FOOD
FACTS
By ANN PAGE

Director of A. & r. Bureau OF Home
Economics
During the winter months. the
wise housekeeper will always keep
on hand some kind OF dried fruit,
such AS prunes. apricots, figs. or
peaches with dish of one cf
these III the refrigerator, you viii
always be sure of fruit for break-
fast or for lunch. These fruits also
are convenient to use as a flavor
for a quick dessert. such as prure
whip which is so tasty prepared.
All died fruits should be carefully
washed and then covered not too
generously with water Soaking q
few hours will shorten the time Of
cooking. but you will have just as
good results IL you cock the fruit
at once, IL you keep 1T closely COW
cred and use d low fire. And here
Is another important polnt-be sure
to keep the fruit covered while Il
cooks. Fruit in this way will be
plump and will have Il thick syrup
even In the case of the California
prune where no sugar is necessary.
This method of slow cooking ard
cooling seems to develop the natural
sugar in the fruit Oregon prunes
usually need little sugar. Figs
usually need no sugar, but apricots
and usually peaches will be the
better for small additional
sweetening.
DO Not Soak Too Long
Just another word about figs DO
mot soak them more than two Of
three hours. A long soaking seems
to take flavor from the pulp. Either
the California figs which come in
packages particularly for cooking or
the italian figs on a string which
are available throughout the winter,
are satisfactory for cooking. Re
member that the latter need an ex-
ceedingly thorough cleansing while
the native product is usually clean.
Another very good way to pre-
pare dried fruits is to bake them in
covered casserole. If you are
using the oven for other purposes.
1t is a good time to make it do
double duty.
Fruit whip is a combination Of
beaten egg whites and fruit pulp
which is particularly good when
made with one of the dried fruits.
Perhaps apricots or prunes are the
most popular fiavors for this des.
sert.
To Make Prune Whip
Rub one cup OF cooked prunes
through a sieve, add sugar to taste
and heat enough to dissolve the
sugar. Beat the whites of three
eggs. add the pulp and few grains
of salt.
Fruit souff1e Is this same mix
ture baked in a mold which is set
in hot water in a moderate oven
(375 degrees F., for about three.
quarters Of an hour. This may also
be served with custard or whip.
ped cream.
Another very quick dessert is
made like the fruit whip substitute
ing one cup of cream for the egg
whites. The cream should be
beaten stiff before the fruit pulp is
folded into 1t. Sometimes chopped
nuts are added to this mixture.
Just one more recipe-one of my
favorites-for fig tapioca pudding
Cook three-fourths Of a cup of
granlated tapioca, one-half teaspoon
of salt with three and one-half cups
boiling water. When the tapioca
Is clear, add one cup of chopped
figs and one-half cup of chopped
nuts. Cook five minutes, chill and
serve with cream.

Speaker Urges Mothers Not

theirs Asked Not to Shout.

In view of the "utter futility"
of the task, mothers were urged
not to attempt to separate their young
sons from dirt by H. w. Gibson of
Boston, Mass, in an address Saturday
night at the annual Father and Son
banquet of the Young Mems Christian
/. Association.
Mr.. Gibson, who has devoted most
of his life to the study of boys
problems. has been making a tour of
the country delivering inspirational
talks before gatherings of boys. His
address last night climaxed his trip.
Two of the greatest factors in the
development of a normal boy are a
wise and tolerant mother and a father
with a sense of humor, Mr.. Gibson
said.
Attempt Held Harmful.
''Boys and dirt have a natural afin-
ity for each other" he declared. ut is
impossible to separate them, and even
to attempt to do so works harm to the
boy. The healthiest and happiest boy
is the one who does not have to be for
ever on guard against tracking dirt
into the house or leaving his bedroom
in disorder. The wise mother will give

its until the poisons from decaying
waste held too long in the system
have begun to affect the child's
health.
Watch your child and at the first
sign of constipation, give him little
California Fig Syrup. Children love
its rich, fruity taste and it quickly
drives away those distressing all
ments, such as headaches, bad breath,
coated tongue, biliousness, feverish-
ness, fretfulness,' etc. It gives them a
hearty appetite, regulates their stom-
ach and bowels and gives tone and
strength to these organs so they con-
tinue to act normally, of their own
accord. For over fifty years, lead
ing physicians have prescribed it for
half-sick, bilious, constipated chill
dren. More than million bottles
used year shows how mothers de-
pend on it.
Mrs. G. g. Wilcox, 3S551a Wolff
st., Denver, Colorado, says: "My son,
Jackie, is prize winner for health,
now, but we had a lot of trouble with
him before we found his trouble was
constipation and began giving him
California Fig Syrup. 1t fixed him
up quick, gave him a good appetite,
made him sleep fine and he's been
gaining in weight right along since
the first few days, taking it."
To avoid inferior limitations of
California Fig Syrup, always look for
the word california" on the carton.

OLD FOLKS SAY
DR.. CALDWELL
WAS RIGHT

The basis of treating sickness has not
changed since DR.. Caldwell left Medical
College in 1875, nor since he placed on
the market the laxative prescription he
had used in his practice.
he treated constipation, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositions
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These are
still the basis of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, a combination of SIENNA and
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa-
ton, the safer for the child and for you.
And as you can get results in mild
and safe way by using DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs?
A bottle will last several months, and
all can use it. It is pleasant to the
taste, gentle in action, and free from
narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal.
All drug stores have the generous bottles,
