WHY NOT USE CABBAGE?

r EST any one become too enthus-
lastic over the suCculent cabbage
lets To begin with quote the die
tettc authority who made the possibly
exaggerated statement-anert the fact
that cabbages were anything but a con
centrated form OF food that we human
animals would have to Craze and eat
all day as does the COW or the horse
when Il lives on grass # We expected
10 get enough nourishment 10 sustain
life simply from cabbages. We have
been especially urged 10 make use of
such vegetables as Cabbages when they
are plentiful and there is a good cab
bage crop in most places and we must
not let them go TO waste-but no one
IN authority suggests that they are go
ing 10 take the place Of meat or wheat
or any other manstay Of diet But
they do do what other succulent, bulky
vegetables do: they have very whole
some effect on our digestive systems,
they lend variety and flavor and be-
cause Of their large water content they
provide the bulk that IS SO necessary in
making Us feel satisfied after we have
eaten. Then Of course they do offer
some amount Of nourishment. and vari-
Gus vegetable salts and other ingredi-
ents tA&t II would take q scientist all

Myth Of ind1gestibie Cabbage.
The notion that cabbages are ind!-
gesttbIe is one that Is not based on his
toric tradition I'd was a saying In clas-
sic times that thd reason why SO many
Romans lived In health without a doc
tor was because they ate so many cab
bages. The Egyptians likewise appre-
ctated the wholesome nature or cab
bages and actually built affairs TO their
honor and there was a prevalent no
ion among the ancients that cabbages

What the Fall
SHOPPERS
SEEK

Merchants and salespeople who keep
their eyes open say that women are
shopping round quite a good deal
this autumn. Not that women don't
usually shop around good deal. Be
'ore war began and gave lot of leis
ured women something really worth
while TO do they used to haunt the
stores more than they do now. They
weren't really shopping most Of the
time. however; they were simply kill
ing time In an atmosphere of smart
clothes and accessories that appealed
% them. But now when tho observation
is made that women are shopping
round" one means that they are actu-
ally going about with critical eye and
analytical mind seeking first in this
store and then in that the suits or coats
9r dresses .or hats or accessories that
hey want for the autumn Perhaps
never before in many decades have
women BUYERS been so critical The
>raze for getting ones moneys worth
has increased with the rise I'm prices
md with the many many demands that
oonle on all sides for such funds as
women can save from their spending
money.
Clothes Must, First. Be Smart.
Now. when woman shops this au-
turn. what she still wants first and
foremost is something smart You
might think that the necessity for get
ting something warm and useful at a
minimum cost IN these days OF war ne
cessity would make women forget for
a season this necessity for being
smartly dressed. But bless vour heart
French women In the face Of air raids,
have kept up as insistent demand for
sunartness in dress and there is little
reason 10 feet that American women
will lose that trait Of their feniuiuity
ANY sooner. So the producer of WON
ems aparel-if any such there were
who thought that Just because of the
war he could flood the market With
style1ess. shapeless hut substantial
garments was very much mistaken
Added to style the war shopper really
does want something that shall he ser

would have been content with in the

thing that the merchant and sales
