QUERY NO. 4249.--"I should like a recipe for New York Ice Cream."

Classes of Ice Cream

There are three distinct classes of Ice Cream: The Philadelphia, which
is supposed to be made of heavy cream; the French, which is made with
eggs on a soft custard foundation; and the so-called American, which is
made on the foundation of a thin white sauce. All three classes are made
in New York, and in every other large city, but we have never heard that
any special recipe for ice cream is peculiar to New York. The less
expensive forms of cream, in that and every other city, are those based
on a thin white sauce, sweetened, flavored, and frozen.

=_I never knew what prunes and apricots could do until--_=

I came to analyze the flavor-and-health values of these two fruit-foods.
At first their use seemed rather limited but with each new dish others
immediately suggested themselves.

The chief nutritive element in both prunes and apricots, of course, is
fruit sugar. But you derive great value, too, from their mineral salts
and organic acids. These improve the quality of the blood and counteract
the acid-elements in meat, eggs, cereals and other high-protein foods.

Also, they are rich in tonic iron and other mineral and vitamine
elements needed for body tone. Nor should I forget to mention that
prunes especially provide a natural laxative made in Nature's own
pharmacy.

But aside from these essential health values, I found that Sunsweet
Prunes and Apricots offer wonderful possibilities--varying from the most
delicate souffle to the more substantial cobbler, pie or pudding.
