shoWs that padded clothes were worn
in many parts of the world. In Eur-
ope our ancestors made great use of
this practical idea. The ladies used
to wear quilted petticoats to guard
against the cold of their drafty, under-
heated houses. An 18th century ex-
ample made of bright pink silk, elab-
orately embroidered, is now on euchi-
bition in the costume gallery. At this
time men also used quilting, particu-
larly for their waistcoats and dressing

VITAMINS ARE FACTS
:Homemakers! Within recent
years the word "vitamin" has assumed
a new and vital significance in the
Jives of people who had previously
;given it little, if any, thought. To-day,
the great majority of active and intelli-
gent homemakers do realize that is
associated with both "a sound mind"
and "a sound body,"
'While vitamins cannot be seen,
tasted or measured by weight, they
'can be measured chemically. They are
primarily food substances which, in
small quantities, are essential to a
-regular and healthy way of life—a way
-of life we are now seeking to maintain.
Scientific research has unfolded a
very enlightening story in the matter
of vitamins. To-day, we know that
people who take the foods which do
not _supply adequate amounts, even of
one vitamin, may find that they are
not up to par when on the job, and
that there is a lowering of resistance
to disease, In the case of children
vitamin deficiency will also cause their
growth to be retarded,
Official food rules have been care-
fully planned in such a way as to as-
sure a balanced diet. By observing
these simple rules 'every day, people
can enjoy a variety of food which will
provide all the vitamins that build and
maintain strong, healthy bodies. Ignor-
ing these basic foods means ignoring
the laws of nature.
To renew acquaintances with the
various members of the vitamin famiy
we point out the prominence given by
the air force 'in their diet to prevent
night blindness or "dimout." This
'vitamin A is found in lezi•fy, green and
yellow vegetables (carrots), liver, fish
liver oils and butter.
Vitamin B-1, which assists in pre-
venting such distresses as pink eye
and indigestion and, at the same time,
gives the appetite a lift is known as
the "morale" vitamin. It is found in
whole-grain cereals such as wheat
germ, cracked wheat, rye, buckwheat,
oatmeal and flue Done which has beep
enriched by these grains, Dried Peas
and beans and lean meat are not so
rich in vitamin 13,-1.
It is highly important to recognize
the value of wheat germ which can be
served id the morning cup of coffee,

mixtures.

Take a Tip
1. Make flour paste to use in fasten-
ing down a piece of oil-cloth instead
of tacking it on. When this is dons it
cannot wrinkle or crack when being
washed. Waxing the cloth will add
to its wear too . . but do not spread
bread on it to butter or you may have
wax-flavoured sandwiches. '
2. Open your home canned products
carefully, not to damage the jar tops
or rubber rings. Wash the jars and
rubbers thoroug,hly-in soapy water and
rinse twice in hot water When thor-
oughly dry, put the rubber rings in the
jars and put on the tops, then place
on the cool storage shelf again, •

NEW VALUES FOR OLD
A startling and challenging piece of
information has been drawn to our at-
tention by the DepartMent' of Nutri-
tion Services, at 'Ottawa. In survey-
ing and computing nutrition values on
the fool available for civilian consturm-
Won in Canada last year it was found
that potatoes are the source of 35%
of the Vitamin C that is available to
Canadians in the present market.
Moreover, one average potato con-
tains enough Vitamin C to supply %
of our daily requirement, Do you see
the tremendous significance of these
statements? Vitamin C is essential to
our health and it is particularly diffi-
cult to obtain the amounts that we
need in Wintertinie. Yet the humble
, potato is willing to come to our res-
cue, if we will only take the trouble
necessary- to avail ourselves of the
value that is there, This means that
we must cook our potatoes. properly.
A mild deficiency of Vitamin C re-
sults in defective teeth and bone for-
mation, tender joints, headaches, low
use of your furnace and save heating.
the oven. Scrub the potatoes thor-
oughly, grease the skins with a bit:
of dripping so they will be tender en-
ough to eat, and put them on the wide'
ledge inside your furnace door, and
they will bake in about one hour. Be
sure your family eats the skin so they,
get,the benefit of all the minerals, that
lie close to it.
Steamed potatoes are preferable to-
boiled ones 'because this elusive Vita-
min C. though 'easily destroyed by
cooking in • water, is not as quickly
destroyed by cooking in steam. If yaw
have no steamer, suspend a colander
over a pot of boiling water, put the
potatoes in it and put a cover on,.
Done in this way' they will take about
fifteen minutes longer to cook but will
have a very fine flavor. •
If you must boil your potatoes, do
so with the skins on! Don't peel them
first. Scrub them well instead and;
boil them in a covered kettle. Their
nutritive value will be much higher..
Will following these measures mean.
a drastic ,change in your kitChen rou-
tine, and in family habits of long
standing? Well consider the benefit
it will be to the family health, the
foolishness of throwing away half of
the values for which you have spent
your money, the wisdom of exchang-
ing a good habit for a bad one —

With the women of Canada rests

turbances and general weakness and
'restlessness. This same Vitamin C is
destroyed by overcooking, especially
in rapidly boiling water in an open
kettle,
. Potatoes contain enough Vitamin C
to supply. one-third to one-half of our
daily requirement — if we do not bail
it away in preparing those potatoes for
the table. Boiled pared potatoes have
become a staple daily dish in vast
numbers of Canadian homes; With the
result that Canadians are deriving
great benefit from the energy-giving
value of the potato, but are losing the
Vitamin values which could so easily
be included. The solution is simple
enough:-
1. Bake your potatoes, or
2, Steam your potatoes, or
3. Boil potatoes in their jacekts
with a cover on the pot.
Baked potatoes are the most nutri-
tious form in which you can eat them.
