Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Tiny Seasoning Spice Seeds Add Flavor Texture to Prize Recipes Spices, herbs and seeds are nature's own products. Spices are parts of aromatic plants grown in the tropics; herbs re fer to leaves of aromatic plants grown in the temperate zone; seeds refer to the fruit or seeds of herb plants. In the art of cooking, these are magic pig ments without which our culi nary creations would be dull and lifeless. Imaginative use of one of the world's oldest but little used spices recently won a S25,000 prize for a Washington, D. C. homemaker for recipe using ses ame seed. This resulted in an awakened interest in all "sea soning seeds" and considerable increase in their use. Long prized by professional bakers and chefs, spice seeds are often overlooked by the homemaker. We suggest that you put in a supply of caraway, poppy, sesame, celery and per haps some of the others men tioned here. They cost a trifle. . Ways With Caraway Seed Probably most familiar of the seeds, the caraway has a faint ly licorice flavor. They are long, curved, brown colored and grown mostly in Holland. Bak ing uses for caraway, led by rye bread are well known. Cookies, pies and cakes can be delicately seasoned with these potent brown seeds. Children love that licorice taste. These are a natural with egg and cheese dishes; scrambled eggs, souffles, rarebits. Sprinkle them over fried potatoes. Celery stuf fed with caraway cream cheese is fine appetizer. Used with sauerkraut, cara way seeds are traditional but other vegetables take to them equally well. Give spinach new flavor with them. Try them with carrots and seven-minute cab bage. Ways With Poppy Seed While the tiny poppy seeds, so small that the American Spice Trade Association esti mates that there are 900,000 to a single pound , are most gen erally used in bakery products, they add nutty flavor to pickles, preserves and are increasingly popular in ways like these. Poppy seed and all macaroni products are good companions and they are delicious when sprinkled over canapes. Salads and soups take on interesting texture if a spoonful or so of this spice is added. Use them in your next graham cracker pie crust. Fold into a simple cake batter; sprinkle over cookies. Ways With Sesame Seed Sesame, the seed of an arom atic East Indian herb is a tasty addition to a tossed green or any vegetable salad or sprinkled over a fruit compote or salad. Mix with cooked fresh vegetables or use as nut-like adjunct to macaroni, spaghetti and egg noodles. Add seasame seed to your next batch of biscuits and cause favorable comment. Other Seasoning Seed Anise Seed. Licorice-flavored. Good cookies, candies, sweet pickles and as beverage flavor ing. Sprinkle on coffee cakes, sweet rolls. Cardamon Seed. Tiny brown seeds used whole in pickling spice. Ground, it flavors Danish pastry, rolls, coffee cakes, im- SEASONING SEEDS We turn spring's spotlight on the tiny seasoning seeds, sesame, caraway, poppy, celery and others that add much to the art of modern cokery.

March 10, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Chinese Warn U 5 On Finnish Tsnker London U.R) Communist China has warned the United States it will have to bear the full responsibility if it "dares" to back any attempt to intercept a Finnish tanker reported head ed for China with a cargo of jet fuel. The New China News Agency broadcast a sharp reply to U.S. diplomatic action over the voy age of the 10,382-ton tanker Aruba with kerosene from the oil fields of Communist Ro mania. An editorial in the official Communist party newspaper Peoples Daily admitted that "the cargo carried by the tanker is the property of the Chinese people" and attacked any U.S. attempts to intercept it as "piracy." Russia Said Trailing U S in Plane Building Washington (U.R) Russia has long range jet bombers si milar to the U.S. Air Force's B32 and B47 bombers, but in formed sources claim that the Soviet production schedule is substantially behind that of the United States. On May Day last year, the Sovets first displayed their two new types of bombers. One is known as type 39 and is a me dium bomber similar to the B47. The other is type 37 comparable in size to the B52 heavy bomber. But officials do not believe the Russians have built the bombers in great numbers yet. The Air Force will not say how many wings of B47s it has, but there are several of them in operation now. LET OWNER BEWARE Hartford, Conn. (U.R) A. M.
