On top of these good .-' qualities, peach custard, shortcake, which comes from the ex perimental kitchen run by the Agriculture Department, is very simple to make.

I PPWTITV WTT1HTM r Ta cent experiments have -shown that rose hips, black currants and pine needles contain amazing amounts of vitamin C. However, we can't eat black currants every day, and rose hips, and, pine needles certainly aren't customary articles of diet, so most of us will have to continue to depend on more familiar sources for our dally supply of vitamin C. Oranges and grapefruit are well-known foe their valuable vitamin C content, but people are not so aware of the fact that green vegetables contain vitamin C, vitamin A and iron, too. Broccoli, a delicacy of the cab bage family, has a high rating. Raw broccoli, says the Nutrition Division, taken weight for weight, contains 2 Vi times as much vitamin C and 11 times as much vitamin A as do oranges Broccoli is also an excellent source of iron. Because vitamin C Is so easily destrdyed In cooking, the nutritionists emphasize the importance of using a minimum of water and. cooking the greens only until tender.
