Cheap Fruit Desserts for Winter
Let US turn once more to the low
.sgSt weekly market list suggested
Sy the Bureau of Home Economics
Vt the U. S. Department Of Agricul-
uJge. 1t is list of foods for an "ade-
,gGate diet at minimum COST" or bal
.2nced supplies for Z days meals. 1t
lnciudes milk and cheese; bread and
nereals; vegetables and fruits; fats;
s1gar; meats, fish and eggs. Let's
'Gs{k Of fruits this time. That leads,
drst off, to apples, which are more or
Tess in season all the year, but espec-
silly in the fall and winter. In most
places, too, apples are cheap. Dried
ruits, however, are usually the cheap
est fruits of all-especially raisins,
Frunes, peaches and apricots, besides
Eried apples. In this food budget for
E family of five there are IL pounds
II dried fruit and about 81 pounds
VI other fruit, fresh or canned. Draw
ing from the cheapest fruits of their
kind, what can you do with these
quantities for one weeks meals? The
answer will depend upon what the
family likes, but let US try them on
prunes. The best "buy" in prunes,
shat is, the most prune meat for the

which also cost less per pound than
me larger ones. Half a pound, then,
say 80 to 40 prunes, would make 6
Or 8 pruncs for each member of the
family if stewed for dessert. Of course
there are other ways Of using prunes
wiich some people find more interest

Christmas stamps-or "SealS", as we
cali them! Everybody buying some.
'i'ostiug so little that everybody could
ielp. The Danish government saw it
Is he did. So did the Danish people.
&)f course the idea spread. And since
tlea uillions, billions, even trillions Of
the little stickers have been sold thru
higt rhs world for the benefit of hospit-
ais, clinics, dispensaries and Sanatoria
for those suffering from tuberculosis,

were sick. or handicapped in some

la reminding Marylanders Of the
xAance they have to help in the fight
against tuberculosis, through the pur-
chase Of the Christmas seals, DR.. r.
n, Riley, Director of the State De-
9agtment of Health said, practically
sveyy activity in public health is
partnership concern. This is particu-
larry true of the organized warfare
against tuberculosis. 1t is not one
naH sight. 1t is every mans fight.
Everyone of US has a responsibility
EDWARDS it, and can share in it.
~[n tuberculosis, as in other dis
eases that are spread from person
81 person, what we are striving for
rs to PREVENT the disease, or, if it
tas already gotten a foothold, to
t2teck it while it is in it's early stages.
Tairty years ago, one death in every
seven in Maryland was due to tuber-
sr4Gosis. Less than half as many
sseatirs occur now from tuberculosis, in
proportion to population, than at that
flne. Now, about one death in every
fourteen is caused by that disease. So
you see we are making progress, but
Ee still have a hard fight ahead of US.
The Christmas seals cost only
penny apiece. Every penny spent for
Them helps in the battle we are fight
ing together.
