PAGE TWO arEDFOKD MATL TTtTBUyE. EDFOR. OREGON. FRIDAY. yOTTrBETt 2. 1934' The Autumn Vegetables Rich Source Vitamin A By Bureau of Home Economic, V, S., water and drain. Wath tha rlca Dfpartmcnt of Agriculture drain and dry. Brown In fat, add the The autumn leaves am not more , me tock, cover, and cook until nee 11 tender. Add me onion, pepper gorgeous than the autumn vegetables. Such yellows, and such reda and greens u the market displays now that frost has come! The squashes steal the show, but the rich old gold of the pumpkins la not to be over looked, nor the flashing red and green of the peppers. There la yellow agalo In the carrots, softer tones in the rutabagas, and h brown coat covers over the yellow of the sweet potato. Then you come to a purple patch "red' cabbage la plentiful now, along with the new green cabbage heads. Those colors mean something, too. The yellows and greens especially, and some of the reds, says the Bu reau of Home Economics of the TJ. S, Department of Agriculture. And this Is why: One of many discoveries about foods In the last few years has to do with the coloring. In the green leaves and sterna of plants, In the yellow roots, also in the yellow fruits, la a yellow pigment called carotene. Now It la discovered that carotene. In the animal body, turns Into vitamin A. When cows have good green pos ture and good hay all winter, their milk la rich In vitamin A. Whan hens have plenty of green foods, the yolks of their eggs are richer In vita min A. So we get vitamin A both ways, because we eat both vegetable and animal foods. When we eat green or yellow vege tablesand certain red ones we get carotene, which turns into vitamin A, probably In the liver. When we drink milk or eat eggs or butter or liver, or salmon, we get vitamin A Itself, made from the carotene In the green food of the cow or the hen, the calf or the pig or the lamb or the fish, as the case may be. And It la fortunate for us that we can get It from more than one source. Without vitamin A we would1 be In a very bad way Indeed with Infections ol nose, throat, eyes, ean. sinuses, and. In fact, ail the lining of the various glands and internal organs of the body. To put It in scientific language, "the function of vitamin A In the body la to maintain the integrity of the epithelial tis sues" and those tissues are lining. As an extra protection for them we give to the children and often to ourselves, likewise, either cod liver or halibut liver oil, whtcn are exceed ingly rich In vitamin A that comes apparently from carotene in the green sea planta the fishes eat. In green leaves, the yellow color of the carotene seems lost In the green, but It la there. So In the red pepper. or the tomato, It seems lost In the red. But It la there, as you know II you have ever mixed paints, lu the yellow squash, of course; the pump kin, carrot, yellow turnip and sweet potato, the yellow stands out for Itself. The green and yollow vegetables have other food values, of course, They furnish other vitamins, and several of the minerals we need. Thuy are important also because they help to keep the balance between the acid and the alkaline foods we seat the green and the yellow vegetables are non-acid, or alkaline-forming foodb. They also furnish bulk, which the di gestive tract demands. But right now, with winter coming on. It is very well to remember that the vegetables rich in carotene keep your linings In good condition and help you to avotU colds or other Infections that attack those parta of the body in particular. But now to go to the kitchen. Whn you serve white potatoes and greens, you are getting good returns lor your money, because you have in that combination all the vitamins, especlslly vitamins A and B, and sev eral mln-srla, particularly calcium and iron. Not all you need of each for the day, but a good start In that di rection. When you serve aweet pota toes and greens, you get the same food values, but more of vitamin A and a little leas Iron than you get In the white potato combination. It Is not economical to serve white potatoes and sweet potatoea at the same meal, because In those two you get so many of the same kind of food values. But you are not duplicating I too much If you serve either kind of potatoea with carrot or turnips. Cook them in different ways, of course, to look more inviting baked potatoes and diced carrots or turnips, say; or creamed potatoes with raw carrot sticks. Carrots are the best of all the yel low vegetables for carotene and hence vitamin A. bquakh comes next, then pumpkin and yellow turnips. Among the leafy vegetablea, the greener they are the mora carotene. New green cabbages are a better source than the whiter heads. Collards are good, and they are a standby in iho south all winter. Turnip greens, too, are hardy enough to grow wU Into the winter. The pepper family Is a good source of carotene and also of vitamins B and C. Or een peppers and red pep pers are equally good. ao what shall we have for a vitamin A dinner? Stuffed peppeit (seasoned rice or breadcrumb stulllng with grat ed cheesei, creamrd potatoes, and raw carrot sticks would be good and also cheap. And you might add, 11 you cared to, pumpkin pie for des sert. But that Is only one meal. For a steady diet, at least one green or yellow vegetable every day. say the pedal lata, is nettled to provide you with the carotene iieeensary to keep up your supply of vitamin A.

LOUIS (UP) Tht old-fssh- loned truant officer with hi, big tic, terrifying children who played hookey" from school, la disappear ing fast. He Is giving way to scientific so cial workers, who attempt to deter mine why children do not want to go to school. The rhsngc. according to William L. Bodlne, director of attendance of flclsla of the Chicago Board of Edu cation, has been brought about prin cipally by the National League ol Compulsory education, which held Its annual meeting here this year. Dr. Bodlne. who founded the league In 1011. said that modern methods used by compulsory educa tion qfflciais tried to reveal the causes of truancy and delinquency with a view towsrd correction. Especially bitter was Bodlne toward Juvenile court conviction of minors "This court should be expanded to a family court where they could prosecute 'Ma' and 'Pa1 more and the children less," he said. Teachers who assign too much homework also enme under Bodlne's criticism of misdirected education. i CALLS BUDGET BACK ACCOUNT PAY RAISE SAXiCM, Nov. a.ypin a tele gram to Charles M.
