Take a good, close look at the "flying ants” that you may find glistening in the warm sunlight these days near your house or build ings. Chances are they are termites heading for a wedding in your woodwork. _ Spring's mating call sends the ants and termites soaring on their frail wings, and it’s only the royalty that flies. When they pair off, though, it means a new colony is beginning. Look at the wrings. If they are transparent with distinct, heavy veins, are tapered and only slightly longer than the insect’s body, protruding from the sides of the body when folded, it is a winged ant with ambitions for an ant hill. If the wings are long and narrow wtih tiny, barely visible veins, and if they lie back parallel when folded, you are looking at a termite with designs on your doorsill. Of course, if you have taken the precaution to use fence posts and structural members properly treatea against termites, you have little •cause for alarm. W oou products pressure-treated with penta, for example, are resistant to both termites and decay. Tests have proved that this means four times more service life from wood—and no home life at all for termites. ,, - • - — YOU CANT QUIT ADVERTISING YOU’RE TALKING TO A PARADE NOT A MASS MEETING Angel Food Mix Inspired ' By Old Time Recipe IN a vigorous search to locate the best cake recipes of famous women in American history.

I I An Old Favorite In A New Way “Easy as pie" has long been a familiar saying in America, but it wasn’t until the wonderful pie crust ready-mixes appeared on the scene that it came into its own. Flako Pie Crust Mix, in particular, is renowned for producing a ten der, flaky pie crust every time. A ten-ounce package contains enough mix for a ten inch, “king size” pie. You just add water and roll the pastry once, instead of the measuring, cutting in of short ening, folding and re-rolling that a good pie crust used to require. Here’s a new recipe for a pie that’s an old favorite, brought up to date and made easier for you. Prune and Apricot Pie % pkg. (1 cup) Flako Pie Crust Mix Vi pkg. dried prunes Vi pkg. dried apricots \b cup sugar 1 teaspoon lemon juice pinch of salt x tcaspuuw uuui Prepare pastry for 9-inch single-crust pie. Line pie pan and flute -idges. Wash fruit; remove pits from prunes, cover with water and simmer until done. When cool, add the remaining ingredients to fruits and blend. | Pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake at 425’ (hot oven) for 40-45 minutes. Serve cold with sweetened whipped cream. If you would like a free recipe booklet for other pies, send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to the woman s editor of this paper. - ———-—... .. 1 r New Vanilla Cupcakes From A Mi?6 Do you need a reason for giving a party? If you do, you can always find one. It’s a beautiful day! It’s junior’s birthday. Sis has graduated, or you just happen to feel like giving a party (and that’s the best reason of all!) I __ Nowadays, there’s no longer any excuse for saying “I just haven’t the time to prepare party foods.” As long as you have a package of Flako “Cupiets” Vanilla Cupcake Mix on your food shelf, you can whip up party fare in less than five minutes making time, twenty minutes baking time. This is the only cupcake mix there is with a “built-in" vanilla flavor. Here are some suggestions for varying the basic recipe: Little orange juice cupcakes: Substitute half a cup of orange juice for the milk in the basic recipe, prepare batter as directed on package. Add one tablespoon of grated orange rind before baking. Spice-nut cupcakes: Blend into the dry mix one quarter of a teaspoon each of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Prepare batter as directed. Blueberry cupcakes: Stir one cup of fresh or thawed frozen blueberries into the batter before baking. Food Sense—Not Nonsense V. -’ ImI One To Grow On —For The Life Of You Riboflavin, the B vitamin, is for the young in heart at every age. From birth, it is essential for a child’s growth and as an adult, adequate riboflavin helps make for a longer prime of life. Much evidence exists to show that the amount of riboflavin in one’s food has a large influence upon the level of health and effi ciency of an individual living under average conditions. It is difficult to point out danger signs when the deficiency is not a com plete lack of the riboflavin, but only a moderate one. As an ex ample, children may grow and develop slowly which could be attributed to heredity. However, science has shown that in some cases there is a direct relationship between growth and riboflavin in the diet. Although this B vitamin is fairly well distributed in foods and extreme deficiencies may not be too frequent, scientists regard it as an important factor in health and in building already-normal health to higher levels. The picture offered when the diet of experimental animals sup plies an amount of riboflavin above a bare minimum, may have a lesson for thoee who are young in heart. Here, results tend to wards better development, higher adult vitality, greater freedom from disease at all ages, somewhat longer life and what is more signifi cant—a longer prime of life. With growing knowledge of the importance of riboflavin in main taining healthy tissues and general health, it is recognized that many people need a better choice of food to assure an adequate amount of this B vitamin. Where then are they to find it? Riboflavin is formed in growing plants, so therefore, leafy vegeta bles and grains are sources. So are meats, milk products and eggs good sources. One of the best, is enriched bread, riboflavin being one of the enriching nutrients. Six slices of enriched bread provide about 15 per cent of one’s daily allowance of this vitamin, an amount slightly higher than that provided by an equal amount of whole wheat bread. Bread has another advantage—its crust is a barrier to light which can destroy this vitamin. Phone Your News T< > HA( 1800
