HEALTH COOKING A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION ANO LIFE fNSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA WHAT' TO EAT TO BE HEALTHY Number Four Every individual requires to eat certain < quantity' of vitamin C to prevent scurvy. A. lack of vitamin C affects the miles and milesof capill- aries throughout the body. The following• foods give you vita- min C': Oranges, lemons, and grape- fruit, tomatoes raw or factory can- ned, and most raw fruits and vege- tables. Vitamin C is very readily destroy- ed by heat. It is essential, therefore, that everyone take each day some "raw fruit or raw vegetables. Cana- dian factory canned tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C because the slicking is done without exposure to air. The lack of vitamin D in the diet causes I•ickets-in children, soft bones and defective teeth.. The following foods give you vita - D: Cod Liver oil, and other fish oils in liquid or capsule form, egg yolk, and sunshine in summer. As this food element is not obtain- ed in ordinary foods in adequate a. - mounts, it is absolutely essential for every infant and child, andvery ad- visable for every adult, to take some vitamin D during the winter. months —from October through to April. One teaspoonful of cod liver oil gives you as much vitamin D' as 14 egg yolks or 1600 servings of spinach. There are available in many parts of Canada specialty prepared milk and bread which contain vitamin D. Much has been said and written in recent years about the vitamins, but not all that one hears and reads a- bout them is ('rue. Food faddists and . exploiters have toyed with the vitamins extensively. They have a very important part to play in normal diet for normal people and if you follow carefully the information contained in this series of articles on "'What to Eat to be Healthy" you will secure authen- tic information and practical advice on the foods you should eat. The next article in the series will deal with minerals in the diet. Farm Woodlot Can Be Made Valuable To make the wcodlat a valuable asset to the farm, considerable at- tention has to be devoted to its up- keep. That reasonable moths can be made from .the farm woodiot has been demonstrated on many occasions, but systematic management is required to bring this about. It is a generally se eepted fact that it is necessary to leave a good stand after each cut- ting; if any future forest crops are expected, and the question arises as to the proper number of trees to be left on an acre of land for the largost possible returns. Also there are the questions to be considered. What trees shoull be left to mature, and does it pay to leave seed trees? Experience has shown that the trees selected for cutting should be chosen with careful consideration as to their potential value as saw -timber or for piles. Trees which give indi- Cation of developing into high-quality timber should be left to mature, for timber of this quality may later on net a profit from three to ten times as much as the same timber would bring as :pulpwood. With regard to seed trees, the need must be eonsidea. ed for 'leaving seed trees properly scattered throughout a stand in or- der to be sure of getting reproduction if the stand is damaged by wind or fire. Such a practice will also in- crease the annual ineome per acro by providing extra timber. On' a stand where the timber ave- rages up to 'ten incites in diameter, it is good practice to leave between 100 to 200 of the, best trees per acre, if the most profitable returns are to be obtained. Unless such timber, is on very poor soil, it is reasonable to ex- pect the stand each year to grow an equivalent of onecordper acre. This means that, it will be possible to go back to the sante area and cut the equivalent of five cords of pulpwood every five years, at least until the trees reach saw -timber size. Systematic management of the farm ivoodlot includes removing dead and diseased trees, cutting Only ma. tune trees for lumber, and fencing the f fe a Tested A=,w Recipes cera a nee tie tel in ter f f }µla SPRINGTIME .FOODS With the approach of spring comes a yearning for lighter foods, and ev- eryone -welcomes a change from the more or Iess heavy meals which are served during the winter months. le is natural that each new food such as maple syrup, rhubarb, and asparagus, which appears on the market as spring ggagresses is heralded with delight, and that other foods which suit the springtime taste are in popu- lar demand. The following recipes suggest a few of the many foods which seem to be rightly associated with warm, spring days, and should prove effective in whetting lagging appetites. Jellied Ham Rolis 6 slices cooked ham 1 small bar white cream cheese or 1 cup cottage cheese Cream to moisten Half cup horseradish 1 package lemon jelly powder 1% cups boiling water Quarter cup vinegar Half teaspoon salt Dash of cayenne.

