Nutrition Nuggets In planning meals, remember that the successful meal features variety not only in food, but in texture of the food, in color and in flavor. No meal is as appetizing as it should be it it is made up entirely of soft food, if it i# too bland in flavor, or it it is all white in color, . For instance, in serv- add something hage salad. Seek for contrasts and color, but remember that the colors must blend. Cultivate the use of a great number of flavoring extracts and condiments as they can be used ke inexpensive foods appetizing. “abbage is one of the most im- portant and the most valuable of the Winter vegetables. Fresh cabbage is firm and white in color. Raw cab- bage is as a rule easy to digest and can be served in a number of ways. Finely chopped or shredded and served alone or combined with other foods. it makes a delightful Winter salad and should be used several times a week to insure good health and proper elimination. Rrussels sprouts belong to the same Most people cook Rrussels sprouts too long and for that reason they are often considered in. digestible. These should not be cooked more than 20 to 25 minutes. Boiling water should always be used in cooking vegetables, and cabhage or Brussels sprouts are best cooked un- covered. Sea foods have been found to be an excellent source of fodin and can be used in the diet to supply this very indispensable element. Oysters and clams are espacially rich in iodin and in addition are easily digested. The Winter months are best for sea foods of this type and it is a good plan to try including them at least once a week In the family bill of fare. Can- ned salmon has also been found to be a good source of fodin and its conven-. lence makes it a valuable food for the busy housekeeper. Nuts are very concentrated food and because they are rich in protein and fat they are valuable as sources of anergy and of building material. Com- bined with fruits, they make dellc salads that are rich in food value and that are easily digested if the nuts are cut in amall pieces and are thoroughly masticated.

STEADY HOLIDAY BUYING 1S FEATURE IN MARKETS Apparently the toy and gift counters have taken precedence over the food counters 8o far this week. This does not mean that the Washington public has not been pur- chasing the usual supply ot table de- lectables, but it has been the steady sort of buy- ing rather than a concentrated at- tack on the deal- ers. Stores through- out the city report that foodstuffs have been moving with the usual hol- tday celesity, but nothing resembling extraordinary buy- ing has becn ob- served. More and more there I8 a tendency toward local or nelghborhood buying, and as some of these community stores are in scat- tered districts and others in densely populated localitles it fs difficult to check accurately on the general mar- ket situation so far as prices are con- cerned. "Again, the class of purchasers in the various communities must be con- sldered; that is, so far family finances are concerned. Fancy ducks, for example, which might be regarded a8 a luxury In one neighborhood, are | on the regular weekly menu in an- other locality. Not every one can afford Florida strawberries at $2 per quart, but there are those who are able and willing to purchase such delicacics. Aside from strawberries, there is but one other rare species of produce on the market, and that is new California broccoli, a first cousin of the asparagus and cauli- flower family, this vegetable selling for 35 cents {o 40 cents a pound. This is only the third year broccoll has been available, Peas, which were scarce a few weeks ago and consequently brought high prices, are again plentiful and may ba had for 30 cents a pound. Cali- fornia tomatoes have arrived on the Washington market and are selling for 25 to 30 cents a pound. This is 5 to 10 cents a pound more than last week. Malaga grapes are a trifle higher, selling for 50 to 60 cents a pound; red grapes, 25 to 30 cents a pound. According to one poultry dealer, there are more turkeys on the market this season than have been seen in 35 years, Not only an exceptional quantity of them, but an unusual quality. The prices of this king of fowls remain stable, bringing 60 to 65 PLANNING A WEEK’S FOOD With Christmas and with a holiday | cooked just before serving Monday, there will ba considerable planning of the family food. A Christ- mas dinner as given in the menu can ba much of it prepared the day For instance, the turkey can stuffed, trussed and made ready for the oven. Then kept in the ice hox until time for cooking: the cclery can ba cleaned and Kept crisp in the ice box. Cranberry felly may be made the grapes and almonds prepared for the salad, but not mixed before serv ing. Plum pudding should, of course, be made several weeks ahead of time, it homemade. There are, very excellent canned plum puddings on the market that require only heat ing to serve. The grapefruit can be cut in half ‘and prepared the night before, if it can be kept in a cold place; otherwise it is better to do it early in the morning of Christmas day. Supper on Christmas night has been planned as a very simple affair, Usually Christmas dinner is a rather Iate and lengthy meal, and a sandwich supper, served buffet style, is much easier on the housewife and better for the digestion of the family. Wa have pianned holled tongue for Monday night, as that is a meat that can ba bought ahead of time and kept | rot, a tiny piece of garlic, two whole | desired, put it back in the water after however, | very easily. It may be boiled on urday and reheated for Monday, or cents a pound for fresh killed. Frozen turkeys are selling for 40 cents a pound. Long Island celery-fed ducks are higher, costing 50 cents a_pound, while domestic or nearhy ducks may be obtained for 40 cents a pound. Chicken prices have not moved— baking size, 456 cents a pound; frying size, 45 cents a pound; stewing size, 40 cents a pound. Excellent milk fed chickens bring 45 cents a pound. Some unusually fine apples may be found on the market and in the stores, varying, of course, in price and spe- cles. Among them are fancy cooking apples from Vir- ginia, sclling 3 pounds for 25 cents, Ordinary soking apples at cents for 4 pounds, Eating ap- ples may be had for 5 and 10 cents, small lady apples, ainty as June re not only to the eye but tasty to the palate. They are selling for 50 cents a dozen, 10 cents higher than two weeks ago. The egg and but- ter market re- mains the same—eggs, 60 to 75 cents; butter, 60 to 65 cents. American cheese 1s bringing 45 cents a pound, and imported 70 cents to $1 a pound. There appears to be a plentiful sup- ply of potatoes, selling at 15 cents a pound. Generally speaking, the ordi- nary vegetable prices have not fluc- tuated. Florida out-of-doors and Bos- ton hothouse cucumbers are 20 cents aplece; celery cabbage, 20 cents a stalk; local carrots, 5 cents a bunch; California carrots, 10 cents a bunch; local egg plant, 10 cents; Florlda egg plant, 20 cents; new cabbage, 10 cents a_‘pound; California fresh asparagus, 75 cents to $1.25 a bunch; okra, % cents a quart; beets, 5 cents a bunch; Summer squash, 10 cents a pound. Californla honeydews and Casaba mel- ons are especially good, and are bring- ing 75 cents. Meat prices are firm, with practi- cally no change during the past few weeks. Veal roast, 30 and 40 cents; lamb shoulder, 30 cents; best grade porterhouse, and 60 cents; sirloin, 50 cents, round, 40 cents; prime ribs, 35, 40 and 45 cents, depending on_cut: chuck, 30 cents; three-cor nered, 30 cents; prime loin pork chops, 35 cents: prime roast pork, 30 cents; corned beef, 15 to cents; beet liver, 20 cents; veal cutists, 70 cents: breast of lamb, 18 centst calf'is liver, home dressed, 70 cents, Smoked tongues are much better if soaked for several hours before cooking. Try this method of cooking the tongue: Cover with cold water and soak for several hours. Then drain, cover with fresh old water, Add one onion, diced car- cloves and a small piece of bay leaf. Heat slowly to the boiling point and cook slowly, allowing one-half hour for each pound of meat | When the tongue is done, remove it from the water, skin it and rve hot with raisin sauce: or, if cold tongue is | kinning and let stand until cold. This keeps the tongue from drying out and | makes it mueh better in flavor. The leftover turkey is served on | Tuesday finstead of Monday, to i the family a rest in between.
