canned foods are wholesome for
children; whether or not canned
foods may spoil on the grocer's
shelves; and if it is dangerous to
eat foods that have stood in the
can for few minutes after be-
ing opened.
To discount the value of modern
canned foods is to display lack
of knowledge as to how these foods
are harvested, prepared and
packed. And the failure to use
them may result in depriving your
family of essential minerals and
vitaminS.
There are available in cans to-
day, 46 varieties of vegetables, 33
kinds of fruit, and 10 different
juices, besides soups, numerous
specialties and several kinds of
fish. Every one of these presents
a healthful and nutritious food in a
form that is often superior to the
same foods cooked at home. That
is partly because of the methods
employed and partly because
canned foods are processed at the
peak of their flavor and freshness.

Green Vegetables for Iron

Fruits and vegetables supply
varying amounts of practically ev-
cry mineral element the body re-
quires.
They do not compare with milk
as a source of calcium, but SUBJ
stantial amounts of this bone-and-
tooth-building substance are to be
found in leaf and stem vegetables,
carrots, oranges, figs and straw
berries. Moreover, Investigations
have demonstrated that calcium
from vegetables is well utilized by
adults.
Green vegetables. in general,
are outstanding as a source of
iron. And it has been further eS-
tabliShed that their iron is better
absorbed and becomes more COM
pletely available for nutrition than
iron from some other sources.
Some fruits are also valued for
their iron content, the more nota-
bic including oranges; tomatoes.
which are botanically a fruit,
though they are classed as vege-
table; Strawberries, blackberries,
raspberries and huckleberries;
and dried figs, dates and prunes.

WHAT to EAT and WHY

the moment their rich nourish-
ment is sealed in cans.
Similarly the fruits and vege-
tables designed for canning are al
lowed to mature on tree or vine.
This means that they develop
maximum flavor and vitamin con-
tent. Then they are picked, rushed
to nearby canneries and hermeti-
cally sealed in cans. The sealed
cans are then cooked at high heat
so as to destroy any bacteria
which might be present. Because
they are protected from the air
during the cooking process, and
because the cooking liquors are
sealed in the cans, they retain
maximum amount of minerals and
vitanx1s. 1t is because canned
foods are so definitely superior in
this respect that physicians en-
couraged the canning of strained
fruits and vegetables for infants
and young children.

>urces of Vitamin G

Vitamin c, which is essential for
maintaining the health of teeth
and gums and for preventing the
degeneration of muscle fibers
generally, is obtained almost en-
tirely from fruits and vegetables.
The principal sources of this vita
min are the citrus fruits; raw and
canned tomatoes and canned. to-
mato juice; strawberries; raw
carrots, onions and yellow tur-
nips.
AS this vitamin is easily de-
stroyed by heat in the presence
of oxygen, the amount present
in any fruit or vegetable is great
ly reduced by the average home
cooking methods. On the other
hand, this and other vitamins, as
well as minerals, are usually well
retained in commercially canned
fruits and vegetables.

faIlacies Disproved
Canned foods will keep indef-

Canned foods will keep indefi-
nitely without spOilage, as long as
nothing occurs to make the can
leak. 1t is not necessary to re-
move canned food from the con-
tainer as soon as the tin is opened,
though many homemakers often
do so because the food presents a
more attractive appearance in a
dish or bowl. A kissing sound
when opening does not mean that
the contents of a can are spoiled,
but rather that there was a vac
uum in the can, which the air is
rushing in to fill.
Thus canned fruits and vegeta-
bleS are not only "aS good as"
fresh ones, but are often superior
in food values. Every hOmemaker
should see to it that she uses both
literally in the diet of every mem
Del of her family, as means OF
providing liberal amounts of min
erals and vitaminS.

Placidol Mapa. president OF the
sugar association, said:
Even granting some sort OF trade
arrangement as presently contem-
plated is entered into between the
United States and the Philippines,
while it might lengthen the life OF
our sugar industry, just the same
complete liquidation of the industry
sooner or later is inevitable"
The spokesman for the cigar and
coconut oil industries said the COM

sure the two industries another five
years of life before facing "destruc-

The joint Filipino American Com
mittee report. made public yesterday,
recommended final independence
July 4. 1916. as provided in the In
dependence Act of 1884. with mu-
tually beneficial economic arrange
ments continued until 1860. The
two countries would grant each other
tariff concessions until January l.,
1861, when all tariff preferences
would be eliminated. The Filipinos
have contended such step is neces-
sary to prepare Philippine industry
for loss of free entry into American
markets.
Quintin Paredes, newly elected

ippine commissioner to the United
States and a member of the joint
committee. said that when the rec
concentrations reached Congress

diate independence, since it was felt
those questions would be the sub
iect of debate.
