Thursday, May 28th,, 1942 WINGHAM ADVANC-TIMES Remember green is the color signal for vitamin A, necessary for good vision among other health factors. Yellow vegetables and fruits such as carrots, squash, apricots and peaches also contain this important vitamin. Leaf lettuce is one, but just a leaf under a salad isn't going to provide the day's requirements. It must be eaten in quantity, including the outer dark leaves which are highest in food value. In buying either leaf or head lettuce watch for fresh, crisp tender leaves. Spinach and wild green "lamb's quarters," are early green vegetables. Cook for the shortest time necessary and with little water. That which clings to the leaves after washing is sufficient. Avoid using soda to retain color since it destroys vitamins A and C, advises 'Nutrition Services, Depart- ment of Pensions and National Health. Onions add flavour to spring menus. Use the green tops finely chopped in salads.
