is a remedy. Soak the curtains to

(Pood "Energy Often Misunderstood
The word . "energy" in connection
with food often is misunderstood be
cause it has many meanings. , To the
nutritionist as to the engineer, ener
gy means power from fuel or heat, and
often is measured in the calories or
heat units. But more popular mean
ings of the word "energy" are vim,
vigor,' 'vitality, or even -spirit. j
Thus the homemaker may conclude
..di.
f
and fats," because they are the chief
sources of fuel or calories for the ac
tivity of the body. But if used in ex
cess these foods are stored as fat;
thus they may make a person -feel less
energetic. Too many of these "en
ergy foods" in the diet may cut down
on other nutritients, such as vitamins
or protein which the body needs for
nutritional well-being and normal vim
and vigor.
The term "fuel food" may be pre
ferable to the more widely used "en
ergy food" to prevent this common
misunderstanding. "

If thought is put into the plan-
ning and the garment is completely
ihanged, a youngster will be proud to
wear a suit or coat' made from -daddy's.
Be sure the material is suited
for children's wear. An adult's top
coat of a very heavy nubby tweed will
be inappropriate no matter how good
the material is. .
I agree with the Rev. Dr. Talmage.l
that "there are wit, humor and en

Cabbage And Citrus
On "Plentifuls" List
Southern-grown cabbage, fresh and
processed citrus fruits, and eggs are
among the foods listed by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture as plenti
ful in the Southeast for April, Miss
Rebecca Colwell, county home demon
stration agent for the State College
Extension Service, said this week.
Generally, cabbage is seasonally
plentiful in April, and if recent price
trends hold, this food will continue hi
the budget-buy class for several
weeks. Most of the southeastern cab
bage is now coming from Florida and
Alabama, but Georgia and South Car
olina will also have cabbage ready
for harvest in April North Carolina's
spring crop should be ready by the
last of April or early May.
The nation's 117-million-box orange
crop accounts for, retail markets be
ing .well supplied with oranges this
year. Southeastern markets, being
within short shipping distance of Flor
ida . groves, should have ample sup
plies of fresh' oranges and grapefruit.
Processed citrus products also are in
plentiful supply.
Broiler production in April is ex
pected to continue at a high level, es
pecially since chick placements for
April broilers were 25 per cent great-
