Root vegetables will be fresher
Mp.d have more nutritive value if
their leaves or tops are trimmed
oil before they are stored in home
refrigerators or vegetable bins,
giant scientists of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture remind house
wives.
Although bunches of carrots,
turnips, beets, parsnips, and rad
ishes may look more attractive in
grocery stores with their leafy
?ops attached, those tops should be
?ut off as soon as possible because
they dra\v~moisture "'ant!" nutricnts
from the vegetable* The tops take
up valuable space in storage con
tainers. The plant scientist* ex
plain that while the vegetable is
growing in the. ground, the leaves
manufacture sugar, starch, protein
and other nutrients and pase them
down to the roots for storage.
However, once the vegetable is
harvested and the roots are out of
the ground, the situation is re
t^rsed and the leaves draw on the
?joisture and nourishment of the
roots to keep alive.
These vegetables, especially if
^oung and tender, keep better in
Ihe vegetable compartment of the
refrigerator than in an open vege
table bin in the kitchen, because
the warm air of the kitchen soon
dries and wilts the vegetables.
Wintry weather need not mean
popping raw salads off the menu.

Meal Now And Feel Fine
"Indigestion forced me tq live on
soft foods and broths and my

thanks to Retonga, I now eat any
thing I want, and feel fine," grate
fully declares Mr. T. O. Edmons,
well-known home owner of Route
3, Anderson, S. C.~
"Although I got to where I lived
on soft foods I still suffered from
sour stomach, and gas pressure up
against my chest sometimes al
most choked me. Muscular pains
in my arms and shoulders seldom
stopped, even though I took strong
laxatives almost every night for
constipation and hoping to clear
out toxic poisons. Sometimes I sud
denly felt so shaky I had to sit
down; and most nights I slept so
little that mornings I had to drive
myself out of bed. I sometimes
thought I would never be good for

That grille's as fresh and fashion-worthy as a Paris
label in a new bonnet.
That long, clean, sweeping-all-the-way-through fender
line is as much a "must" with the style-wise as white
tie with tails.
There's the sparkle of bright, fresh colors ? the rich
sheen of chaste chrome?the sleek, slick, able look of an
express cruiser, shined and polished for Regatta Day.
But is this the only way in which Buick's smart? Not
by a barrelful!
Look at the engine room in that bonnet ? that means
torrents of Fireball power to put the lift of a lifetime
in every mile.
That hug-the-road look means steadiness always?and
cushiony coil springs *on all four wheels spell serene
disregard of any road's rude jolts.
Look at the width amidships that gives vou lolling
room both front and back?and at push-button con
trols that not only raise and lower the top, but move
door windows up and down and the front seat
back and forth.
And look deeper. At engines so fine-made
they keep their new-car liveliness seemingly
forever- At stout metals and sturdy under
pinning st husky, curl-around bumpers,
controls light as a ladyfinger; at wheels that curb
heel-over on turns, and brakes both easy and sure.
Fact is, in this trim Convertible or any of the eight
other body types, Buick's the smartest buy as well as
'47's smartest car. It's the place where dollar-sense
meets with style-sense to produce America's most
wanted automobile.
Such being so ? why hesitate? A day lost now in plac
ing an order can be a week lost later in taking delivery,
so ? get your order in now!
