pointed out, is not really a rose,

PASSES
Last week the world lost a good
and freat friend in the passing of
Dr. Carver, the Negro scientist.
Coming to rank with Burband and
Edison, he had nevertheless to over
come obstacles which the others
nevei’ knew. He did not even know
his own name, for he was born a
slave and with his mother was stol
en from his master when very young.
Later he was traded for a horse
worth three hundred dollars, But
the soul of that small, lonely col
ored child was possessed by a divine
curiosity which would not be denied.
Poor, ill-clothed and often hungry,
he struggled for his education, the
best of which came to him in the
woods and fields, for he seemed so
close to earth that the growing
things gladly gave up their secrets
to the one who loved them so. Be
ginning with crude homemade ap
paratus, he studied the chemistry
of soil and plants with results that
caused him to be recognized as
an authority on these things. Thom

Since this is "Nutrition Week
Canada” it may not come amiss
print once more the official food
rules. These are the result of care
ful research, and serve as a standard
by which it is well to check the
menus we serve to our households:
MILK—Adults, half pint,
ren, more than one pint. Add
as available. a
■FRUITS—One serving of
toes daily or of a citrus fruit or of
tomato or citrus fruit juices and
one serving of other fruits, fresh,
canned or dried.
VEGETABLES—(In addition to
potatoes, of which you need one
serving daily)—Two servings daily
of vegetables, preferably leafy green
or yellow and frequently raw.
CEREALS AND BREAD — One
serving of whole grain, cereal and
4 to 6 slices of Canada Approved
bread, brown or white.
MEAT, FISH—One serving a day
of meat, fish or meat substitutes, etc.
Liver, heart or kidney once a week.
EGGS—-At least 3 or 4 eggs
weekly.
(Eat these foods first, then if you
feel you require more, add any oth
er foods you wish. Some source
of Vitamin D, such as fish liver oils,
is essential to children and may be
advisable for adults.)
In response to many requests we
repeat the recipe for extended ibut-
■ter:
1 pound butter cut up in small
pieces and allowed to become
very soft, but not melted
can of unsweetened condensed
milk at room temperature
tablespoon of plain gelatine,
dissolved in a little cold wa
ter and then melted
boiling water.
Add gelatine to milk and
bine with butter. Beat with
tary egg-beater, or shake in a
jar till all are combined,
to taste and pack in a crock or mold,
This is the original method. We
used a mixture of cream ahd top
milk in place of the canned milk and
the resulting butter is smoother in
texture and also would contain more
butterfat. We found that a pound
of butter will take tip a pint of this
creamy milk and we liked it better
than that made With the condensed
milk. It also does not soften so
easily on hot toast.
Note: This extended butter can
not be expected to take the place of
the same amount of ordinary butter
when used in baking recipes, as it
contains less fat per cubic inch*
