TASTE TEST BEST
ICE CREAM GUIDE
Tongue Precise Instrumen. in
Gauging Quality.

Washington.-Theh human tongue is
better scientific instrument than it
is usually credited with being, at least
so far as the great American dish.
ice cream, is concerned. Recent eX-
periments made by the United States
Department of Agriculture Indicate
a rather close correspondence between
the taste test" of a large number of
persons and the more precise deter
limitations Of quality made by instru-
mental means.
The first test involved three Ice
creams of varying butterfat content.
These. containing 1S Is and II per
cent, were fed to fifty dairy pur-
chasers for a period of ten days. In
each instance freezing and hardening
conditions were alike, the consumer
changing his choice at will. The re-
suit was that 81 per cent of the sam
piers favored the ice cream of Is per
cent butterfat content.
The second test proposed to show
whether or not sugar strongly af-
fects the palatability of ice cream. An
experiment was made with mixes con-
tanning 10, Is and 13 per cent of cane
sugar. About 80 per cent of the con-
sumers preferred the IS per cent COM
position.
The third experiment tested the eff
feet of nonfat milk solids on the pal
atability of ice cream. For a period
of six weeks three mixes of II, and
per cent nonfat milk solids were
sold. More than so per cent of the
1,1S5 sales showed preference for d
9 per cent nonfat milk solid rather
than the commercial ice cream with
but 6 per cent.
a debated point among ice cream
magnates concerns the popularity of
ice cream containing gelatin. For
years 1t was used as a stabilizer, that
IS. to prevent the ready formation of
ice crystals. Nowadays iceless refrie-
GRAFTON eliminates that possibility. so
many manufacturers do without gel
attn altogether.
Yet some persons prefer the smooth
taste gelatin gives to ice cream. In
deed. experiment 4 showed that some
63 per cent of 394 purchasers pre-
ferred ice cream with l per cent gela-
tin. Twenty-three per cent wanted ice
cream entirely without it and the
others insisted on a content of O.5 per
cent.

rfust Support Your Poor
Relatives, Says Judge

Chicago-If there is child, an
aged person or a cripple in your fam
ily. you may find yourself compelled
by law to support him.
That was announced by County
Judge Edmund X Jarecki. before
whom all cases Of INDECENT persons
are brought for commitment to char

And the order in which relatives are
liable for the support of poor rela-
ti0ns IS:
First, the father must support a

father; third, the mother. and then
the grandmother.
In the case of aged or infrm men
or women, their children, if they have
any, must pay for tleir keep. If not
4 brother must foot the bills, and, If
they are without brothers, their sisters
are responsible providing they are un-
married If they are married and
have no separate property, then and
only then-are the Golfers of Cook
county open to them for food and
shelter.
Hereafter when a person applies
to this court for charity we shall call
every relative ne has to determine
whether they can take care of him."
Judge Jarecki said.
And in accordance with his new reg

Local Merchants Hear H. H.
Dammann of the Martin
County Association.
TALKED MONDAY NIGHT
A Credit Association Benefiting
All is in Form of Making
by Redwood Falls Men.

That Redwood Falls will have a
Credit Rating Association was parti-
ally assured when last Monday night
approximately twenty-five local mer-
chants met at the City Hall to hear
III. H. Dammann, secretary of the
Martin County Business Mems As
sociation of Fairmont, MINI. Mr..
Dammann was secured to speak to
the Redwood Falls business men
through the efforts of the Redwood
Falls Merchants Association.
Mr.. Dammann gave an interesting
talk on Credit and Collections in
which he explained the Martin Coun-
ty system of rating, which has been
built up in the past few years so that
at the present time it is one of the
most effective credit rating systms
in the state.
The speaker started his talk with
a quotation from Roger w. Babson
in which the financial wizard stated
that the four cornerstones of success
are: Character, 2-Health, 3-In-
telligence and Judgment, and A.
Credit. "Given these four" said the
speaker, "any man should succeed; !;
but omit any one of these four and
although man may apparently sue
ceed, his success will be only tempor-
ary.
1T is not my purpose to show a
brief for the credit systems that are
being used today" said Mr.. DAM
mann, Il do believe that the present
area of prosperity which is made
through the use of credit, shows very
clearly that the system itself is good,
and that the future of credit grant
ing depends entirely upon the credit
grantor. Satisfies show that INSTALL
ment buying in dollars and cents has
increased very little in the past two
or three years. The installment sys-
TEN has been in existence for hun
and as long as an individual pays his
obligations promptly, that individual
is privileged to buy and spend his
money wherever he chooses.
