your body in good health and to prevent
constipation.

Use fresh fruit when possible.

Use prunes, dried applies, dried apricots. Soak them in water
over night and cook them long enough to make them tender.

Use dates or raisins. These are good added to the cereal ten
minutes before taking it from the stove. Then you will not need
sugar.

Use ripe bananas with dark skins. Bananas with greenish
yellow skins are hard to digest unless cooked.

These are much cheaper than the “ready-to-eat” breakfast
foods. A “ready-to-eat” breakfast food may cost 15 cents for a
big package, but if the package contains only one-quarter pound,
60 cents a pound for cereal. This is eight or ten times as expensive
as corn meal at 6 or 7 cents' a pound. Look for the weights printed
on the package and get the most for your money.

Corn-meal mush and oatmeal are good only when well cooked.
Many people use too little salt and don’t cook them long enough.

To cook corn-meal mush for five people use \ x /i cups corn
meal, 2 teaspoons salt (level), 5 or 6 cups water. Bring water to
a boil. Stir in the corn meal slowly. Don’t let it lump. Cook it
at least 30 minutes-. It is better when cooked for three hours, or
over night. Use a double boiler on the back of the .stove, or a
fireless cooker.

Use Cereals

Ccrn-meal Mush, Oatmeal, Rice, Hcminy (grits)
