HANDLE FRUITS WITH CARE
All Produce Coming From Market
Should Be Carefully Washed in
Several Waters.

Vegetables and fruits that are to be
served raw must be handled and pre-
pared with great care. Most people
will agree that such fruits as apples,
oranges, and pears may be considered
clean if they are picked from the trees
in the orchard far enough from the
road to escape dust. If they drop to
the ground on clean grass, they may
still be eaten without much risk, al
though there will be more chance for
their being contaminated with disease
producing bacteria. There may some
times be danger from poisons used in
spraying fruit. All such fruits and all
fresh fruits and vegetables, which
come from the market should be thor
oughly washed in several waters
apples and other large fruits, with un-
broken skins may be safely washed
with soap.
Dried fruits should be particularly
well washed, warns the United States
Department of Agriculture. If they
are then put into warm oven to dry,
they will absorb the water that clings
to them and thus be softcned and i'm
proved in taste. Dipping in boiling
water kills many, If not all, of the
bacteria and other organisms that are
likely TO cling to fresh fruit and does
not injure the flavor of many kinds
even when they are kept immersed for
several seconds. For instance, grapes,
apples. pears, peaches and plums, are
not injured by this treatment, and un-
ripe Strawberries are often improved
by it. A wire frying basket for hold
ing the fruit will be found con-
venience.
