Boiled Rice With Fig Sauce.-CoOk
rice as usual except it is cooked in
double boiler and skim milk is used
to cook it in instead of water. This
makes a more nutritious dish and espe-
cially good for children. A hard sauce
may be used if preferred to the fig
sauce, yet this is unusual and very
nice. Stew the figs, depending upon
the size of the family TO be served;
add lemon juice and little Of the
grated rind with bit of butter added.
Serve hot.
Kidneys en- casseroIe.-Put three
tablespOonfuls of sweet fat into a cas-

sweet herbs. Add nine sleeps kidneys
cut in halves and cook for four min

blespoonfuls of lemon juice, three ten
spoonfuls of worcestershire sauce, n
few button onions and mushrooms and
seasoning Of salt and pepper, paprika
and grated nutmeg with Glove of gar
lie. Cover the casserole and cook Ell

uNNED FOODS ARE SAFE TO EAT

that the government is going to seize
home-canned foods. This tale is sur
prisingly widespread. judging by the
number of anxious letters concerning
II that come Ia the government DEPART
ments. the fedC-ul food administration
and the various newspaper bureaus In
Washington. Whether the story was
started, as most people here believe,
deliberately TO hamper the coming
campaign and render II less effective.
or whether ii simply arises from an ut
ter miScOnceptiOn of the nature of the
food and its purposes, is not impUr-
tant. What Is important is that the
story is not true. The government is
not going to seize any home-canned
foods.
A story related 10 this last is q re-
port that the government is contem-
plating war tax on home-canned
fruits and vegetables. Careful inves-
tigution here has failed TO show the
slightest basis for this report.
Perhaps the most annoying report
that has been making its unpatriotic
rounds Is the report that fruits and
vegetables canned by what Is known
rs the "one-period. cold-pack method"
are liable to be unsafe as food.
For those who have canned foods of
lowing absolutely authoritative state
ment is offered by way of reinsurance:
The cold-pack method processes have
been used for five years and not q sin
gle death or serious Illness has result
ed from the consumption of food saved
according to its direction"
OF course a certain amount Of COM
mon sense is needed In the use of
canned foods. just as II is needed In
crossing the street or getting Off rail-
way train. Fruits or vegetables which
show any signs of decay should not be
canned. Canned fruits or vegetables
whose looks or taste. or odOr when the
can Is opened, might indicate that they
are spoiled, are perhaps best thrown
away by the inexperienced Gamer
although experienced housewives often
make use Of canned fruits that show
mold. for example, by boiling them
over" before putting them on the Ia
BILE.
This last process suggests the name
Of ''vacillus bOtulinus"-a germ In
fair way to gain some small reputa-
ton. In recent number of medical
journal there appeared an article on
"botulism," q disease which may be
contracted by eating spoiled canned
fruits or vegetables.
