Maybe you have been tossing out the
very parts that are best for you and

We have learned a lot about vege-

Open pan-frying destroys the valuable

2. Eat them raw. Crisp, tender
vegetables are tops for health, Most
of them are served in wedges — many
are shredded. Don't pour the salad
dressing on too soon. To retain min-
erals in the prepared parsley sprigs,
celery curls, carrot sticks, etc., wrap
in wet parchment paper or put in the
crisping pan and keep in electric re-
frigerator—don't soak in water.
3. Cook vegetables whole for health,
Finely chopped pieces lose vitamins
and minerals. Save the cooking water
or vegetable liquor. Use it the same
day if possible in soups, salad dress-
ings, sauces, gelatine moulds, or to
make a health cocktail,
4. A small amount of water will
cook any quantity to tender goodness
if you have a snug lid for the pot and
controlled heat. With an inch or two
of water (depending upon size of vege-
table) put on tight , lid and turn the
electric element to high. When steam
begins to gush out, turn a small ele-
ment to Medium or a large element
to Low. Cook only until tender. If
the vegetable begins to fall apart or
turn grayish, the vitamins have escap-

Hints

Did ,you ever eat raw beets in a
salad? You'd probably like it, as it
has a flavor that ties in well with those
of cucumber and onion, which are the
other ingredients of the salad sug-
gested to serve with today's menu.
Some folk prefer their salad vege-
tables cooked, but others (including
me) prefer theirs raw and like to ex-
periment with different vegetables in

SAYING IS SERE
Save Clothes , .
, With care as always; twice to be
remembered with those sheer rayon
blouses, Danger time is ironing time.
Patience and gentle handling will
make them last twice as long. Watch
that the iron is barely hot enough to
do them and handle as though the
blouse were made of spider's gossa-
mer, for the point of the iron and a
little pressnre will make a hole in a
second.
Save Paper,,,
. By putting your children's energy
to work come the next rainy day,
Have them cut up old envelopes and
similar scraps of paper into scratch-
pad size and sew the pieces together
at the top with brightly coloured wool.
Save Time . .
, . . By leaving many of your dishes
to dry themselves. The notable ex-
ceptions are tin pans which should be
carefully wiped to prevent rusting.
And as you swish your dishes through
the hot soapy to the hot rinse water,
do it with the least number of actions,
If you are righthanded the dishes
should speed' to the left, if lefthanded
it's vice versa,
GUARD AGAINST
POLIO MENACE
If the trend of previous years runs
true to form, an upsweep in polio-
myelitis or infantile paralysis can be
expected during the latter half of the
summer. It is a disease all mothers
dread for as yet 'no vaccine or toxoid
has been discovered that will immunize
children from infection.
The Department of National Health
and Welfare says that all parents can
do when poliomyelitis occurs in their
community is to reduce contacts with
strangers. This means the avoidance
of unnecessary travel and visiting.
The virus which causes the disease
is present in the discharge from the

If you wish to grow salads indoors
this winter, you must plan to dig up
chicory roots from your victory gar-
den late this fall, but before the ground
freezes.
When the roots have 'been dug, cut
off the tops about an inch above the
root five to eight inches long. Bury
the roots upright in damp sand. Keep
the temperature at about 60 degrees.
In two or three weeks blanched heads
five or six inches long may be cut for
use.
Diseased roots should not be stored.
Care must be exercised when digging
the roots not to cut or bruise them.

also carry the virus and are just as
