Watermelons Contain Needed Vitamins

The bureau of home economics Of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture learned these facts by car
rying on series Of studies with wa
termelons of the Tom Watson variety,
feeding them to experimental animals.
About 80 per cent of all commercial
shipments Of watermelons are OF the
Tom Watson variety, and as other red
fleshed varieties are similar in struc-
ture and are similarly handled, it is
believed that the results Of this study
apply to the watermelon crop as a
whole.
Any mother may therefore feel con-
fident in serving watermelon frequent
" during the season, that she is pro-
viding a wholesome addition to the
fruit supply. AS with other tempting
foods, the "eye may be bigger than the
capacity" and some one may indulge
a little too freely at the watermelon
feast; but this might be true of ice
cream or pink lemonade or ''hot dogs"
or many other foods.

Strawberry Ice Box Cake
May Stand Longer

If you are among those who prefer
strawberry short cake to be made with
real cake-not biscuit dough-although
there's much to be said for the other
variety, too-you will like strawberry
ice box cake 1t is composed of much
the same ingredients as strawberry
short cake but has this advantage,
that it improves on standing, whereas
short cake, to be perfect, should be
served promptly after it is made. The
bureau of home economics Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture supplies the following recipe for
strawberry ice box cake:
tbs gelatin tbs. lemon juice
n cup cold water / cup cream,
" cup boiling water whipped
IA cups sugar " tsp. salt
l quart strawber- Sponge cake
ries, crushed
Soak the gelatin in the cold water
for five minutes. Add the boiling wa
ter and the sugar and stir until the
gelatin and sugar are dissolved. Mash
the berries, add the lemon juice, and
combine with the gelatin mixture, and
chill. When partially set fold in the
whipped cream to which the salt has
been added. Chill again, then spread
between layers of sponge cake and
keep in a refrigerator several hours or
overnight before serving.

Sandman Story for the Bedtime Hour

Usually man who takes around a
performing bear only has one bear
with him, but this man had two, and
this happened quite long while ago.
He would sing songs in queer
sort of voice and in queer sort OF
language but at the end he would al
ways say:
please, ladies and gentlemen, boys
and girls, give pennies, nickels, dimes
and quarters for the work of my fine
bears.
"Fifty cents are nice, too"
The bears had always performed
many tricks when the man said this.
One day a little girl said:
"How about ten cents?"
But the man didn't know what ten
cents meant, he had only heard them
called dimes, and in the country from
which he came they had quite diff
ferent name for money.
At any rate he stayed in this town
for quite a few days and made
good deal of money for his bears did
very fine tricks and the people en-
joyed seeing them.
Now one of the bears was quite
happy walking around the streets and
doing his tricks every day.
His master was kind and he gave
him plenty of food. And he got better
food than ever on the days he did
his tricks best.
OF course you can understand that,
for on such days the man got more
money and he liked to give his bears
nice things to eat.
But the other bear did not like do
ing tricks. He was tired of perform
ing.
He was becoming old and he felt it
was great strain for him.
He particularly disliked having to
climb pole, and that was the trick
that always got the most money and
the greatest amount of praise.
He wouldn't have minded climbing

Did anyone ever need an excuse for
eating watermelons? Probably not.
But once in while a mother may be
concerned lest this tempting and re-

children. Now science comes to the

juicy, fne-favored watermelons make
a real contribution to the days food

Laboratory tests have shown that
watermelons are good source of two
important viatmins, A and G, and that
they contain detachable amounts of

: Careful L Laundering Will
: Keep Blankets Fluffy

Fluffy, soft wool blankets can re
main fluffy and soft indefinitely if
Numbered carefully, says the New
York state college of home econo-
mics at Cornell university.
Wash wool blankets in lively suds
made from a concentrated solution of
pure mild soap. The blanket should
be gently squeezed with hands or, If
washing machine is used, left in that
about seven minutes with the washer
at lowest speed. Wet wool should be
handled gently. Feed out the blanket,
bit by bit, into a pan, looking care
fully to see that no spots remain.
Squeeze out the water lightly by hand,
leaving plenty of water in the blanket.
Hang the blanket in the shade and
shake it frequently to fluff it while
it is drying. A breezy, sunny day is
best for drying woods.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Remove stains from fabrics when
the stains are new.
Cook vegetables quickly in an open
kettle to keep them green.
If the pots and pans and kettles are
soaked during the meal it lightens the
work of dishwashing afterwards.
Parents should not have family COWS

not spelling child's appetite for food.
Clothes closets should be we'll

how she solved the problem: Not

blankets and bedding, bought a gar
ment bag, folded the articles to fit the
bag, and hung the bag in the clothes

blankets or comforts, and stored this

and laundry supplies must be provided
in the kitchen. When this is neces-
sary it is advisable to group the laun.
dry equipment in such way that food
preparation and laundry work will not
interfere with each other.
The picture shows a farm kitchen
in Massachusetts where the tubs have
been set next to the sink, for con.
venience in placing water and drain
pipes, and also because of the good
light from the window and the door
opening on the back entry. The tubs
are provided with a cover which can
be used as workable Such a cover
may be hinged, but if there are pro-
jecting articles on the wall behind it
such as the coffee mill and kitchen
utensils shown in the illustration, it
is probably better to lift it off entirely
when the tubs are required. A piece
of linoleum has been fitted to the
cover in this kitchen, for easier care
and imperviousness to water and
grease.
1t would have been better, If pos
sible, to put the faucets for the tubs
inside instead Of above them, not only
to get them out of the way but to pre-
vent any annoyance from dripping,
suggests the bureau of home econom-
les of the United States Department
of Agriculture. This bureau has made
study Of both kitchen and laundry
equipment and is interested in placing
both to eliminate unnecessary labor
and shorten the time spent in these
work rooms by the homemaker.
