Caliliirni;! produces more than four- 

 lit'tlis of the yearly output. Accortlini> 

 to a very rough estimate, each person 

 in this country consumes on an average 

 live or six pounds of dried fruit a year. 

 The value of the product rose from be- 

 tween four and tive millions to over 

 twenty-one millions in ten years. The 

 average wliolesale price, however, has 

 not advanced with the increased de- 

 mand; on the contrary, it has droppetl 

 from about h\k cents to about W-i cents 

 per ])ound. Dried fruits are especially 

 useful when the supply of fresh fruits 

 is limited or where storage space for 

 fresh fruits is lacking. Besides being 

 used alone, they may be added to cakes, 

 puddings, confectionery and other sim- 

 ilar dishes. They alVord a nutritious 

 and economical way of securing a var- 

 iet\ of diet which is often overlooked 

 by the housewife.— Othce of Informa-

Canned Fruits and Vegetables 

 in Winter Diet 



The tjalanced ration of many Ameri- 

 can.s today is made up something as 

 follows: Bread, butter, eggs, meat, fish 

 and potatoes, and patent medicine laxa- 

 tives. 



Many Americans customarily sulfer 

 from one of the following complaint.s: 

 Indigestion, constipation, rheumatism. 

 A simple change of the daily menu 

 might go a long way to remedy these 

 ailments, according to the Bureau of 

 Plant Industry's specialist in charge of 

 canning club work. This specialist 

 reconnncnds a change to a menu more 

 in keeping with nature's plans some- 

 thing as follows: Bread, butter, meat, 

 fish and eggs, and fruit, vegetables and 

 greens. 



He recommends that every familx 

 provide a diet of fruit and vegetables 

 for every day in the year. This would 

 do much to eliminate the need for 

 Ijatent medicine laxatives that figure so 

 jjrominently in many Anierican.s' bills 

 of faie. If every home kept on hand 

 enough canned pioducts so that there 

 might be a can of fruits, a can of greens 

 and a can of vegetables for every day 

 during the winter, there would be little 

 need for the laxatives now so regularly 

 purchased from the corner drug store. 

 There would also be great economy in 

 the substitution of an inexpensive food 

 for more expensive ones. 



More home canning, done at the 

 proper season, would enable the aver- 

 age family always to have the i)roper 

 (luantity of canned iiroducts, and would 

 save an astonishing amount of food that 

 goes to waste every year. It is esti- 

 mated that over .')() per cent of all llie 

 vegetables, greens, fruits and berries 

 that grow in this country go to waste 

 and are actually lost to those who need 

 them. This is simply because some 

 housewives have not learned to care 

 for these surplus products eflicienth 

 and to make them available for the 

 winter months by canning.
