If so, you probably have felt repaid many times as you have turned to it for reference.

Home Account books are available at the Farm Bureau Office and should be gotten in time to start your record January 1, 1944. Christmas Candle Drip If candle wax drips on the holiday tablecloth, call on a dull knife, a warm iron and cleansing tissues to help remove it. First, scrape off as much of the hard wax as possible with a dull knife. Then, place the stain between cleansing tissues or paper towels, and press with a warm iron, changing the paper as it be comes soiled. Finally, sponge with a grease solvent. If color still remains, sponge with liquid made up of half as much denatured alcohol as wa ter. C In Peel The peelings and parings of fruit that so often find their way to the garbage pail can contribute con siderable vitamin C to meals if wise ly used, according to extension home economists at the College of Agri culture. The peel of oranges, lemons and other citrus fruits contain about three times as much of this vitamin as the pulp and juice. Adding thin slices of gratings of peel to sauces, spreads and desserts will not only give an orange or lemon flavor but will add vitamin C as well. In making candied peel or sweet marmalade In which the peel is par boiled and then the water discarded, some of the vitamin C is lost with the water. However, peel may be sliced or grated and added with no previous cooking to applesauce, and other sauces, to spreads of various kinds, to most fruit desserts and aven to quick breads. The peel of apples Is five times as rich in vitamin C as the flesh. Scien tists report? that Vitamin C is more concentrated in the outside of the fruit, probably because the outside receives more light. Sunlight seems to have a favorable effect on vita min C though this is not the so called "sunshine vitamin."
