Both White and Sweet Potatoes Are Low-Cost Sources of Vitamin C
WHEN YOU ARE PLANNING the job of keeping up your family’s health standard, you should not forget potatoes, white and sweet, accord-
ing to advice from the Consumer Division of the Office of Price Admin-
istration. Both these foods are year-round low-cost sources of vitamin C,
as well as offering vitamin B. Vitamin A is found in sweet potatoes and iron is also present in both. Nutrition experts recommend using one of these low-cost vegetables at least once a day, or even twice, if you want to stretch your food dollar. food value.
Government grades of both vegetables are found on the market. The two highest grades of white potatoes, U. S. Fancy and U. S. Extra No. 1, are seldom found in general stores. But U. S. No. 1, a fine grade, U. S. Commercial, slightly less uniform in size and shape, U. S. No. 2, a fair grade, are all on the market. Some unclassified potatoes may be very usable, if you buy them carefully. Sweet potatoes are graded U. 8S. Fancy, U. S. Extra No. 1 and U. S. No. 1. The latter is a fair grade, if not too badly misshapen. There are certain characteristics of good quality potatoes that you can recognize without grade marks. Good quality is indicated by freedom from marks of decay, such as soggy or rough spots in white potatoes, moist and soft spots in ‘sweet potatoes. Smoothness, shallow (eyes, uniformity of size, clean ‘skins are indications of good quality in white potatoes. Smoothness and uniform size, to which must be added brightness of color, are to be sought in sweet |potatoes. Sometimes it is difficult to detect freezing until a white potato is peeled, when a black rim will appear near the skin, although sometimes the potato will appear watery. Freezing discolors sweet potatoes. One part of your conservation job

Washing your face and throat several times a day, as well as morning and night, will refresh you inwardly, tone down your surface.

Some of these have a slightly drying effect. » ” s EXPERIMENT with cosmetics. Choose a dry, indelible lipstick rather than an oily one.

Just separate the yoke and white of an egg, beat each lightly in a bowl. Wash face and throat, smooth on a layer of beaten egg white, let it dry for a moment, then put on a layer of yolk and let that dry. Apply a second layer of white, then another of yolk. Lie down for 20 minutes while the mask dries completely and remove it with tepid water. Pat with skin tonic, or a special duty skin cream.

Sort them over once in a while to remove spoiled ones and pick off the sprouts. Sweet potatoes should be kept dry and cool, since they spoil easily. Always avoid rough hand-| ling and bruising. Buy your potatoes for the use you intend them. For boiling, a firm, Waxy potato is best. For baking and mashing, a mealy one should be chosen.

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am 17 years old and in love with a boy of 25. I love him better than any boy I ever went with but he picks at other girls and tells me he loves them just to make me mad. He tells me he is going to town to see other girls and acts as if he liked my sister, too. He has asked me to marry him but I am not sure that he loves me enough to marry me. What should I do? Get married or let him go? I love him very much. BROKEN HEARTED.
Answer—I do not think you are old enough to cope with the problems of marriage and should wait until you've gathered more experience and understanding. If so simple a thing as a man’s obvious attempt to make you jealous constitutes a baffling problem, what would you do when confronted with something more complicated? The man is too old for you and credits you with more sophistication than you have. If you were older and felt more secure in your own powers, you could afford to ignore his sallies toward other girls or else reverse the situation and put him on the uneasy seat by going out with boys your own age. Very likely he is flirtatious and does enjoy making various conquests. Your alarm over his behavior is bound to make him feel important to you, but he ought not to need this type of proof. I do not see any of the elements that make a happy marriage in what you have told me of your love affair and think you would be wise to wait.
DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am 35 old and in love with a man of have been going together for time. Then he got mad at me
