Alliatant State Club Leader of Boys- and Cit..-Oubs The recipes given in this bulletin have' been tried out. They. ~ave been gathered from vat:"ious sources and in many cases modi ~e? to fit local conditions. In a state where the altitude is so varie9, ~t IS impossible to give exact time for all localities. The time given IS that required at the Colorado Agricultural College (altitude 5,0Q0 feet). "4"'-11 measures are taken level and should be smoothed off with a ~ni.fe .l>u~ .n(>t. pa.cked., . The First Year Work " 'The first year work includes the preparation arid cqoking of vegetables, and of canned and cured fish and'meats.. The main object. of these lessons is to give instructioris .in t.he, pr;paration and cooking of the common foods which. may be ob taltled in every community. It is much more essen~ial to kJ;low. how to boil a potato well than to know how to make a potato .s~lad. The salad will never be a success unless the potatoes are properly Cooked. It is not necessary that the lessons be worked opt in the order given, as many o"f the articles must be prepared when in sea ·son. • r It is suggested however that, at the completion of the year's work, each club serves a meal to the parents "and friends. of the' club. members and that ~ch member ,be responsible for the preparat~Qn~ of some one article to be served or a given portion of that a~icle. -,,' BASIS OF A WARD Exhibit _ ~..___ ~._ _: ~ ~ ~. 100% .

GIRLS' COOKING CLUB 5 The Use of the Food In the Body Food is needed to build and repair the body tissue, to give heat and energy, to regulate body temperature and to aid in removing waste. Wheri too much of anyone kind of food' is eaten, certain organs of the body are overworked and sickness is the result..Oply ~bout one-tenth of the food is needed for tissue building. , Meat (protein) is one of the principal tissuebuiJding foods. The average person, however, eats more meat than is needed. R~eumatism, kidney and liver diseases are often the result of too much meat. Starches and sugars (carbohydrates) and fats furnish 'heat and energy. These are supplied by vegetables, fruits, nuts and milk. Mineral salts and acids help to purify the blood and strengthen the bones and teeth. Mineral salts and acids are largely supplied -by, fruits, green vegetables, milk, eggs and meat.

Water is supplied by water and other beverages, fruit and vege tables. In planning a meal, one should have some food for tis~ue bUilding, some for heat and energy, some for nlineral salts, some for flavor and some for water. As a rule the appetite is a pretty 6 COLORADo AGRICULTURAL COLUG~ ·good guide as to'the kind of food needed but sometimes it becomes abnonnaI. Most foods contain more or less of each kind of food.. In the list below, the articles are grouped to show the predominating food principles. Table Setting Have the linen clean and well laundered. Fold the cloth the entire length twice, thus making three lengthwise creases. All lengthwise creases should be put in first and pressed in with the iron. 'The crosswise creases should be put in last and only folded. A pad or piece of cloth, placed over the table before the linen is .laid, will protect the ta:ble, lessen the noise, save the table linen and improve the' appearance. The pad should be but little larger than the table so there will be no danger of its showing below the cloth. When laYing the cloth, have the lengthwise creases parallel with the sides of the table and the same·~ount of cloth extending over the two sides; this brings the center crease at the middle of. th.e table. It is desirable that the cloth be long enough so as much may extend over the ends as extends over the sides, but in any case, the cloth must be adjusted so the same amOunt is left at the two ends. Having the cloth even and smooth, the plates are then placed one inch from the edge of the table, in the center of the space allott~ ed to.each member of the family.
