Vitamin

finded and Hoard A in the Snap Bean

NOW AS NEVER BEFORE, the homemaker wants food that is not|

only good to eat but good for nourishment, too

Fresh snap beans—|

from truck crop fields or from victory gardens—supply a fair amount of vitamins A and C, riboflavin, nicotinic acid, calcium, iron and phos-

phorus.

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am a girl of 15 and have a sister who is 13. We take care of the house while our mother and father go to work.

We will be home alone to take care of the house and] three little kids. Ma said for Dad to get out right away and he did. My mother is pretty and keeps herself young and my Dad is a good looking man and jolly. I don't know whether he will come back or not.

Esther Williams: Swimming keeps her figure 2

Canning Mittens

By MRS. ANNE CABOT

American housewives are expected to “put up” 5,200,000,000 cans of food this summer to stock the family larders for the winter. That's a lot of cans! Lot of work, too. Make yourself some handy big crocheted mittens to expedite the handling of hot kettles and jars. Mitts are thick and are easily orocheted. Red cherries and green leaves are crocheted separately and sewn on, To obtain complete crocheting directions for the cherry mitt set (pattern 5586), send 11 cents in soin, your name and address and * “he pattern number to Anne Cabot, “The Indianapolis Times, 530 8S.

True, you | will lose some of the vitamin value | by keeping the vegetables a second | day, but if you store the snap beans, cold and covered, the loss will be small, s =

‘Planning Ahead

GREEN BEANS are excellent in a cold cooked vegetable salad and tasty in a soup, stew, or vegetable | pie. You can also scallop left-over | beans, Make a medium white sauce, | using the water in which the beans | were cooked and drippings or poul[try fat or bacon fat and flour. | Pour the sauce over the beans, add | a little seasoning such as curry, {sprinkle bread crumbs on top and bake in a moderate oven until the crumbs are brown and the sauce | bubbling. For variation, add a little grated cheese. Or heat the | beans in the white sauce with a {dash of curry and some sour cream | beaten into it.

The young tender beans are al- | ways good with salt and pepper and melted drippings. Occasionally saute | chopped onions and mix them with {the bans. Stewed tomatoes with green beans and onions are flavorful, too. And if you like a sweetsour taste, melt bacon fat or drippings in a pan, add a little vinegar ang sugar, and pour the mixture over the beans just before serving. Remember to use snap beans soon after they are picked. Keep them cool until you are ready to prepare them, If your victory garden has a sur- { plus, of course, it's always good to | share.

Help Save Milk; Make Fruit Ices

Help save milk, one of the coun- | try’s most vital weapons. Instead of making ice cream this summer, try homemade ices using whatever fresh | fruit is in season. Or make sherbets which use part milk and part fruit juices. | Because so much milk is needed for the armed forces, civilians are | asked to conserve on extra use of | milk. But get the milk you need in your daily diet . . . at least a pint for adults and a quart for children.

War Families Are Dependent On Laundries

Times Special NEW YORK, July 5—More than 95 per cent of the nation's waractive family groups depend almost exclusively on professional laundry services for their supplies of clean clothing and household linens, results of a survey announced |by the American Institute of Laun|dering indicate

Made in the east, the survey has produced opinions which industry | officials believe typify the feeling | of workers in most production areas of the country. | Of the families contacted, actual- | ly 956 per cent stated their total | dependence on outside laundering | service. Fears of breakdown in| health, the lack of equipment, ab- | sence of help, no space, no time and no hot water were reasons given for inability to handle laundering at home. A total of 49.9 per cent answered that curtailment of professional laundry service would endanger the health of families involved. It was felt, also, in 31 per cent of the cases that such a curtailment would interfere with war work, civilian defense activities or government duties.
