Questions Answered

Mrs. S. T.-When thoroughly
chewed and given a proper place
in the diet, cheese is usually well
digested. Experiments performed
by the United States Department
of Agriculture demonstrated that
an average of 95 per cent of the
protein and over 95 per cent of the
fat of cheese were digested and
absorbed.
MIR. b. M. G.-Yes, cooking veg
etables leads to a reduction of
their energy values, as well as
mineral salts. In general, there
is a reduction of from one-third
to one-half of the carbohydrate
after cooking in water. Frequent
relocating cannot be recommended
as thrice-boiled vegetables contain
little available carbohydrate, and
the greater part of their minerals
and flavor is also lost.

he was misused at home and had
to look elsewhere for recreation.
What many parents forget, say the
specialists, is that the physical fact
of fatherhood or motherhood does
not endow a man or woman with SUI
pernatural qualities. The art of par
enthood has to be learned the same
as anything else.
Listen to DR.. Paul Popenoe, noted
counselor on family relations who
feels proper parental treatment will
dissuade potential child criminals:
"The first thing for a parent to
do is to keep the emotions Of anger
and severity on cold storage. A
surgeon can't give away his emo
tons when he has a serious opera
ton to perform, and parent can't
60 blind with feeling when he has a
problem to deal with in relation to
his children.
Parents need patience in deal
ing with their youngsters. They
can't treat their children as some
thing to be kicked about or locked
up in the closet. They are human
beings. When they misbehave, their
action must be considered as a
symptom, the same as fever or an
ache, and not cause. If parents
go into causes, they very likely will
find themselves to blame"
Will Delinquency Decrease?
The problem of juvenile delin-
quency is especially pertinent right
now because soon thousands of
school children will be released for
the annual vacation, many of them
left to their own ingenuity to find
summer recreation. But each year
this problem becomes less pressing,
because more communities are in
shutting comprehensive playground
programs for children of all ages.
Designed to keep youngsters busy
all day, these activities encourage
healthy bodies, clear heads and-at
night-drowsy eyes that welcome
sleep.
Today's teen age generation is a
problem because public responsible
ity for juvenile delinquency was not
recognized until a few years ago.
Who can tell but that tomorrow's
youngsters, aided by the healthy
recreation their communities now
sponsor, will foresake crime for a
nobler life?
It's possible, so long as we re-
member the trouble isn't juvenile
delinquency, but public delin-
quency!

The Parents Responsibility.
So much for the pubIc's part. But
how about the parents from whom
every child must get his fundamen-
tai background? Psychiatrists point
out that many a youngster has been

An efficient refrigerator also

of meats, fruits and vegetables,
so that you enjoy these foods at
their best. But its greatest contri-

nourishment and their strength is

Homemaker's Responsibility
For Food Sanitation
An enormous amount of time
and money is expended to put
foodstuffs in your kitchen in a
fresh, palatable and safe form.
Laws govern the manufacture,
transportation and merchandising
of every food product and an elab-
crate system is maintained for the
inspection of meat. But all this
care can be undone if food is not
adequately refrigerated in the
home.
From the moment that meats,
fruits, vegetables and groceries
reach your kitchen, the response
bility is yours, and you will be
guilty if your husband and chill

tainted food.
Causes Of Food Spoilaee
Spoilage in food is due to the
ravages of a vast army of micro
organisms which cause it to sour,
decay or putrefy, depending upon
the nature of the food.
There are three classes of
micro-organisms which develop in
food-bacteria, molds and yeasts.
All three are notable for their mi
mute size, rapid growth and wide
distribution. Yeasts and bacteria
can only be seen with the aid of
a microscope.
Not all micro-organisms are the
enemies of man; some are useful
in the preparation of foods such
as cheese, sauerkraut and bread.
These need not concern the home
maker. But the harmful bacteria
will flourish wherever conditions
are favorable to their growth.
There are two important factors
governing food preservation. One
is the maintenance of a constant
temperature of from 40 to so de-
grees Fahrenheit-under no cir
cumstances should food be stored
at a temperature higher than SO
degrees, or bacteria will multiply
SO rapidly as to make it unsafe
to eat. The other is to maintain
the proper degree of moisture in
the air-neither too much, which

