The luscious strawberry is seen everywhere now-a

will be first choice for dessert. By the way. have you
ever tried warm, /teamed cakes, topped with a mix

the markets are fairly teeming with fresh vege
tables. Since they ai*e highly perishable every house
wife should help in their distribution, should purchase
them regularly. They are very essential to our dailv
diet: our children especially should eat them daily.

perintendent, Dr. Amy L. Dan
iels, says that a child should
drink one quart of milk a
day and eat three servings
of fruit, one of which is raw.
and three servings of vege
tables other than corn and
potatoes. The size of the
servings, of course, should
vary with the age of the
child. This research station
is an interesting institution.
Practical C o o k e r y says
each state should have a

welfare of our babies, “the
men and women of tomor
row." we’re reinforcing the

Lest we forget. May 30th
is Memorial day. While
commemorating those who
gave up their lives for the
cause of liberty, let us
think not only of those who
sleep in Flanders fields
where poppies blow, but let
our thoughts revert to the
battle of Lexington: thence
on throughout the years of
trials and tribulations when
it was established that lib
erty shall not perish from
the earth: and, that democ
racy shall live forever.
Then we will have paid
homage in full measure. +

Who for us trials nobly bore
Rut tho your mortal selves have passed
Your spirit lives forevermore.
And as^we journey on thru life

And rest in peace in Heaven.

it is no easy matter to see that they are properly fed.
