people the value of these vegetables they are acknowledged as valuable nutrients scientists tell us mortals that the twc vegetoblos mentioned contain essential properties towards the making of good hoalth some peoplo particularly tho younger set possess at times an aversion to tho onion because of the odor being a trifle repulsive when one is attired in full dress suit or on a mission that may lead to a matrimonial ven ture tlio same objection joes not hold good in connection with the carrot it may be used without later embarrassing situations cropping np however tho chief reason for the somewhat imperative order of tho food controller is that these vegetables now on hand will lose their powurs as a diet unless con sumed they are now best fit for human consjimption by taking advantage
