"Marne, too" answered the other
with her shrewd smile. But, gee!

Left alone in the house with Kel-
sey, Marne completed her packing.
Then what to do? She was wearied
and nervous from the devilish in
sisteSce of the rain. And for once
in her poised and self-confdent life
she felt awkward. Her resentment
against the quondam Templeton
Sayles, partly a hold-over. had be-
come an instructive defense against
"a subtly invading sense of having
been stupidity in the wrong.

He proved it to the extent Of three
dollars and ten cents. Marne put
aside the cards.
This drippy grayness has got on
my nerves. Isn't it about time for
lunch?"

Chunk served the meal, washed
up, made some uninterpretable
sounds, and sloshed forth into the
weather upon some unexplained en-

The pair, thus left to their own

If you are prepared to make
many neatly fitted openings al
most any type of chair may be
slipcovered. Either bindings or
facings may be used to finish
edges where seat and back covers
are cut around arms and supports.
Where there are so many open
ings of different lengths, snap fas-
teners are generally more satisfac-
tory than zippers. If snap fasten-
er tape is obtainable it saves time
to whip it to the long edges. The
narrow frill for this chair covers
curved line across the front and
carving at the top of the front

You can make slipcovers, all
types of curtains and many other

the ravageS of micro-organisms
which are always ready to attack
foods when conditions are favora-
BILE for their growth.
Two essentials are necessary for
satisfactory food preservation in
the home. First, perishable foods
must be stored at a temperature
of from 40 to As degrees Fahren-
heit-never at a temperature high
er than so degrees. Second, the
right degree of humidity must be
maintained. Too much moisture
will encourage the growth of bac-
terra; too little will dehydrate
fruits and vegetables and make
them unfit for consumption.
Home Care of Foods
Both requirements are met by
good household refrigerator;
and the homemaker who appreci-
ates the Importance of keeping
foods sound and wholesome will
regard an efficient refrigerator as
an investment in good health. 1t
is especially necessary that the
food supply be properly refrigerat-
ed during the warmer weather of
spring and summer, in order to
prevent the consumption of dishes
that may have become contami-
mated without any marked altera-
tion in appearance, taste or odor.
Highly Perishable Foods
Milk is often regarded as the
most perishable of all foods, be-
cause it is an ideal medium for
the growth of bacteria. 1t is, there
fore, essential that this splendid
food be kept at low temperatures
at all times. 1t should be put into
The Coolidge examiner., 1939-05-18

the refrigerator as soon as posi-
BILE after it is delivered, and kept
there until the moment it is to be
used. Milk should never be al
lowed to stand at room tempera-
ture for any length of time. For
it has been demonstrated that
when it is held at 40 degrees-an
ideal temperature-before deliv-
cry, then allowed to stand at
room temperature of rs degrees
for an hour and half, and again
refrigerated, rapid increase in
bacteria occurs.
Other types of protein foods also
present a favorable medium for
bacterial growth when they are
held at temperatures higher than
so degrees. These include meat,
fish, meat broths, gelatin, custards
and creamed foods. 1t is adviSa-
BILE to keep these foods, as well as
the milk supply, in the coolest
part of the refrigerator.
Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables soon lose
their moisture content unless they
are protected against warm, dry
air; and they are likewise subject
to the action of micro-organiSmS
which result in decay. But when
stored in a modern refrigerator,
these mineral and vitamin-rich
foods can be kept in perfect condi-
ton for considerable periods, thus
making it possible to take advan-
tage of favorable market offer
ingS.
Guarding Against Mold
AS a rule, warmer weather also
increases the problem of combat
ing Inolds. For given moisture
and warmth, molds will, grow on
almost anything. However, the
most hospitable hosts are acid
fruits, such as oranges, lemons,
berries or tomatoes; sweets, such
as jams and jellies; bread and
meat. While molds are physiO-
logically harmless if eaten, they
definitely spoil the taste and ap-
pearance of food.
Mold growths can be killed by
boiling. They are retarded by the
dry circulating air of an efficient
refrigerator. It is to allow for
air circulation that berries should
be stored uncovered-if possible,
spread out so that the air can
reach more than just the top
layer.
Frequent inspection of all food
supplies, including those in the
bread box, and the prompt elimi-
nation of any items showing signs
of mold, will help to keep it from
spreading.
Constant vigilance on the part of
the hOmemaker in caring for foods
on hand will avoid needless
drain on the food budget and will
safeguard the health of every
member of the family. e

Gaspe an Old Section

Gaspe is reputed to be the oldest
known part of North America and
historians say 1t had been visited
by adventurous white men from Ice
land and Greenland as early as the
Twelfth century. Many parts of the
coast are noted for their rugged
grandeur and one of the scenic
marvels is the giant rock at Perce,
where the herring gull and the cor
morant breed and have bred for
hundreds of years.

Isn't This Why
You Are Constipated?

What do you eat for breakfast?
Coffee, toast, maybe some eggs?
What do you eat for lunch and
dinner? White bread, meat, pota-
toes? It's little aUonder you're con-
Stipated. You probably don't eat
enough "bulk." And "bulk"
doesn't mean the amount you
eat. It's a kind of food that forms
a soft bulky" mass in the intes-
tines and helps a movement. If
this is your trouble, may we sug-
gest a crunchy toasted cereal
Kellogg'S All -Brdn-for breakfast.
All-Bran is a natural food, not a
medicine - but it's particularly
rich in bulk" Being so, it can
help you not only to get regular
but to keep regular. You won't
have to endure constipation, you
can dUoid it. Eat All-Bran daily,
drink plenty of water, and life
will be brighter for you! Made by
Kellogg's in Battle Creek.

pleaded desperately, "TIl try to

of what I've heard"
"Why should II" she taunted. "Or
why should I care what you be-
lieve or don't believe? l won't tell
you a thing"
This time, he did go out. Re-
gardless of the storm, which was
lashing in furiously again from the
northwest, he made his way to the
bridge, and trudged across without
even noticing the current, which
was flooding across the floor of the
wavery structure.
One thought monopolized his ach-
ing brain: he must have that un-
answered question, which had still
left him with an illogical but per-
sistent doubt, satisfied. He kept see
ing Marne's face, and in that face
something-no innocence; anyone
could fake innocence; but pride
which he could not reconcile with
her being Snydacker's mistress.
'I don't believe it. 1 don't be.
lieve it," he kept muttering as he
plowed through the torrent of rtlr
