NEW FACTS ABOUT
 FOOD IN CANS
Idea That Food Spells in Cans When Opened
 Refuted

Of the many Superstitions about foods which even the most reason able of us believe, the one which makes most of us empty canned food into a dish as soon as the can IS opened, is about the most frequent. And yet one of the men who know most about food chemistry in this country Is authority for the state ment that the opened can is gener- ally the safest place. Dr F. V. Me Collum. noted biochemist of Johns Hopkins university, tells what science has discovered about canned fods, blastiong number of super stitions in McCalrs for February:
 "There is widespread belief that it Is dangerous to leave foods in an opened can. This Is not true. In general, foods remain in better con- dition until eaten If the unused DOT ton is kept in the can. Spoilage re- suits from exposure to dust, air and insects, and to the bacteria with which any dish may be covered. 1 There Is nothing about the can which will contribute to the spoil- age of the food.
 lover two hundred products now are packed in cans in this country. Each one requires special study in order to make it a superior product. Strange to say, there are still many people who do not realize that crops

 For years it has been well known that cooking tends to destroy cer- tain vitamins in food. This is not serious. however, except in the case of Vitamin C, which protects us against scurvy. Careful investiga- ton has proved that 1t Is combin- alton of heat and the oxygen Of the air which destroys this vitamin. Since in the canning of fruits and

fo canning are grown especially for that purpose under highly favorable conditions. The canneries are almost always located very near fields and orchards and other sources of sup- ply. since 1t is important that foods De canned in the shortest possible lime after they are harvested. The more promptly they are packed. the better appearance and flavor they will have.
 "A great deal of scientific work has been devoted in recent years to the study of problems relating to the conta1ner. It was discovered that req fruits and red vegeta bles soon lose their color when packed in plain tin cans. Cans for these foods are now coated inside with an enamel which helps them to retain their attractive appearance far longer than formerly.

NOurishing Breakfast Es= sential on Cold Winter Mornings

A we'll known home economist says that well balanced, nourishing breakfasts are essential on these cold winter mornings for those who wish to be at their highest efficiency for the days work. This meal follows the period of longest fast, and pre- cedes the hours when the best work of the day is accomplished. It IS foolish, therefore, to try to drive inadequately nourished bodies through busy morning.
 We all know this. yet We are like ly to neglect breakfast to a much greater extent than either of the other meals. The hurry of getting off to work or school in the morn- ing leaves little time for preparing or serving breakfast, and all too often menus are allowed to Slip into a rut and become uninteresting.
 It is easy, however, to serve d

vegetables the air is expelled from the cans before applying heat to them. little or no destruction of vitamin c takes place In the process of canning.
 Fruits are canned in syrup and this is served and eaten. Vegeta bles are canned in a liquor which Is largely water but which contains considerable amounts of vitamins and mineral salts extracted from the food. If this Is thrown away considerable food value will be lost. Avoid these losses by emptying the contents of the can into large saucepan and cooking until the de- sired amount of liquid has evap- orated."

A Quick Breakfast
 To Start Day Right

hot, nourishing breakfast without spending much time in preparation. Have 1t simple enough to be eaten teresting. This is not nearly so diff ficult as 1t might seem at first glance. Fruit, fruit juice, or the modern. popular tomato juice cocktails should begin every breakfast. These are not only welcome appetiZers, but are healthful and necessary and require no preparation. During the winter months, a cooked cereal with a gen. erous supply of rich milk is ideal. Fruit or tomato juice cocktails and cereal make nourishing breakfast, but for those who want a heavier meal, buttered toast with currant or grape jelly and crisp bacon can be added to the menu with scarcely moment preparation.
