'T'HE South Pacific Health Service (head- A quarters in Suva) which for the past year or so has supplied us with the interesting bulletins on preparing food in the Islands, and on nutrition generally, has now combined some of this informa tion in a handy booklet called Tropical Food and Nutrition.

The first, No. 1, Volume 1. was issued in June, and presumably there will be other issues from time to time.

The first number contains many house hold hints valuable to the Islands woman, how to use certain tropical fruits and vegetables; there are interesting notes about coffee and rice and numerous recipes all of which are within the scope of the Islands housewife.

The cost of the booklet is 1/-, post paid (in Fijian currency, which is 12% per cent, higher than Australian, 12% per cent, less than Stg.). All corres pondence should be addressed to the South Pacific Health Service, Box 13, Suva, Fiji.
