CARROTS.

A smart as a car-

rot" was how an

know described anyone who was all dressed up in her best. And truly he was right. The carrot is a most elegant vegetable with green fer-like leaves and tapering orange root:

It certainly is one of the most health-riving vege- tables which gives good all- the-year-round service. Not only does it contain Vitamin and lots of starch, but it has that valuable pigment carotene which has similar action to sunlight.

So give them plenty of car- rota if you want to put shina in their hair and give them clear complexions. That's what my Granny used to say to the. -children—” Carrota for sub-

shine-crusts for curls,"

Fresh scraped carrot le fine on bread and butter or in a sandwich, and it nicely peeled and washed a carrot will tempt the children Just as much as an apple will. Young carrals are so delicious that they can be served as a separate course with a ittle butter and salt Old carrots cooked slowly should be included in a stew or as a second vegetable.

Never waste a piece of carrot-it can be diced and thrown in the soup, or into the salad. No one will be able to realst ita attractive orange colour and sweet Anyour.

But carrots are not the only veget able in the basket, for, although the new ones are expensive and light in favour, we have swedes, turnips, old potatoes, purple broccoli, artichokes and lots of others to keep the family health balance on the right side.
