Shoe Shop SWANNANOA mM S | c; OOD RESULTS FROM WANT ADS NATURE STUDY By Mrs Thomas Sharp True Solomon’s Seal-Maiden Hair Fern-Ground Ivy. “The happy earth looks at the sky and sings . We often speak poetically of “the music of the spheres.” At creation, “the morn ing stars sang together for joy.” Science teaches that everything gives out music which we could hear were our ears properly at tuned. Legend tells us that one day when King Solomon was walking through the woods he heard a new flower-song, so charming so alluring, that he stopped to be able to listen more attentively. The music was strange as chimes of golden bells were intermingled. Searching, he found long grace ful stalks with toothless, oval pointed or lance shaped leaves alternating on them, smooth above and pale and hairy beneath. Ar ranged usually in pairs (twin flowered) were white or yellowish green, bell shaped flowers, droop ing and nodding beneath the leaves, on fine stems springing from the axils of the leaves. Later when the flowers die, a round pulpy blue-black berry is formed. This berry is poisonous. The long, horizontal root-stock is thick and jointed. It was “in olden days” considered important in heal ing bruises, particularly about the eyes and for wounds and skin e ruptions, consequently, it was very highly esteemed as a cosmdtic. It was also used as a tonic, for in flamation of the stomach, erysi sweetish mucilaginous taste fol lowed by a slight sense of bitter pelas, and so this root has a ness. It is inodorus. We are not told whether King Solomon discovered these virtues or not and the Queen of Sheba (modern radio method) to try its powers as a cosmetic, (would he, with his wisdom, have dared to do so?), but we are informed that Solomon, to prevent harm to this lovely musical plant, took out his seal ring and stamped seal marks all along the roots the knobs you can see. There they are! The story must be true. The gol den bell chimes hang like a row of ringing bells. The false Solo mon’s Seal has a greenish-white floweret at the end of the stalk. It’s aromic edible berries ripen in the fall. It likewise has the stamp of Solomon on it’s root.) Maiden Hair Fern Our Mountain Maiden Hair fern is a magnificient plant. It is forked at the top of the slender black and polished stalk. The mea dow rue is often mistaken for it. Drug Store window.) The Capillus (See both in the Black Mountain Veneris, Venus-hair fern (the maiden-hair fern of the south, see window display), is more like the early meadow rue. Many students of botany, (beginners) have “felt sure” that they were the same. It is stated that this southern fern can hardly be found north of Virginia. Both ferns are very “aloof”. They choose as their favorite haunts, dim, moist hol lows in the woods, shady hillsides near creeks and rivers. They are the embodiment of the spirit of the woods, with their feathery fronds tremulous on their black, glistening stalks. The Ground Ivy—— “Gill over the Ground.” This dainty perenial seems to delight in “trapsing Over the— ground. It is lovely and dainty in flower baskets and rock gardens. It was introduced from Europe where the poor in England often used the leaves for making tea. This vine has small, rounded, marginally-scalloped leaves that are heart shaped at the base. In sparse clusters from the axils of the leaves are two-lipped, light bluish purple flowers. Gerarde states that “boiled in mutton-broth it helpeth weake and acking backs”. It is a gentle sti mulant and tonic, supposedly good for lung troubles, for the kidneys, asthma, jaundice, hypochondria, monomania, and even lead-colic! The leaves impart their virtues to boiling water by infusion. Cattle avoid this old and familiar herb as it has a peculiarly disagreeable odor, and a bitter, though some what aromic taste. It was blessed “simple” in those “homely days” before we had “Angels with lint and lance, and God’s messengers, the ambulance.” Copyright 1946 for the Blk. Mtn. News.

The thought of jewel - green vegetables rest /VT ing like gems on / lighter green hfJ leaves of lettuce and endive, or brilliantly sparkling fruits on the dark green of watercress or frilly leaves of garden lettuce are certain remedies for getting rid of swelter ing heat waves. I know of some families who make salads the main ingredient of the menus during the really warm weather. Not enough protein, did I hear you say? Oh, but yes, for you. can put enough meat, fish and cheese into the salads to give them that “stick-to-the-ribs” quality. Keep your salads crisp and fresh looking. Wash the lettuce as thor oughly as you can, letting the cold water trickle on every leaf. Keep your salads as pretty as picture plates. Even a tossed salad which is sort of thrown together can be lovely, as long as you don’t fuss with It until it looks weary. Mold them, too, for a change, us ing fruits or vegetables or both, for pretty molds are again reaching the markets. Unflavored gelatine can be used with tomato juice and fruit Juices If you want to have a bit of color on the salad plate. A salad that looks like a sunburst Itself is this one with tiny wedges of pineapple and carrot curls: Sunshine Salad. (Serves 6) 1 envelope plain unflavored gelatine hi cup cold water 1 cup hot pineapple syrup, drained from can W cup orange Juice Yt cup mild vinegar % teaspoon salt 1 cup grated raw carrots 1 cup orange segments, cut small m cups canned pineapple, cut into small pieces Soften gelatine in cold water and dissolve In hot pineapple syrup.

J Turn into a mold \SS ' ' that has been rinsed out in cold wa ter and chill. When firm, unmold onto greens and serve with mayon naise. If fresh pineapple is used, cook the fruit a few minutes. The acid of fresh pineapple prevents gelatine from stiffening. To make this salad as pleasing as it appears In the photograph, serve the salad on greens and fill the center with carrot curls. These latter are made by cutting the car rots in paper thin slices (try a po tato peeler), wrap tightly around the finger and chill in Ice water. If Lynn Says: Watch Those Bread Crumbs: Although rationing la over, we are still being called upon to con serve vital foods. This time it is the breadbox which is under strict observation. Don’t throw away those dry crusts of bread. Let them accu mulate in a paper bag until you have enough, to put through a meat grinder. These will be very fine and tasty to use for bread ing. Leftover bread crumbs, sea soned well, may be used as top ping for casseroles. Eat rye, whole wheat or bran bread when white bread is not available. Don’t throw away a slice.
