Quick Cooking Saves Vegetable Nutrients The greatest loss of nutrients re sults from improper cooking, espe cially vitamin C since it is readily 1 i soluble in water, according to Ex tension nutritionists. Vegetables should be cooked quickly so as tc! prevent loss. If vegetables are cut; in pieces for cooking, they should be cut lengthwise, as less nutrients | bleed out than when cut crosswise, j Acids in citrus fruits and toma | toes protect ascorbic acid (vitamin C) from total destruction. Soda de- ( j stroys this vitamin; therefore, it s I should never be used in vegetables j or soups. Fresh vegetables should be start ed cooking in boiling water (if any| is used), or at a high temperature.' If no water is used, vegetables ' should be turned over at first to pre vent scorching and to cook uniform ly, but they should be exposed to i air as little as possible for example, tender greens, such as spinach, cab j bage and others. The best methods for cooking veg | etables to prevent loss of vitamin C, as well as some other vitamins and minerals are: Stemming, baking and boiling in a small amount of water, the amount depending on age and tenderness of vegetables. Recent nu j trition research has shown that po-1 j tatoes lose less vitamin C when | | steamed or boiled, in the skins, than 1 j when baked. Contrary Behavior Marks Conduct of Comanches Among the Comanche Indians were the “contrary ones” who made a fetish of doing everything back wards, says a study of “The Psy | chological Frontiers of Society” by I Kardiner. “Contrary, back | ward behavior is common among , Plains Indian tribes and frequently goes with membership in men’s war societies of high rank, usually named Crazy Horse Societies. There was no such society among the Co manche, but there were ‘contrary’ individuals. “These ‘contrary ones’ smeared | themselves with ashes or white paint j and kept up their backward behavior around camp all the time. When it was cold they complained of the heat and took off their clothes. They were continually playing practical jokes. “Once an old woman asked a ‘contrary one’ to get her a buffalo robe. He said, ‘No, I won’t,’ the equivalent of saying he would. He disappeared for several days and then brought back the skin of a Paw nee which he hung over the fence in front of the old woman’s lodge. The skin scared the old woman when I she came out in the twilight and | saw it. Other people said, ‘Didn’t! you have sense enough not to ask a j contrary one to do anything for you? They are always joking.’ ” I, " Canadian Railway During the five years and four months of war, from the beginning of September, 1939, to December 31, 1944, the Canadian National Railway System carried on a gigantic work for the people of Canada and their Allies. Train miles traveled during the period, freight and passenger, aggregated more than 330 million. Measured in car miles, the total i is nearly 10 billion. Freight amount ed to more than 433 million tons. More than 132 million passengers were carried—greater than 10 times the entire population of Canada. More than four million troops were transported, requiring 6,540 special trains. Special trains for war in dustry workers carried 37 million passengers. Canadian National din ing cars served an average of nearly j 11,000 meals a day, a total of more ! than 21 million. The company’s 12 hotels accommodated more than three million guests. Upwards of 14 million hotel meals were served. Purchases made by the railway i amounted to considerably more than ; $500,000,000. ( Mixing Proteins Plant protein is not as complete I as animal protein because it does I not contain all the material needed for tissue building and repair. But in many dishes, one protein can sup plement another, and the resulting dishes will be high in nutrients. For example, a bowl of cereal and milk contains both plant and animal pro tein, the animal protein in the milk supplementing the cereal. The same is true of meat and vegetable stews, macaroni and cheese, milk and egg I custard corn pudding, and other j dishes of this sort. A little high-qual- I ity protein raises the value of the cereal and vegetable prepared with it. The thing to do in this emergen cy is to spread out the animal pro teins, adding them in small amounts to the more plentiful proteins from plant foods. Nail Polish Use nail polish to touch up chips j on your enameled dish pan, mark j kitchen gadgets taken picnicking, repair the rubber dish drainer ! where the rubber has worn through and rust has started, and to make i stiff new tips for fuzzy shoelace j ends. Colorless nail polish coated on ; purses, belts, cigaret cases and I compacts keeps them looking new and shiny and prevents costume j jewelry and watches from leaving j telltale marks on the skin. But tons which have lost their luster in laundering come back glossy as new with the help of colorless' pol j ish. Our GINNING Service Guarantees A Good Sample This means more money for every bale.
