General Rules
Everv Housewife Should Know
Care of Food in
the Home
Last Installment

All fruits and vegetables that are to
be eaten raw should be thoroughly
washed, for even though they look
clean, dangerous bacteria may cling to
skins or leaves. AS rule, uncoOked
meats of any kind should not be eaten.
Smoking meats does not kill parasites.
Leftover cooked foods should be
kept cold and covered, used promptly,
especially in warm weather; and II
possible, heated thoroughly before be-
ing served again. Dangerous poisons
sometimes develop in such foods with
out making noticeable changes in taste
or smell.
Fats or fat foods, such as nut meats
and chocolate, should be kept cool and
in covered light-proof containers to
prevent their turning rancid.
Bread and cake should be stored in
a covered box or dish which is scalded
frequently so that molds cannot de-
velop.
Flour, sugar, cereals and other dry
groceries should be kept dry and pro-
tected from household pests. Tea, cof-
fee and spices hold their flavor best in
air-tight containers.
Canned foods keep best in. a cool,
dry closet or storeroom. Those in glass
jars should be shielded from the light
to prevent possible fading.
Under household conditions, the re-
frigerator is oftentimes the best way OF
keeping food cool. 1t is we'll to choose

TN our April and May numbers we
published two articles pertaining to
care of food in the home, namely
causes of Spoilage" and Storage.
We hope our readers read them with
care, for they are instructive and pave
the way for economy in more ways than
one. These general rules conclude the
treatise. 1t is virtually resume of the
two articles referred to. Truly, they
are we'll worth reading thoroughly and
painstakingly.
Food costs labor or money or both;
therefore it should receive the best care
in the home. Moreover, clean food is
necessary to health and well-being
Some of the most important kinds are
highly perish able and require careful
handling.
Food must be safegu arded from
spoilage by bacteria, yeasts and molds,
by changes produced by heat and cold,
light and loss or absorption of moisture,
by insects and household pests, and by
animal parasites The following are
general rules for preventing food spoil
age in the home:
All foods should Of course be kept
clean; that is, protected from visible
dirt and from contamin alton by insects
and other carriers of dangerous micro
organisms. Most kinds should also be
kept cool. Dry foods, such as crackers,
need to be prevented from absorbing

tainers into it and keep 1t

Lastly, adequate storage

for economy and safety in

Preserve that Real Fresh Strawberry
Taste in Jam and Jelly
BY ANN PROCTOR.

In the following recipe two quarts Of
strawberries will make thirteen glasses
of strawberry jam. Mrs. Housewife can
make this amount any morning without
upsetting her housework routine, and
Miss Business Woman can do the same
in her kitchenette after dinner and still
have time for a game Of bridge or nah
jong.
For Crushed Strawberry Jam it is
necessary that each berry be broken up.
Therefore, crush about quarts of ripe
berries in separate portions, so that
each berry is mashed This allows fruit
to quickly absorb the sugar during the
short boil. Measure level cups (2 lbs.)
crushed berries into large kettle, add
level cups g lbs.) sugar and mix well.
Use hottest fire and stir constantly be-
fore and while boiling. Boil hard for
one full minute, remove from fire and
stir in Z bottle (scant !, cup) concen-

The strawberry urge is at hand.
Housewives, now that the first real,
honest-to-goodness homegrown straw
berries with that unmistakable ripe
picked aroma and flavor are in the
market, are hurrying to preserve this
goodness in the form of jams and jel
lies for next winter.
Formerly strawberry jelly was an
impossibility and strawberry jam diff
cult to make without long boiling that
harmed both taste and color. The rea-
son for this was that the strawberry is
deficient in that jelly making substance
known as pectin, which, when boiled
with sugar, makes the fruit juice set, or
jell.
Today, however, it is quite simple
matter to make both strawberry jam
and jelly, perfect in taste, consistency
and color and with only one minutes
boiling. This change has come about

1924 SUGAR BEET CROP
SHOWS A $50 GAIN

NEW YORK, July 2s.-American
farmers have planted 915. 900 acres OF
sugar beets this year as compared
with 733, 900 acres in 1923 and 6O6 900
acres in 1922, reports Facts About Sug-
ar. This is gain OF nearly 25 per
cent over the area devited to the crop
last year. and with favorable growing
conditions should result in the pro
duction of over 1000. .OOO, 900 pounds of
sugar.
Colorado is the leading state in the
extent of its sugar beet paintings,
having 2373O1 acres. Next comes MI

creased acreage. In the Rocky Noun.
tain section and in the central states
the condition OF the crop is reported
fully up to the average OF previous
years and in some localities better
than average. In Michigan field con-
ditions are exceptionally good.
While the gross value OF the crop
probably will be larger than in any
one OF the past three years farmers
are not likely to obtain as large a rev

they did in 1928. On account OF the
