OLD FASHIONED GREENS MAKE RED BLOOI Dandelion, Lamb's-Quarter, Wild Mus tard, or Garden Greens Should Not Be Overlooked These Spring Days -Leaves of These Crops Fur nish Another Useful Sub stance Not Yet Named It is springtime! Don't ne lect' tc give your family some good old-fash ioned greens. If you live in a large city, you may have to depend upon the greens which some country woman brings to market or upon spinach or kale, which can usually be bought even in winter. If you live in the country perhaps your matince has already told you that the tender green leaves of the dandelion, lamb's quarter, wild mustard, or whatever variety of greens your locality affords are wait ing for someone to gather them for food. People from primitive times to this have manifested a craving for green food as winter passes and springtime approaches. Probably this craving arises from a real need of our bodies for the materials which such foods furnish. What is the particular use of such , foods to our bodies? All green leaves contain in combination with the green coloring matter more or less iron. If we are to have a rich, red blood we must furnish this iron for our bodies. Dandelion greens are one of the very good sources of iron, containing more than many other sorts of green leaves. If we serve greens with hard-boiled egg for garnish, we have a dish very rich in iron, for the egg yolk con tributes its share. Besides the iron and other mineral salts, the leaf vegetables contain a very important substance which the body must have for normal growth and development. This substance, recently discovered and for which a name has not yet been given, its also found in butter fat and some other animal fats, but not in every food. Greens have a place of real worth in the diet and should be used in every household not only in springtime but late into the summer and, when pro curable, in the winter also. The ten der beet tops, celery tops, radish tops, onion tops, and turnip tops should not be discarded, but served as greens. A little spac2 in the garden devoted to spinach, New ealandspinach, or Frhnch chard will supply the family with sum mer greens and also should afford some material for canning for use dur ing the winter months. Lettuce leaves, which are some times cooked for greens, and spinach, both being mild flavored and contain. ing mluch water, require no water for cooking in addition to that which clings to the leaves from washing. Other stronger-flavored greens are ustinlly cooked in a small amount of water.

A platter heaped with loose 5 flaky kernels of rice is not only pleas- t ing to the eye, but satisfying to the t appetite. It is very probable that the attractive appearance of this dish on the South Carolina table has much to do with the popularity and usefulness of rice in that State. In seeking information on the art of c cooking rice, no mistake is made in re- d ferring to South Carolina, where the p true value of this cereal has been an preciated for over two centuries, Carolina housewife would advise' the i using of 1 pint of rice, after thorough a washing, which she considers impor- h tant, "to a quart andl a pint of water." o andl a teaspoonful of common salt. "This is to be boiled over a quick fire for ten minutes, stirring occasiona lly. Then pour eff all or nearly all tile $ water; cover the vessel and put over a very slow fire, andl allow it to steam o~ for fifteen minutes at least, stirring ai occasionally. The rice wvill be soft or 71 .gr~tiny, accordling to the quantity of A water left on it when put to steam, r and the length of time allowed in the si steaming. The larger the quantity tI of water and the shorter the steamin , the softer will be the rice." .Of course. other methods are usedl in boiling rice, or at least mod ifica tions of the ;eipe given, but it must be~ remnemberedl that the results should aot he a glutinous mass and that sue. erws~ dependls uplon~ the proper a mount ta of wtrter used and the length of time dli NW VTSING IIUA IIEAD al Pek ing-Mr. Fan Yuan- Lien, former ch m~iin ister of eduica'.ion, has been ap-. ja )oimtedl acting president of Tfsing lIuai wi iollege to succeed D~r.
