How often shall a housekeeper so
to market? Many times recently have
l been greeted with this question.
Generally speaking, l should say
twice a week is sufficient if there is
any reasonable arrangement made in
the home for keeping the vegetables
fresh. Architects will some time rec
ognize the Importance of cold air cup
boards in the average home, then
larger quantities may be purchased at
one time, saving a few cents on each
article bought, besides time and ener-
gy for the shopper.
All vegetables, however. keep bet
ter if selected in the season when
each is at its best. Nature has pro-
vided us with some vegetables which
mature late in the fall and keep well
all during the winter months, provid-
ing, as | have just said, there is a
cool place 10 keep them.
Cabbage is one of these, and vege-
table which, for some foolish reason.
has been considered common.

never is, If the housekeeper has the
necessary food knowledge she should

should be eaten by the adult raw with
simple dressing once or twice week.
Ii is not quite as easily digested when
cooked. There are several varieties
of cabbage and all are prepared in
the same manner. Cut the quarters,
sliced or chopped, and freshen in very
cold water, or with a piece of ice
in it
How to Cook Cabbage.
Drain and cook, uncovered. in boil

utes, depending upon the age of tho
cabbage. The addition of little soda
reduces the odor while cooking, al
though if the kettle is uncovered while
boiling there will be little odor and
the cabbage white as snow. Drain,
