The value of serving vegetables
freely during the spring months can
not be overestimated. Although they
contain large per cent of water they
are rich in ash and mineral matter,
and for this reason they are vital
part of the average person diet
Iron is particularly needed for the
blood during this time Of the year
and the iron contained in vegetables
and fruits is more easily digested
than the iron from meat.
Among the vegetables and fruits
especially rich in iron content are ::
spinach, lettuce, dandelion greens,
string beans, cabbage, Strawberries,
radishcs, tomatoes, squash, carrots,
peas, onions and raisins.
An old French provcrb says: Spin
ach is the broom Of the stomach.
Spinach may be prepared in the fol
lowing wavs: Tender leaves as salad !;

And the Sundays wood" in the kitchen too,

Though bald as you gray
Out by the barn-ot, and down the lane,
We patter along in the dust again.
As light as the tips of the drops Of the rain,

We cross the PASTURE and through the wood
Where the old gray snag Of the poplar stood,
And the buzzard raised" in the clearing sky,
And loled and crcled, as went by, ,'..

And then in the dust Of the road again; :#& y
And the teams we met, and the countrymen; s.
And the ong highway, with sunshine spread III !"

And the cherry and ounce ',preserves' she made

With cinnamon in ,em and all things rare-

And the old spring house in the cool green gloom
Of the willow trees and the cooler room
Where the swinging and the crooks were kept
Where the cream in golden languor slept
While the waters gurgled and laughed and wept-
Out to Old Aunt Mary's.
And as many time have you and T.
Barefoot boys in the days gone by
Knelt, and in tremulous ecstasies
Dipped lips into sweets like these
