MANY housewives regard fruit
- and the early fresh vegetables
as luxury. that may be dispensed
with in favor of the easily prepared
canned product. This is big mis-
take. Keep the canned products for
an emergency and buy abundantly of
the fresh fruits and vegetables from
fnow on until late in the fall.
While they are somewhat trouble
some to prepare and are higher in
propoftionate cost to the canned
product, they will give untold divi-
dends in health. Now is the season
to get right down close to mother
nature and regale the family with an
abundant diet of natures own prod
fucts fresh from the field.
Now, owing to many insects and
parasites that prey on the growing
fruits and vegetables, it becomes
necessary for the farmer to spray
these foods with various poisonous
lchemicals to protect them The tough
outer skin of the growing. produce
( forms an air-tight overCoat that pre-
vents this spray from getting into
the fruits, while it thoroughly coats
the outside, and for this reason 1t
is most important to thoroughly
wash all fruits and vegetables be-
fore using them. If you make 1T
plan to thoroughly cleanse these
foods as soon as they come from the
market there will be no danger OF
thoughtless member or the chill
dren of the family eating them.
& You know that many cases of seri-
Gus intestinal disturbances can be
traced to this cause. Do not pur-
chase fruits and vegetables or other
foods that are displayed on the
streets or in stores that do not pro-
tect the produce from dust and the
dangerous fly. The fly is a pest
and a common carrier of contagious
and other diseases, and it soon
finds splendid culture in the germs
and bacteria, in the dust and filth
that blows unrestricted over the un-
protected foods that are displayed
without sanitary protection.
Mrs. Housewife, this is vitally i'm
portant, and you should insist on
your dealer giving you the neces-
sary health protection, Overripe or
spoiled fruit and vegetables are
\ dangerous. No matter how cheap,
do. not purchase them. Insist upon
sound and wholesome products.
aCucumbers, new carrots, beets,
southern tomatoes, green peas,
string beans, eggplant, green and
red peppers are abundant, as they
are now coming in from our southern
sfarms.

Plan the Sunday dinner and sup
ger to care for an extra guest o

easily repaid by entertaining with
Sunday dinner and supper. Don
worry the least bit because you hav
mo meat. Your guest will tell yo
that he is so tired of meat that h
just breads mealtime. These menu
