You can depend on the spe
cial sales the merchants of *

columns of this paper .They
mean money saving to our
readers. It always pays to
patronize the merchants
who advertise. They are
not afraid of their mer
chandise or their prices.
The time may come when we will
get all our vitamins In little pellets,
but I doubt it—
not when eating
vegetables is as
much fun as It is.
There would be a
big gap in our
meals
if such
things as tender

disappeared
the dinner table,
Success in cooking vegetables de-
pends on such small things—the
amount of water in the pan, whether
the cover is on or off, whether the
vegetables are removed from the
heat when they are just tender or
allowed to continue cooking until
they become slightly mushy.
Remember, it’s "covers off,” for
all green-colored vegetables. Then
the acids which are given off during
cooking are not held in the pan
where they turn the brilliant green
color to a dull olive. To keep the
vitamins in the vegetables instesd
of losing them in the cooking water
use just as little liquid as possible.
For mild-flavored vegetables an
inch of water in the bottom of the
pan to keep the pieces from burn
ing is ample. Vegetables like spin
ach. which contain a great deal of
water, should be cooked in the mois
ture which clings to the leaves after
washing.
And if you value your vitamins,
never, never discard the liquid from
canned vegetables. Place it in a
saucepan, heat until the liquor evap
orates to about one-half, then add
the vegetable and heat to serving
temperature.

American Gloves
Wash Beautifully
American-made gloves, doeskins,
suedes and mochas wash beautiful
ly, and here's the way it is done—
exactly the way our manufacturers
of leather gloves tell everyone to
wash them.
Make a bowlful of good thick suds
with lukewarm water and a pure
mild soap or soap kakes, being sure
that every bit of the flakes is dis
solved. Then putting on the gloves,
wash them just as though you were
washing your hands.
Next rinse
them in clear lukewarm water and
then make another bowlful of lighter
suds for the final time. If they hap
pen to be glace-finished gloves, cape
skin or pigskin, the final rinse should
be clear, cool water instead of soapy
water.
Rolling and coaxingly pushing the
gloves off your hands, put them in
a turkish towel, pressing out the ex
cess moisture.
Then stretch out
the fingers a bit, blow in the gloves
and lay them on a turkish towel to
dry—never on a radiator or other
hot surface. Just before they are
dry. finger press them, working the
leather, especially inside the gloves,
with your fingers so as to make it
soft and pliable.
And that’s all there is to it! You
can even wash your colored gloves
if the leathers have been tanned in
this country. Put a teaspoon of vine
gar in each basin of water as this
helps keep the color. Some of the
color may bleed out, but if your
gloves are not badly soiled, so that
you can wash them quickly, the
amount of color that comes out
won’t make any difference and it
will not be streaked.
Just one warning! Don’t ever rub
soap on your gloves. And don't use
