Mac.roni Chinese

Macaroni and other pastes are
considered typical and peculiarly
Italian food, and Italy is probably
entitled to the credit for her early
appreciation of these foods. How
ever. history credits their first use
among the Chinese and their Euro
pean introduction to the Germans
The Italians are said to have
learned the art of making them
from the latter. History shows
that by the time of the Fourteenth
century Italy was the only Euro
pean nation enjoying macaroni.

The creator of the matchless, mellow

He was a gentleman of the Old South

tried them all-the "heady" cofEees of

USE OF FRUIT
IN ICE CREAM
AID, TO HEALTH
Jessup and Antrim Firms
Officials Point Out
Digestive Values.

From health standpoint, too lit
tie attention is given to the value of
fruit ice creams, according to officials
of the Jessup & Antrim Ice Cream
Co., 1918 North Illinois street. :
The average child, if given a
preference. will select fruit cream
largely perhaps, because of the
color, but many really from taste.
Many mothers hesitate, to give in
to this preference, imagining some
ill effects to be derived. This is
highly erroneous.
The value of vitamines A and B
in dairy products generally is ac-
knowledged, and these are present in
ice cream in a condensed form
easy to assinnilate. Vitamin G is
not found in large amounts in dairy
products, but is abundant in fruits.
Most fruit ice cream contains this
vitamin, necessary to the growth of
children.
In addition, citric and tartaric
acids are present, together with
valuable mineral salts. These salts
in digestion counteract the acid resi- {.
dues of meat or cereal diet.
The present fruits that are gener-
ally used in ice cream manufacture
include Strawberries, pineapple,
cherries, bananas, peaches, grapes
oranges and raspberries.
Recent experiments show that
prunes, figs, persimmons, and raisins
all give delicious flavor to ice cream
when used in the proper amounts.

A large number of business and
industrial buildings, for which per-

of new construction for the week

compilation by the Indianapolis
Real Estate Board.
Permits for new construction
totaled $404,300. OF this amount,
$102,300 was for twenty-five new
residences.
Industrial permits issued during
the week included one for a $4,000
building to be constructed for the
United States corrugated Box CON-
pany, 1915 Martindale avenue.
Another large permit authorized the
erection of $4,000 power plant at
the city hospital. The Standard Oil
Company of Indiana obtained per-
mitS for filing stations at Thirty
