Heart and Beauty
Problems
BY MRS. ELIZABETH "HCMPsoN

Dear MRS. Thompson: I am a young
married woman, in fact L have just started
keeping house for myself. Just before mar
riage we were given a kitchen shower and
among the things we got are some alumni
mum sauce pans and an aluminium kettle
and a coffee pot. l have been told that
aluminium ware makes the foods poisonous
and it worries me so that l am afraid to
use these nice things.
(1) Can you tef1 me if this is so?
(2) If aluminium ware poisOns the food
why is it that all big hotels use aluminium
in their kitchens? THANK YOU.
% 1t is not that aluminium poisons
the food. Aluminium ware is the safest and
best to use in the kitchen for the very
reason that no aluminium compounds are
poisonous. Sometimes when you cook foods
that have acid in them in aluminium it
colors the aluminium. and sometimes I've
does the same, but this does not hurt the
pan for use and If some of the aluminium is
eaten off of the pan and goes into the
food it is not injurious Aluminium COM
pounds used to purify water for drink
ing and cooking. If aluminium is given the
same care in the kitchen that other ware
is given it would not get black and dirty
looking. People have the idea, however,
that aluminium can be handled roughly and
will stay nice.
(2) Hotels aluminium ware because it
is safer from poison than tin or other ware
and when given attention is easier to keep
clean and sanitary.
