Bake in hot oven (425 de grees) four to four and one-half minutes until delicately brown ed. This method makes a tender, easy to cut meringue. A stewing hen stored in the home freezer might be j the source of the stewed chicken used in this creamed chicken shortcake. Left-over baked chick en might also be used With the cut-up chicken ready nr the re frigerator, this recipe would be a good one to make when a hurried meal is called for.

To make ' this dish, cut the liver-into cubes Flour, brown and put into a casserole. Make a millj- gravy and pour over the liver. Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes , Include potatoes and a green or yellow vegetable in the vege table group. Don’t forget to in troduce new vegetables a spoonful at a time until the child ren remember the taste and like it. Youngsters like to know exact ly what they are eating in a salad They like bite-sized preces, wedges, slices or sticks of fruits or vegetables that they can pick up and eat with their fingures. Be sure breads ■ aren’t too fresh or, if they are, split and toast them slowly for a few min utes. They are more digestible when served in this way. Young sters like breads made or cut to' a size that suits their fingures. HEAR The Mennonlte Hour Each Sunday Lancaster WLAN 12:30 I*. M Norristown WNAR 8:00 A. U Hanover WHVR 1:00 P. M.
