Feeding the Fasti sly By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor ' It's a Crime What Some Cook Do to Fresh Vegealbles Fresh Spring vegetables piled high on produce coun ters make a mighty pretty sight these days. In the nat ural state or cooked quickly, they're jam-packed with good nutrition. Today we make a plea for the preserva tion of their fine health-giving qualities. If you love a vegetable, don't cook it to death. It's murder when some cooks get hold of a fresh vegetable. Many a cook's idea of vege table cookery is to drown the vegetable in a few quarts of water. Others boil It vigorous ly until It is limp and listless. Others pour all the vitamin and mineral nutrients down the drain. Brussels sprouts take a beat ing bouncing around in a ket- of soda is added. Teh, tch! Some cooks assassinate asymo gus, blackjack broccoli, com- ' mlt harl karl on carrots and ' cauliflower, massacre mush rooms, smother spinach - to name a few of the sins com mitted against fresh vege- . bles. Valuable Vifamim Vitamins are still being dis- ; covered and clues indicate that there are many nutrients ' lurking unknown and un named In foods. So no one really knows what Is being cooked to death and poured ' down the drain besides vita mins A and C and many mem bers of the B complex family, the list of which keeps growing Many Minerals ! Not only are vitamins put I out of commission but such fine minerals as calcium, phosphorus, iron, copper, magnesium, manganese, po tassium, sodium chloride (ta ble salt) and others which we probably can't spell and you d . probably have difficulty pro- . nounclng. - How To Save Them Vegetables, given an oppor tunity in the raw stale and In the saucepan contvibute much toward keeping the fam ily healthy, full of energy and pep. They brighten the eye, put pearl on the teeth, natural rouge on the cheeks, silken the hair, quicken the step. Fol low these simple rules for preservation of their vita mnD onH minprnls. Store perishables at low temperature In closed contain ers. Use soon. Keep the more hardy sta ples such as potatoes and on ions In a cool, dry place. . Scrub rather than pare whenever possible. If you . pare, keep parings thin. Don't soak vegetables in water. Rinse them quickly in cold running water. Don't crush or bruise. Bruises spoil texture and ap pearance, speed spoilage. Cook vegetables quickly In ; small amounts of water, being sure not to overcook. Do not add soda to vege tables under any circum stances. Save the cooking walcr which actually Is a vitamin . mineral packed pot liquor and use in soup, sauce or gravy.

Hearty Vegetable And Beef Stew We counted 34 fresh vege tables In local mnrkcts this morning; all of them western grown. We found good buys in fine quality lean beef al ready cut up and ready for stewing. We combined the goad protein-packed beef with a half dozen vitamln-and-min-eral-packed vegetables and the result is this taste-tingling recipe. Elgin servings. 2 pounds lean beef stew meal V4 cup flour 1 teaspoon salt Vi teaspoon ground black pepper 3 tablespoons shortening or beef suet V4 cup chopped onion. 1 whole bay leaf 5 cups boiling water 3 medium potatoes, i quartered 6 small whole onions 6 carrots, cut in half 1 cup sliced celery 1 cup sliced green beans 1 cup fresh peas Trim excess fat from meal and cut into one-Inch cubes If meatman hasn't done so. Combine flnur. the leasnoon salt and black pepper and toss wllh the meal. Melt shorten ing or beef suet In a Dutch oven or heavy saucepan. Add flour-coated meat, chopped on ions, and brown. Blend in all leftover flour. Add bay leaf and boiling water; cover. I Simmer until meal Is tender, about 1'4 hours. Add potatoes, whole onions, carrots, celery and beans and peas about 25 minutes before cooking lime is up. If canned or frozen beans or peas are used, delay adding them. If gravy is too thin, thicken It with one table spoon flour blended with two tablespoons walcr. You'll want horseradish and zesty pickles wllh this. Stuffed Poppers As Vegetable Dish Green peppers are most often stuffed with meat or fish. Here we offer them as a distinctive vegetable for serving with meat or fish.
