' USE MORE BUTTER One of the most practical resolu­ tions that Canadian homemakers may make is to promise themselves that they will buy and use more butter. From a consumer standpoint butter is one of the best values on the mar­ ket ath the present time. To apprec­ iate the full return received when but­ ter is purchased, it is only necessary to bring to mind a few undisputed facts about this superior fat. As a health food, butter is high in the list since it is a concentrated heat pro­ ducer for the body and one of the most reliable sources of vitamin A. Both of these qualities are important, particularly during the cold season of the year when the body requires an extra supply of heat, and when an ample amount of vitamin A is essent­ ial to build up resistance to colds. The palatability of butter is another outstanding characteristic, the excel­ lent flavour of good butter adding greatly to the enjoyment of foods on which or in which it is used. Why not resolve to use butter more generously? Spread it more thickly on the bread and make it the regular shortening for cakes, cookies and other delicacies made in home. 1% 2 6 4Va- 1 cups cups eggs cups teaspoon salt teaspoon baking powder Fruits and nuts— 1 2 1 cup cherries, chopped cups bleached sultanas cup almonds, blanched and shredded cup lemon and orange peel, finely shredded or 2 % 1 cups sultana arising cup mixed peel, finely cut cup currants Grated rind of lemon Cream butter well.* Add sugar gradually and cream well together.
