Vitamin Cc Found In- Simple Foods Certain Vegetables and Cit. rus Fruits Contain Apprec- _lable Quantities Nebuchadnezzar ate grass: the British seamen of the eighteenth century drank raw lemon jpice: the Alaskan miners in the gold rush drank pine needle tea: and the English mother today gives her children syrup of rose hips. Not because any of these con- coctions are particularly : pleas. ant, but because their high Vita. min C content prevents that most ~ virulent of vitamin-deficjiency dis. . eases known as Scurvy. This terrible "condition has al is restricted by poverty, war 'or famine. The danger of it, even in its mildest form, should be easily avoided in this country if every housewife remembers the importance of Vitamin C when planning the family meals, nutri. tion services of the Department of Pensions and Health advise. Fortunately for the family food budget, Vitamin <C is present .in "appreciable quantity in such sim. ple foods as potatoes and par- snips, fresh 'cabbage, cauliflow- er, turnips, beet tops, spinach and watercress. Eaten raw they would give the highest value, «nd faulty cooking can render useless. + So cook your potatoes in their skins: plunge the cab- bage into fast boiling water and cook rapidly with- a lid on the -han 7-10 minutes: spinach needs only the water that clings to the leaves: after washing, Use shredded "cabbage and watercress in salad "rather than lettuce, Fresh oranges, grapefruit and lemons ate so rich in Vitamin C that four ounces of juice a day is sufficient for an adult, Twice that quantity "is needed of juice, fresh or canned.

Suggestions F or Sugar Rationing Laura Pepper, chief of the ag- _xiculture _department's = consunier service section, has come to the rescue of Canadian housewives with a handful of suggestions to help them get by with less sugar under the new rationing plan, She forecast a return to popu- larity for plain, unfrosted cakes and suggested more fruit should be used. "Syrup and' honey ate good sugar substitutes," she said, "Of course, we don't know yet what quantities will be available but use them to sweeten breakfast ereal, Raising are good as a cereal-sweetener too.. And don't 'waste sugar in the bottom of cof- . fee and tea cups." > * Here are some more of her THE Hers are suggestions:-- - 1. Choose recipes requiring the least amount of sugar, 2.

