" Fresh Vegetables
Now that our gardens are beginning
to help out the family table the tree
use of fresh vegetables becomes an
economical point, as well as a health
and conservation - suggestion. I
realize more and more how limited
the American table is in its use of
vegetables. For whenever my high
ichool plan a meal, choosing just
what they wish, peas, corn or to
matoes are practically the only vege
tables that meet with universal tavor,
Once in a rare while carrots or
strine beans 'are selected. It seems
quite too bad to miss the pleasure ot
eating the fresh vegetables as they
come into season, A varied dietary
is so much more possible if a family
likes almost every kind of food.
New Pamphlet on Fresh Vegetables
me unneq oiaics roou uminis
tration has just published a new
pamphlet on fresh vegetables, part
; of which is given below. The admin-
istration urges the use of vegetables,

"Use all kinds of vegetables what
ever? you grow in your own garden
or what you can buy in the market.
' Vegetables should be plentiful this
summer, for all over the country peo
ple have made; war gardens. You
can't afford to miss using vegetables,
.they mean vigor and health for you.
Use whVt you can while they are
fresh and at their best, and if you
have more than you can use now,

i ways for winter use.

body and keep it in repair and the
snecial substances that help make
children and keep adults healthy.
"Use potatoes, sweet potatoes, lima
beans, green corn, green peas, onions,
bests, carrots, squash. Such vegetables
give you fuel, besides the minerals,
and some of them giye you protein.
They can help you save meat and
wheat. Whenyou serve enough vege

vegetables can do for your body, ihey

Points to Remember in Cooking
Fresh Vegetables.
"Vegetables just out of the garden
taste best when simply cooked
steamed, boiled or baked and served
with a little salt, butter, milk or
cream. Often a heavily-seasoned
sauce covers up the more desirable
vegetable flavor,
pvercookmg of vegetables impairs
their flavor. Very delicate flavors are
destroyed, while vegetables with
strong flavors,' such as cabbage or
onions, become disagreeably strong if
cooked too long. Overcooking also
destroys the attractive color iof some
vegetables.
Cook summer vegetables as soon
after they are gathered as you can, in
order to preserve the flavor. If they
must be kept over, keep them in the
icebox or some other cool place.
Let wilted vegetables soak in colJ
water to freshen them .If vegetables
must stand after paring, covering with
cold water will prevent wilting and
discoloration.
Before cooking, put head vegetables
and greens in cold water for an hour,
with one tablespoonful of vinegar to

Yemove insects, then wash very care
fully. Drain All Vegetables.
Drain all boiled vegetables as soon
as tender they become soggy if they
are allowed to stand undrained after
cooking. The water drained off may
be saved Jor soup stock.
Most vegetables -should be cooked
in a small amountvof water, because
a part of the mineral salts dissolves
out into the water, and is lost if the
water is thrown away. Cook whole
when possible.
Tender spinach or lettuce leaves
require no-added water for cooking.
If thoroughly washed, enough water
will ding to the leaves to prevent
their burning.
Delicately flavored vegetables
should be steamed or cooked slowly
in a small amount of boiling water
until tender and the water boils away.
Strong flavored vegetables may be
cooked uncovered in a large amount
of rapidly boiling water, and the waterj
changed several times during cooktng
Starchy vegetables should e put
on to cook in , a sufficiently large
amount of boiling" water to cover
them. Boil gently, aqd keep kettle
covered.
The time required for cooking veg
etables deoends on the kind, size and
age of the vegetable. You must us
your judgment in deciding when they
are done, but a timetable may help
you.

In the five months of activity of
the comforts forwarding committeeT
conducted by the Christian Scientists
of the Boston district, 92,175 articles
have been prepared and forwarded to
the armies and to the destitute people
of our allies, as stated in a report
from the Boston district.
A part of the comforrs forwarding
committee's work is carried on by the
"unit system," whereby a conmittee
of 10 is instructed in the preparation
of a model garment for refugee chil
dren. Each of these 10 instructs 10
others, who in turn become captains
of teams of 10 that they instruct.
Thus 1,101 workers are banded to
gether, and 'an average of 1,000 gar
ments a week completed. Nearly 500
of these comforts forwarding com
mittees are conducted by Christian
Scientists throughout the United
States.
Although only 11 years old, Chris
tine Reed of Sanford, Me., is one of

TOM SLADE ON A TRANSPORT. By
Percy K. Fitzhugh. Gossett & Dunlap.
While working as a messboy on
one of Uncle Sam's big ships, Tom's
cleverness enables him to be of serv
ice in locating a disloyal member of
the crew, and through a mistake, he is
suspected of complicity and held a
prisoner. The story of how he is re
leased from this predicament and
completely exonerated is not the least
absorbing episode of the narrative. On
his homeward voyage the ship is
torpedoed and Tom is taken aboard
a submarine and thence to Germany
and a German prison camp, from
which he finally escapes.
THE HOUSE OP CONRAD. By Ellas
Tobenkln. Frederick A. Stokes company.
1.60. - .
Conrad's audacious dream of found
ing in America a house that would be
the embodiment of all the socialistic
doctrines that he and his co-workers
dared not apply in Europe is changed
by the'adbiding spirit of America in
the reality of a home rooted in the
soil in the midst of liberty of the
true American sort.
THE PRETTY LADY. By Arnold Ben
nett. George H. Doran company. J1.60.
In this book Arnold Bennett "has
done two supremely difficult things:
He has portrayed a French courtesan
who is neither falsely romantic nor
falsely unpleasant; and he has man
aged to make "society', figures hu
manly interesting without satire. His
realism has thereby reached a dis
tinctly higher stage; it is interpretive
instead of enumerative. Christine, the
courtesan, is a naive, superstitious,
pleasant young woman of 26 years,
who is viewed by the author neither
with vitriolic blame nor saccharine
pity; that she is incorrigibly possessed
by her "unappeasable temperament" is
what G. J.-Hoape, who makes her the
subject of an idyll .of domesticity,
cannot, of course, grasp. But the
highest art of the book lies in the
characters of Conception and Queenie,
leaders in the "intellectual set," mad
with their own restlessness and the
strain of constantly endeavoring to
be original. It is swift and incisive,
without losing the firm grip on
reality.

JOAN OF ARC. By C. M. Stevens. Cupplc

Joan of Arc lived the most amazing
life known in human history. Woman
hood is revealed in her with all the
courage ever known in manhood. Her
rail life represents a power superior
to any priests, warriors or kings.
She changed the civilzation of west
ern Europe. France awes its exist
ence to her. But more than that, she
withstood the most powerful military
and ecclesiastical despotism ever
known, and suffered the most des
perate martyrdom in the history of
Christianity. American readers are
becoming interested in this wonder
ful woman. This book shows how
she is one of the immortal few whose
life surpasses biography, whose ca
reer is more than history and whose
character is a sublime type of the
human struggle. . . .
