greater vitality and improve
your appearance, ft can even
help you stay young longer.

Delicious, vine-ripened toma-
toes are appearing on the mar-
ket in some part- of the State
now. One of our favorite vege-
tables, the tomato adds color,

der
taste and eye appeal as well
nutrition to family meals.
Tomatoes are low in calories,
Also, they ijre rich in vitamin C,
which must be replenished daily,
and are good sources of vitamin
A. One medium sized tomato
that has been vine-ripened will
give you about half of your
day's quota of vitamin C plus
a third of your vitamin A. Some
varieties are better sources of
vitamin C than others, but ^un
light during the ripening period |
seems to make a greater differ-
ence than variety.
Cooking, canning and storing 1
destroys some of the vitamin C
in tomatoe-. In raw tomatoes,
the vitamins hold up well at
room or refrigerator tempera
tures as long as the tomatoe- re
main firm and sound.
Good quality tomatoes are
fairly well shaped, plump,
smooth, firm of good red color
and free from blemishes. Vine
ripened tomatoes may not be
sorted for size ami shape as
well as the shipped tomatoes.
They may have more growth
cracks or other skin blemishes,
but their fine flavor and lower
price usually makes them a bet
ter buy.
Want a low-calorie salad
dressing for your summer green
salads? Mix together one half
cup tomato juice, 2 tablespoons
lemon juice or vinegar, 1 tea-
spoon salt, one-half teaspoon dry
mustard, 1 teaspoon grated on-
ion and one-half teaspoon Wor-
cestershire sauce. Store, cover-
ed, in the refrigerator. Shake
well before using. One clove may
be added if desired. The entire
recipe contains 25 calories.
Make your own Mastter Mix j
and keep it handy for making'
quick cakes for the family.

INSTITUTION
^ Your car cost a lot of money.
So, when you stop for gasoline . . .
when you have it washed and lubricated
. . . when you have the oil changed . . .
you want to do business with folks you
can depend on.
There's one way to be sure: shift the
care of your car to the shoulders of the
Humble dealer in your neighborhood.
You'll discover that his station is
staffed with men who know their busi-
ness; that he himself is a man you can
rely on to keep your car running right
and looking good.
Stop for service under the Humble
sign. You'll meet your friends and neigh-
bors there.
