For the limited food budget, the Bureau of Home
.Economics points out the following possibilities in
the winter market:
Cabbage heads the list for protective values
It is stored for winter use. it is always cheap, and
it is served raw' or cooked in many ways.
Turnips and collards can be had most of the year
In mild climates. Spinach is cheap in some 'locali
ties, and so is kale.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes are high in pro
tective value. Irish potatoes furnish vitamin C
sweet potatoes, vitamins A and C. Yellow turnips
and carrots are rich in vitamin A Dried beans and
peas supply minerals, vitamins, and protein.
Tcmatoes, canned or fresh, rank with cabbag:
and other green leafy vegetables as protective foods
Their vitamin value is about the same as that 01
oranges and grapefruit. Canned tomatoes anc
tomato juice may be used when fruit is scarce.
The citrus fruits—oranges, tangerines, grapefruit
lemons — are rich sources of vitamins. Raisins,
prunes, and dried apricots are especially important
lor their iron. Among the cheaper canned fruits,
peaches and pineapple retain much of the food
value of the fresh fruit.
Do not fail to eat vegetables and fruit as regular
ly in winter as in summer, says the Bureau. The
more limited the family purse, the more un
economical it is to spend food money for a one-sided
diet, too heavy with breads, cereals, fats, and sweets,
and lacking in vegetables and fruits.
The controversy over "Technocracy" suggests the
stir made by Einstein's Relativity. It was said that
there were only ten persons in th? United States
that understood it. Then it was discovered that
there were two more. Thsn came the further dis
covery that if the last two understood it the other
ten did not.
