a lot of substitute*.
Qf course, the substitutes, such
as grasshoppers, liaards, and
sheep’s eyes, do acquire a practic-
ed palate and a tolerant stomach;
but to some fit our European end
Asiatic gourmets they are better
than filet mignon.
Grasshoppers and other mem-
bers of the locust family have
been a delicacy for centuries, ac-
cording to the Childcraft refer-
ence library. Shakespeare uses the
eloquent expression, “luscious as
locusts,’ 'and the Book of SL Mat-
thew cites locusts and wild honey
as the fare of John the Baptist.
The Chinese relish their locusts
whole and candied, while in the
Arabian Desert the insects are
dried, irround, and mixed into a
tasty flour tor bread.
By the way of variety, the Aus-
tralian Bushman adds rat cutlets
to his meal of locust hors d’oeuv-
res; and the African Pigmy goes
him one better by supplementing
his grasshopper, or locust, dinner
with a choice assortment of bott-
les, caterpillars,, field mice, and
monkeys Grasshoppers are an im-
portant staple in the diet of the
Negrito, the Filipino Pygmy, who
also enjoys aa occasional ltaard or
snake. , ‘
Our pallid, mild-flavored butter
would seem a poor product in parts
of Afghanistan, where bread is
buttered with a slab or two of
pungent «HSep-tail fat.
But it is the Persian and the
Eskimo who probably have made
the most exotic contribution to the
dinner table. Both like their caviar
in the foim of eyes instead of

Give Feed A
Touch of Spring
It isn’t much trouble, and It will
not upset the feed budget to add a
touch of apriag to the menu. A
clever homemaker with a dash of
imagination andf^ sharp paring
knife can work wdOders with crisp
little radishes, green leaf lettuce,
snowy onions and golden carrots,
says Miss Lucilc King, county H.
D agent
She says the family will enjoy
the added touch of color and the
nice crisp vegetables are just good
tonic for everyone. Here is her
suggestion for giving macaroni
and cheese a touch of spring. Stir
a couple of chopped green onions
into the cheese sauce before fold-
ing it into the macaroni. She likes
to use the whole onions including
the green tops.
If only a few spears of fresh,
greep asparagus are available and
you want to share them with the
family, the macaroni and cneese
caserole makes a good setting for
them. She sajA the cooked spears
should be cut into even lengths
and folded into the cheese sauce
along with the macaroni.
The use of a few crisp green
pepper rings on top of the casser-
ole is another good way to perk
up the macaroni and cheese. The
crunchiness of the pepper is a
pleasing accent to the Smoothness
of the main dish, she says.
Fresh tomatoes, cut in thick
slices and. placed on top of the
casserole before it is baked, add
to the dish.
Crisp relishes served wiTh the
macaroni and cheese casserole set
it off to good advantage. The color
of the relishes plus their crunchy
texture is just right for the smooth
casserole dish, says Miss King.
Here's something different In-
stead of making fancy radish
roses, try slicing tne radishes in
thin slices, to within about an
eighth of an inch of the under-
neath side, and then placing them
in ice water so they ran fan out.
Maybe you'd likt to try carrot curls

Garden Mulch Kills Weeds
And Keeps the Soil Moist
INTEXAS
Cabbage With
Mulches covering the soil around
growing plants art a substitute tor
cultivation which Is grossing in
favor. They have long been used
by practical gardeners, and vari-
ous materials have been tried tor
covering the ground, to prevent
weeds growing and shads the sur-
face.
Paper mulch, and even stones
and slabs of concrete haste been
experimented with. But teats by

mulching materials allow fro* cir-
culation ot air through the top
eight inch** of soil.
Mulches of fresh organic materi-
al, such as manure, straw, alfalfa,
peat moss, lasra clippings and
others, stabilise the granular struc-
ture of soils and prevent surface
compaction, says an Ohio report.
In testing various mulching ma-
terials, it was found that when
seeds of Chewing’s fescue grass
were sown between plant rows, it
produced the same effect as a
good manure mulch, at consider-
ably less expense.
, Sown at the rate of S pounds to
100 square feet this grass makes a

for a change. Herr is Miss King’s
suggestion for doing the job. Slice
the carrots lengthwise and very
thin. The potato peeler is an ex-
cellent tool for the slicing job.
While the slices are still pliahle
roll them up and place the curls
immediately in ire water.
To get thoee crunchy celery
sticks, she says, cut the qmall
green stalks to a point at each
end and then split then* in one-
eighth inch strips, cut about half
way to the center from each end
of the stalk. The strips will spread
apart when placed in ice water.
Miss King says foods deserve a
lift and the plentiful supply—of
spring vegetable* now available
from the home garden or the gro-
cery store can be used to add color,
vitamins, minerals and that touch
of spring to the family table.

Timely Tips
1. In cooking potatoes time care-
fully and serve promptly to retain
the Vitamin C.
2. New potatoes have as much
vitamin C as tomatoes.
3. Potatoes lose less vitamin C
when stored between 50 degree*
and 70 degrees F. The loss it

You qy you have never driven a Cadillac?
Well, it’s a lovely day—and there are beautiful roads
to travel down and interesting places to visit—and a
little dreaming never hurt a soul... so just slide over
behind the wheel. It’s youn!
First, you’ll just want to tit for awhile, with your
hand on the slender, obedient wheel—and get a close-up
view of the ingrained goodness that makes this car so
unmistakably ... the Standard of the World.
And then you turn the key, touch the soft-throated
engine into action—and you’re away.
The steering wheel all but reads your mind! The brakes
are as soft as velvet, and immediate in their response! The
road has become a boulevard—and the turns and lights
seem to oery close together!
And the soft, easy quietness of it all! You just ait and
relax—in complete contentment—and the miles'go by-
end the miles go by... “Oh, bow I wish this car were mine!”
Wei), it’s time, we think, to stop dreaming—and lend
an ear to this: the lowest-priced Cadillac costs less to
buy than certain models of numerous other makes'of
can; it is ao enduring that it w^l give a lifetime of
service; and it is so economical that it actually approaches
the low-priced popular care in gasoline mileage.
Yea, it’s time to go into action—and to moke this tar
your own!
