Health Hints

~'es~o~@se~
Canned foods form an increasing
" large proportion of the American
diet. Many a housewife depends on
the can opener more than on
knowledge Of cooking for preparing
the family meals.'
AS = result scientific investiga-
tors are giving more and more at
tention to the quality Of canned
foods az compared with the fresh
foods, particularly a. relates to the
fundamental constituents Of the
diet, including the vitamins. the
mineral salts, the proteins. the car
bohydrates and the fats
Urge More Vegetables
Experts In diet have urged q
greater consumption of vegetables
and fruits largely because Of their
vitamin content. mineral salts and
alkaline effect on the body.
1t was formerly thought that tho
vitamins were destroyed by the
cooking incidental to canning.
Later 1t was found that it u the
oxidation that destroys the Vita
Minis rather than the cooking.
Modern canning processes avoid
oxidation. SO that some CONNER
cially canned products are richer
in vitamins than home cooked
foods.
In a recent consideration Of the
subject, DR.. E. F. Holman notes
that the raw fruits and vegetables
have been found to lose vitamins
on storage.
Peas held in the pods for six
days In a cool place lost some OF
their vitmain content. Apples held
in cold storage from October to
April lost half their vitamin c con-
tent. whereas apples canned in Oc-
tober from tho same lot still had
their original vitamin content eight
months later.
Canned tomatoes and canned
spinach have been tested three
years after canning. and the evil
dence did not indicate any appre-
cable loss of vitamins. Indeed
the canned tomatoes, after three
years, were ~ rich in vitamins al
raw tomatoes. Canned strawber.
ries were also found to equal raw
Strawberries in vitamin content.
Vitamin Content
Among some Of the important
facts now made available by koh.

WILL DEVELOP
USSR UTILITIES
Foreign Concessions to
Be Granted

MOSCOW, Sept. 2S.-Following
the change in the policy of the So
Wet Government, which is more ia
vorable to foreign capital invest
ment in concessions, the Concessions
Committee has announced t h t
foreign capital would be welcome in
helping to develope the public util-
tiles in sixty principle cities.
The announcement says that the
population in the cities is growing
with great speed and that 20 per
cent increase is expected during the
next five years. To meet this, an
expansion in city utilities, at a cost
amounting to about a billion and
one half rubles will be necessary of
which foreign concerns are asked to
invest about 4O0,000,000 rubles on a
concession basis. These concessions
will be subject to the same restric-
tons as previous ones, namely that
at the end of a certain period all
the developments are to be handed
over to the Soviet Government.

Baldwin Shifts Stress
at Conference

GREAT YARMOUTH, England,
Sept. 28.-Prime Minister Baldwin
of England admitted that the real
danger facing England now was the
threat" of Communism and the ex-
IRENE laborites and Communists
among the British working class, at
the conference of the conservative
party here today.
A conference had previously
adopted a aesolution that would
make the chief issue in the coming
election campaign the question of
safe guarding" the coal and iror
industries and declared itself in ia
vor of stronge protective tariff.
Baldwin in his speech, in part to
save the tories from a split on the
protective tariff, mostly to meet the
of the Macdonald labor
party, shifted the emphasis to the
danger of the militant working class
which, he said, MacDon-
aid and his group could no longer
control.
The maneuver was largely due,
it is thought, to the danger of a
conservative party split and the
possibility of a MacDonald-Liberal
coalition gaining power.
