"Make-Up'' for
Dame Nature

IL WAS one of the standard Jokes
in the early days of the food law
that the coal tar dyes used in the
foods were not so good as thosa
used III printing the labels. They
were not clean and contained az
senic in varying quantities. Now
only vegetable dyes, or one of eight
certified coal tars that have been
inspected and are known to contain
nothing injurious to health, can be
used, and no dye can be employed
to cover up the deficiencies of a
damaged, inferior product. You
cannot put the purest dye, for IN
stance, into an alleged egg noodle
to make up for the egg that is left
out; or take discouraged smoked
fish and color it up to look as good
as new-even though the dye be
harmless"
All artiticially colored foods must
wear label declaring the fact
except IN the case of butter and
cheese, which have a permit 10

gress. though the right is forbidden
their cousins the oleos, because the
latter used it for masquerading pur-
/ poses in former times and passed
themselves off as butter. Certain
candies obviously colored need say
nothing about the matter, also.
1t seems rather foolish to take
all this trouble TO dye our foods
safely-but appearance has Ger
tain value in promoting appetite
and digestion, and certainly a stick
of peppermint candy would be
sad affair without its red stripes. Il
is a great pity, however, that DUAL
ity foods should ever make up
and only 4 few Of them-that are
esthetic and for pleasure rather
than for nutrition-do SO. Even
butter and candy might we'll re
form. If minis We're white and but
ter paler when June was passed
we would be none the worse off.
and we could save the money that
it costs to paint the face Of Nature
and put it into more food!

that there are three shades Of red,

and a blue among the permitted

eminent to be harmless for foods.

Temperature Records
y The filling Of the oil tank and the
lighting and controlling Of the fame
are easily accomplished. The most
efficient fame is not obtained until
five minutes after lighting. In
the Institute Laboratory the con-
tent of the thirty gallon boiler was
raised from SO degrees to 120 de-
grees f. (average), il two hours
time, at cost of DO cents, with
kerosene at IS cents d gallon.
In half an hour, however, one can
draw off ten gallons of water at
105 degrees, comfortable bathing
temperature, and in an hour fifteen
gallons will be at 100 degrees, which
is as hot as the hand can stand.
The water in the top Of the boiler
was raised SO degrees to a tempera-
ture of LAP degrees f. in two hours.
During this time the two burners
consumed 1866 pounds, or about two
pints Of oil, so that the gallon con-
tainer can be depended on for eight
hours of work with both burners on,
or sixteen hours with one burner.
Costs and. Efficiency
AS fuel kerosene is about 20
per cent cheaper than gas (assum-
ing gas ct 81 thousand cubic feet
and kerosene at 18 cents a gallon)
but since its efficiency is about 20
per cent less the service rendered
in the two cases is practically equal.
The rate of heating thirty gallons
Of water in standard boiler, 30.6 de-
grees an hour, is about one-half as
fast as standard gas heater, the
thermal efficiency being 46 per cent,
as compared with so per cent to GO
per cent for gas. These data show a
good average efficiency, as compared
with kerosene and gas heaters, and
q moderate cost of operation.

Peaches, Picked and Plain
Krumbled Bran With Fruit-A
Medicinal Delicacy

Luscious yellow peaches in their
own rich juice, served with some dry
cereal and perhaps a light, we'll but
tered muffin, make a very dainty
breakfast. With Krumbled Bran
cookies or doughnuts the combina-
ton becomes a dessert that meets
the approval of young and old and
is equally good for them. Krumbled
Bran was tested in the Institute at
the same time the fruits of the can
were undergoing examination, so
eve speak with authority"
These cookies were first made ac-
cording to the recipe on the package
and were pronounced very good, but
when chopped prunes, as bought, or
raisins, currants and citrons were
added they were really delicious.
Once tried, we are sure that the
small folks of the family will "beg
for their medicine" and have no
idea that it is good for them"
Doughnuts were also made accord
ing to a good standard recipe, using
half bran. They were excellent, and
served with coffee or sauce Of any
kind would be most enjoyable.

