Green Vegetables for Iron

Fruits and vegetables supply
varying amounts of practically ev-
cry mineral element the body re-
quires.
They do not compare with milk
as source of calcium, but sub
stantial amounts of this bone-and-
BODYBUILDING substance are to. be
found in leaf and stem vegetables,
carrots, oranges, figs and straw
berries. Moreover, investigations
have demonstrated that calcium
from vegetables is well utilized by
adults.
Green vegetables, in general,
are outstanding as a source Of
iron. And it has been further es-
tablished that their iron is better
absorbed and becomes more COM
pletely available for nutrition than
iron from some other sources.
Some fruits are also valued for
their iron content, the more nota-
BILE including oranges; tomatoes,
which are botanically fruit,
though they are classed as vege-
table; strawberries, blackberries,
raspberries and huckleberries !;
and dried figs, dates and prunes.

A Few Extra Winks.-If you are
loath to get up in the mornings,
you would be wise to prepare for
breakfast just as many things as
possible the night before.
Sift the Flour. Flour is one of
the easiest ingredients in baking
to mismeasure. For best results
always sift flour and measure by
spoonfuls into a cup, being care
full not to shake the filed cup.

foods may spoil on the grocer's
shelves; and if it is dangerous to
eat foods that have stood in the
can for a few minutes after be-
ing opened.
To discount the value of modern
canned foods is to display a lack
of knowledge as to how these foods
are harvested, prepared and
packed. And the failure to use
them may result in depriving your
family of essential minerals and
vitamins.
There are available in cans to-
day, 46 varieties of vegetables, 33
kinds Of fruit, and 10 different
juices, besides soups, numerous
specialties and several kinds Of
fish. Every one of these presents
healthful and nutritious food in a
form that is often superior to the
same foods cooked at home. That
is partly because of the methods
employed and partly because
canned foods are processed at the
peak of their flavor and freshness.
A Superla+ive Canned Food
An outstanding example is
canned salmon which has been
called by one of Americas lead
ing food experts, "the cheapest
and most nutritious animal food
that can be had for children over
SIX"
Very little fresh salmon finds its
way into our markets and even
then it may be far from "fresh"
after considerable journey
packed in ice. On the other hand,
salmon canneries have been estab-
lished in close proximity to the
waters from which salmon are
taken, so that only a few hours
elapse between the time the fish

We usually think Of milk and
other dairy products as our most
important sources of vitamin A.
But recently, it has been deter
mined that the thin green leaves
of vegetables are also outstanding
in this respect. Weight for weight,
when fresh, escarole is more than
five times as rich as butter. Young
green peas and green string beans
are also good source of this vita
min as are tomatoes, carrots, and
sweet potatoes.

EaIlacies Disproved

Canned foods will keep indefi-
nitely without spoilage, as long as
nothing occurs to make the can
leak. 1t is not necessary to re-
move canned food from the con-
tainer as soon as the tin is opened,
though many homemakers often
do so because the food presents a
more attractive appearance in a
dish or bowl. A kissing sound
when opening does not mean that
the contents of a can are spoiled,
but rather that there was vac
uum in the can, which the air is
rushing in to fill.
Thus canned fruits and vegeta-
bles are not only Gas good as"
fresh ones, but are often superior
i'm food values. Every homemaker
should see to it that she uses both
literally in the diet of every MEM
Der Of her family, as a means Of
providing liberal amounts Of min
erals and vitamins.

Sources of vi+amin c

Vitamin C, which is essential for
maintaining the health of teeth
and gums and for preventing the
degeneration of muscle fibers
generally, is obtained almost en-
tirely from fruits and vegetables.
The principal sources of this vita
min are the citrus fruits; raw and
canned tomatoes and canned to-
mato juice; strawberries; raw
carrots, onions and yellow tur-
nips.
AS this vitamin is easily de-
stroyed by heat in the presence
of oxygen, the amount present
in any fruit or vegetable is great
ly reduced by the average home
cooking methods. On the other
hand, this and other vitamins, as
well as minerals, are usually well
retained in commercially canned
fruits and vegetables.

readers who question the merits
of canned foods. They ask wheth-

News Of the hour Is makeup to
wear with black. And the girl who,
although well equipped with purple
and red dresses and cosmetics which
harmonize with them, knows per-
fectly well that she1l be back to
black before very long Will be In
terested IN this news.
One should, OF course, appreci-
ate the fact that black Cor navy
throws the natural coloring into
relief. That It must therefore stand
on It's own and be alive looking with
no outside help-slch as it might
get from the lights reelected from
q red or purple dress.
Once you have realized that you
look either just plain dull or quite
sophisticatedly glanlOrOus whenever
you wear black, you'll stop applying
whatever makeup happens to be
handy those mornings when you
reach for q black dress instead Of
one of the reddish numbers you
bought earlier In the season. You'll
wear rouge and hpstick which make
your lips and cheeks glow attrac-
lively instead Of seeming dull or
grayish or, worse yet, sallow. And
your powder win dramatic and en-
phasize the natural highlights Of
your skin tones.
The new makeup to wear with
black is divided into three groups.
The first is for the fair-skinned
(regardless of the shade Of hair).
Light rosy powder, blue-gray eye
shadow, scarlet rouge and lipstick
with subtle blue rndertones are adj
vocated.
For the dark skin, rich, dark red
rouge and lipstick, also with un-
obtrusive blue-purple lndertones),
deep rosy powder and fuchsia eye
shadow are right.
One whose skin Is medium will
pick rouge and lpstick in shade
of red which is q happy medium be-
tween the tones for the light and
dark complexioned. Powder win be
light rosy beige, eyeshadow blue
green.
