Christmas is not nearly as old
as the month in which it falls. De-
cember was the last month in that
old ten-month calendar of ancient
Rome. The name comes from the
Latin word, "decem. meaning
ten" In the beginning the month
was known as Decembris, but dur
'ng the many centuries that fol-
lowed the name changed SO that il
now comes to us in its present
form. The old Saxons, recognizing
December as the beginning of win
ter, called il Winter Monath (Winter
month";. They also called it He
ligh-Monath (holy month"; because
of the fact that Christmas fell on
one Of it's days.-Pathfnder Maya

that latest member of the citrus
family 10 become cheaper and
still more popular? The first
shipments Of this midget, golden
orange come TO market in late
November, and extend through
March, with its peak season right
now, in January.
W/HEN you buy, select those

most solid, just as you do with
oranges. The skin of tangerines.
of course, is normally loose and
puffy, making them easy 20 peel,

name tangerine may have been
connected with the port. Tangiers,
where this fruit was originally
shipped from the East, or that
they were named for the Tang,
or Golden age of China where
they are called Mandarin oranges.
Tangerines are delicious TO eat
right out of hand, are perfect
between meals, and hence
grand, wholesome snack for chill
dren; perfect to add 10 the in
valid's tray; for adding TO regular
fruit salads, or for use as a break

The hostess may push down
the skin as petals, and fill the
center with some other fruit.
such as chopped cranberries, for
a novel individual salad-dessert.
Don't fail to include them in the
lunch box, too. where their easy
eating makes them favorites.
Mothers should know, too, that
the little tangerine is richer in
calcium than any other citrus
fruit! That's one very good rea-
son why tangerines are good for
children. who love them anyway.
For, it may be recalled, that while
milk is probably the best dietary
source OF calcium, the addition
Of citrus fruits or citrus juices
to the diet apparently facilitates
the assimilation of calcium.
Daily calcium requirements are
large; and If citrus fruits, added

OF calcium metabolsm, tn is
method deserves attention. Many
experiments on school children
bear out this view. as do the
laboratory feeding experiments of

noted scientists: with the evil
dence that citrus fruits, added to
an otherwise adequate diet, in
crease growth and help assimi-
late calcium obtained from other
foods, thus maintaining balance
necessary for strong bones, sound
teeth and general good health
OF course the therapeutic, or
health, value Of citrus fruits is
traditional. These health-restor-
ing qualities are due TO their
richness in vitamins, their con-
tent Of citric acid, citrates and
easily assimilable sugars.
According TO the Council on
Foods, American Medical Asso-
ciation: Oranges are excellent
sources Of Vitamins G, B1 and
G., and a fair source of A; grape
fruit are excellent sources of G
and G and a fair source of B1.
Tangerines are excellent sources
of c, and also contain Vitamin A
and the carotenes."
Moreover grapefruit have been
used with great success in many
experiments in connection with
the treatment and prevention Of
the common cold, influenza and
other respiratory diseases.

oranges, grapefruit and tanger-
ines make their first appeal 10
every housewife as a patriotic
buy, with benefit to her own
pocketbook.
As every shopper is aware, a
VICTORY SPECIAL" is a food
in seasonal abundance, and one
whose purchase at the time sug-
gested will prevent waste and
assure the most effective use Of
our wartime food supplies.
Thus, at a season when canned
fruits are becoming more scarce
and more expensive, this citrus
special" offers unusual values in
fresh, peak-season, winter fruit.
How do you buy oranges and
grapefruit in order TO select the
best values? Buy by the feel, or
the weight! Hold the fruit in
your hand, and weigh it in the
palm, or on the scale when your
dealer is not using it for other
merchandise. Then, choose the
heavy fruit, for they are the ones
most full of juice.
Again, buy any size, all sizes,
selecting the size which is most
plentiful in your market at the
time: small grapefruit are best
for squeezing or roaming as juice;
medium ones are satisfactory for
use in fruit cups, salads, etc; the
big ones are most desirable for
halves, for a first course, or for
broiling Don't make the error
that the bronzed looking skin Of
some grapefruit means anything
it's the juice content and favor
that count, not the skin.
How do you buy tangerines,

