Dried Fruits Are
Useful In Winter

During the Winter months, when q
variety of fresh fruits is hard to obtain.
and expensive, remember that the dried
fruits offer good means of preparing
and serving economical and nourishing
desserts, salads and breakfast dishes.
Modern methods of drying have made
these favorful and wholesome products.
Dates, raisins, prunes. peaches, april
cots and figs are the best known Of the
dried fruits. Raisins. dates and prunes,
cooked very slowly until tender, need no
added sugar and make delicious sauces
for rice puddings, for blanc mango or
bread puddings. They may also be
used as q plain fruit couyse ~. .llaed "A

In the morning after breakfast she

peoples in destruction, the opening and

FLUE EPIDEMIC
 NOW SWEEPING
 WHOLE COUNTRY
Is Milder Than In 1918, But Emergency Demand for Vicks Breaks All Records.

The influenza epidemic which broke out late in October on the Pacific coast has spread with startling rapid ity until now practically every sec tion of the country is affected.
 Although the flu itself is not so se- rious as ia 1918. authorities stress the importance of taking every pos- sible nrecaution for fear of the com plcaticns which invade the weakened system after a flu attack.
 They urge especially prompt treat ment of every cold as colds lower the body resistance and make it easier for germs of flu or pneumonia to get a foothold
 That the public is needing this warning is indicated by the phenom- enal demand for Vicks VapoRub. the famous external treatment which leaped to fame almost overnight dur ing the 1918 epidemic.
 In spite of tripled capacity. the Vicks laboratories are once more operating night and day to meet the emergency, and more than 432, ,0O0 jars are now being produced every 24 hours.
