meal may scorch during the heating of the water.

The food above described is useful especially for
growing children as the whole meal or flour
produce the elements which nourish all the tissues
of the body.

Respectfully,
DR. HARVEY W. WILEY.

Dr. Wiley urges house wives to grind their own wheat flour and corn
meal, using the coffee grinder for the work. The degree of fineness of
flour is regulated by frequent grindings.

The improvement in flavor and freshness of cakes, breads and mush made
from home ground wheat and corn will absolutely prove a revelation.

Polenta--Corn Meal

Take an iron kettle, put in two quarts water with one tablespoon salt.
Heat and before boiling, slowly pour in your corn meal, stirring
continuously until you have it very stiff. Put on lid and let boil for
an hour or more. Turn out in a pan and keep warm. Later this is turned
out on a platter for the table.

Cut it in pieces of about an inch wide for each plate and on this the
following sauce is added with a teaspoon Parmesan cheese added to each
piece.

Brown a good sized onion in two tablespoons butter, add 1/2 clove of
garlic, about 5 pieces of dried mushroom, being well soaked in water
(use the water also) dissolve a little extract of beef, pouring that
into this with a little more water, salt and some paprika--a pinch of
sugar and 1/3 teaspoon vinegar.

A little flour to make a nice gravy. This makes it very palatable.

It takes about ten minutes to cook.

Serve in gravy bowl--a spoonful on each piece of Polenta. Added to that
the grated cheese, is all that is needed for a whole meal. Apple sauce
should be served with this dish.
