Guard Against Contamination

Some states require the pasteur-
ization of the milk or cream used
in manufacturing ice cream; 9TH
ers stipulate that the entire mix
must be pasteurized before freez-
ing. These measures are desira-
BILE, as ice cream requires the
same scrupulous care that should
be given to milk and cream.
Because of the possibilities for
contamination, several precau-
ti0ns should be observed in buy
ing ice cream. Choose cream
manufactured by a reputable con-
Germ. Be sure to buy from a deal
er who keeps it well frozen, for
ice cream that has been melted
and frozen again may be danger
Gus, owing to the opportunity for
the multiplication of bacteria
while it was melted. See to it,
also, that the dealer uses sanitary
methods in dispensing.

hot coffee. But it has been DEM
onstrated that just the opposite is
true. The coffee raises the tenn.
perature of the food in the stOm-
ach and thus modifies the cooling
effect of the ice cream.
Another common question con-
Germs the effect of cake or pie a
la mode. Experiments indicate
that eating ice cream with cake
or pie produces a more satisfac-
tory gastric juice than when either
of these foods is eaten alone. One
must take into consideration, how
ever, that cake or pie la mode is
a rich combination and plan the
remainder of the meal accord
ingly.

Deaf Musicians

Several schools for the deaf
have full-fiedged military bands,
playing standard instruments. :.
The sense of touch is closely re-
lated to the sense of hearing.
Therefore, with the aid of a highly
developed sense of touch, the deaf
may learn to distinguish time, in
tensity, pitch and even melody.
BY careful training deaf nlu-
sicians may learn to detect err
rors in their own playing. ;.
Easiest instrument for them is the
drum, which, of course. is vi
bration instrument.

Use More Ice Cream

1t has been estimated that five
billion pounds of milk are used
each year in the production Of
commercial ice cream, which pro-
vides about three gallons of ice
cream per capita. The amounts
of ice cream made at home will
raise this figure somewhat. But
the amount consumed may well
be further increased, because
when properly made from pure
ingredients, ice cream deserves to
rank with other dairy products
among our most wholesome and
nourishing foods.

Effect on Digestion

One frequently hears the ques-

cream retard the digestion of 9TH

slow up slightly the emptying time
of the stomach but this delay is
without significance and is more
than compensated for by the i'm

have followed the development of
novel packaging methods.
Progressive farmers, many of
whom have taken advantage of CO.
operative movements to bolster the
marketability of the crops, are
keeping finger on the pulse of all
products moving under a packaging
stinulant. They have seen celery
acreages jump 1914 per cent in
four years, and have seen celery
farm values skyrocket from $14,-
996, 1000 to $685. 900 in a single
year.
Celery Makes a Noise.
During the past few years groups
of the 446, 400 growers in the three
main celery-producing states have
put their heads together on packag-
ing problems. The most recent pro-
gram was that of the Muskegon Co.
operative Celery Growers associa-
ton, in Michigan. They decided on
trim, decorated can in an easy
to-carry cardboard container, which
appeared on the market several
months ago.
AS an example of what can be
accomplished by modernized mer-
chandising methods, agricultural
experts point to the growth of $50
per cent in the shipments of Flor
ida lines during three years in
which the fruit was available to the
public in small, attractive pack
ages.
Tomatoes in Full Dress.
Innumerable devices for getting
tomatoes before the public in a doz-
en- different forms have been
brought forth recently, and during
the past II years there has been an
increase of tomato production by
more than 500, 100000 pounds a year.
One dramatic example of how a
neat package can act as hypoder-
mic on sluggish sales was demon
strated recently in Birmingham, AL
ALBANIA, under the watchful scrutiny
of the IL main tomato growing
states 100000 farmers. Following
an ideal growing season of plentiful
rain, Birmingham found its markets
overlooking with tomatoes, a highly
perishable product. The situation
required quick action and growers
turned for solution to an agency
which had been employed by farm
ers elsewhere when faced with a
surplus.
Reports indicated that a similar
situation had faced California peach
growers and showed how the pro-
ducers there had taken the dilemma
by the horns and turned what might
have been one of their most ruinous
years into a profitable one.
In January, 1886, warehouses
were bullying with carry-over of
6,469, 900 cases of peaches-a figure
70 per cent greater than that of the
previous year. Gamers were offer
ing farmers only $14 to SIS a ton
for the oncoming crop, which was
less than the cost of production.
Grocers to the Rescue.
The situation required quick dis
posal of the carry-over in order
that the prices Of the new crop could
be stabilized and farm incomes
saved. They turned to the retail
stores to take advantage, if possible,
of their mass buying and mass dis
tribution systems.
A sterilization committee was set
up and it Immediately conferred
with the National Association of
Food Chains-a group representing
$1,000 grocery stores-with a plan
for staging nationwide canned
peach sale. The association agreed
