WORK OF MRS. MOORHEAD.
FOR THE CITRUS EXCHANGE

Mrs. Caroline Moorhead leaves Sum
day for Washington, Boston and
other cities in the north in the inter-
est of the Florida Citrus Exchange,
for which she has been successfully
demonstrating Florida citrus fruits in
many cities throughout the country.
The current issue of the Florida
Grower contains several pages telling
of the remarkable success that Mrs.
Moorhead is meeting with and the
following extracts are taken from the
article:
"The Georgia State Fair, recently
closed at Savannah, had as an impor-
tant feature an interesting 'SealsweeF
exhibit both, with a grapefruit DEM
onstration conducted for the exchange
ty Mrs Caroline Moorhead. The both
attracted much attention and the
demonstration received much interest
from the women in attendance.
'Mrs. Moorhead also has been con-
Quoting demonstrations on grapefruit
in connection with an exchange ex-
hibit booth this week at the State Fair
ar Jacksonville, and later will DEM
cnstrateI at the Mid Winter Fair at
Orlando and the South Florida Fair
at Tampa. Among other activities,
she is scheduled to visit large num-
ber of women's cDlIeges and normal
schools where do onestic science is
given particular attention in many
sections of the country. Her demopz
strations and lectures before such
classes have aroused much attention,
and many schools are bidding for her
attendance. In getting across the
message of Sealsweet grapefruit to
such gatherings, Mrs. Moorhead per-
forms doubly valuable service be-
cause most of the women thus being
taught in turn become or already are,
teachers in various forms of school
work, who may pass along to others
the knowledge they thus have gained -
Concerning the exhibits at Savau-
rah, the Savannah News had the fol-
lowing to say:
''In response to a special request

ranged for display table in the din
ing room of the Savannah hotel to-
night. A salad course will be served
complimentary to all visitors. In
struction in the preparation of all
fruit dishes on display will be given
any one interested. The Savannah
hotel invited any one interested in
this display to look over the many
attractive dishes The exhibit of the
EIo, ;da Citrus. Exchange at the fair
grounds has attracted many visitors,
and Mrs. Moorhead, who is in charge
OF the exhibit. has given instructions
in the preparation of the attractive
Gishes of Sealsweet grapefruit on ex-
hibition. Mrs. Moorhead is firm
believer in the use of fruit as health
food, and in the large food value of
fresh fruit"
The Times-Union gave a lengthy
description of the booth in charge of
Mrs Moorhead at the Jacksonville
fair and spoke of it as one of the
most admired booths at the fair. Fol-
lowing is an extract from the Times
Union:
"Ih addition, Mrs. Mocrhead gives
kousekeepers many new secrets and
shows also how the fruits should be
handled and prepared and what i'm
plements to use and how to handle
them. While recently in Savannah in
cre of the large hotels as a guest, she
was asked by the manager if she
would condescend to give some Of her
valuable tips to his chef. To this she
agreed, with the stipulation that the
other big chefs of that city be invited
to a demonstration, which was done
with the result that several hours
" ere most proftably spent and that
now in all of the hotels there citrus
fruits are served as result of this
meeting"
