Due to seasonal conditions (one being the loss, of the C Vitamin in potatoes now so long stored), the most helpful foods are: Ci-trus fruits, oven-oanned tomatoes, potatoes (cook- ed in the sltine), raw cabbage and turfaips, black currants in any form, and 'other !liana contribute a little. Serve slaw, crisp turnip sticks and grated turnips in Mixed salads. Cook vegetables in as little water as pos- sible—as short a time as will make them tender—and serve at once; standing steals their Vitamin 0— don't expose tailana to air until on the family's plates. That means -Over- ing with a tea towel if they have to stand. 2. Serve bake& potatoes three times a week is a good slogan. • * * * THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. C. M. asks: "Recipe, for 'Car- rot Marmalade."

This season's -buying by the Board was 284 carloads to January 25th. ; Last year, same period, 129 cars and only _121 in 1924. Most of this increase now is from the Canadian West, which once lagged behind Eastern Canada in surplus eggs. Western provinces supplied 92 carloads more than at this time a year ago.
