they will take care of you." This is
the .good advice given by Nutrition
Services, for, though there may be
plenty of vitamins in the food we buy,
very often by the time the food is
eaten the vitamins have all but vanish-
ed through improper handling of the
food on its way from the ,market to
the table.
Vitamin C is the most easily de-
stroyed member of the vitamin family.
It iS also the most difficult vitamin
to get in adequate amounts during the
winter time in places where citrus
fruits are not availalle.
- Tomatoes, fresh or canned,. rank
after the. citrus fruits as the bcst food
source of Vitamin C.. Turnips, pota-
toes and cabbage are other dependable
winter sources of this vitamin -..if they
are prepared properly. Turnips, for
instance, can contribute... substantial
amounts of Vitamin C or practically
none, depending on the treatment they

TAKE A TIP;
1, Draw' your garden on paper, to

and insecticides; repair tools and
plan to do as much as you can,
2, If yoti've never germinated seeds

4. Vegetables require sunshine at
least three-quarters of the day, so
don't plant in the shade.
5. The loam should he at least 6 inches

for your table. •
By growing your own Victory Gai'd-
en you will not only have fresh vege,
tables available all summer, but yotr
will also contribute to the saving of
commercially grown vegetables for
the canning factories, Thereby you
will be definitely aiding in the nation-
al war effort and you will feel that
you are doing something pcisitive to-
wards VictOry.
So start planning now for that
Victory vegetable garden. Beans,
beets, cabbage, carroth, peas, corn,
lettuce, tomatoes, liotatoes, and many
other vegetables can be grown the'
average back garden. It will take
energy and hardwork, we admit, but
its well worth the trouble!

comes in you will be able to crow over
