The truth about turnips has given prominence to this vegetable which keeps us well provided during the entire winter. There are two types of turnip—white turnip and yellow (rutabaga). The white turnip is milder flavoured but not as high in food value as the yellow. When the yellow turnip is overcooked it turns dark, is watery and generally unpalatable. As a Canadian product turnips pro- vide an ample amount of Vitamin C when served raw—combining the fact that splinters of chilled raw turnip are delicious, They also contain valuable minerals, provided they are properly cooked, i.e., barely enough water to cover—and the drained-off juices are used in the, soup pot. And they are an energy food to serve with meat, fish or eggs. A few extra hints: " Combine grated turnip with diced celery, chopped lettuce, cubed apple and salad dressing. ,2. Cut turnip into very small pieces to cook. Cook only until tender. 3. Cubed, cooked turnip, white sauce (made of part turnip liquid and milk) and cooked sausages make an appetizing dish. 4. When mashing turnips the meth- od is to add 1/4 tsp, sugar, 1 tsp, flour, cup top milk and mash thoroughly. Add a pinch of nutmeg for another variety. 5. Because of the pronounced flavor of yellow turnip we like to mash it and combine with an equal amount of mashed potato. Scalloped Turnip With Cheese 1 yellow turnip, salt, pepper, flour, % cup grated old cheese, 1 cup milk, 1 cup bread crumbs. Pare and slice turnip very thin. Cut Into quarters. Arrange slices in greas- ed baking dish, Sprinkle each layer with salt, pepper, a little flour and grated cheese. Add milk to come up at least half the depth of the dish. Fr NUTRITION Do you feel you just can't get your children to drink their . quart of milk a day? Then why not get them to eat ill Milk is so important that every one of us should make a real effort to see that, somehow or other, we do get our daily requirement. It always has first place on any list of foods necessary for a good diet. This is because milk is an almost per- feet food—the most complete of all our foods. When that daily quart of milk is taken apart by scientists, and analyzed they find that it will supply a person with: All of the calcium they need in a day. • All the riboflavin they need in a day. Half of the Vitamin A they need in Haifa day. ofte Thiamin they need in a day. More than half of the Protein they need in a day. One-third of the-Calories they need in in a day. Is that not a count striking enough for us to make every effort to see that these needs, are supplied? And most important of all is the fact -that milk is the only food from which childree can get ,enough calcium or riboflavin, Without milk, it is impossible for' them to supply this need from other foods. Calcium builds strong bones and teeth. Robaflavin puts pep andi. energy into lifer as well as keeping the eyes and skin in good condition. So help out the milk situation at- your house by serving more milk purl- dings, cream soups, souffles, creamet vegetables, etc. Here's a suggestion- to add interest to the old reliable ,rice pudding. Lemon Rice Cream V2 cup rice 2 cups milk 1 cup boiling water 1 egg, separated % cup sugar 24 teaspoon salt Juice and grated or finely chop. ped rind of 1 lemon. Method: Wash Rice. Cook with milk an& water over boiling water until tender, about 50 minutes, Mix egg yolk, sugar, salt, lemon juice and rind, ant add to the rice-milk mixture. Cook 2 or 3 minutes. Beat egg white until" stiff, but not dry, and fold into rice mixture. 'Yield: 8 servings. - 9 • --- parents, Mr, and Mrs. John Mason. Pte.
