NUTRITION NOTES ON
PRUNES—Prunes rate high in the
list of foods rich in Vitamin A and
contain more of this important vita
min than any other fruit, with the
lone exception of apricots. Prunes
contaisi considerabie amounts of
calcium, phosphorous and iron and,
like most fruits, are low in sodi
um content. A serving of cooked
prunes has three times the iron
content of other common fruits.
Our nutritionists recommend
ideas on serving prunes, the econ
omy fruit with the rich fruit flav
or, the nutritious fruit with new
popularity. You will like the fol
lowing combinations:
Prunes and sliced bananas;
prunes, grapefruit and orange
wedges; prunes on grapefruit, hon
ey dribiiled, heated in broiler; and
prunes, marinated in orange and
lemon slices, cinnamon, nutmeg,
and water (refyigerated a day or
two).

For making spiced prunes, pour
boiling water on dried prunes. Add
cloves and cinnamon stick. Let
stand 24 hours. Serve with cream.
Hot plumped prunes served with
cream are delicious, too. Plump
enough prunes to serve cold the
next day, adding nutmeg.
The juice of prunes is good for
mixings. Prune juice can be a dif
ferent drink every morning, but
start with prune juice well chilled.
NUTRITION SPECIAUSTS GIVE
DRESS-UP TOUCHES FOR SOUP
—Serve it hot or cold.
Try it with cheese. Spread cream
cheese on rounds of melba toast;
poke a birthday candle in it; float
on birthday soup, and light; cut
snippets (outlines of dolls, animals,
stars, etc.) out of processed cheese
and slip gently on children’s hot
soup. Children will eat a big bowl
of nourishing hot soup with garlic
cheese croutons; pass hot caraway
cheese finger sandwiches with cold
soup.
Try it with cream. Pile a mound
of salted whipped cream on a soup
shake—a soup float; combine hea
vy cream with chopped chives as
a surface fluff for hot soup; heap
a dollop of sour cream on cold or
hot soup; float “dumplings” of un
sweetened whipped cream dusted
with minced herbs or chives on hot
or cold soup; fold a little whipped
cream into cream soup for extra
rich smoothness. We recommend
cream of celery, mushrooms, as
paragus, chicken, tomato, beef
broth, and green pea. Do not boil—
bring to boiling point.
QUICK “RULES OF THUMB’
FOR HANDLING PLASTICS; Don’t
clean them with abrasives—use
warm water with soap or synthetic
detergent. (Exception: Nylon may
be boiled.) Keep plastics away from
high heat. (i.e. the oven) or direct
flames.
Something new is a bath rug
with both nylon, pile and back in
pastel shades. It is extremely func
tional because it is quick drying,
long wearing and mildew-resistant.
PRUNES ON THE BREAKFAST
PLATE: Spiced prunes with broil
ed ham or crisp bacon and eggs,
as you like them. Serve prunes
on hot and ready-to-serve cereals.
Cereals take on new flavor with
prunes added in a variety of ways
—whole plumped prunes or ready-
to-serve canned prunes on top;
prunes, pitted and chopped, mixed
in cereal, or pureed prunes pour
ed over cereal with cream.
Prunes in breads, rolls, muffins,
are delicious. For upside down
prune muffins, add chopped prunes
to batter for bran, oatmeal, corn
or other muffins.

As long as'there are children in
the world, a fair percentage of
the deceased cats, dogs, squirrels
and birds will be accorded a de
cent funeral.
Certainly the relatives of a little
bird that was run over by an auto
mobile near Joy Corner the other
day can console themselves with
the knowledge that he was put
away right.
Joy Corner, in case you’re not
familiar with it, is one of the City
Recreation Department’s play
grounds. It is located in Riverside,
and Elizabeth Cotten is the direc
tor.
For this particular funeral. Bill
Littleton was the officiating minis
ter. His eulogy would have served
well for a departed king or poten
tate, and lell of the other kids in
the group of mourners were quite
impressed.
Prior to the last rites, a grave
had been dug, so that things would
go off without a hitch. Instead of a
hymn, those in attendance made
up some appropriate words of their
own, and sang them to the tune of
Old Ned.
The little bird, carefully wrap
ped in leaves, was much too small
to need pallbearers for the funeral
proce.ssion, so the minister gently
placed him in the basket of his
bicycle and headed the journey
around Joy Corner that eventually
terminated at the graveside.
He was buried under a tree, a
tomstone was fashioned out of con
struction paper, and flowers were
placed on the tiny mound. Having
paid their respects to the deceased,
they went back to their play.
God, Who loves children and
sparrows, and keeps His eye on
both, na doubt witnessed it all.
