CARELESS HANDLING

Dangerous MiCrO-organisms Are
Found Everywhere.
Guard Against Enemies Of Human
Race by Protecting Food From
Dirt, Filth and Flies and
Keep 1t in Clean Place.

Dangerous heterogeneous, known
as germs" as well as those which cause
food to spoil, are often to be found in
food which has been careleSsly ham
died. Typhoid and scarlet fevers,
tuberculosis, colds, influenza, diph-
liberia. and other diseases may be
carried by food. Most SO-called food
poisoning is due to harmful micro
organisms carried into the body by
food which has been contaminated
either by accident or carelessneSs.
These organisms are to be found
everywhere, but especially in dust,
dirt and filth. They are often carried
by flies, vermin and household pests.
They may also get into food from I'M
washed hands or from dishes which
may appear clean but are not.
To guard against these microscopic
enemies of the human race, protect
the food from dirt, filth and flies by
keeping II in clean places and in
clean receptacles, say Department OF
Agriculture specialists. Insist that
every person who handles food or
dishes washes the hands before be-
ginning work, scalds all the dishes,
dries them with towels washed out in
boiling water, or drains them dry.
Care should be taken to cover the
mouth and nose in sneezing and
coughing, particularly when near food.

How Times Change!

Something in the movies or on the
stage is disturbing to the ideas of
those who see it. Forthwith they ar
que 1t should be suppressed.
This is In cheerful disregard of the
fact that what seems shocking in one
period becomes commonplace in the
next.
There was John Evelyn, English
writer and diarist, founder of the
Royal academy, who died in 1905.
What shocked him was women be-
ing on the stage at all. His idea was
that a play isn't nice unless the wom-
an characters are played by men.
Many agreed with him, in his pc
Rod. But what would be said now
about a proposal that no women be

Fry your doughnuts no longer than
necessary. Frying doughnuts In fat
that Is not hot enough, or rolling and
cutting them so that they are too
thick to cook through in a short time,
or failure on the part Of the cook to
judge when they are done, or any 9TH
er cause that keeps them in the fat
too long, tends to make them greasy.
Testing the temperature of the fat
with thermometer Is the best method
In frying dOughnuts. Other methods,
though sometimes successful are un-
certain. A temperature of 1876 degrees
Centrigrade, or 1856 degrees Fahren-
heit, has been found satisfactory.
Doughnuts rolled about y inch thick
can usually be fried In minutes at
this temperature II they are turned to
make them brown evenly; or they may
be fried In III minutes II forced under
the surface Of the fat during frying.
Frying With a Basket.
1t was found that the use Of some
device to force the doughnuts under
the surface of the fat was the most
satisfactory method of frying. An Or
binary wire frying basket, with a bail
and slightly smaller In diameter than
the frying kettle, can be used. When
the dOughnuts first rise to the surface
Of the fat, lower the empty basket
over them under the surface Of the
fat. Doughnuts fried by this method
absorb less fat, brown evenly, and
are much less apt to crack than when
turned in frying. The basket can be
used for draining the doughnuts after
they are removed from the fat.
