The legumes rank high in protein; roots and tubers high in carbohy- drate. Serve vegetables every day. They are necessary to good health. General Rules for Cooking Vegetables . Buy vegetables in season. . Select medium-sized vegetables in good condition. . If vegetables are wilted, soak in cold water to restore crispness. . Wash thoroughly, pare or scrape if skins are to be removed. mn & Ww NH &— . If vegetables are to be boiled, have water boiling; when added use 1 teaspoon salt to 1 quart water. 6. Steaming is better than boiling, as the soluble matter is not lost. 7. Never allow vegetables to stand in water after they are cooked. Drain, and keep hot over boiling water. 8. Cook strong flavored vegetables uncovered. 9. To conserve fuel satisfactorily, vegetables may be baked in a small amount of water in a covered pan in the oven, if the oven is being used for something else.

POTATOES Potatoes are in the best condition for use in the late summer and autumn. The mineral matter is soluble in water, and may be lost in the cooking when cooked in water. The best ways to cook potatoes are: Baking, boiling in their jackets, or steaming. To Boil—Wash and scrape new potatoes, but do not peel. Steam or cook in boiling salt water, enough to cover. When done, drain, return to the fire and shake for a few minutes to thoroughly dry. Always put potatoes into boiling salted water — never cold or lukewarm. Winter potatoes should be pared and soaked in cold water before boiling. Cook in boiling salted water, following the directions for new potatoes.
