Use a small amount of water, and a tight- fitting cover and you save more of the valuable minerals, Save the vege- table juices and store them in a cov- ered jar in the electric refrigerator until you add them to any soup. You- 'll bq glad, too, that vegetable dinners are thrifty dinners. That does not mean serving asparagus in January, Use vegetables in their proper season, when they are cheapest and best. And while they are cheapest and best, can or store for winter months! Directions for Preparation of Vege- tables 1. Select vegetables that are fresh firm, sound and medium in size for cooking, 2. Keep green vegetables in the crisping pan of electric refrigerator, until ready to use. 3, Remove insects by lacing in water which salt or vinegar has been added. 4, Wash thoroughly; use a brush for root vegetables. 5. Soak wilted vegetables, unpared, in cold water to freshen them. 6. Pare carefully, for await of the mineral content lies near the surface. Scraping removes less of the minerals than paring, , 7. Do not leave pared vegetables standing in cold water. They should be placed in covered basin in electric refrigerator. 8. Cut vegetables ,if necessary, to ensure uniformity of size. 9. Soak dried vegetables in -cold water until sufficient moisture is ab- sorbed to make them resemble fresh ones. 10. Use 1 tsp, salt for 1, quart of boiling water, Only 1 inch of water in bottom of saucepan is necessary for 1 quart of vegetables when you cook on an electric element, 11. Turn the electric switch from high to low as soon as vegetables be- gin to boil. Cook only until tender. Approximate cooking time is 10 min- utes for greens, 10 minutes for cobs 'of corn, and 25 minutes for root vege- tables. * * * * 1149969 00000000 ase0140.7 0M191777.01a0004a440' rum to grease your casserole, even if it is not full.

There was a time when navy blue was as definitely a Sign of spring as the first violets. But navy is now high color the year 'round as evidenced by this very new winter dinner and dance frock. Navy blue velvet lends itself to this type of frock with its softly draped bodice and skirt gathered in front. The square neck is tied with self bows.

Once upon a time, meat and potatoes were served three times a day-vitamins were un- known and no one guessed that vege- tables contained minerals. But, nowadays, scientists have prob- ed the secrets of the carrot and the spinach and all the other members of the vegetable clan. These foods are alkaline in reaction (except sweet corn) and help keep body tissues and blood neutral. They furnish vitamins which promote growth and prevent slisease. Minerals found in all vege- tables are calcium, phosphorus and iron-necessities for bones, teeth, mus- cles, nerves and body tissues. * * * * * Vegetables contain very little pro- tein in proportion to their weight, ex- cept the legumes (peas, beeans and lentils.) Such vegetable meals should always be rounded out by dishes con- taining milk, meat, cheese or eggs. With the exception of potatoes, corn, beets, dried peas and beans, vegetables contain little sugar, so a rich dessert can always be served with a vegetable plate. * * * * * It is quite in order to serve a vege- table plate (mounds of 3 or 4 cooked or crisped vegetables on. each plate) for a main course. Plan it -carefully to make a pleasing, picture. Contrasts in colour, shape and texture are the things to strive for, and you needn't worry unduly over vitamins and .min- erals. Just keep this simple rule 'in mind-Serve a hearty portion of two cooked vegetables-and another in a crisped, raw state. * * * * * Household Hints By MRS.
