Read Labels on Bottles Before Buying

of Agriculture )-wNU Service.
When you go into grocery store to
buy the family goods, do you read
carefully the labels on the bottles or
packages you select? Do you trust to
your eyes in estimating the quantity
in each container, or do you find out
from the label exactly what you are
getting for your money? Do you COM
pare articles of one brand with those
Of another, both in quantity and quail
the label declares artificial coloring or
flavoring?
Labels must tell truthfully what
kind of material package. bottle. or
can Of food contains, and what guam
tity. The statement on the label
should not be misleading in any way
to the consumer. Sometimes, how
ever, it may be truthful and still mis-
leading. Again, the appearance Of the
container may be misleading, and if
the statement on the label is over
looked, the buyer gets poor value.
The food and drug administration
of the United States Department of
Agriculture urges every housewife to
scrutinize the labels on every kind of
food she buys, as well as ON the drugs
she needs in her household. In the
case of foods, it has been found that
most manufacturers and packers have
shown a satisfactory disposition to
meet the demands for truthful label
ing, but occasionally it is evident that
there is some attempt to give the con-
sumner less value than she thinks she
is getting.
Take the two bottles illustrated.
Bottles of peculiar shape, with thick
sides and bottoms, like the taller of

Eagle.
So off went young Edgar Eagle and
the two-year-old eagle, and they had
many flying adventures.
Edgar taught him spleasdid lessons
about flying and it certainly was fine
for the young eagle to have such a
superior and wise eagle teacher.
Just think, he was being so friendly
and he was whole year older and
was really full-grown eagle.

AS in cooking other roast meats, the
use of q thermometer when roasting
fresh ham removes the guesswork.
This is particularly important in the
case of pork. which should always
be served well-done. Thorough cook
ing is necessary. because pork some
times contains the trichina parasite,
which. If not destroyed, may cause ILL
ness. Since this organism is killed
when heated to 1877 degrees Fahren-
heit, there is ample margin of safety
when pork is cooked to the well-done
stage, 1872 degrees Fahrenheit.
The following directions for cook
ing fresh ham are given by the bu-
reau of home economics of the United
States Department Of Agriculture:
Wipe the ham with damp cloth
and leave the rind on. The ham will
cook more quickly and shrink less
when the rind is not removed. Sprin-
kle the surface of the meat with salt
and pepper and rub with flour. Place
the ham, rind side up, on rack in an
open roasting pan, without water.
Make a small incision through the
rind with sharp knife or steel skew
er, cut short gashes around it with
scissors, and insert a roast-meat Their
mometer through the opening so that
it's bulb reaches the center Of the
fleshiest portion of the ham.
Place the pan containing the ham
in a hot oven (4S0 degrees Fahren-
heit) and scar for about 20 minutes.
Then reduce the oven temperature
rapidly to very moderate heat 600
degrees to 325 degrees) and continue
the cooking at this temperature until
the roast meat thermometer in the
ham registers 1872 degrees. Between
% and 80 minutes per pound will
probably be required when these oven
temperatures are used. Do not add
water and do not cover the meat dur
ing the roasting.
When the ham is done remove it
from the oven and carefully take off
the rind. To remove the rind easily
break through it on the feshy side at

Consider the Shrinkage
When Cooking Roasts

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture. )-WNU Service.
When a housewife cooks rib roast
of beef or leg of lamb she must con-
slider how much loss there is likely to
be from shrinkage. Naturally she
wants the meat to "go as far" as pos
sible. Dietitians in schools, hospitals,
and other institutions have the same
problem on a larger scale; they must
be able to estimate both the number
of servings and also the nutritive val
ue Of each serving. Shrinkage of meat
during cooking means a dollars and
cents loss to the manager of res
taurant, cafeteria, or hotel dining
room, or to a delicatessen where
cooked meat is sold. The shrinkage af-
fects the appearance, palatability and
nutritive value.
In the last four years the bureau of
home economics of the United States

operative study Of the factors that in
fluence the palatability of meat. There
seems to be a close relation between
shrinkage and oven temperature; that
is, when meat is roasted from start to
finish in a very hot oven the shrink
age is greater than when the meat is
first scared at high temperature and
then finished slowly with the temper
allure rapidly reduced. For example.
If, after beef ribs have been scared in
a hot oven, the temperature is rapidly
reduced so as to finish the cooking

Of the fat, as that is the healing agent.
Cover with cold water and simmer
for several hours, strain through
cheesecloth; add a tablespoonful of
boiled rice or barley when serving.
Usually, all fat is removed before
serving, except in the above condition.
To remove the fat chill, remove the
fat and reheat.
Hot Cinnamon Strawberry Toast
Toast bread well on both sides, spread
literally with butter, sugar and Gin
namon well mixed. Beat an egg light

this batter and fry brown on both
sides. Serve with afternoon tea.

very slowly, the shrinkage Of the meat
when rare is only about one-eighth of

ing goes on to the end in hot oven
the shrinkage is about one-fourth of
the fresh weight.
Well-done beef shrinks more than
rare beef, other things being equal.
WelJ-finished, high-grade beef and
lamb roasts lose more fat and less

meat of the same kind and cut.