fruit as an appetizer, or who find
that they do not have the time
for the careful preparation re-
quired to serve it in this way.
Then, try roaming IT, and using
the juice as a cocktail drink, as
a punch, as a pickup when COM
bined with beaten white Of egg,
with honey. or in some of the
many delicious fruit-noggs pos
sible with all the citrus fruits.
Here's a drink which will give
much resistance 20 colds or
sniffies: beat egg yolk and add
! cup strained grapefruit juice
slowly. while beating constantly.
Add 2 or more teaspoons of honey
and dash Of salt Beat egg white
stiff and add 20 grapefruit mix
ture. Pour into tall glass, dust
with nutmeg, and serve at once.
Other suggestions for citrus
drinks are:
% Combine cup grapefruit
juice with l cup orange juice
serves 4.
(2) Combine y cup prune juice
with IL cups grapefruit juice
serves 4
(3) Combine cups tomato
juice with IL cups grapefruit
juice, teaspoon sugar or honey,
and dash of salt Mix well.
. Serves 4.
f4) Simmer Y cup grapefruit
Juice with 6 whole cloves, stick
Of cinnamon, and teaspoon
honey, for 5 minutes. Add liz
cups grapefruit juice, and almost
bring 20 boil Serve hot. Makes 4.
Remembering that grapefruit
juice is a mild acid, and that there
are many, many occasions in the
kitchen, or on the table, when
such an acid is used, we can sub
stitute this fresh, wholesome
juice as the acid ingredient when
making French dressing, or any
salad dressing.
For example: blend butter or
margarine with grapefruit juice
as a seasoning for hot vegetables,
particularly the vegetables such
as cabbage, kale, beets, Brussels
sprouts, etc; use it for thinning
bought salad dressings TO be used
for sandwich spreads or 70
moisten sandwich filings; use it
as a basting liquor for poultry,
ham and other smoked meats;
add a small proportion to the
water in which prunes or april
cots are being stewed. and it will
give them a new flavor.
Many readers have written in
requesting exact instructions on
just how TO broil grapefruit
that exotic way of serving this
tropical fruit-as dramatic din
ner prelude. Here's the how:
Detroit evening times., 1943-01-10

To Broil Grapefruit: Select
large, heavy fruit, and cut in
halves crosswise. Remove center
pith and seeds with sharp knife
or scissors. Loosen sections by
cutting around each section with
sharp knife, around membrane or
skin. Sprinkle each half with l
tablespoon sugar or honey, and
dust lightly with cinnamon, mace,
or nutmeg. Dot with tablespoon
butter.
Place grapefruit on broiler rack
about 4 inches below flame Of
burner. Broil 10 10 10 minutes,
or until grapefruit is slightly
Drowned and heated through.
Serve Immediately. Or it may be
baked in a hot oven (400 F. for
Is minutes.

Another class of persons 70
whom the citrus fruits are all
important is the aged. Mainte-
nance Of health and vigor as one
grows old depends in consider
able degree on wholly adequate
diet.
A liberal intake of protective
foods in which citrus is included
wards off and decreases the de-
generative ailments of old age.
Often if the home-maker is away,
or too busy, the old person in the
family will not care to make reg
ular meals for herself, but will
depend on toast and tea diets
over long periods.

MASHED

I simply take the left over
mashed potatoes, add egg, and
cut cream cheese in very small
pieces. mix this all together very
well, either shape into a patty or
drop by the spoon, into a hot

a golden brown. 1t is tasty and

FIXER

To fix chairs or furniture that
have loose rungs. first scrape off
all the old, dry glue. Then fold
. piece Of cheesecloth over the
end Of the loose rung and apply
coat Of liquid glue to the cloth.
Now drive the rlng back into
place, and trim off the surplus
cloth with a sharp knife. Set
aside 10 dry. The number Of
layers of cloth TO be used depends
on the looseness Of the rIng. The
glue soaks through the cloth, and
when dry. makes a tight, perma-
nent repair job.
