A LTHOUGH the city housewife
"A at this season cannot go
forth into the fields and pick
greens" as she may de when she
sojourns in the country in summer.
il Is her business, nevertheless. to
see that green vegetables appear
on her winter table several times
week.
Often in her very praiseworthy
desire to get rs much food value as
possible for the money she expends,
she does not purchase green vege-
tables because they are quite lack
ing in real nourishment. Yet,
green vegetables contain certain
mineral salts valuable to the human
system. And the housewife who
. docs not serve them frequently dur
ing the winter months finds her
family buying high cost spring tom
les when winter begins to end.
Green vegetables, moreover, add
bulk to the food. and thereby assist
in the digestion of the more con-
centrated foods like eggs or meat.
Green vegetables in the diet tend to
safeguard one against constipation.
Every city market has the rather
high-priccd. hothouse vegetables.
but II is only the minority Of our
housewives who can afford to IN
duIge in these luXuries. But cab
bage is within the reach OF any
thrifty housewife, and this lends
itself to a variety of very attractive
dishes.
For instance. a cupful OF shredded
or chopped raw cabbage to which
n little onion juice seasoning and
sufflfient mayonnaisc moisten
has been added m1kes an attractive
dish. A tablespoon of chopped
canned pimento. or a similar qusn

Vegetables and fruits should be
kept in a dry, well-ventilated place
away from excessive moisture in a
temperature Of about so degrees.
When foods or vegetables are kept

wash fruits and vegetables before
