SCIENCE ASKS
VEGETABLE USE

Nearly every day a new food
combination or recipe comes to
your attention, either passed on
to you by some friend, discussed
at q party or discovered in a
magazine or in your daily news
paper.
A few years ago people thought
that meat and potato had to be
the main part Of a meal and other
vegetables and green's were not
considered important,
Vegetables Are Popular
Then science stepped in and be-
gan to talk about the high nu-
tritive value of vegetables and
the place they should have in the
diet.
Along came the war with its
"meatleSs" days, and people be-
gan to find substitutes for the
prescribed meat, and to learn
more how to use vegetables.
Grow more vegetables" was a
war slogan that meant "eat more
vegetables" Nutritionists supplied
tables showing their food value
and told how to prepare them so
they would be most nourishing
Vegetable dinners had gained a
foothold. And then they leaped
ahead by their own worth. Today
it is unusual. to pick up a bill of
fare that does not mention a
special vegetable dinner"
Vitamin Sources
Vegetables as a class are made
up largely of water, but they also
contain considerable quantities Of
celluloise or indigeStible fiber,
and all of them are considered
excellent sources of the vitamines
and minerals that are so indis-
pensable to body growth and de-
velopment.
Some vegetables, notably peas,
beans and lentilS, are high in pro-
tein content, while others, such
as potatoes, beets and corn, are
higher in carbohydrate or starch
and sugar.

Have you an invalid in your
home for whom you have been
setting trays and preparing food
for some time now? Do things
grow uninteresting to them?
Nothing seems to taste quite
right? I realize it is trying for
the one who prepares the food,
but likeYise it is also tiresome
for the one who must remain
in bed.
Here is an idea, possibly you've
tried it. You, no doubt, own
various colored dishes or glass
ware so that you can vary the
color scheme of your tray.
You'd be surprised what a diff
ference it makes to the patient
to have a colorful surprise Of
that sort.
This bed tray or lap tray is
much more comfortable to eat
from than the flat one without
legs. And note the attractive
set of dishes for the tray
wouldn't breakfast taste lots bet.
ter served on these? Even when
one is we'll such dishes appeal,
so think what they could do for
one who has been i'll a long time.

PGrbOiI Peppers
Before Baking

Always parboil green peppers
before stuffing them to bake. BY
parboiling it means to drop
them into boiling water and al
low them to cook about three
minutes.
This extracts the bitter flavor
from the peppers. but only partly
cooks them so that they do not
lose their shape. Three minutes
is sufficient time. Drop them
into cold water to keep them
until you are ready to stuff them.

TREATMENT Of
DUTCH OVENS
SUGGESTED
Grease the UtenSiI PIentifuIIy
Before Placing the Meat, Is
Experts Advice

Judging from the numerous
requests for treatment of Dutch
ovens that have come into this
department during the last few
weeks, there must be a number
OF housewives who are using these
ovens and are interested in their
care and treatment.
The first thing to do is to
properly season the iron so that
1t will be rust-proof. 1t takes a
long time to season an iron Dutch
oven so that it is rust-proof To
begin with, it is used only once,
or possibly twice week.
Then it is used with the heavy
iron cover, which retains all the
steam and moisture Of the cook
ing. The mineral salts and acids
rise in the vapor and settle on the
inside of the cover and sides of
the kettle, and it is bound to draw
rust unless it is pretty thoroughly
seasoned to start with.
Well Creased
If it is we'll creased before put
ting meat in to cook, the grease
fills the pores of the iron and
acts as a sort of insulation against
the action of the steam and moiS-
ture of cooking.
Then there is another point to
keep in mind, and that is do not
allow meat to stand and cool off
In the Dutch oven after it is we'll
done. If it is necessary to do so,
take off the iron cover and slip
a crockery plate or granite pie
plate down inside the kettle so
it rests on the meat. This will
keep the meat hot and moist, and
prevent the utensil from ruSting,
to amount to anything.
When Dutch Oven RustS
If your iron Dutch oven shows
signs of rustineSS, the first thing
is to Scour it to remove all traces
of rust. If badly ruSted a piece
of emery cloth may be used. You
can get this at any hardware or
paint store.
Wash the oven clean, wipe dry,
and dry on the hot stove. Grease
the inside and cover with any un-
salted fat. Heat the grease into
the pores of the iron with a slow
fire. The baking oven is good
place, as the utensil Is heated
more uniformly.
Let stand for several hours and
rub the grease all around inside
the utensil every half hour. Then
wipe the grease out clean with soft
paper, then with a soft old rag.
Grease again with lard or oil and
heat the grease into the pores of
the iron. Let it get quite hot. but
not hot enough to Scorch the
grease.
Wipe the Kettle Clean
After heating grease into the
kettle several times wipe the kettle
out clean to remove every trace of
grease. slip the kettle into your
baking oven and bake it with a
hot fire for three-quarterS of an
hour. This "SetS" the seasoning in

SPINACH GOOD
FOR YOUNG

When a three-year-old asks
for a second serving Of spinach,
you may be sure he is enjoying
it. And this is not such an un-
usual occurrence, for if the vege-
table if properly prepared, almost
any ch1Sl will ask for more.
If spinach is to retain it's at
tractive green color and not be-
come soggy in appearance, over.
cooking must be avoided, without
the addition of water, for only
a few minutes.
Cooked Spinach
Five to seven minutes is all
that is required for three pounds
of spinach. After it is cooked, it
is cut so as to be manageable,
and butter and salt are added.
The carrot is another vegetable
that is especially valuable for
children, because it is rich in
vitamin A and in minerals. To
preserve these food factors, the
carrots may be served raw, after
being cut into narrow strips
lengthwise of the carrot.
Nursery Foods
These have proved especially
popular with the nursery school
children. Celery, too, r1ay be
cut into strips in the same way.
In all cooking Of vegetables,
the fewer the cut surfaces the
less the loss of minerals and
yitamins. The way in which
vegetables are cut also makes a
difference. For instance, carrots
cut lengthwise will lose less than
carrots cut in thin, round slices.

Benzine VIII Remove
SDOts of Grease

The pleasure Of reading a Dor.
rowed book is sometimes offset by
a minor accident that may befall
it. A spot of grease, for ex-
ample. dropped accidentally upon
the pages is most unfortunate
unless one knows how to remove
it.
Sponge the spots first with
benzine, then place the page be-
tween two blotters and press
with a hot iron. What grease is
not removed with the benzine
will come out with the heat and
blotterS.
