Feeding the Family
By ZOLA VINCENT
rood Editor
Ariichokej Beckon
An artichoke is a Ihistle
"like plant of the same family
as thistles, sunflowers and
lettuce, is cultivated for its
flowering head that is gather
ed before the flower expands.
Artichokes have been culti
vated in the Mediterannean
area for thousands of years.
Today, all artichokes grown
commercially in the United
Slates are grown in the Half
Moon Bay district and a five
county area south of San
Francisco.
Artichokes are mostly mar
keted fresh though a small
percentage is canned or frozen
as artichoke hearts. They're
available all year but now
we are going into a season of
abundance that will last until
May.
How to Cook
This is for newcomers to
our area. Wash artichokes;
trim stems to one inch; pull
off tough outer leaves and
snip off tips of remaining
leaves. Place artichokes in
one inch of boiling water; add
lemon juice allowing l'i tea
spoons for each artichoke.
Sprinkle each artichoke with
one-fourth teaspoon salt. Cov
er tightly and cook 20 to 45
minutes depending on size of
artichokes or until stems can
easily be pierced with two-tine
fork. Immediately turn archi
chokes upside down to drain.
We personally cook arti
chokes with some pickling
spices tossed into the cooking
water; pour a bit of olive or
salad oil into their hearts
while cooking.
Serve one small or medium
size artichoke per person.
Larger artichokes are cooked
-as indicated here, then cut in
two, the "choke" removed
and served "on the half
shell."
How to Eat
Newcomers frankly ask
"how do you eat these?" Old
timers say that artichokes are
eaten with the fingers. Each
leaf is pulled off and dipped
in the accompanying sauce
and the tender end of the leaf
is eaten. When leaves have
all been stripped off, the
choke is removed, the tender
base is cut into pieces, dipped
into the sauce and eaten with
a fork.
Favored Sauces
No matter what we say,
most hot artichokes are likely
to be served with lemon but
ter, preserving their fine dis
tinctive flavor; cold arti
chokes are likely to be served
with mayonnaise or with
mayonnaise and dairy sour
cream, half and half.
Lemon Butter. For each
eight servings, simply com
bine one-half cud lemon and
one-half cup softened butter,
two tablespoons water and
one-half teaspoon paprika;
heat and serve. Or add one
teaspoon tarragon or a tiny
bit of garlic powder, if you
like.
Hollandaise Sauce. Our
easiest of all Hollandaisc-type
sauce is made like this: In a
saucepan, combine one stick
butter, three slightly beaten
egg yolks and three table
spoons lemon juice; let set
for 45 minutes or so. Heat,
over very low flame, stirring
constantly for l'i to 3 min
utes until desired consistency.
This can be made ahead of
time, stored in refrigerator
and gently reheated for hot
vegetable. Good party spread,
too.
Spicy Tomato Sauce. A re
cently arrived easterner
dreamed this up and many
will like it though we're stick
ing to lemon butter. Combine
one large tomato, chopped,
one-half cup chili sauce, one
tablespoon prepared horse
radish, one-fourth cup vine
gar, salt, pepper and one
fourth grated onion; mix well.
Cover and cook over low heat,
stirring occasionally, for 30
minutes.
Golden Apple Sauce
Cake Is Super Special
This quickly-made cake Is
super in several ways. It's
made with a package of white
cake mix: has baked-on top
ping that combines apple
sauce, coconut and raisins.
Sec what we mean? Serve
warm or cold.
1 package whitT cake mix
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups (1 can) canned apple
sauce
I cup flaked coconut
' j cup light brown sugar
1 4 cup melted butter or
marearine
1 cup white raisins
Prepare cake mix according
to directions on packace: add
almond extract Combine ap
ple sauce, coconut, brown
sugar, butter or margarine
and raisins. Pour one-half ap
ple sauce mixture in 2 greased
9x9x2 inch cake pans.
Cover with cake batter, divid
ing evenly between two pans.
Bake in moderate oven. 375
eegrees. 25 to 30 minutes.
Cool three minutes on rack.
Turn out up-ide down on
cake plate or platter
Quick Corn Reliih
There's scarcely a meal
Will wheat when a relish
wouldn't be the perfect touch.
Here we make a quick corn
relish starting with a 12
ounce-can or frozen package
oi whole kernel corn.
2 cups (12-ounce can) whole
kernel corn, drained
ij cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon instant minced
onion
tablespoons salad oil i
tablespoons cider vinegar i
tablespoons diced green i
pepper
tablespoon diced pimiento .
I l lauiespuon prepared
mustard i
Salt
1 teaspoon salad herb mix
Combine all ingredients;
toss to mix well. Chill several
hours before serving. This
will keep well in refrigerator
if you want to make some up
for future use or if you have
some left o er. Store in any
glass or refrigerator jar.
Candy That Grows On
Trees Now Abundant
Known as "the candy that
grows on trees," dates were
cultivated in Mesopo t a m i a
(modern Iraq) as far back as
3500 B.C. They grow today in
the same (kind of) palms so
often mentioned by classic
writers and in the Scriptures.
Dates came to California
with early Spanish, mission
aries and have been eaten
fresh hereabouts ever since.
Season of commercial crop
abundance is right now and
all the way through the
month of May.
Dale Bread
This is the classic California
fresh date bread recipe that is
almost a fruit cake. It slices
perfectly; is delicious for a
sandwich especially when
spread with softened cream
cheese. It makes a fine bar
cookie by cutting the slices
into thirds. The dales keep it
moist and fresh.
3 cups fresh California
dates
2 cups walnut halves
1 cup flour
i teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder'
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 eggs, separated
Pit dales and leave whole.
In mixing bowl, sprinkle dates
and nuts with flour, salt and
baking powder which have
been sifted together: mix
well. Then stir in sugar and
vanilla and mix well. Beat
egg yolks and pour over the
mixture. Then beat the egg
whites until stiff and fold
into the mixture. Prepare a
9x5x3 inch loaf pan with
a lining of waxed paper and
then grease it. Pour in butler
and bake at a slow tempera
ture, 300 degrees, about V
hours. Cool before slicing.
Peach Supreme
For a delicious, easy-to-make
dessert, combine sliced
fresh or canned peaches with
dairy sour cream; add a little
confectioners' sugar to taste;
flavor with a few drops pure
vanilla extract and chill.
Serve in pretliesl dishes or
sherbet glasses.

