Asparagus contains large amounts of sulphur, the purifier which tones the system; and sodium, which aids digestion and counteracts acid; also iron, which we need to feed the tissues and give us energy and rosy cheeks.
 It is said by expert cooks that most people spoil asparagus by let ting it stand ill too much water. The ideal way is to steam it in an asparagus cooker-a utensil which holds boiling water in the bottom chamber and the bunch of aspara- gus on a perforated rack above. But good results can be had by cooking it in an ordinary sacce- pan, if you will stand the bunch upright, with the tips above water, cover the pan and allow the steam to cook the tender part of the stalks.
 I have a delicious recipe for sweetbreadS with asparagus :. which is rather stretching the budget point, perhaps, but I want you to have it, anyway, as a SUg- gestion for company luncheon or dinner at the end of a week when you've shopped so well that there's nice little margin left over:
 Sweetbreads With Asparagus SWeetbreads
 1 bunch asparagus l tablespoon butter l tablespoon flour
 cup milk
 Salt, pepper, celery salt
 2 egg yolks
 Melt the butter in saucepan or double boiler, stir in the flour, then add milk gradually. When smooth add the sweetbreads and the asparagus tops. both of which have been previously cooked. Sim mer six or eight minutes. Season. remove from the fire and add the beaten yolks of the eggs. Stir un- til well blended and thickened and serve at once.

 But why hedge ourselves about with restrictions? Spring and as- paragus are as synonymous as spring and rhubarb. Let us econo- mize on meal or two, if need be, and splurge at least once week with asparagus until we have had our fill of it.
 The chief excuse for this veget- able is its power to stimulate lag ging capacities. It is also one of the best of our cleansing veget- ables, since it is about 94 per cent water and is very easily digeSted.

Something Different?
Caviar as a Lenten
 Dish
BY ANTOINE DADONE

America. in the last few years has certainly acquired taste fol that truly regal dish caviac This is perhaps more true of the large cities, particularly New Yorl; and Chicago, where at almost every cocktail party one is served some sort of caviar canape. For nal dinners have small portions of caviar as part of the menu and the hotels keep large supplies on hand.
 Ten tons of caviar may sound like staggering amount - but this is the amount that is imported every year from Russia for only onc hotel know of.
 A taste must be cultivated for caviar and those not fortunate enough to have tried fresh caviar first are likely to be disappointed. Years ago, when caviar was in- ported to this country, it was quite heavily salted and qite black, and of course, most of its fine flavor wGs destroyed. Now, it is refriger- atod at a certain temperature all the way across the ocean and I claim the distinction of being ths originator of this method of shipping it.
 Good caviar should be dark grey and only slightly salted, and it is best when served with egg, onion and sour cream, in Russian fash ion. Here is a recipe for serving on bliny, the Russian pancakes:
 Bliny
 3 eggs
 1-2 teaspoon salt
 2 tablespoons butter
 1-2 cup milk
 1-2 cup flour
 Beat eggs until very light. Add salt and flour mixed, and then the milk, beating all the time. Pour a thin layer of batter into very small greased frying pan about four or five inches in diameter until bot tom is well covered. Fry delicately on both sides. Repeat until all bat ter is used. Let cool.
 Caviar on Bliny
 Put one bliny on plat and cover surface with fresh Russian caviar Sprinkle with chopped white of egg. Sprinkle over the finely chopped raw onion. Sprinkle then with chopped yellow of egg. Cover all this with thick sour cream. Another bliny may be pleaced on top and the other ingredients re- peated. Juice of lemon may be sprinkled over caviar.

Perfect Dessert
 For Spring

Refreshing as spring breeze is Lemon CuStard Whip. This new dessert is sort of glorified floating island. Fluffy and golden, tangy with the flavor of fresh lemon-it'S not only pretty to look at but deli cious to eatl Lemon Custard Whip is perfect for springtime menus, for though it's light it is also very nourishing.

 1 cup water
 1 tsp. gelatin
 l tbsp, cold water
 1 cup irradiated evaporated milk,
 for whipping
 1-3 cup lemon juice.
 tsp. lemon rind
 Beat eggs. Add sugar, salt, cup milk and water. Cook over boiling water until custard coats spoon, about minutes. Stir in the gelatin that has been soaked in the cold water. Chill thoroughly. Whip the chilled milk stiff. Add 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice and whip until very stiff. Fold remaining lemon juice and rind and the whipped milk into the cold custard. Yield: 12 servings.
 Lemon Custard Whip is a splen- did dessert for the younger mem bers of the family particularly, for it is high in fod value. By using ir- radiated evaporated milk it is pos sible to incorporate more than the equivalent of quart of whole milk, so it is especially rich in the bone and tooth building minerals, cal cium and phosphorus, plus the needed vitamin D. Because irradi- ated evaporated milk can be whip ped, desserts like this Lemon Gus tard Whip can be made economical ly-that'S an item of interest to every homemaker!

FAMOUS TEST GROUP
TRIES OUT NEW TIRE
Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory Puts
New Goodrich Product On Trial

More than 100000 miles were trav-
eled by the testing fleet of the B. F.
Goodrich Company in making tests
on the non-skid and wear resistance
of tires before the new Safety Silver
town tire with the ''life-saver" tread
was offered to the motoring public,
declares Mr.. Sheaffer, manager of
the Economy Auto Supply. located at
Milford.
Mr.. Sheaffer also disclosed that
these tests were supervised by
Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory OF
Pittsburgh, Pa, largest independent
testing organization in the country.
which has just released the results
of its Investigations.
These tests were made by Pitts
burgh Testing Laboratory in compe-
tition with tires of the same price,
by five other companies" declares
and also premium priced tires made
Mr.. Sheaffer. "At the conclusion Of
the tests, believed to be the most Sc
we're and exhaustive ever made on a
new tire, Pittsburgh Testing Labora-
tory stated that no other tire, even
those listed up to 20 per cent higher
in price, equalled the new tire in re-
sistance to skid.
"They also stated that the new
tire averaged 10 per cent more nom
skid miles than any other tire in its
own price range.
"A senior engineer and three ju-
nior engineers from Pittsburgh Test
ing Laboratory supervised every de-
tail Of these tests, In order to make
the evidence more conclusive on the
subject than any data yet produced,
special apparatus to accurately de-
termine resistance to skid was de-
