giving more milk than she used
to. A liberal feeding of con-
centrates and a better quality
Of hay. apparently. are response
BILE for the increased supplies.
One Of the good things about
milk is that you can take it as
you like it. If you prefer it quick
and easy. just fill the glass and
drink deep. Or you can enjoy
dairy food as butter on your
bread, as cheese, as non-fat dry
milk solids or evaporated milk
in q host Of nourishing dishes.
No other one food furnishes
so much for so little. Just look
at the lineup: Calcium, the B
vitamin called riboflavin. and
such additional nutrients as
phosphorus, vitamin A, some D,
thiamin. fat, sugar and excel
lent protein for body tissue
building and repair. AS Ear as
calcium is concerned, nutrition
lists remind us that it's hard to
get enough Of this mineral, so
important for good bones and
teeth, without a regular supply
of milk. Senior citizens, as we'll
as the youngsters, need their
daily quota of dairy foods.

Imports
Browsing around a small shop
in Georgetown the other day we
ran across a number Of imported
food items nice for adding q cos
mopolitan air to the hors
d'oeuvre tray. From Spain come
baby clans In olive oil; wee
cocktail sausages and smoked
mussels from Holland; sharp and
pungent cheeses from the Scan
dinavian countries; and a choice
Of at least a dozen different va
rieties of olives. Some in oil,
some in dill. others with garlic,
and some in just plain brine but
colossal in size. For more sub
stantial fare. there were those
delicious boneless canned hams
from Holland, and vine leaves
from the East stuffed with rice.
onion, dill. parsley, pine nuts and
seasoned with a medley of spices.
If you're the proud owner of a
salt mill, here is one Of the few
places in town where we have
been able to locate salt crystals.
And for the curry addicts, a
number Of East Indian curry
powders and special chutneys:
One chutney in particular is a
great favorite with folks who
have lived in the Far East. It
contains mangoes, mixed citrus
peel, citron, apricots, chillies,
raisins, currants, vinegar and
the usual spices. AS special IA
vors for the young fry, there
were some sweet little animal
prof1les made of Dutch milk choc-
olate. These are only a few OF
the items we had time to in
vestigate, you'll discover many
more plus gourmet items from
our own shores.

you're baking potatoes. tuck a
few extra ones in the oven to go
