 Olive Tablets

To have a clear, pink skin, bright eyes, no pimples, a feeling of buoyaney like childhood days, you must keep your body free from poisonous wastes. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets.(a yege- table compound mixed with olive oiD act on the liver and bowels like calomel yet have no dangerous after effect. Take one nightly and note results.
 They start the bile and overcome constipation. That's why millions of boxes are sold annually. 10c and 25c.

The Easy Comradeship of ''New

There Is nothing monotonous
about vitamines. Each little vita
mine has habits Of its own. Glitter
ing generalities are their abhor-
renee. And furthermore the same
food varies noS only with age and
the treatment it has received, but
with its production-vegetables with
the soil and animal food with the
feeding Of the animal. Butterfat,
the great purveyor Of growth-pro-
noting vitamines, varies in this re-
gard with the feeding Of the COW,
on standing, and on pasteurization.
The humble cabbage eaten raw,
carrots, fresh milk and yeast are
all notable sources Of these "protec-
tive foods" Our scientists are hot
on the trail Of the vitamine, but the
end Is not yet, not apparently for a
long time yet. All this appears
from the work Of Marguerite Davis
of the Home Economics Laboratory

set forth in the May number of the

The Latest Gossip
Among the Vitamines

EVERY month we learn q few
more disconcerting facts about
the vitamine. For example: A fresh
young carrot has over three times
as much antiscorbutic vitamine as a
fresh but old carrot. Both the age
and the method Of cooking food
may have much effect on this valu-
able food item.
Dried milks keep their vitamine
value and may be used for children
If orange juice is fed. Condensed
milk, on the other hand, supplies
very little antiscorbutic.
Potatoes may or may not guard
against scurvy, according to how
they are cooked and how much Is
eaten. 1t Is thumbs down" for the
boiled potato, especially with the
skin off.
Too high temperatures and too
long cooking are death to the vita
mine that may, however, survive
cooking under less strenuous condi-
tions. For example, of four pigeons
on the same ration Of corn and bar
ley and peas, the two whose food was

teeen pounds pressure for 2.5 hours

Roasted and Boiled

Ihe majority OF cooks boil their
corn too long and too violently, from
eight to twelve minutes at a gentle
boil being the correct way. The
time must be counted from the mo-
ment that the water reboils again,
after the corn has been put in. A
better flavor is given to the corn
when the cobs are covered, while
cooking, with the green inner husks,
and the gas flame should be care
fully regulated so that the corn will
not be hardened by violent boiling.
Roast corn is great delicacy, and
the nearest approach in the home
kitchen to this method. Of cooking is
to strip back the husks, leaving them
on the ear; then remove the inner
silk, saturate the husks with water
and tie them back in place around
the ears. Lay>in large baking pan
and bake about twenty-five minutes
IN quick oven.
