The legend of the Christmas
stocking is that St. Nicholas
threw gold coins down the chim
ney. They fell into the sto
ckings drying there. Gold coins
have been replaced with gold
goodies—oranges and tangeri
nes. If you have trouble keep
ing the children or grandchild
ren from wanting to bounce out
of bed early Christmas morning
try this. Instead of hanging the
stockings by the fireplace or
ree, hang them on their bed.
Vitamin C All Through The Day, Every Day
' you missed your vitamin C
at reakfast . . .You can split
the vitamin C for the day be
tween lunch and dinner, break
fast and dinner, or you can
split it 3 ways with some at
each meal.
A salad can easily provide
half of the day’s vitamin C from
a variety of ingredients. One
medium-sized California or
ange for 3 portions of salad
is a good starting point. One
third of an orange alone gives
about 1/3 of the amount of the
vitamin C recommended per day
for adults and childrenof most
ages.
By adding fresh salad greens
and salad dressing prepared
with fresh lemon juice, or com
mercial salad dressing with
added lemon juice, or just lemon
juice and seasoned salt, each
adult can get close to half
(30 milligrams) of his day’s
vitamin C.