Jesus, Christ arose from the dead at this season of the year, and the same idea comes to us as we look about CARE OF CHILDREN the vegetable' IKingdom. How eagerly we listen for the first . notes' of the robin, and how welcome is the caw' of the crow! The girls with their skipping ropes, and the boys with their marbles, bring to us some of the earliest signs of Spring. Before long we see the followers of Isaak Walton:looking-over their fish- ing rods, talking about the perch run, and looking forward to the opening of the trout season, and, we realize that they are away to their Spring and Summer enjoyment. It is indeed a glorious feeling ex- perienced when one goes out into. the garden plot, •rakes the leaves off part of it, and finds rhubarb, one of the earliest growers, peeping through the ground, or the tulips, daffodils or iris poking their noses through the earth in the flower garden. Then on in May we find the store fronts adorned with boxes of flower and vegetable plants. We take our selection proudly, carry them, home, put them in the ground and assist Nature to do her work in bringing them to maturity. • In the early spring, seeds are plant- ed. They die and front them, new shoots spring up. The same is true of bulbs ' planted in the fall. It is only through deterioration and death of the bulb that new shoots come intoSbeing. o it is in our Christian life; when we accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour we' must become "dead unto sin". John 12:24 tolls us "Except a earn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone, but if it die it bring- eth forth much fruit. That verse carries its own message. Every Christian has a great re- sponsibility in regard to those who are just entering the Christian life. Some are in very tender years; others have even passed middle life, but they all need encouraging. Beverly Baxter in speaking to- Can- ada last week, told of bow farmers in England had lighted bonfires in their orchards to try to keep the frost from the trees in order that the 'buds might not be killed. Christians must take this as an ex- ample of how they should care for those who are young in. Christian life. It is easy to put a stumbling block in their way but often a word will keep them from temptation and make the right road easier. As the life in bulb is early freed And springs to light once more, The earnest• Christians soul doth seek, Ever and on to upward soar. Sometimes we feel it hard to speak A. word for our Saviour who -died, In order that we through Eternity, Might safely with Him abide. Such wonderful love He freely gave, That we might, as gladly give. To those who are seeking that joy- fulpeace, The only true way to live. Let us'remember the life in the bulb And as the dawning Iight we see In others, who start on the Chris- tian road, May our guide to help, be thee. PEG. is Two pens, Two Shirts and a Theory The following is quoted from a re- cent issue of the Christian Science Monitor, and was submitted by the American Metal Market, New York: "Once upon a time there was a farmer who sold two hens and with the proceeds bought two shirts. So the, farmer" had two shirts and the city man had two hens. Then along came a theorist, who told the farmer he should get more _Money for his hens by making them. scarcer. He must id11 one of his hensand bury it, are at least he must not raise so many and then he would get more income. "The theorist then went to the city and told the working man that he must work fewer hours so be could get more money. That, of course, caused all manufactured pro- ducts to cost more. So after a while the farmer bought only one hen for market and he got as much money for his one hen as he had previously got for two. He felt fine. He then went to buy some shirts, but found that shirts• also had doubled in 'price, so he gat only one shirt• Then he didn't ' feel so fine. Now the termer has one shirt and the city 'man has ORE hen where, before the days of modern theorizing, the `farmer could have had two shirts and' the city man take on an increased value' when you two hens. This theory is called "The give good service, More Abundant Life."' THIS MODEST CORNER IS DEDICATED TO THE POETS Here They Will Sing You Their Songs—Sometimes Gay, Sometimes Sad—But.

Every day and every hour We see evidence of His power.

Just a little deed of kind cheer, Just a word of hope and cheer, ' Just a smile; They cost so little, But they make it heaven here! Thus it was I found my mission Knew what work God meant for me And I. cried, "Forgive my blindness; Now, at last, thank God, I see!" Andmy heart that had been selfish In its longing to be great, Saw broad fields of labor waiting For me just outside the gate. I have sought to scatter sunshine In a dark and cheerless place, Loving words have given courage- ber drear, Brighten many a weary face.

Next spring up comes a hickory tree, This lesson it teaching me That if the squirrel can be so smart Why man has failed to, do his part.
