trogenous foods decompose quickly un-
der the influence of heat and moisture.
Custards should be made the day they
are to be eaten in summer and the
various pastries containing creamy
mixtures should not be kept overnight
in July or August Smearcase and
cream cheese must also be used be-
fore they have reached the turning
point, and though you may escape
ptomaine poisoning if you eatice-cream
which has been kept overnight, the
chances arf very slim.

Of berries, spread them over as much
space as possible: do not leave them
in the boxes. Fruit which has begun
to decay contains micro organisms
which will infect either the sound

age-place, and often cause disease.
