CANNED FOOD PROBLEMS
STUDIED AT PULLMAN

Research concerning the problems
of canned foods is being conducted by
members of the state college summer
session class in food buying. Miss
Stella May Haywood, instructor in
foods and supervisor of the home
management house, teaches the course.
Data has been assembled about the
brands. quality, size, and prices Of
canned foods and vegetables. To sup
plement storekeepers' information, the
class examined unmarked cans of
peaches and pears, grading each ac-
cording to cannery standards. The re-
suits were compared with the whole
salers' labels.
After the research has been COM
pleted, the results will be mimeo-
graphed and distributed to members
OF the class for future home use.

Ing an unfair advantage last week to
mention the accident Mr.. John Nc

he turned 1t bottom side up on the
Bibbin's hill, but since everything
came out all right and the car has
been made as good as new we are 60
ing to tell what we heard about 1t.
Mr.. Mcintosh has been driving a
Ford car almost ever since they began
to make the things and had reached
the point that his foot was mighty
skillfui. When the new, latest model
Fords came on the market he decided
he must have one of them but de-
termined he was going to be careful,
realizing that he was liable to step on
the wrong gadget After some days
of studying and theoretical practice
he started out on the road. Mrs. Nc
Intosh refused to take a chance on
going with him, but her sister, Mrs.
Rowland was bit Drawer and Offer
ed herself as sacrifice. In the pro-
cess of shifting gears on the Bib
bins hill, Mr.. Mcintosh shifted
into reverse instead of low and the
Ford began to cut all manner of
capers finally upsetting beside the
road. Neither of the occupants were
injured but the shiny new car was
somewhat the worse for the expert
ence. 1t has, however, been all fixed
up, good as new, and Mr.. Mcintosh,
with true Scotch determination is
slowly mastering the intricacies OF the
new model. Mrs. Mcintosh has not
as yet enough courage in his ability
to trust herself with him, so when she
insists on going along her husband
drives the older Ford.

In view of the fact that the vashon

an invitation to play. All are hoping,
however, that this trip will prove the
exception to the rule.

DESSERT PREPARATIONS
POPULAR IN HOT WEATHER

The average housewife wants to
spend as little time as possible over
cookstove when the weather is hot.
And she can save some time and
energy, when preparing dessert for
the family by ordering package or
two of the many good dessert prepar-
atoms on the market. These articles,
including pudding powders, pie filters,
gelatine dessert powders, and others,
are available in many forms at low
prices and, when properly made. are
tasty and wholesome, says j. w. Sale,
of the Federal Food and Drug Ad-
ministration.
There are three principal ingredi-
ents of most dessert preparations
milk, eggs, and sugar. says Sale.
"These are required in nearly all des-
serts, but numerous recipes require
butter, baking powder, flavor, and
often corn starch or flour. With these
things in mind, reading labels on des-
sert preparations becomes a compar-
atively simple matter. When par
ticular article, such, for example, as a
pudding powder, does not contain all
the ingredients expected in such a
food, the label will declare what in
gradients should be added in the kit
chen.
Reading the label will help the pur-
chaser to get the most economical buy
for her money. For example, a COM
plete pudding powder is worth more
than an artificially colored and flavor
ed cornstarch to which one has to add
milk, eggs, and sugar. Labels on des-
sert preparations tell the buyer what
she is getting. She can Judge by the
price which is the better value of two
or more choices
Many dessert preparations are ar
officially colored and favored. A lem
on pie filling which contains genuine
lemon juice and grated rind is OBJ
viously superior to one which contains
added citric acid and Oil Of lemon for
flavor. The pure food law requires
that the presence of artificial color or
flavor in food be declared upon the
label.
In common with all other packaged
foods, labels on dessert preparations
are required by the Federal food and
drugs act to contain statement
which truthfully tells how much the
package holds

Seattle for their third annual picnic
which will attract North Carolinians
with their families and friends from
the remotest corners of the Sound and

as may well recall the days of long
ago.

is offering prize for the best plate
of corn pone" in evidence. Horse
shoe pitching aid other contests will

Or Colonial days are requested to
make exhibits.
Prizes will be offered for the oldest
and youngest native-born North Caro-

tiles of Woodland Park and the near
by bathing beaches of Green Lake will
provide diversion for those who are
not too busy renewing old acquaint-
ances.
More than eighty newspapers are
being requested to publish notice Of
the picnic, and larger attendance is
expected than ever before in the his
tory of the Society.
