It is supported by your investment in Easter Seals, by memorials, by contributions and by payment for treatment from those who can afford to pay.

Combining foreign flavors to accent American dishes is the newest way to vary the everyday menu. Whereas ten years ago only gourmet cooks would keep ginger root and chutney in their spice repertoires, today Mrs. Average Housewife finds these tastes an irrevocable addition to her usual array. , Take your old standby, canned pork & beans with tomato sauce. Nothing much more American than when served with frankfurters or Boston brown bread. But think of how versatile the bean dishes become if given a Mexican chili powder accent, or an international Oriental-Polynesian touch as found in Mandarin Pork & Beans. Mandarin Pork & Beans blends the orange sections and coconut of the south sea islands with ginger and chutney of the Orient to form the base for an exotic meal-in-ono pork chop dish. An Oriental accent salad of bibb lettuce, sliced water chestnuts, and slivered almonds rounds out an intriguing menu. D e s s e r t m i g h t b e f o r t u n e cookies and spiced tea.
