The alert cook keeps watching for new ways of bringing out the flavor and preserving the color of her cooked vegetables. A few ideas for making them thor- oughly tempting without making in- roads into the butter ration, are given by the Consumer Section of the De- partment of Agriculture. Pickle little whole beets and keep on hand for reheating with the thickened vinegar served as a sauce. Use a dash of vinegar on green beans, baby carrots, summer squash and cabbage, as well as on cauliflower. Use a minimum of water for cook- ing and serve vegetables rich in flavor, color and food value. Tasty vegetables such as given in the recipes which follow give a lift to any meal. Panned Vegetables 1 cup small whole radishes 4 cup sliced onion 4 cups cubed raw potatoes 2 cups sliced carrots 2 tablespoons fat % cup water % teaspoon salt 4% teaspoon pepper 4% cup milk Prepare vegetables. Melt fat in fry- ing pan, add vegetables, water, salt and pepper. Cover and cook 20 min- utes. Add milk, cook uncovered 5 min- utes. Serve hot. Six servings.

Cover casserole and bake in a moderate over, 350 deg. F., until squash is tender--about 30 min- utes. ' HOW A TEASPOON BECOMES ~ TONS : Even with every man, woman and child in Canada sugar conservation conscious, it is still the easiest thing in the world for Canadians to waste almost 11 tons of sugar a day. A few grains are spilled, some is left undis- solved at the bottom of a tea cup. The almost empty cereal bowl holds a little. Zt all adds up. And how it adds up! If each Cana- dian family only wasted one teaspoon a day in ways like the above, that one family's teaspoon, multiplied by the single teaspoons of all the other fami- lies across Canada would come to 26,000 pounds of sugar, or nearly 11 tons wasted every single day. It is enough to make you look at you rsugar ration with a magnifying glass. LEGALLY OF AGE, TOO! It was long after midnight in the home of the famous author. He looked haggard and worn, for he had been working on his latest novel. "Darling," called his wife, "are you coming to bed?" "No, "m not," muttered the author. "T've got the pretty girl in the clutches of the villain and I want to get her out." "How old is the girl?" asked the wife. . "She's twenty-three,' informed the writer. "Then for goodness' sakes put out _|the lights and come to bed," snapped the weary wife. "She's certainly old enough to take care of her self!" Where To Go For It BAKERS T. V. B. BREAD CO. A. H.

BACK TO WORK Dear Miss St. John: My husband returned from Europe He was very ner- vous and had to rest under doctor's care the first month. Then he was told to take another month's vacation. During this time he seemed determin- ed to enjoy life. He went on trips alone and spent a lot of money. Then he looked for a job to suit him. That took another month. Thank goodness he has a job starting next week. The 'children and I are disappointed that he has not wanted to be with us more. He has grown very selfish. Do you think he will ever be like he was three years ago before he went overseas? DISAPPOINTED. Answer: We hope your troubles are over now, Disappointed. It has been very difficult for your husband to ad- just himself to normal home life after three years at the war. Returning to regular routine should help him to settle down. Three months is a long time-to be unsettled. We wish you both happiness and contentment. INA ST. JOHN. A NERVOUS DRIVER Dear Miss St. John: When my brother came home from overseas he bought a small car. He gave me the big one he had stored. All my friends (especially the boys) think I'm a lucky gal. The truth of it is, though I'm a husky lass, I am terribly nervous about cars. Mother drives just as well as Dad. Do you think I will ever get over this feeling? MARY. Answer: Some people have a sort of complex where driving is concerned, and they never do get over it. Since there is a family car, why not sell your brother's gift? No doubt you could spend the money for something that would give you real pleasure. INA ST. JOHN. A FALSE PROMISE -- Dear Miss St. John: I married a Jewish girl. She pro- fessed to turn Christian before the wedding. She now tells me that if we have children they must 4 brought up to the Hebrew beliefs. Can I divorce her? Thanking you, R.S.T. Answer: Consult a lawyer, Mr. R. S. T. We hope the matter will end happily for you. INA ST. JOHN. THE MINORITY, WE HOPE Dear Miss St. John: I keep a rooming house and I have a son of my own. There is talk of young men being wolves. What about the wolverines who visit their rooms, dance, play cards, smoke, drink and sit on their knees Sundays and any other time the boys are home? I have had to make a ruling, No girl visitors! Modest girls, indeed! MRS. M. Answer: Sometimes we wonder if the boys have a chance. However, they are able to take care.of them- selves, as long as landladies are as wise as you. INA ST. JOHN. Common Cold Affects More Women Than Men The common cold affects more women than men, and hits office em- ployees much harder than _ factory workers, according to a_ two-year study conducted by Joseph H. Kler, M.D., of New Brunswick, N.J. ~Dr. Kler's report, appearing in a re- cent issue of Archives of Otolaryng- ology, published by the American Medical Association, covers basic and detailed facts about the occurrence of the common cold in industry which, he said, is responsible for more than one-third of the total number of days lost in American factories. The study, among other things, dis- closed that: There is a definite pattern to the incidence of colds, with the highest peak in December and the lowest in July; There is a definite correlation be- tween temperature and the onset of colds, every sudden drop in tempera- ture being followed in a day or two by a rise in the number of colds; The highest incidence of colds was found in the age group 20 to 29 years and the lowest in the age group above 50 years. However, the percentage of time-losing colds increased with age; There were more colds among wo- men than among men; There were consistently more colds among office workers than among factory workers; . There were fewer colds in air condi- tioned plants, with the incidence of colds highest in drafty places; More colds start on Monday than on any other day of the week, this being especially true of colds among men; Posture is an important factor, with the incidence .and severity of colds lowest among those whose work ne- cessitates walking about most of the time; : Smoking apparently has little ef- fect on colds.