In and out of the Pitt-Astor drug store one saw an endless parade of aspirants to acting fame, Some- where among these young pcople from all over the country, there were the future theatre stars of tomorrow, the George M. Cohans, the Katherine Cornells, the Luuts . and Fontannes, * They were the great army of believers. Without them, Broadway "would have been just anothér Kigh- way for thelr hopes and paved its streets with magic, their ambitions had lighted it with fame, __ All over New York City, thers _ were hundreds of them, looking, hoping, praying ... . weary, hungry and homesick. Most of them would ~ have been satisfied with 'anything-- Tour simple lines and a cup of cof- fee. No part could be too, small, no possibility too remote. Thoy had amazing capacities for disappoint. ing these young people. The same rounds over and over again. Noth- ing today, nothing tomorrow, nothing yesterday. But they would keep on dream- ing and struggling and believing glanced curlously at the pleasant, middleaged woman, who had been coming there six nights In a row. She was a nice "icky" he thought, prob'ly from some little town like Waterbury. But then, anybody would" be nice who showed that much appreciation for the Three Musical Balls of -Fire. Their act came to an end wlth . a flourish and they danced oft to the dressing room, Any minute now Nick would come in with the "kitty." Maybe one of the custo- mers had put a dollar in it for a change. Boy, it sure would be nice to get a job some day with a salary attached to fit. There was a knock on the door and Nick, the proprietor entered, His round, double chinned face was sorrowful, - "Boys," he sald heavily,. "I wanta :you should re- sign." They all stared and Tommy sald, "You mean quit working here? No sir, Nick. We love you. We're not going to leave you down in this cel lar by yourself every night. nt Nick sighed tragically, "Then 1 got to fire you." Aftectionately, he shushed them. "Look, I gotta da biz, 1 gotta da wife, [ gotta da kids, 1 gotta myself, I gotta you. Yes?" "Yes," they said. This was all irrefutable truth. , Nick-shrugged. "But 1 gotta only four customers to' eat da spaghett. So 1 gotta go outta blz." That set the boys back on their heels. Without hope, Tommy looked ~into the "kitty" which Nick -had brought with him. There was a nickel, a dime, a quarter and -- Tomniy's eyes bulged--a five dollar bill. "Hey," he yelled, what's this? Who put this five bucks in?" PLE Nobody could even hazard a guess. Then Tommy said, startled, "Couldn't be the 'icky' from Water- bury?' He understood. "She prob- ably thought it svas a buck, We'll have to give it back." Hammy and Nay 1 let out stricken __ cries ---- I for the theatre was their heaven and their goal. To get there, they were often humble, they acted in hallways, and-like Tommy Wil liams who had. been away from his home in Wisconsin for a year now--they sang and danced in cellars. At the moment though, Nick's cellar spaghetti joint was distres. singly empty as Tommy, along .-with his pals Ray and Hammy, went through their" sassy college routine, laughing, singing, step ping high--and wondering about _ the future. Tommy glanced around the place. "Do you think the audience likes us?" "I don't know," Ray returned, "but thank goodness they outnum- bered us." Tommy nodded and once agaln, A FAMOUS BRAND ) qden's FINE CUT Tommy though, was sal the door, Lovingly, he looked at the bill. "Hate to do_it fellows but things aren't that tough, I-better hurry though" before my stomach starts talking to my will power." Outside, he headed for the table of their benefactress. "I'm afrald:- you made a mistake lady," he grinned. "We found this bill in the 'kitty"." She' adjusted her. glasses and looked at ft. "Anything wrong with it? The 'kitty' says you take every- thing." A feather would have knocked Tommy down. "You mean you..." Then he laughed self consciously, "Gee, that's a pretty big admission just to avatch us.. You can see the BE ------------------ best show on Broadway for four forty." ; "I"think your show Is as good as some I've seen on Broadway," was the reply. Delighted, Tommy sat down, "You do, eh? Well, we think so too but the out of town trade doesn't gen- erally appreciate us. Where you from? 1 mean what part of the country?" "Well, I was born in Wisconsin, but..." Tommy almost turned a hand- spring. "That's funny, I was born in Wisconsin too. My mother still ----ltves-there." He smiled at her hap- pily. "You know you're like Mom. She always says God made New York so the good people would ap- preciate Wisconsin." Now Hammy and Ray joined him, Tommy made {atroductions and thelr new friend told them that HER name was Miss Jones, Inter- rupting each other, they regaled .- . \ li DISLIKE WASHING DIRTY 160 HANDKERCHIEFS? { SINGLE | 11050's fraedom from your TISSUES | 10st unpleasant task. , . 10¢ Instead of washing dirty J handkerchiefs, bson's | Postpald Tissues are so cheap you simply destroy them--- im A hla late A E.

Miss Jones rose to leave and Tommy handed her one of thelr professional cards. "Well, Miss Jones from Wisconsin you've been ~darned nice to us and if you want anybody to show you around the town or anything just let me know, I'm Tommy Willlams, Call me any time, at the Pitt-Astor Drug Store. It's 'the actor's clearing house." Smiling benignly, Miss Jones nod. ded. "That's very kind, Tommy, I'm much obliged to you and , don't be surprised. You may be hearing from me." That night the boys feasted on salami, candy and fruit. Then _ Tommy, feeling happler than he had in days, wrote home to his mother, "Dear Mom: Qur act was a sen- sation tonight and I think we're get- ting too big for the place." He chowed on his pencil.

He was used to "at leisure" actors. "The - dame gald Thornton Reed productions 'and wants you to get up to the office before one o'clock." The boys looked at each other, then at Shorty increduously. Finally, Ray made a decision. "Well, what can we lose? We've been turned down by every shoe. string producer. It won't hurt any more to be turned down top guy in the business." This seemed to make sense, but as they were leaving, Tommy turned back and sald darkly, "Lis. ten, Shorty, If this is a gag, you've made your last banana split. Don't forget that."
