use them in the diet when possible. The 

 person who eats the proper diet uses 

 fruits at least twice daily. Let the apple 

 be one of the.se fruits. 



Apples contain a fair amount of vita- 

 mins, especially when raw, and they are 

 good sources of minerals. They contain 

 cellulose or roughage, valuable in pre- 

 venting constipation, and organize acids 

 which stimulate the appetite and diges- 

 tion. 



They may be eaten raw, in apple sauce, 

 in pudding, or in pie occasionally. Then, 

 of course, many of the apples make ex- 

 cellent jelly at small cost. And many 

 varieties of early apples canned make 

 a better flavored apple sauce than the 

 later varieties. It is economy to can the 

 early varieties and store the later ones. 



The following recipes offer some sug- 

 gestions for the use of apples : 



Apple Snow 



White 2 eggs ? cup apple pulp 



4 tablespoons powdered sugar 



Pare, quarter, and core four sour ap- 

 ples, cook until soft, and rub through 

 sieve; there should be three-fourths cup 

 apple pulp. Beat on a platter whites of 

 eggs until stiff (using wire whisk), add 

 gradually cooked apple and continue 

 beating. Pile lightly on glass dish, chill, 

 and serve with Boiled Custard.

 parent. Core and pare apples, arrange