These two facts, together with the

The Institute enthusiastically
backed the home canning campaign
during the war, when food was
more important than money-its
cost was secondary; and we still
hold canning to be an important
home accomplishment for many.
But when labor saving and economy
are Of first Importance (speaking of
canning rather than Of preserving)
and considering the vast improve
ments in quality and diversity of
products that the commercial can
ners now offer, it seems plain that a
woman must consider carefully her
own facilities and costs in deciding
how much to can at home and how
much TO buy. Otherwise she may
have her labor for her pains largely.

apartment conditions Of work and
storage, and on market prices, the

may be adorned with concoctions

1t is real delight on opening a
can of any high grade fruit to find
such luscious appearing contents.

The canned fruits examined were

fruit and liquid found in cans of

which weighed eleven ounces. The

loganberries weighing one pound five
ounces contained 100 pieces of fruit,
which weighed eleven ounces. The

ned Fruits Of Quality With a Krumbled Bran

OK fruits should DO discarded, for In
them Is much Of the flavor and
aroma as we'll as the minerals Of the
1ruit- Even so short a time ago as
1912, DR.. Lorand warns against
fruit juices containing saccharin and
oor1c and salicylic acids and mar
malades that are more sugar than
fruit. But those were other times
and other manners-such. are I'M
known to the reputable Gamer of
to-day, thanks both to science and
the law.
Fruit Iron" Is Cheap
Less picturesque than DR.. Lo
rand's statements, but quite as con-
vlnclng, are the figures and facts
inarshaled by authorities such as
Leach and Winton and Sherman in
regard to the place of fruit in the
diet. The latter points out that in
proportion to cost we get much more
iron from fruits than from meats,
and that the ''fruit iron" is much
better absorbed than that in the
blood Of the meat tissues. More
over meats increase putrefaction in
the intestines, and fruits have lust
the opposite effect.
Most fruits have an alkalinizine
value, i. e., they help to keep the
blood alkaline instead of producing
acidity in the body. The relative
value of the following fruits for this
purpose is expressed by these num-
bers: Pineapple, 3o.8; peaches, 1856;
apricots, 26.e; grapes, 90; plums,
26.5. The pineapple is believed to
be especially beneficial for the throat
and it ranks high among the enemies
Of constipation. Its fragrance and
flavor need no commentator and
yet so valuable fruit is SO per cent
water, only o. per cent protein, 81
per cent sugars and O3 per cent
minerals. You cannot Judge of the
wholesomeness and value of fruits in
the dietary by a chemical analysis.
Their function is to keep the body
working smoothly; to create the
right conditions SO that the other
heavier foods can nourish you. And
fruits in the can help to do this
for you in the seasons when fresh
fruits are not to be had.
The Can in the Kitchen
The phrase 81 will try that recipe
when the fruits or berries come

seasons no more. Whatever the ap-
petite desires or the inventiveness
of the cook originates can be made
on short notice in the winter or
autumn as we'll as during the spring
or summer, thanks to the perfection
OF the canned fruits. We have with
US at Christmas and between sea-
sons Strawberries, blackberries,
peaches, apricots, pineapple, cher
ries and plums. Even choice brands
are within the reach of the purse
of moderate size.

Fruits in the Diet

Fruits were seasonal luxuries
once on a time, and not SO long ago
at that. No one thought that thew
were essentials; they were pleasures
And now comes science to tell us
on the one hand that we need fruits
all the year round (need them. per-
haps, especially in the winter to
counteract the heavier diet with
their succulence and acids), and on
the other hand to make this posi-

classes over previous decades. 1t
IS only one factor, but it has its
place. Ask a grandmother or even
a mother to recall the winter table
OF her childhood and see how bleak
and meager it is compared with
to-day's.
Echoes from Carlsbad
Some kind of fruit at breakfast
Is almost taken for granted nova
days. Fifty years ago it was rar-
lty. Both our dietetics and our

the fruit desserts are gaining
against the heavy, jndigestiblo pud-

This ingenious writer adds: "By

possible to successfully combat al

people who suffer from thirst in the
summer and who do not like to drink

many such-a refreshing drink that
will quench their thirst. For this
there is nothing more suitable and
