Shortages may come and short- ages may go, but frankfurts are usually On our meat counters.
 Thus, it's wise to use these handy packages of good eating from time to time in summer meals. Carefully prepared from first-class meat, franks offer the same B vitamins, minerals and high-quality proteins that meats do.
 Franks are good served hot in their sleek, tender jackets in one- platter meal with vegetables. Or they can be extended" in complete meal salads and baked dishes. A few slices enchance hot soup or meat loaf.
 For quick summer meal that Hooks big, serve frank plank. On a plank or oven-proof platter broil hot, mashed potatoes with franks and bacon atop so the meat juices run tastily down on the potatoes. Sliced tomatoes and sweet onions, and homemade corn relish complete the meal.
 Here is the recipe:
 Franks Family Style
 6 medium sized potatoes
 tablespoons fat
 1-3 to 1a cup hot milk
 Salt and pepper
 pound frankfurts
 strips bacon
 Peel potatoes, cook, and mash with fat, hot milk, salt and pepper. Pile on a plank or oven-proof platter. Arrange frankfurts on potatoes, and bacon strips atop franks. Broil until bacon is crisp and franks and pota- toes are thoroughly heated. Serves to 6.

Table Talk

The shortage of butter in many local markets, in addition to its rise in point value, prompts the State Nutrition Committee to comment on the need for checking the vitamin A content of the daily diet. Since butter is one of the excellent sources of vitamin A, little figur- ing of food values is necessary to replace the amount of this particu- lar vitamin is lost.
 Fortunately, vitamin A flourishes in the garden these days. Greens, such as beet. swiss chard, spinach, kale, mustard and turnip; as well as Chinese cabbage, broccoli, carrots, tomato. corn and green pepper, are excellent vegetable sources of vita min A. Because so many of these are at the peak of production, now is the time to store some extra vita min A in our bodies as well as in jars of canned food for winter use.
 The State Committee explains
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-08-12

that although the proper methods of cooking vegetables have been well publicized, generally speaking there are still too many improper cook ing procedures used. Each vegetable has its characteristic texture and flavor which needs to be preserved. Some greens, like spinach and chard, require no water to be cook ed, while other greens, such aS mustard and turnip, need large quantities of water. Whether or not there is much water used, cook only until the vegetable is done. Over- cooking ruins the texture and flavor as well as the Vitamins and miner- als.
 Cooked fresh vegetables served with plenty of melted butter are universal favorites. But in wartime we need to know some ways to con- serve that precious food-butters Margarine, fortified with vitamin A may be the answer for some people, for use at least in cooking. Livers whether calves lamb, beef or pork is another excellent animal source of vitamin A. Whole milk, cheese ice cream, eggs, are also animal sources of this vitamin.
 There is little doubt that tho flavor of butter is preferred td other fats, and the return in abunda ance of this commodity will be weI., come.

deal of serious illness may be, and is, spread. The importance of milk in everybody's diet is being stressed by all studies and prac- tices in nutrition. Milk contains a large variety of the essential nu- triments, and considering it's cost per pound, gives more food for the money than any other known food material. It is indispensable for the growing child. For the same reasons, 1t is an almost ideal host to countless germs-and is a per- feet culture medium for them.
 REHABILITATION PROCESS
 Over a long period of time, the process of preserving and purifying milk called pasteurization, after the

WARTIME HEALTH COLUMN Raw Milk May Cause Typhoid, Undulant Fever, Tuberculosis

great French scientist Louis Pas teur, has become the accepted prac- tice, recommended by both the medical profession and public health authorities. It consists of holding the milk at not less than 143 degrees F. for 30 minutes, and cooling 1t at once to 50 degrees F or lower.
 Today all large cities in Amer ica require that milk be pasteur- ized before 1t is delivered to con- sumers. and the percentage of smaller cities requiring pasteuri- Zation is growing rapidly. The Army has precluded the use of raw milk in foreign stations where pasteurization is not avail able.
 The war, however, has intro. duced problems of distribution and commercial practices at home that smack of the Black Market Furthermore, the practice of of. handedly drinking raw milk may bring serious consequences to the entire war-preoccupied popula- tion.
 DANGER OF RAW MILK
 Pasteurization, in accordance with public health requirements, 1! a kind of insurance against tuber. culosis and undulant fever. Tyhoit fever, paratyphoid, scarlet fever, ant septic sore throat are also milk. borne diseases. Even the most care full and meticulous handling ant control of raw milk is not safe.

