Here's an easy way foretaoin .Here's an easy way to let plums •',4play a starring role on the menu, and at the same time serve an extraordinary delicious dessert. Fresh -Plum Pudding is quite a change from the more famil- iar plum pudding served in ark most Canadian homes every Christmas. Not only is it easier. j to make, but unlike its Christ- mas namesake, it also contains plums. Sweetened fresh plums are baked under a lightly spiced batter, and the pudding is then served warm from the oven along with pouring cream, or perhaps with ice cream. This pudding makes a particularly appropriate dessert when served as a contrast to an otherwise cold meal. Fresh -Plum Pudding the woody parts of stalks, re- move coarse leaves and wash thoroughly under cold water. Cut stalks lengthwise and tie loosely in bundles. To cook, place bundles upright in about 1 -inch of boiling water. Sprinkle with 'teaspoon of salt for every 6 servings. Cover and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes for the young broccoli; 10 to 15 min- utes for late broccoli. Drain well.

Bake in preheated oven 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm with pour- ing cream. Fresh Vegetables The first step in serving good vegetable dishes is the selection of the fresh vegetables in the market. Second in importance is to cook them so as to retain their natural color, food value and crisp -like texture. Here are some buying, preparation and cooking points for five •popular summer v'egetables. Cabbage—Early and mid-sea- son cabbage need not be as firm heavy and well trimmed (close cut stems and outer leaves re- moved) as late season cabbage. However it should be fairly heavy for its size and free from evidence of injury, decay and yellowed leaves. To prepare, re- move any coarse or wilted outer leaves, wash and cut into wedges leaving a portion of the heart on each wedge. One small head will cut into 8 wedges. To cook, arrange wedges in a sauce- pan with about 1/ inch of boiling water and 11/4 teaspoons salt. Cover and boil gently until the coarsest parts of leaves are ten- der, 8 to 10 minutes. Cauliflower should have firm, creamy white, compact and fairly smooth flowerets with no brown or black spots. Jacket or outer leaves should be fresh, green and stiff. To prepare, re- move leaves and leaf stalks. Separate into even -size flowerts or leave whole and hollow out core to a depth of about 1 inch. Wash thoroughly. One medium head gives 6 servings. Cook flow- erets in 1 cup boiling water and 1/2 teaspoon salt (for medium head). Cover tightly. Boil gently until cauliflower is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain well. Cook whole head, core down in 2 cups boiling water and a/4 teaspoon salt (for medium head) until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Corn—Depending on the va- riety, the kernals of sweet corn will be either yellow or creamy yellow. Regardless, they should be bright, plump and free from discolorations. Husks should be bright green and tightly wrap- ped around the cob. Sometimes part of the husk is cut back to show the kernels and their de- gree of ripeness. Small, very soft kernels indicate immatur- ity—very large, firm and deep- ly colored kernels may indicate over maturiey. •- Remove husks and silks from cob. The latter is easily remov- ed with soft brush. Trim stalk. Very tender cobs of corn will cook in boiling water in 3 min- utes, more maturecorn takes about 7 minutes. Snap Beans—Both green and yellow wax -beans should be free from blemishes, have a clean, fresh and reasonably well -shap- ed appearance. Seeds should be small. If they are large enough to make a distinct bump in the pod it is a sign of over maturity and the beans may ..be tough, woody and stringy. To prepare them wash and snip off ends. Leave whole, cut in half or "French" (cut length -wise into ' ribbons). For 6 servings, cook 11/2 pounds beans in one cup of boiling water with %4 to 1 tea- spoon salt. Cook at a gentle boil in a covered pot for 10 minutes. Remove cover and con- tinue cooking until tender, 4 to 6 minutes longer. Broccoli—Good- quality bro- coli is clean, tender and free from wilted leaves. The bud clusters should be compact with no yellow color in evidence. The general color of the buds de- pends on variety but it should be of a dark, purplish or sage green. Two pounds of broccoli will serve 6.

P. writes that she had a cyst re- moved from her wrist six months ago and is wondering why it has come back again. The usual type of cyst that is found on the wrist is known as a ganglion. It originates from a tendon sheath in most instances. Each tendon (leader) that pass- es over the wrist onto the back of the hand to the fingers has a sheath or tunnel through which it passes. The sheath secretes a liquid into the tunnel to facilitate the movement of the tendon. For some unknown reasons a swell- ing can develop in the sheath which later turns into a thick, mucous liquid. A circular wall, formed by layers of the sheath, develops around the swelling. This is how a ganglion origin- ates. Trauma, such as an unusual use of a wrist or forea%ni;""as with a weekend do-it-yourselfer, or an injury from a fall, may initiate the formation of a gan- glion. Ganglions can occur wherever there is a tendon sheath or over a knuckle (joint). Even though the back of the wrist is the most common site, ganglions also oc- cur on the fingers, underside of the wrist, top of the feet and toes, outside of and behind the knee. They usually don't produce symptons although pain and weakness of the involved joint is occasionally seen. There is no relation of ganglions to can- cer and thus they do not have to be removed unless they are "in the way." Treatment consists of remov- al by an operation. Due to the inherent nature of ganglions, they tend to recur after surgery. Injection of ganglions has been tried with some success. SEAFORTH MONUMENT WORKS OPEN DAILY T.

Cut the flowers in the morn- ing. Take them to the basement or some cool place (about 40'). Then condition them by placing them in room temperature water that covers the full length of the stem. Leave them like this, uncrowded, in the cool place, for at least one or two hours. Then they will be ready to ar- range and an inch of water in the container will be sufficient for most flowers. For woody -stemmed flowers, such as lilacs, make a 2 to 3" slit up the stem to ensure that it is open to receive water. When you arrange them, after condi- tioning, be sure the cuts are immersed in water . Dahlias, poppies and other plants that ooze a milky sap, require singeing. Push the stem ends through heavy paper to keep the steam from rising'to'- the blooms. Then place the stem in 1 to 2" of boiling water for 1 minute. Another method is to hold the ends of the stems in an open flame for 30 seconds. This treatment seems to hold the sap in and makes cut flow- ers last longer. Singe the stems again if you cut them when you are re -arranging the flowers. Carnations take in water for the whole length of the stem, so most of the -Stems should be im- mersed in water. If one flower is dropping bad- ly in a bouquet, remove it.

Place the wilted flower in a container of warm water: Cut 2" off the stem while it is under water, and leave the bloom there until it straightens up. To keep flowers at their best for the longest time, change the water daily. Otherwise bacterial growth may flourish and clog stem ends. At each water change, cut a little off the stem, to be sure it isn't clogged. Arnold STINNISSEN Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada Telephone: 852 R 12 R.R. 5 . - SEAFORTH MR. AND MRS.
