TOMATO JUICE NOW
RECOMMENDED FOR BABIES

One of the easiest ways to ps sure
of getting sufficient amounts OF vi
tamihe C., the scurvy-preventing sub
stance, is to eat tomatoes rather reg
ularly, perhaps every day, or to make
it a practice to put tomato Juice in
some of the dishes That we are pre-
pairing for the family, says the Unit
ed States Department of Agricul-
ture.
a In many homes 1t is comparative
ly easy matter to can fairly large
quantities of tomatoes, and to have
these on hand for use VIXEN fresh to-
matoes are unattainable or expensive.
The remarkable part about the to-
mato with relation to this particular
vitamine is that 1t still seems to be
efficient in preventing scurvy after
1t has been heated or dried, which is
not true of all foods which possess it
in the raw state. This is probably
due to the fact that the tomato con-
tains such large amounts of vitamine
C that part of it survives the heating
process.
So valuable is the tomato as a
source of this mysterious and impor-
tant ingredient of the diet, that phys
icians now recommend it for babies
fed on pasteurized milk, just as they
have for some time prescribed orange
juice.
If tomato juice is to be given'to
child it should be carefully strained
in order to eliminate any seed One
half tablespoon of fresh tomato juice
or one tablespoon of canned tomato
Juice, daily, is a safe allowance.

HOW TO MAKE BOILED STARCH
THAT WON'T STICK 90 IRONS

Clothes are starched to stfffen
them. to give them the gloss of new
material. and to make them keep
clean longer. The following is d
good general recipe for making cook
ed starch. recommended by the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture:
l to tablespoons starch. accord
ing to stiffness desired.
l cup y pint cold water.
y teaspoon borax.
Y teaspoon paraffin or white fat.
quart of boiling water.
Make a paste of the starch and the
cold water; add the borax. the par
affin or fat. and the boiling water.
Boil the mixture, stirring II thorough
ly. until Il is clear, or for about 20
minutes. Remove any scum that
forms and strain the starch while
hot.
The borax may be omitted, but Il
helps whiten the clothes and II. as
well as the paraffin or the fat, makes
the starch smoother in ironing Alum
Is sometimes. added (from 1 teaspoon
to l tablespoon TO / quart OF water)
and is useful in making the starch
penetrate the fiber. 1t apparently
thins the paste but does not decrease
its stiffening property.
1t is impossible to give definite di-
rections for amounts OF cooked starch
to be used. because all depends up
on the fabric and the degree of stiff
ness desired. However. II the 4 ta-
blespoons of starch have been used
to the quart Of water, cup of this
may be diluted with about 3 quarts
of water for starching such articles
as petticoats and Bingham dresses.
Garments should be starched wrong
side out and left so until they are
sprinkled. For white clothes the
starch should be as hot as the hands
can stand, because it penetrates bet
ter, and thin enough not to leave a
glazed surface when ironed
II many clothes are to be starch
ed 1t is wise to keep a part Of the
cooked starch hot and add IL to the
used starch as the latter becomes
too cool and thin. The garments
that are to be stiffest should be
starched rrst. After thorough
squeezing and dipping the surplus
starch should be wrung out and the
garments either rubbed or patted.
Garments wrung very dry before
starching will be sitter than wetter
ones. Stiff bosomed shirts should
not be starched too far down nor
pleated bosoms too stiff, else they will
,hunch up in wear. look clumsy, and
feel uncomfortable. II one is starch
ed too far down the lower part may
be moistened enough to render 1t
pliable.,
A solution of borax water (about
teaspoon or borax to 1 quart of
water) may be used for stiffening
very thin fabrics, such as laces, voiles
organizes, and dimities. 1t gives
body and crispness, similar to the
original dressing.