Service Gives Remedy
For 'Salted-Up' Soil
College Slation. Tex. - HOT
- The Texas Agriculture ex
tension service reports grow
ing salt content in irrigation
water can cause poor soil
structure, trapping of water
and poisoning of crops if not
contained.
Symptoms of excess sails
in the soil are yellowed leaves,
shedding and stunted growth,
the service reports. To reme
dy "salting-up" of soil, farm
ers need to leach the soil,
irrigate more often, plant salt
tolerant crops and use crop
ping practices, the service
said.
ARTICHOKES New season artichokes are arriving in mar
kets at surprisingly small cost. In today's food column, arti
chokes are discussed . . . where they came from, how to
enjoy them most and a variety of ways to serve them.

Prefrontal Lobotomy
Years ago, a Portuguese
physician (Dr. Moniz) showed
that if an instrument is passed
pvjW" ."4 into the brain
through a lit
tilc hole in the
side of ihc
,.J& ( moved up and ;
' r : down so as to

i ' fro,lt part o
EXV J t he brain
Alvarez from the back
part, a violent mental patient
may become calm and amen
able to treatment.
For several years there
musl have been thousands of
these operations performed in
mental hospitals. Some promi
nent psychiatrists were en
thusiastic about the results,
while others hated the oper
ation. They said that too often
it made of the patient a sort
of human vegetable, and
sometimes an unpleasant one.
Some enthusiasts even per
formed the operation on peo
ple who lived at home, and
perhaps complained of a
neurosis of much pain. Many
psychiatrists did not approve
of such operations; they
thought that the last state of
such patients was sometimes
worse than their first one.
I do not feel qualified to
discuss the pros and cons of
this subject because I have
had no experience with these
patients. I can only say that
from much reading of the lit
erature on the subject, my im
pression is that the operation
should be reserved for the
hopelessly insane who are dif
ficult and dangerous to han
dle. Also, I have read that in
recent years the operation has
been largely given up, per
haps partly because drugs
have been found that will
quiet many of the obstreper
ous patients.
Virus of German Measles
Men in the U.S. Department
of Health, Education and Wel
fare, with its great labora
tories in Bcthesda, Md., have
announced discovery of the
virus of German measles. Ger
man measles, of course, is or
dinarily not a severe disease,
but it has tremendous impor
tance because some women
who are unfortunate enough
to get the disease during the
first six weeks of a pregnancy
can give birth to a child who
is blind or deaf or otherwise
handicapped. Hence it is that
it would be a fine thing if nil
girls babies could be immu
nized to German measles - so
that, in their adult life, they
would never get il. Probably
before long this immunizing
will be done.
The organism is a very
peculiar one, different from
all others as yet identified. It
is still hard to grow the virus
in the usual culture material
made from monkeys' kidneys.
Some readers write to Dr.
Alvarez complaining of head
noises. He has a booklet on
this subject which you may
order by sending 25 cents and
a self-addressed, stamped en
velope to Dr. Walter C. Al
varez, Dept. MMT, The Regis

CAPITOL SALE
Springfield, 111. -IUPH- Illi
nois' fifth capitol in Spring
field was sold to the local
county Sangamon in
186!) when the stale decided
to build a larger building.
The two-story, domed build
ing turned out not to be large
enough for the county either
so the entire building was
lifted in the air and another
floor was built in at ground
level. The building is now
back in the hands of the state,
for development as a state
shrine.
