Peas
sweet, young and tender!

One of several delicious

Canned Vegetables
Do you know that Del Monte offers
you a selection of the finest vegetables
that grow? Peas that are a surprise
for you in delicacy and flavor. Tomatoes that are fully ripened before
they're picked. Corn with that rich,
creamy color and delicious flavor characteristic of high quality. Asparagus
in several sizes, sealed in cans and
cooked at once before its delicate
flavor can vanish. And there are many
other varieties of vegetables available under the Del Monte label. All
are thoroughly cooked. Only one thing
to do after you open the can-just heat
the contents and they are ready to
season and serve!

The Philippine Home
(Continued from page 171)
I have selected three recipes which are appropriate for the
mid-day meal at this season of the year.
CREAM OF CORN SOUP
3 cups of canned corn.
3 cups of milk (equal quantities of evaporated milk
and water).
2 tablespoons of butter.
2 tablespoons of flour.
1 small onion.
Mix chopped onion and corn together; add enough water to cover and
cook ten minutes; melt butter in double boiler, stirring in flour gradually.
When well-blended, add milk which has been previously heated; cook
until a creamy mixture, then add corn and onion mixture. Season with
salt and pepper to taste. Serve with cream crackers or thin slices of
toast.
BREAD OMELET
1/2 cup bread crumbs.
3/4 teaspoon salt.
1/8 teaspoon pepper.
4 fresh eggs.
1/2 cup of milk.
1 tablespoon of butter.
Soak bread crumbs 15 minutes in milk; add beaten yolks and seasoning, then fold in stiffly beaten whites; turn into hot buttered pan and
cook slowly. Brown on top in hot oven.
HAM AND NOODLES (AN OLD GERMAN DISH)
Add one cup of chopped, cooked ham to two cups of thin white sauce;
put layer of this mixture in bottom of a buttered baking dish; then
add a layer of cooked noodles, and so on until the dish is full, having
noodles on top. Sprinkle over with buttered bread crumbs and put in
hot oven to brown.
Cholera
(Continued from page 174)
SOME ODD FACTS
A sanitarian told the writer that Chinese in Manila
never seem to contract cholera, and he ascribed this to the
fact that they eat only long-cooked and very hot food, in
individual bowls and with individual chopsticks, and that
they drink only hot tea. He stated also that in past years,
the incidence of cholera was always greater during the early
part of the week — following Saturday and Sunday when
people are more apt to be indiscreet. Cholera is always
worst in the rainy season, because bright sun-light kills
the germs in a few minutes, and, furthermore, because the
rains tend to spread fecal matter and wash it into wells
and springs, thus contaminating the water supply.

quisite room. The alabaster panels, the carpets, the carvings, the lighting effect-all are beautiful. On our return
we visited the Mohammedan cemetery. We couldn't
resist driving again to the pyramids.
MEMPHIS
Wednesday, June 19.-With Fares, son of our Sheik, as

guide, we were started in a rather poor car by 8:00 a. m.
It is only about fifteen miles from Cairo to Memphis, ancient
capital of Egypt. The road seemed at first to lead toward
the pyramids, but at Gizeh we turned and followed a canal
much of the way. We saw many camels and donkeys and
passed groves of date palms. We passed our first threshing floor. Grain was spread on the hard ground or on a

Always look for the red Del
Monte shield. It is your
