new taste thrills. Man, being an
omnivorous animal, goes for everything
from pistachio nuts to pachyderm's
feet.
I'VE even have new refinements in
dog food. One of the latest is a
canned food In liquid form for pup
pies and young dogs. and along with
each can comes a booklet of feeding
instructions. First We had dated cof-
fee, followed by dated macaroni and
packaged dried fruits, and now comes
assuring us by means of date on the
can that his canine chow is never
sold when stale

THIS year. New Jersey peach
growers have improved the blush
on that luscious fruit by shaving off
the fuzz which in the past has been
common cause of consumer complaint
A series of stiff brushes attached to
sorting machines does the work. And
common chewing gum has been
equipped with new selling point
through the admixture of bicarbonate
of soda with the mint f1avoring and
the usual chicle and sugar. 1t is sold
under the slogan, "A purpose for chew
ing'-the suggested purpose being re-
lated to bicarbonates reputed function
as an alkaliZer and energy renewer.
In some cases We find food products
being diverted to other uses. From
Holland comes the report that a new
outlet for surplus milk is being tested.
1t Is said that large rayon manu-
facturer will soon open a factory to
produce an artificial wool made from
SKINNED milk. and from China we
hear of Diesel-type motor using
4l0 gallons of vegetable oil of vari-
Gus kinds-cottonseed, peanut, tung,
poppyseed and cabbage seed-on a test
run of 1000 miles.

is prepared to make a test in some
major market. In addition to all the
orange but the seeds and skin, the
new breakfast food contains bran
flour, sugar, salt and a modicum of cod
liver oil, the latter supplying the only
vitamin not present in the orange.
THE Scotchman of the old story.
you may remember, had bread and
cheese for lunch every day, carving
his cheese in bit of a bottle and
rubbing his bread on the outside. But
now the frugal luncher can buy, all
in one cellophane bag, a Is. -ounce
collapsible tube of nut spread and
packet Of crackers and make the
most of an energy snack.

Economy is the sales appeal Of
new marmalade concentrate. 1t costs
