Crisp, Cool Salads
Bid Spring Welcome
Use a lemon juice dressing for
these orange slices, salad greens
and tomatoes, thus saving oil for
other household uses.
Outdoors it may be little tufts of
green grass and tender shoots on
the trees that let you know spring is
on the wing, but indoors you can do
the trick by bringing fresh vegeta
ble plates and crispy salads to your
table.
Salads and vegetable plates are
truly the first harbingers of spring
when it comes to
menu - making.
Oh, yes, I know
you’ve been serv
ing salads and
vegetables during
winter, but with
spring you have
many more
choices and fresh
colors from which to choose.
Several attractive combinations of
vegetables on a single platter—or
salads—can tide you over many
meatless days. Then, too, they’ll
bring life-quickening vitamins and
minerals to your diet to help get
rid of whatever winter’s cobwebs
you may have accumulated in your
system!
Speaking of salads brings up the
problem of dressings, and with that
the scarcity of fats for salad oils.
There are several alternatives, the
first of which is lemon juice either
alone or with a bit of sugar as
dressing for fruit salads.
Many of you perhaps like simple
vinegar dressing with just a touch
of salt and pepper. This perks up
flavors in vegetables, inexpensively,
too!
Your french dressing of course can
be made with mineral oil in the ab
sence of other oils. Long used in
reduction diets, mineral oil makes a
nice dressing for light spring salads.
It is not absorbed by the body, so if
you’re trying to gain weight, be sure
to include other fats for body use.
If it’s mayonnaise you like, here’s
a recipe which requires only a half
cup of oil and a single egg yolk.
Cooked Mayonnaise.
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons flour
% cup water
Vi teaspoon salt
l-k teaspoon pepper
t teaspoon mustard
, teaspoon paprika
1 egg yolk
Vt cup salad oil

water slowly and cook until thick
ened. Cool, then add salt, mustard,
pepper, paprika. Beat in egg yolk,
then add oil slowly, beating all the
while. Last add lemon juice.
Vegetable Plate.
Stuff tomato with cottage cheese
and chives and place in center of

side place a
mound of crisp
carrot strips and
asparagus,cooked
or canned, with a ,
ring of lemon p
rind. Potato salad
and crisp cole slaw complete the
plate.

Lynn Says:
Vitamins Plus or Minus? It all
depends upon how you handle
them. To retain maximum
amounts of vitamins in cooked
foods, use as little water as pos
sible—just enough to prevent
from sticking.
Get on your mark, start quick
ly Not a track race, but a vita
min race You start with boiling
water for cooking, and copk rap
idly—thus cutting cooking time to
a minimum and saving precious
food values.
Covered utensils without stir
ring are prescribed. Stirring and
uncovered utensils put air into
foods and destroy vitamins.
Avoid violent, furious boiling.
This is modern, streamlined, pro
tective cookery- to preserve val
uable vitamins.

With the absence of pineapple of
ten these days, we like something to
use to give tartness to salads. In

grapefruit to good advantage:

Stippling a floor isn't hard to do
if you are your own decorator.
Use a sponge with a flat surface
and when your ground color is
dry, take a piece of board and
paint on it the stippling color.
Then, press the sponge on the
stippling color and then on floor.
In this way you transfer the pat
tern of the sponge from the board
to the floor.

SNAPPY FACTS
ABOUT
RUBBER
Indians of His Amazon River re
gion made the first rubber over
shoes, which were Imported Into
the U.S. in 1800.
Mistakes of many kinds can cut
into the rubber conservation pro
gram, as is indicated by the fact
that normally 180,000pounds of rub
ber was used annually in the manu
facture of pencil mark erasers.
Before vulcanization was discov
ered In 1 839 rubber goods hard
ened like rock fn winter and
melted in summer. Early rubber
goods manufacturers suffered se
vere financial losses because of
the unreliability of their prod
ucts. That was many years ago.
A check of the tires on 500 vehi
cles recently disclosed that 80%
were under-inflated, even to the ex
tent of from 10 to 15 pounds. This
is a heavy waste of rubber because
it has been found that 30 per cent
under-inflaticn permits the return of
only 74 per cent of the mileage built
into a tire.

The Hope of Death Kept
Sjxirk of Life in Recruit
The army medico was making
his cheerful rounds of sick bay on
the huge transport that had been
working for several days through
the long, oily swells of a rough
sea. One case was nothing more
(or less, depending upon the indi
vidual point of view) than an old
fashioned attack of seasickness.
“Well, Private Jenks,” boomed
the doctor heartily, “it looks to
me like you’re not going to die aft
er all.”
Private Jenks opened a horrified
eye, to stare at the doc.
“Not going to die!” he wailed.
“Gosh, doctor, I thought I was.
That was the only thing that kept
me alive."
