 Q. Why do green vegetables lose so much color when cooked? Why are we advised against the use of soda to restore that color?
 A. The pigments of vegetables, which give them their various colors, are in many cases soluble in water and change when heated. The green coloring matter, called cholrophyn, is only slightly soluble in water, but 1t is easily destroyed by high tenn peratures and long cooking, parti- cularly in the presence of acid found in most vegetables. The addition of soda to preserve the green color by neutralizng the acid, and also to hasten the softening of the cellulose, Is not recommended because it re- duces the vitamin content and de- tracts from the flavor of the cooked vegetable. Both the green color and the vitamins may be conServer by cooking the vegetable in salted water for the shortest possible time in an open kettle. Some of the acids vol- atilize and are given off nj steam; therefore the color change is less.
 c. We have a large family and a very moderate income. As food prices are advancing rapidly and some kinds of foods get scarcer, it is im- portant that plan the family meals carefully. Do you have booklet that will help?
 A The booklet Tow Cost Wartime Meals" available from Democrat, Service Bureau, 1913 Thirteenth St., Washington, D. O., will be very help full. It contains menus and helpful suggestions for planning meals. Re- ceipes are included. The cost IS ID cents in stamps or coin.

HYDROPHOBIA-PHOBIA

hXDKURHUbAA-
 In the course of the past twenty years or so there has been steady decline in the vehemence with which the politicians connected with health departments have in sisted on the occurrence of rabies in man. am sure that outbreaks of rabies Gin the imagination of the public) have diminished in fre- ouency and in severity. And the mortality rate in all of these out- breaks has remained remarkably low. To be sure there was report of a death from rabies in some health statistics published by a metropolitan health department in 1941-but you can't demand exhu- nation and post-mortem investi. gation of statistic.
 From the middle west . man aged sixty-one. occupation canvas ser, writes that he was bitten on the ankle by a customers dog as he called at the customers home. three months ago. Owners told him the dog was cross, but not rabid. A week after the incident the man be- gan to suffer what he considered to be symptoms of rabies, kind of nervous chill and an excited state. He continued at his regular work for three weeks but gradually be- came extremely nervous" and felt a marked weakness and was unable to keep quiet and Sedate" as he ,,sed to be, His limbs felt weak and trembly, and there was distress ing sinking or huttering sensation in the stomach or abdomen, and so on. which the man interpreted as being a kind of slow hydrophoDla' less severe than the usual kind. He says he has asked two or three doctors about 1t and they tell him it is not hydrophobia, for that would have developed within a few days or a few weeks at most. They express the opinion that ms Ill health may be due to several in- fected teeth ...
 To be perfectly fair. before ! comment on the mans letter should explain that in my opinion (mind, it is only my opinion. and don't KNOW) rabies does not occur in man. Further, the opinion given the man by the doctors he con. suited conforms with the general medical view of the question-that is. if any serious infection occurs with or from a scratch or bite by a bird or animal the illness develops within a few days or a few weeks at most.
 This man gives a good description of hydrophobia- phobia-that is, the of health or the illness due to anxiety, fear, worry, spe- cifically his morbid, unreasonlng dread of "hydrophobia" as many laymen and, sad to say' some call rabies

McKENNEY ON BRIDGE
By WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

The word amateur, in connec- tion with bridge, is really a mis- homer. All bridge players are anna teurS. However, the American Con- tract Bridge League has a rating system by which Master Points are awarded to the winners and run ners-up of various tournaments. A player having ten Master Points or more is called a Master and is not eligible to participate in the anna teur events.
