HINTS ON CARE
OF STAPLE FOOD
Give Proper Attention to
Storing Perishables.
By EDITH M. BARBER

What is a staple food? The defini.
ton given by the dictionary is ''un-
manufactured or raw material" In
more general sense the term covers
food which is or should be kept on
hand to use as a foundation for our
daily meal plan.
Staples in this sense must have the
property of keeping well so that we
need take no particular precaution
about keeping them. We also must
have on hand other foods in smaller
quantities which may need more or
less attention as far as care is con-
cerned. sa
In the small apartments in which
many of us dwell there may be the lat
est method of refrigeration, but it is
likely to be in q small unit which for.
bids our buying perishable food in a
large quantity, which could be Kept
some time with the aid of the con-
sistently low temperature that II is
possible to maintain with automatic
control. There is also little storage
space attached to the average modern
kitchen and it is not possible for us
to buy our potatoes apples or onions,
for instance, by the basket, and GER
tainly not by the barrel, as was the
custom in my childhood in a small
town.
Today many of our perishable foods
are put in baskets or crates instead
of barrels for shipment. Even when
you have room for storage, you may
find that in your well-heated apart
ment, foods do not keep long enough
to pay to buy them in large Quanti-
ties Homes are now being built with
cold closets to take care of such food,
but apartments generally lack them.
1t is wise idea to check. each time
you do your marketing, your supplies
of perishable staples as we'll as the
others. Those which certainly belong
in the perishable list are butter, eggs,
potatoes Cloth white and sweet at this
time of year,, lemons, oranges, apples,
dried fruits, onions cabbage and let
tuce Others which may deserve men
tion here are grapefruit, grapes, pars
ley, celery, green peppers and garlic.
Don't hold up your hands in horror
at the idea of keeping garlic in the
home. There is practically no odor
from garlic unless the skin on one of
the little "cloyes" which make up the
whole is broken. | always keep garlic
/ in paper bag and twist the end of it.
The best way to keep lettuce celery
or green peppers is in an enameled dish
or glass in the refrigerator Such dishes
have covers which do not fit quite
! tight. Special refrigerator dishes come
in all sizes, especially for this .pur-
pose. Tomatoes and any other vegeta-
bles which have been washed may be
kept in the same compartment. An
other dish of this sort may be used
for oranges and lemons, which dry out
eventually but seldom are they kept
long enough to have need to store
them.
Oranges have been selling recently
at some stores at bargain prices and
it may pay you to invest in several
dozen at a time If you have facilities
for keeping them cool. Bananas must,
of course, not be put into the refrig.

How It Started
By Ee0zR NelDfOza
Why Do We Call 1t Cancer"

WE WOULD hardly suspect that
Wv there was any relationship be-
tween the words "cancer" and "crab,"
yet, that is how it started.
We have our word cancer" from
the identical Latin word meaning "a
crab" the word itself being taken
from the Greek. in which language it
had the same meaning.
However, the Greeks thought that
the swollen veins accompanying GER
tain diseases. among which are what
we know as cancer and canker, re-
sembled crabs claws.
And so, they applied this same word
to the diseases-an application which
has stuck in our language all through
the centuries though canker and can
Ger of course, have long since been
separated into their modern medical
categories.

There has been an effort to revive

TIE JOY OF GIVING
BY r, A. Adams

(For The Literary Service Bureau)
The Christmas season affords OPP
%portunity to test the truth and the
force Of PauI's declaration found in
Acts 20:35 which runs, "It is more
blessed to give than to receive, A lib
eral translation would be, more hap
piness comes from giving than from
receiving" In this age of calloused
selishness it might be very difficult
to convince people that this is true
that this pronouncement is not just
another theory. But, whoever has
tried it has found it really 50; that
the greatest joy is the joy of giving.
The custom of giving, at this sea-
son is supposed to commemorate
Gods Gift to the world, as specified
in John 3:14 and in many other pas
sages. Paul speaks Of Christ as
Goods u~nspeakable Gift. His mean
ing is a Gift the value Of which can
not be expressed. In our Christmas
giving we are wont to make presents
to those who are able and who may
be disposed to ~reciprocate. There
may come a measure of joy from such
but the real joy, the superla-
tive joy will come to those who give
to others who are really in need. At
this season, let US share our joy. If
we do we will, in this way and by
such efforts multiply our own store
joy. Whoever doubts it would do
we'll to test it.

LAZY BONES STEPIN FETCHEI
GETS ANOTHER CHANCE
IN THE MOVIES

Hollywood-(CNS)- Reports have
it that Stepin Fetchet, a subdued and
chastened young man, has returned
to the Fox Movietone Studio. 1t is
claimed that "a new chapter is being
written into the history of the pro-
fessional career of that languorous
Senegambian who surely must have
been the living model for Lazy Bones
the anthem Of the lethargic."
AS the story runs Lionel Barry
more, the distinguished actor, direc-
tor, artist and critic, is quoted as say
ing: "the late Bert Williams, at the
peak of his form, was never half as
good as Stepin Fetchet."
Concerning that statement, how
ever, many will rise to dispute it.
However, Barrymore is in scene after
scene with the Negro comic in Cali
fornia"-which is by way of being
the screen version of Paul Green's
"The House of Connelly"-and gets
an ever-increasing kick out of each
succeeding sequence.
"Stepin, without even trying, says
Mr.. Barrymore, "could steal a scene
from any living man or woman"

Stepin Fetchet did all manner Of
things that made him the laughing
stock Of everybody. AT one time he
owned four automobiles Of the big
gest and costliest models and had a
different chauffeur in a different uni
form for each car. The uniforms
were a cross between those worn by
a Swiss admiral and the Emperor
Jones. Ana on the back Of each car
there was a big sign bearing the
name Of Stepin Fetchet, which at
night blazed out upon the startled

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
Ny dear Children:
Christmas is the season of "Peace
on earth and good will to men,. Dur
ing the year just about past there
have been many heart-aches and
much sorrow on account of love.
Envy, jealousy, covetousness, and
downright hatred have featured, in
many cases. Unfaithfulness, decep-
ton and the "green-eyed monster"
jealousy have caused many estrange-
ments and many actual separations.
Christmas and finds many hu-
man beings with wounded hearts
and with bitterness toward those who
have wronged them, of those proved
unfaithful. And this is not a false
picture.
Many errant one are in prison
penalized for crimes committed in the
name Of love. Others are in their
graves as the result Of the perfidy Of
some one who was loved and trusted
and who proved false. Thus, love,
the greatest passion and the supreme
gift has been prostituted and made
destructive when it should have been
used benevolently and made contribu-
tory to human happiness. Now, let
us retrospect. Let us examine our
selves. Have we played the game
fair? Have we wronged any, in this
respect? If we have we should ask
forgiveness of the person wronged
and of "the Great Forgiven" Then,
we should forgive those who have
wronged US. In this way we will be
able to help bring in the al of
peace on earth and good will toward
men,"
Sincerely yours,