thrill thieves" boys and girls
who steal automobiles for
break-neck midnight rides in a
mad, needless and puzzling
search for thrills. The cars are
not stolen to sell but are usual
ly found abandoned or wrecked
when the Joy riders have fin
ished with them. What causes
this peculiar mental "kink" in
modern adolescents?
But the most fascinating
and probably, fundamental
phase of juvenile delinquency
is the boy gang" a group of
neighborhood youngsters who
join forces for well-meant compan-
ianship and often end up behind
prison bars. More than one child
psychiatrist, seeking the basic
cause of child crime, has placed his
finger on the old wooden shack
which sits unnoticed on a vacant
lot, ''hangout" for boys who have
no other source of recreation.
Kept Diary of Loot.
One psychiatrist, living in an east
ern city, purposely frequented an
area where gangs iourished. His
story makes interesting reading:
First of all, I had to gain the
boys confidence by taking part in
their everyday activities. After that
it was merely matter of observa-
ton.
''There were two smart boys in
this particular gang who obtained
their start from stealing. They went
into store and while Joe attracted
the managers attention, Tom lift
ed a green record book This was
their diary, after fashion, in which
was kept complete record of the
gangs criminal activities.
GA few months later I succeeded
in getting possession of that diary
by telling Tom about a survey I
intended to make. An interview
was dIIdlSeu dL q OOWutOWH no

feel his Importance by the gift of
a cigar. He handed over the diary.
I can tell you, it was rich with
criminal escapadesl"
That's juvenile delinquency.
But in the mind of j. Edgar Hoo
yer, director of the federal bureau
of investigation, there's another an
swer. Hoover, who may some day
have to cope with adult criminals
who are today child criminals, calls
it public delinquency!
His analysis is not without logic.

Appearance of Food
May Be Deceptive
The great danger of food that is
improperly stored is that it may
become spoiled without advertis-
ing that fact. Appearance is sell
dom a reliable guide and unless
your refrigerator is efficient, food
may become unfit for consump-
ton before spoilage can be noted
by sight, taste or smell.
All types of protein foods harbor
bacteria which multiply rapidly at
temperatures higher than so de-
grees. Under favorable conditions
of moisture and temperature, bac-
terra double their number every 20
to 80 minutes, and a single bacte-
rum can produce a million bac-
terra in IS hours.
Safeguard Children's Milk
Milk is the most perishable of
all foods, because it is an ideal
medium for bacterial growth. If
this master food is to be kept safe
for children, it must be stored at
a temperature not higher than As
degrees.
Careful studies show that there
is very little increase in bacteria
when milk is held for as long as
48 hours at a temperature of 40
degrees. But when the tempera-
ture was allowed to rise to so
degrees, almost 80 times as many
bacteria developed, and at go de-
grees, the bacteria multiplied
more than 5000 times in the same
period.
Foods That Spoil Easily
The rapid multiplication of bac-
terra also occurs in other foods
having a high protein content, in
Guiding meat, meat broths, fish,
gelatin, custards, creamed foods,
peas and beans. 1t is important
that all these foods, as well as
milk, be kept in the coolest part
| of the refrigerator, as a few de-
grees in temperature make a
great deal of difference in pre-
venting spoilage.
Once food has begun to deteri-
crate, it must be discarded or it
may endanger health. Cooking
will not make spoiled foods fit for
consumption.
How to Prevent Mold
Molds are another form of spoil
age that the homemaker must
constantly battle. Mold will grow
on almost any substance, but is
particularly likely to occur on acid
foods, as lemons, oranges, toma-
toes and berries; on neutral foods,
such as bread and meat; on
sweets, notably jellies and pre-
serves, and on salty foods, includ-
ing ham or bacon.
Mods may develop quickly or
slowly, depending upon the tenn
perature and degree of moisture.
They thrive under the influence of
warmth and moisture and may re-
main invisible to the naked eye
for as long as SO hours. All molds
are white at first, but as they ma
ture they change color, becoming
blue, red, or assuming various
shades of brown.
To the bacterio1ogist, these col
ors have different meanings. To
the homemaker, they all tell the
same story-that through i'm
proper storage food has lost its
appetite appeal and palatability.
Mold growths may be destroyed
by boiling temperatures. They
may be retarded by keeping food
in the cold, dry circulating air
provided by an efficient refrigera-
tor.
A good refrigerator is the best
investment a family can make. It
enables you to take advantage of
bargain prices to buy food in guam
tity. And it safeguards health by
