Citrus Fruits Dependable) Sources of Vitamin C The orange and grapefruit heve long been acclaimed for their vitamin C content, and now the mandarin type orange is being heralde^ as a source of pro-vitamin A. Carcinoid pigments, the King orange, tangerine and satsuma are all members of the mandarin group, being characterized by a deep orange, easily peeled skin. Citrus fruits are dependable sources of vitamin C. Half of a medium sized grapefruit or one large, juicy orange will supply the daily need. And there is a daily need of this vitamin because the body can store very little of it and it has a special function to perform in keep* ing body tissues healthy. Cirrus fruits provide acids and flavors that stimulate the appetite and aid in digestion. The bulk they contain helps prevent constipation. Their alkaline salts balance the acid effects of meat, eggs and cereals. Their calcium, phosphorus and iron aid in cell building and maintenance. Time was when toe per capita allotment of citrus fruit consisted of one orange deposited by Santa in'the toe of each Christmas stocking. The goal now is one serving of. citrus fruit per day.

Reclaiming Wool 1 To reclaim wool from sweaters, dresses, socks, baby coverings, and similar articles, the piece is careful* ly unravelled, and the yarn is looped into skeins as it is unwound. One organization which is promoting the use of reclaimed wool advocates winding the wool around a small breadboard to get good skeins, and tying each in four places to prevent its getting tangled. When the quantity of yarn has been unravelled into skeins, wash in plenty of lukewarm suds. This cleans and brightens the yarn and takes out the crinkles. Rinsing follows the washing,. and then the skeins are hung over a rod to dry. A weight tied to the hanging end of the skein helps it dry without kinkd. When the clean Wool is completely dry, it is wound into balls, jttet as though it were brand new. / .
