Saudi Arabia
There has been little manufacture
In Saudi Arabia. The nomad Bedou
ins have tanned their own leather,
woven their own coarse cloth tents
and blankets. They have been their
own blacksmiths and saddlers. In
the towns artisans include weavers,
silver and goldsmiths, masons, mak
ers of spears and swords. King
Abdul Aziz al Saud has converted
many Bedouin nomads to towns
men. The country has fertile soil
in the wadis of barren valleys, but
except in the oases, Irrigation is
required for farming. Coffee and
fruit are grown. It was the grazing
of stock and the search for pasture
in the arid land that developed the
roving Bedouins. The Arabs raise
fine horses, as well as goats, sheep
and camels. There Is little cattle
because of lack of forage and of cold
storage to preserve the beef.
OltrnE Juice
If breakfatt citrus Juice is
squeezed the night before as a time
saver, keep it cold and covered,
remembering that the less air space
there is between Juice and contain
er top, the better for vitamin C.
With these precautions citrus Juice
will lose little of its most valuable
vitamin, even if stored for 24 hours.
So destructive are heat and air to
vitamin C in cut fruit, that nutri
tionists advise cutting or slicing cit
rus fruit as near as possible to serv
ing time. Pulp, as well as Juice,
contains vitamin C, and it is vita
min thrift to serve Juice unstrained,
and even higher vitamin economy in
eating citrus fruit simply halved,
sliced or sectioned. A half-glass (4
ounces) of orange or grapefruit
Juice will go far toward supplying
a day's needs of vitamin C. So will
half a grapefruit, or a whole orange,
or a couple of tangerines or lem
ons.
