Precious Vitamins Lost
With Improper Cooking
IOod-by, Vitamins!

Goou-Dy, VltamlnS!
Down the drain they 60, carry
ing away all their precious health
and beauty elements-A for resist
ance, 81 for pep, c for strong teeth,
D for body tone, G for digestion.
Often people whose menus really
have enough vitamins lose them in
cooking. They put too much water
on vegetables, cook them too long
and then throw the liquids away.
Or they may add soda (enemy of
vitamins) to keep the green color,
which can be retained if the food
is cooked in an open kettle.
To get all your vitamins, use only
little water in cooking and then
save the water for soups, sauces
and gravieS. Don't stir air into
foods while cooking OF put fruits or
vegetables through a sieve while
hot.
Excellent sources of Vitamin A
are sweet potatoes, egg yolks, liver,
green and yellow vegetables and
fruits
Vitamin 81 is plentiful in milk,
whole wheat and beans. Vitamin c
in tomatoes and the cabbage fam
lily, Vitamin D in fish-liver oils.

Now, all the time Mr.. Redtail the
Hawk had been sitting in a tree
some distance away, sitting so still
that he looked like a part OF the
tree itself. That is why Danny
hadn't seen him. But Mr.. Redtail
saw Danny the instant he started
across the open place, for Mr.. Red
tails eyes are very keen and he can
see a great distance With salts
fed chuckle, he spread his broad
wings and started after Danny.
Just about half way to the safety
of the long grass on the other side
Danny gave a hurried look behind
him and his heart seemed to jump
right into his mouth, for there was
Mr.. Redtail, with his great, cruel
claws already set to seize him. Dan
ny gave a frightened squeak, for
he thought that surely this time he
would be caught. But he didn't
mean to give up without trying to
escape. Three jumps ahead OF him
was a queer-looking thing. He didn I
know what it was, but if there was
a hole in it he might yet fool Mr..
Redtail.
One Jump Would he be able to
reach it? Two jumps! There was a
hole in it! Three jumps! With an
other frightened squeak, Danny
dived into the opening just in time.
And what do you think he was in?
Why, an old tomato can Farmer
Browns Boy had once used to carry
bait in when he went fishing at the
Smiling Pool! He had dropped it
there on his way home.
Mr.. Redtail screamed with rage
and disappointment as he struck the
old can with his great claws. He
had been sure, so very sure OF
Danny Meadow Mouse this time! He
tried to pick the can up, but he
couldn't get hold of it. 1t just rolled
away from him every time, try as
he would Finally, in disgust, he
gave up and flew back TO the tree
from which he had first seen Danny.
Of course, Danny had been terri
bly, frightened when the can rolled
and by the noise the claws of Mr..
Redtail made when they struck his
queer hiding place. But he wisely
decided that the best thing he could
do was to stay there for a while.
And it is very fortunate that he
did so, as he was very soon to find
out.

Churchill Gets New Post,
Warden of Cinque Ports

LONDON.-Prime Minister Wins
ton Churchill has been appointed
lord warden of the cinque ports, but
will not be installed or take up resi-
dence at Walmer castle until after
the war. He succeeds the late earl
of Wilmington.
The post, an honorary one, carries
no salary, and no uniform is provid-
ed. 1t might we'll be regarded as
a liability, as the holder must pay
rates on the official residence. Tn,
original cinque ports are Hastings,
Sandwich, Dover, Romney and
Hythe. In the old days they were
entrusted with the defense of Brit
aims shores and the protection of
passage to the continent. After
the Norman conquest, Winchelsea
and Rye were added but retained
the title of 1.-The two ancient towns. -
