BY MRS. NJ. 4. WILSON

ALI Rinhla RrHeficr.

All RiohIs Re5erved.
THE November markets show an
abundance of the late harvests;
turnips, spinach, kale, carrots, beets,
caulifiowcr and string beans are
plentiful and should be used in place
of the canned vegetables.
Many housewives hesitate to uti-
lizc these hearty vegetables, because
of the time required for their prep
aration and cooking. Yet, If they
arc used frequently, they will
materially help to reduce the high
cost of living. A can Of peas
averages from twenty to twenty
five cents and will serve a family
of four or five only once, yet
quarter peck of turnips, beets or car
rots may be made to supply the
vegetable part of three meals, and
will cost approximately from fifteen
to twenty cents per quarter peck.
When planning to have celery, use
the coarse outer branches for
braised celery, taking care to dry
plenty of both white and green
leaves for favoring soups, sauces
and dressings.
