Enriched Flour and Bread
Improve National Diet

At the recent nutrition confer
ence in Washington endorsement
of the enrichment of flour and
bread, pending the further develop
ment in milling of grains so as to
retain their full nutritive value, was
given recommendation as "an eco
nomical way to improve American
dietaries almost universally without
interfering with deeply ingrained
food habits
1t Is a paradox that the milling
industry spent a large amount of
money and much time and research
to produce the fine white flour
which has been so much in demand
in this country. At the time there
was no knowledge that the discard
ed portions of the grain contained
nutrients of great Importance to
good health.
One of the most difficult things
in the world is to persuade people
to change their food habits. Only
a small proportion estimated at
about 2 per cent Of our population,
prefers whole wheat bread to white
bread. For this reason the Ma
tional Research Council enlisted
the milling industry of the country
in plan to enrich -four and bread
with certain of the nutrients which
had been lost.
Among these are vitamin B1 or
thiamine. NICOTINE acid which is
part of the vitamin B complex and

For Family Salads

Just at the season when we most

generous-sized summer avocados are
succeeding the last OF the winter
fruit. The winter avocado has
truer pear form. The summer fruit
is more apt to be round or oval,
with a knotted or rough skin, and
| in some cases purplish color. Most
Of it is Hospitality sized and makes
an economical buy for family salads,
since there's only one seed and much
more meat surrounding it.
Notice the difference in the sum-
mer Jacket of the fruit-it's much
more barkline, thick and tropical
| looking. This heavier skin doesn't
strip from the meat like the winter
pear, though it removes easily
enough when the fruit is properly
soft and ready for eating. And the
same luscious salad-fruit is assured
underneath the heavier jacket as
in the more familiar pear-shaped
winter type.
The generous size of the fruit has

Fruits Now in Season for Delicious Des:
Water Cress
Not Only
Pretty
Contains Valuable
Food Elements in
Delicious Form

If you have never picked water
cress from a swiftly running brook
and nibbled it then and there, you
have missed a bitter-sweet expert
ence. There is nothing like the
pungent flavor of these tender green
leaves.
When we were children We we're
told that we might pluck water cress
only from running streams, which
were traditionally supposed to con-
tain pure water. Today, we know
that even this is not an insurance
of safety.
Now we have water cress all year
round in our markets, as four dis
tinct varieties are cultivated in
ponds where the water supply is
guaranteed. Most of the water cress
farms are to be found in West Vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania and Alabama
The summer variety with its crisp
leaves is now being rushed to mar
ket, and goes to every State east
of Denver.
Water cress is considered an in
dispensible garnish, but it is not
only proper, but agreeable and ad-
visable to eat 1t with many dishes
with which it is served for the
sake of appearance. You know that
every vegetable which is bright
green in color advertises a large
supply of vitamins. The minerals
are there, too.
Water creSS makes delicious
salad with French dressing or with
sour cream and chives and may be
"wilted' as is lettuce. There is
nothing better for sandwiches, espe-
cially in summer time. And did
you ever serve bowl of water cress
with salt to each, English style.

Just recently a white -four which
retains naturally almost all of the

been developed and is now avail
able in bread made by one of our

bread so largely used in low cost

supply those elements which are
almost bound to be lacking when
money for food is limited This will
do much to aid our campaign to-
