Clean and (Please turn to page 419.) *Teacher of Home Economics, Gregorio del Pilar Elementary School, lVlanila. November, 1939 SAVORY DISHES (Co11tin1ud from page 413) wash the fish. If they are sma11, it is better to wrap them in pieces of banana leaf. Place the fish wrapped in banana leaf in a clay or a porcela;n pot. Add a small amount of salt water -just enough to prevent the fish from burning and to have a few tablespoonfuls left after cooking. Cover the pot. Cook slowly from 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with calamansi. Camias or green tamarind may. be placed in the pot and boiled with the fish. This adds flavor and produces an acid taste to the fish. THE YOUNG CITIZEN GOOD YOUNG CITIZEN (Co11ti11ued from page +04) YOUNG CITlzEN Is ORDERLY. Amando does not take things which do not belong to him. He returns anything left on a desk. He does not copy the work of his neighbors in school. In examinatioris he does not cheat in order to secure high grades. A GooD YOUNG CmzEN Is HONEST. If Amando is asked a question, he always tells the truth. Sometimes it is hard to do this, but he will not lie. A GOOD YOUNG CITIZEN Is TRUTHF.UL.

So he er the fire and let it cook very slowly until the rice is .saved his money. A GOOD well cooked. From 10 to YOUNG CITiz.EN Is 12 minutes is required. It is better to cook the rice without washing it, because Vitamin B, minerals, proteins, and fat ·are washed away during the process of washing. THRIFTY.
