Vegetables are classifield into two] distinct groups, as green vegetables” composed of stems and leaves, andl‘ starchy vegetables, consisting of roots, and tubers, such as white and sweet potatoes, turnips, carrots, beets, rad-l lshes, parsnips and onions. Vegetablesl; are also classified into the carbohy- drate group. They contain starch, su- gar, cellulose and mineral salts. l Peas, beans and lentils are classed as elegumes, because they contain valuable protein, which may take the place of meat. Green vegetables are valuable for their salts and acids. and also for the cellulose, which is very necessary to the body, as it furnishes malterial‘for bulk, diluting the highly concentrated foods. The starch is inclosed within the' tiny cellulose wall, which, when.cook-1 ed, softens, permitting the grams of starch to expand, and therefqre be easier to digest. All vegetables contain a large per- centage of water, and with the excep- tion of the legumes and corn little protein and fat. ' ’ Classification of Vegetables Beets are valuable for their carbo- hydrates, which is in the form of suâ€" gar. Carrots, turnips and parsnips contain large amounts of cellulose, and are difficult to digest. Onions are rich in an aromatic oil which contains a large amount of sulphur. Th’e onion is .also valuable for its diuretic Quali« ties. Radishes contain large amounts of cellulose, and are very valuable for bulk. Asnaragus is easy to digest, and is of diuretic nature. Cauliflower, cabâ€" bage and brussels sprouts are of the same family. Cucumber: /contain mineral 'Salts and cellulose. _Splnach has well known aperient qualities. Endive, celery, lettuce, romaine, corn salad and cress and chickery are easily digested and are cooling, also purify- ing the blood stream. Potatoes are rich in starch and mineral salts. Tomatoes are of a diuretic nature and are especially valuable for their flav- or and the variety that they furnish to the menu. They contain various min. eral salts, and are easily digested. ta} Apple butter that contains large amounts of sugar is liable to ferment. Use in tarts, pies and cakes. Spread it on bread and save the butter. Pear Marmalade.â€"â€"â€"Use four pounds of pears, peeled and cored and then cut into slices. Place in a preserv- ing kettle with one pint of cold water. Cook very slowly until the pears are soft, adding the following spices tied in a bag: one tablespoonful of allspice, two tablespoonfuls of cinnamon, one tablespoonful of cloves, one teaspoon- ful 0f mace, Remove the spice bag when the pears are soft. Now add two and one-quarter pounds of sugar and the juice of two lemons. Cook slowly until thick.

Wilted vegetables may be restored by placing them in cold wa- ter. All stale or decayed vegetables should be discarded, as they contain bacteria and molds that may Cause trouble. Be particular. Thoroughly wash and rinse the vegetables to remove all sand and dirt. A small brush should be kept for this purpose, scrubbing them quickly removes all dirt, saving bOth your hands and your time. Cooking Place all vegetables in boiling water to cook, and keep the water boiling gently until the vegetables are tender. They should then be taken at once from the water, seasoned and placed in hot dishes. 1 I Boiling potatoes in the skins and eeling them afterward, then rolling them in melted butter and parsley, gives old potatoes the appearance of new ones. Boil the potatoes for ten minutes, then grease the skin and bake After draining the water from boiled‘ potatoes, cover them with a napkin orI towel. This absorbs the water and makes the potato mealy. Overcooking or too rapid boiling spoils the color, shape and appearance as well as the flavor. Do not cover green vegetables while cooking. Spinâ€" ach, beet; tops and squash should be steamed or cooked in a small amount of water. Timetable for Cooking Potatoes. From 20 to 30 minutes, according to size. Tufnifis.

In the same year, in England, a mother gave birth to a baby in Febru- ary, and another in April. The quesâ€" tion was discussed as to whether she was entitled to double maternity beneâ€" fit, or whether the two births should be classed as twin births. She got the double benefit. Puzzling Questions of Nationality Which Sometimes Crop Up. Four years ago there was consider- able excitement on board a passenger- ship from England as it approached the shores of Australia. It had be- come known that a baby was to be born on board, and betting was indulg- ed in as to whether the event would be delayed long enough to take place in Waters that would make the baby “Australian,” or whether it would be born on the ‘high seas”‘and become a “native” of ‘Stepney, as is the rule in such cases. It was born a few sec- onds after the line had been crossed, and was adjudged entitled to the five- pound bonus awarded for babies born in the Commonwealth. | = There are moral advantages, too, connected with the Patriotic Fund, that are worth knowing. The visitors 'and inspectors, in making their usual lofficial rounds, are able to observe wrong social conditions, and by call- ing attention to them, 3bring about im- mediate improvement. For instance, they have been able to insist that Ithere should be a certain standard of living asa result of the libeml pay- ments, and also there have been many cases in which mothers have been warned that doubtful conduct on their part would lead to the stopping of payments. All this has had an uplifting influ- ence on the people concerned, and has indirectly, been of great advantage to Here is another baby problem. Tw0 days before Queen Victoria came to the throne a child was born in Han- over, then under the sovereignty of William IV. of England. The child’s forebears had all lived in Hanover under the four Georges of England. It was brought to England when a few months old. If living now, would it be considered wholly British. or to be a German alien? When brushing stair carpets have a basin of warm water handy and dip the brush into it occasionally.

Since Bon Opto has created such a sensation throughout the United States and Canada, I welcomed the opportunity to test it.

Many new oc- cppations are now opened to her. which, before the war, she was deemed unfitted to fill. And truth to tell she has risen to the opportunity, and new shares many business responsibilities in former times confined to men. But. as women are subject to ,more fre- quent fluctuations of healthflhan men. many will be handicapped early, it they regard their healthfiequirements too lightly. The nervous strain, long hours and prolonged~mental or physical fatigue thin the blood and weaken the nerves. Such conditions as women are now called upon to undergo can only be en- dured by a full-blooded constitution. This is as true for men as for women, only weaker women suffer soonest. The woman worker. in any line. re- quires her blood replenished frequent- ly. She needs new, rich blood to keep her health under the trying conditions of business life, and to fortify her system against the effects of overwork. This applies also to the woman in the home, who. perhaps, has more worries and anxieties than usual. So let all girls and women take heed and renew their blood promptly at the first ap- proach of pallor, lack oi appetite, head- ache and backache. This can be best and most effectively accomplished by taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills which intake new. rich blood and 'thus help lwomankind so perfectly. No woman ; need fear failure of health if they take ithese pills occasionally to keep them well, or give them a. fair trial if they find themselves rundown. You can get Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 5‘0 cents/a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams’ Medi- cine Co., Brockvllle, Ont. Notwithstanding what the old text- books say, it now appears that 2. vol- cano is hottest on its surface. This is the conclusion drawn by a scientist who has made extensive investigations in craters in Hawaii and has obtained samples of gases and lava before they reached the air. Laboratory studies of these samples make it appear prob- able that much of the heat required to keep an open lava basin in fluid con- dition is supplied by the chemical ac- tion of the gases. From these inves- tigations the scientist concludes the temperature at the surfacé of 9. volâ€" cano undoubtedly is higher than that below the surface. DR.
