Win Your Vitamins (See Recipes Below.) k') Vitamin Ways •-'.•J- u:r ^Cothes winter and fall when .vegetables and fruits are more scarce than during summer and fall, and many a homemaker is apt to fall shy on serving her family these vital body regulating and protective foods. Yet, this is the time when the body needs them most, these foods build up the body's resistance to disease --and keep you, to pick a common example, from having a cold as soon . as warm weather and sun flee. Minerals are busy building and " repairing, replenishing body tissues that get torn down and used up, daily with every movement you make. Vitamins help you use the foods you eat. Oood-to-eat foods help the family take in all these vital minerals and vitamins. Drab, uninteresting dishes will send them off to eating other foods to take the edge off their hunger-- wherever they can put their hands on something. I need not point out that in this way they may really be losing out on foods necessary to the body. Cooking vegetables well, and doing pretty things to their appearance will help their consumption rating. A bit of sauce or extra seasoning will put an ordinary vegetable over and at the same time insure your family of what it needs 1 most: •Scalloped Peas and Onio&s. i • (Serves 5 to 6) | .1 pound small white onions i- 1 No. 2 can peas -v'S tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons flout j 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk i 3 tablespoons finely crashed bread crumbs Parboil onions 25 minutes.

Of course you don't have to drink all this milk. Use part of it in cooking. Second honors go to meat, fish or poultry, and this is not hard to use up. For lunch or dinner, whichever fits best for your family. one serving per person should be counted. At least one egg a day or at least four to five per week marks the third inch. Have it for breakfast or toss it in the hot bread for dinner, or custard for lunch. Cereal's important, too. Serve it in the breakfast, or a pudding or even cookies. Bread and rolls come under this category, also. Fifth inch includes the vegetables: two besides potatoes, one should be a leafy vegetablesspinach, lettuce, broccoli, romaine, etc.--and the other raw.. Cabbage is perfect. Now, the fruits. Two a day isn't hard to manage. Of course you start off with breakfast, and then include one for lunch or dinner dessert. The last and seventh inch includes butter or some fat rich in vitamin A.

Time was when it was nobody's business but our own if we spent the night fighting a poorly made bad.

Short sheets affect our fabric conservation plans adversely because they wear out faster than properly fitting sheets, according to the American Institute of Laundering. Not only do these experts know that short sheets wear out faster, but they know why. And, they'd like for us to know, too, for this is the time to Conserve every bit of fabric we can. Here's how the Laundry Institute explains the whole busi- ^ ness of "frictional wear" which is what gets our sheets when they are too small for the bed.

When locked both rings are held together on the finger so that the diamonds form a massed motif. If you have a white pique or sharkskin blouse that is just a trifle too severely tailored to be flattering, buy a few yards of bright rick rack braid and finish off all edges and the front opening with a single row. It is also a clever way of co-ordinating color for blouse and suit at the same time that it adds a definite style touch. New costume jewelry and lapel gadgets have gone very amusing.
