Middle-Age
Should Not
Be Lonesome
BY RUTH MILLETT

"Middle-aged woman wants tc
feel needed by someone. Woula
gladly take care of small children
while mother shops, teach a bride
to cook, help make over clothes
for a large family. No pay will
be expected"
Did you ever see and ad like
that in a paper? No, of course not.
Yet how often have you heard
middle-aged women, their children
grown, ask for sympathy with the
old line, Nobody needs me any
more?" Plenty of times.
Yet they go on year after year
without trying to find anyone VINO
needs them.
The person who wants a job
doesn't sit and wall, mo employer
needs me-" He goes out and finds
an employer who does.
If these women would use the
same get-up-and-get, they could
find plenty of people who need
their help. And they don't have te
advertise either.
A little thought about persons
they see daily would show lots oil
ways they could be useful.
A New York school teacher sol
we'd the Nobody needs me" prob,
lem by continually, through the
years, keeping some bright, am.
bilious but poor, boy or girl ir
college.
She Solved The Problem
She lived alone and she hadn't q
family, but she mad the gump.
ton to see that there were people
who needed her-more people thar
she could help in a lifetime.
Any woman who really wants tt
could find just as good an answer
to the Nobody wants me" prob
lem.
The trouble is, most women dom
want to be needed by anyone bu'
their own children.

Correct Cooking Methods Reduce
Vitamin Losses

The vitamins found in vegetables
are easily destroyed if care is not
taken to preserve them. The best way
to prevent these losses is to cook vege-
tables, in as short time as possible,
in as small amount of liquid as practi-
cal, and use the cooking water when
possible. Vitamin c losses are usual
" the most serious because they are
easily destroyed at a high tempera-
ture in the presence of air. The other
vitamins are destroyed under these
and other conditions-especially when
much liquid is used in cooking and then
drained into the sink.
For many vegetables, small layer
of water at the bottom of the pan
will be enough to form steam to cook
them. Then, when the cooking is done,
there will be about enough cooking
water to furnish liquid for butter
sauce or to be combined with other
fats and seasonings and served with
the vegetable. Extra vegetable water
can be put into soups and gravies.
Another point is that vitamins are
more easily destroyed in an alkaline
solution than in an acid one. That is
the objection to use Of soda to preserve
the color in green vegetables.
Heat vegetables quickly to remove
air in their tissues. Avoid any I'M
necessary contact of air with the vege
table during cooking. Stirring air
into hot food during cooking or STEW
ing increases vitamin destruction by
"oxidation".
Another vitamin saving practice is
to use vegetables as soon as possible
after buying them or bringing them
in from the garden. If not used they
should be kept at low temperature
Quick frozen vegetables are best
cooked without preliminary thawing
This protects their vitamin content
They chould be taken out of the pack
age and dropped Immediately into
boiling water. There is no evidence
that quick freezing with storage after
wards at low temperatures has any
destructive effect on vitam content.
