FREQUENT SCAL0ING IS BEST
To Keep Household Water Vessels
Clean arI in Good Condition
Much Care is Needed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The greatest care Is required to
Keep household water vessels clean
and in good condition. Water coolers
should be of some material, such as
porcelain or enameled ware, which is
easily kept clean. They should be
scalded at frequent intervals. The
ice. If it comes in contact with the
water. should be of known quality.
Doubtful ice should be kept from con-
tact with the water. Many families
cool drinking water by putting it in
the ice box in glass fruit jars or bot
ties.
Where 1t is believed or known that
the water supply is not pure, filter
should be used. If filter is used
every precaution should be taken to
keep it clean and in good condition,
United States department of agrfcul-
ture specialists suggest. An earthen-
ware filter may be cleaned by thor
ough scrubbing with a brush. Then it
should be placed in pan or kettle of
water and boiled. a small piece of
wood should be placed under the jar
to prevent direct contact with the
heated bottom of the pan.

Fish is not used as food to the
extent it should be in this country
nor to the extent that it is used in
other countries. 1t is cheaper than
meat because it requires less labor to
produce and market it, and because
fish consume in their growth very lit
tie material which is available or use
full in human food. Like meat, it is
q protein food, and ifnWell cooked it
makes a nutritious Nnd palatable
dish.
Even though PURCHASED dressed, fish
should be carefully cleaned in the
home. After cleaning and washing
wipe dry with q soft cloth and salt
well before cooking. The addition of
vinegar or lemon Juice during the
c 7oking is usually advisable when it is
baked or boiled.
Because they contain less of the So
called extractives which give flavor to
pork, beef, and mutton. fish are likely
to be somewhat insipid. For this rea-
son extra care should be used in the
selection of the other food TO be
served with it. Have it either very
highly favored or so mild in flavor

GOOD MEAT FROM CHEAP CUTS
Housekeeper Has Two Problems to
Contend With in Attempting to
Reduce Expenses.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
When the housekeeper attempts to
reduce her meat bill by using the less
expensive cuts, she commonly has two
difficulties to contend with-tOugh
meat and lack of flavor. Prolonged
cooking softens the connective tissues
of the meat. Pounding the meat and
chopping it are also employed with
tough cuts to help break the muscle
fibers. The flavor of meat. even in the
least desirable cuts, may be developed
by careful cooking, noticeably by
browning the surface. Other flavors
may be given by the addition of vege-
tables and by seasoning with condi-
ments of various kinds.

There are other stomach disorders which
also are sure signs of Acid-StOmach-beich-

many ailments which, while they do not
cause much distress in the stomach itself,
