Housewives Must Know Facts
 About Food They Use

flc knowledge If Americans are to become 100 per cent efficient in hv- ing.
 TWO vitally important items in healthful living are the domestic refrigerator and the daily supply and use of milk.
 REFRIGERATOR ADVICE
 Before you buy refrigerator, study the following expert advice from the Bureau of Home Eco- monies:
 Check the size, as well as the price, when you buy refrigerator Don't guess. If the information isn't on the label, insist on 1t from the salesman. Experts say a 5. cubic-foot refrigerator is minimum size fo rtwo people, and family of four will need 6-cubic-foot re- frigerator. Add cubic foot fot every additional two members ii1 the family.
 If you live within a stones throw of the grocery store, this space may be sufficient. People 20 miles out on country road will need slightly larger box. Urban families who entertain @ lot and farm fafni- lies who use their family refrigera- tor to keep their dairy products cool until market time will need more space than the amount which the Bureau of Home Economies rec- ommends for average families.
 Check the amount of shelf space too. Refrigerators of the same cubic footage do not always have the same number of square feet of shelf space. When buying a re- frigerator you should see whether there is enough distance between ! the shelves for the containers you use, and enough room on the milk shelf for milk and tall beverage bottles.
 FACT AND FALLACY
 Between the fallacies and facts concerning milk, there is a danger ous span. Let's banish supersti- ton and welcome these facts given by the Consumers Guide, Q publica- ton of the Consumers Counsel Di- vision:
 Fallacy: Milk products should not be eaten In combination with fish or meat. Fact: Actually dieti- tians say that any foods which can be eaten separately can be eaten in combination with equal safety.
 Fallacy: Skim milk is worthless Fact: Skim milk contains the im- portant milk minerals, milk sugar milk proteins and Vitamin c (riboflavln). For these nutrients Il is just as valuable food as whole milk.
 Failacy: Milk Is a perfect food Fact: There is no one food now known which contains all the nu. trients necessary for health. Milk for example, is a poor source oi iron, and while 1t contains vita mins A, B, D and c (riboflavim, 1, is a poor source of ascorbic acit (vitamin O. It is an excellent food, nutritionists say, highly de- sirable in the diet, but 1t is not 6 patent medicine, panacea.

M GASnsn VI G 0CAACo The herb garden dates back to the fourth century, but 1t was not until the sixteenth, when the print ing press came into being, that a knowledge of herbs became general. We have one William Turner, an Englishman, to thank for the de- sire to include herbs in the garden. Studying plants and their habits, he made field trips through Europe and upon his return, published-not in Latin, as were all books at that time, but in English-the first au- thentic treatise on herbs. Turner is known as the Father of Botany in England.
 In earlier times each monastery had its physic garden from which were dispensed a variety of herbs to alleviate the suffering of the people. Tn those days enjoyment of plants for their beauty alone was secondary to their more practical uses, The garden of the Middle Ages was usually laid out on simple, formal lines with narrow paths and trim edges.
 The early colonists brought with them many herbs and the knowl- edge of how to use them. Tn no time these old familiar plants flourished in little New England 60or-yard gardens.
 During the last century interest rn herbs declined and the herb gar den became hn almost forgotten thing of the past. Recently. how erer. interest has revived and many gardeners again enjoy the quaint &harm of the herb garden.
 
 Hsrbs are usually divided into several overlapping groups. The aromatic herbs are grown for fra-

Aluminium UtensiI
Industry al Work
Conferences to Study
Plants Use to Make
Defense Materials

Emergency action to prevent a
wholesale shutdown of the aluminium
utensil industry is being considered
by the Offlce of Production Manage
ment, it was reported today.
Representative Thorn, Democrat,
of Ohio said defense officials have
told him that regional conferences
are to be held in Cleveland, Chicago
and Philadelphia to study possible
use of aluminium utensil plants for
making powder cans, gasoline cans
and wing tips for airplanes.
Robert L. Mehornay of the De-
fense Contract Service said in Cleve-
land yesterday that utensil makers
would be unable to obtain more
aluminium after their present supply
was exhausted.
1t was indicated that many other
household articles made Of alu-
minum also would be affected if the
o. P. M. apportions available alu-
minum among non-defense indus
tries. officials declined to speculate
just what percentage of their needs
might go to each industry if such
action is taken.
Aluminium was placed under a
mandatory priority system last
month and producers are required
to submit their books to the o. P. NJ.
monthly for ALLEGATION orders. So
far the o. P. M. has given priority
to defense industries and permitted
others to divide up the remaining
supplies as the producers saw fit.
The imminence of a shortage for
civilian purposes was seen in es-
Inmates from other sources of alu-
minum production this month. These
sources predicted it would approxi-
mate 100000 pounds and that de-
fense needs would about equal that
figure. Civilian needs have been
estimated at 100000 to 35,000,00C
pounds and to meet them there will
be available some 100000 pounds

apply pressure either to Britain or
France to conform to any American
viewpoint.
Two Points Involved.
President Roosevelt told his press
conference Friday that two major
points were involved in the general
question of shipping food to hungry
European countries. These, he said
were:
l. A clear establishment of the
facts concerning the actual need OF
food in any specified area.
2. Guarantees that food shipped
to any unoccupied area (such as
unoccupied France would not be
transported into any other area
