It's al little early to believe that a tired feeling one may have is due to a Spring Slump but how about our winter meals, are they showing a slump due to the lack of variety IT the vegetables serv- ed? Vegetable eating is important any day of the year. Vegetable cookery is necessary each day When garden produce is plentiful, those fresh vegetables cooked quickly and seasoned lightly are yum-yum; but now wintered- stored vegetables may be hum drum so new ideas may be inn portant to you right now. The Ex- tension Service has for your help, free bulletins, More Vegetables, PIeaseD and Green Vegetables for Good Eating.
 Cabbage is one green vegetable that doesn't have to be canned or frozen to keep through the winter. It's always good, economical source of vitamin c, the vitamin we are likely to be short on thro- ugh the fruit-shy months of win ter.
 For best eating, cabbage can be classy if-cabbage is cooked: just until tender -10-12 minutes for wedges; 5 to ' minutes for shredded cabbage
 in a small amount of boiling water
 Cut cabbage just before cooking so that it isn't exposed to air, since air destroys vitamin c. A l lb. head gives 31a cups raw shredded cabbage, about 24a cups cooked. Serves 4. Add cabbage to stew, pot roast or corned beef after the meat is tender.
