`i PLUMB DELICIOUS
• This is the time of the year
When plump, juicy, piquant -
flavored plums deserve to be a
featured part of the menu.
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.
Yield — about 6 servings

salt and cinnamon. Cream short-
ening; gradually blend in the 1/2
cup sugar. Add egg and beat it
in well. Combine milk and van-
illa. Add sifted dry ingredients
to creamed mixture alternately
with milk, combining lightly
after each addition. Turn batter
carefully , over heated plums.
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. To prepare cut off

By C. A. DEAN, M.D.
MEDITORIAL: A Mrs. A. 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.

YOU MAY ADD HOURS TO FLOWERS
If you theat cut flowers with
a little extra care, you can
double their house life.
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. The
drooping may be caused by an
air space at the bottom of the

stem that doesn't allow water
to rise. 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.
