no you know that six medium

from a bakers loaf of bread?'
That is according to reports by
food chemists Dates are also
rich in iron and other minerals
and are a worthwhile addition to
the diet of growing children.
Aside from these virtues dates
lend themselves TO many delicious
concoctions and have an impor-
tant place in winter cookery.
There are several salads that
use dates effectively Chopped ap-
pie, nut and date salad with
French dressing is excellent for
dinner on a bed of shredded cab
bage. Fine, large dates stuffed
with a mixture of cream cheese
and nuts and served with tart
whipped cream dressing make a
delicious, hearty salad for bridge

with crisp salted crackers or tiny
hot buttered rolls. Another salad

tributes a gem Of performance. one

every move for good is misinterpreted
