Delicious Beetroot Without Vinegar

Dear Aunt. Daisy, ; Do you know of this delicious way to serve beetroot Boil and dice-or dice and boil-the beetroot. We do the lattér and use the juice. Ladle out the beetroot and add sufficient honey to sweeten the juiceabout a level tablespoon perhaps, according to the quantity, but 1 tablespoon to 1 pint is a good formula. Then add ° sufficient lemon juice to the syrup, instead of vinegar. This is delicious and much more digestible than when sugar and vinegar are used. Also, a delightful lemon drink is made by using honey instead of sugar. Lemon or orange drinks should be drunk when freshly made, as the vitamins are best then. A good liver tonic is the lemon drink made like this:-Juice of half a lemon. (ordinary size), %% teaspoon honey, 1 saltspoon bicarbonate of soda. Stir these and add water. hot or cold. This is much better than artificial cold drinks. ; Other things may be done with honey; for instance, salad dressing which is lovely with honey and lemon juice. On the farm we get some cream occasionally too, as Buttercup will give sometimes more than is arranged for by the mar- keting board, Strangely enough this is the only time we ever want cream — in

salad dressing! —
