Watch Your Scales
Weighing needs watching from both
sides of the counter if honest dealers
are to be protected and consumers are
to get full measure, says the CON-
SUMERS' GUIDE, publication of the
Consumers Counsel Division, AAA.
Here are things for consumers to
watch when thcir purchases are weigh
ed:
1. Make sure that the scale regis
ters exactly zero before the food is
weighed.
2. See that the pointer comes to a
complete stop on the scales and does
not waver back and forth, before the
food is removed from the scales.
8. Don't let any hands rest on the
scales that is measuring your food.
4. If the food you are buying is
wrapped in cardboard box or other
type of container, be sure that the
weight of the container is not included
in what you pay for.
5. Finally, learn if there is weights
and measures Inspector in your COM
munity. If there is, ask your grocery
man to show you the official seal on
his scales which certifies it is accur-
ate.
When You Park Your Meat
Don't let your refrigerator get over
AZ degrees Fahrenheit if you want to
keep meat-cooked or uncooked-free
from spoilage, advises the CON-
SUMERS' GUIDE, publication of the
Consumers Counsel Division of the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton.
"Poor refrigeration accounts for
most spoilage Of meat. Not only is
the spoilage expensive; it is ready
source of food poisoning and in some
instances can result in acute injury to
health," the publication says.
Remove the wrapper promptly from
fresh meat when you bring it home
and place it on clean platter or in
a pan. If covered at all, lay a piece
of clean waxed or oiled paper over it
loosely.
Cooked meat should not be kept un-
used in the refrigerator for any
length of time. Ground cooked meats
are easy victims of contamination,
and should be used as soon as they are
ground.
Cover cooked meat loosely with oil
ed paper to prevent it's drying out.
Buying Hints For Prune Eaters
Prune eaters get more prune pulp
per pound if they choose large rather
than small prunes, but, says the CON-
SUMERS' GUIDE, publication of the
Consumers Counsel Division of the
AAA, they should compare prices be-
fore they decide to buy.
If there is great difference in the
price of the two sizes, you may be
able to get more prune pulp and less
pit for each penny outlay for small
prunes than you will for the large
sized ones.
Thus, if very large prunes are sell
ing at 35 cents pound, they are three
times as expensive in the actual cost
Of prune pulp as small prunes at 10
cents a pound. There is no difference
in the taste of the two sizes.
Remember, however, that you get
more seeds in proportion to pulp in
small prunes than you do in the large
ones.
If you want to eat prunes raw, ask
for those labeled moisture added.
The dry fruit will be a better invest
ment if you plan to soak and cook the
pruneS.