 1-3 cup flour
 3 cups cooked tomatoes

 3 tablespoons catsup
 Salt and pepper
 Split frankfurts and arrange, split side down, in greased casserole. Saute onion in fat until slightly Drowned, stir in flour; gradually stir in tomatoes and cook until thickened. Add carrots and catsup and season to taste with salt and pepper; pour over frankfurts and bake in moderate oven (350 degree F0 about # hour. Serves 6.
 Eat While You Can"
 To keep your pep high on canning days, be sure to plan good and satisfying noon whether you can with group or alone. Q One time-saving trick is to dupli- cate menus for two days running. Two meals good for double duty are: CD Lamb- frankfurt meat loaf, potato salad, buttered beets, and frozen fruit salad, and CD Corned beef, new potatoes, buttered green beans, cabbage salad, and fruit pie.
 Since the oven is seldom used for canning, an oven meal is handy. For this. prepare the dishes and refrigerate until time for the oven. A good oven meal Is: lamb patties, scalloped potatoes, and bake dto- matoes, to be accompanied by tossed green salad and fresh fruit. Or you could bake meat and veg etable pie and cherry cobbler, and serve with perfection salad. Ready to-serve meats and frankfurts fit into such busy times, too, as do bar becued spareribs re-heated. Let your refrigerator work for you, too, in preparing loaves, salads, and desserts.

f get ready to go home."
 She was still burning with the humiliation of her failure when she went into the dressing room, and 1t didn't help when the other girls, with very natural curios- ity, wanted to know what had gone wrong. She had to explain the mishap over and over again.
 But 1t serves me right" she thought truthfully. T thought I was so superior to Sue Keller, and maybe in some ways she's smarter than l am."
 It wasn't comforting revela- ton, and she was still thinking about 1t when Ken Carter took her home. She told him about it, ending, T guess I've been a sort of snob, and didn't know it." He looked sidewise at her. "Ill tell you what you need, chance to forget all about it. There's a ball game tonight, how about go- ing with me?"
 Barbee enjoyed the game im- mensely. Ken was an avid fan and his yells and hooted advice to the players were as entertaining to Bar bee as the game itself. She hadnt t laughed so much for ages-at least not since Ned had gone away.
 The second game turned into a draggy one-sided contest and they left in the middle of it. Ken sug- gested some steak sandwiches at a popular drive-in stand. The sandwiches were excellent, and Barbee was hungry after her hur- ried supper She ate ravenously
 Ken lit a cigaret and offered her one after the waitress had taken their door-tray away. When she refused. he threw his away
 impatietly, and slid closer to her on the leather seat of the old convertible, putting his arm fa- mlliarly across her shoulders Suddenly he drew her to him anc kissed her.
 Barbee drew away from his em. brace furiously. Why - why - what do you think you're doingP' She wanted to slap his face. Bui that was cheap. No need to make a fuss. She started to open tn, car door at her side.
 He reached around her and GOV cred her hand gently and vel firmly with his free one. Don run away, I suppose I shouldn have done 1t but you looked SO, well-kissable,
 His action in detaining her has brought his face close to herr again, His blue eyes were dane ing into her dark ones,

CHAPTER 7-THURSDAY- THE KISS
 CHAPTER VII

Barbee was initiated into full res- possibility at the laboratory sooner than the chief chemist had plan ned. Far sooner than she herself had anticipated. It happened simply enough. Sue Keller didn't show up at work Friday.
 David Kent came back to Bar bee with a worried look on his face. "Sue just phoned. Says she's sick with a cold. bet that cold is hangover"
 He saw Barbee's startled face. "Yes, she drinks. Sues no para gon of virtue" He went on quickly, Think you can run the test alone today?"
 Oh" Barbee hesitated nerv- ously. i've only been here three days. I'm afraid"
 Kent explained patiently. There's no one else on this shift who knows how to run this test, and there hap pens to be a lot of samples to be gone over. Tell you what-you go ahead, and I'll come back and check on things every once in while. If anything goes wrong let me know at once"
 Tensely Barbee went to work. If she were careful, very careful to remember everything Susan had showed her perhaps she'd get along all right.
 She got the two runs off without mishap and her confidence grew Dave Rents praise helped, too. He said 1t usually took a girl a week to master the test. She was running it alone after only two days instruction.
 It was when she hopped up on low stool to take the reading from a thermometer at the tor of the machine that she first mo- ticed the odor. She stood on tir toe and leaned forward to see the markings on the thermometer. and as she inhaled the strange fumes sent her reeling backward. Sht stumbled awkwardly but managed to keep herself from falling by catching at the table. At the same moment someone shouted. Gas - the chlorogene machine"
 Dave Kent came running, Ht pushed her unceremoniously out ol the way and gave the machine { nasty inspection, Almost immediate ly his practiced eye located thu trouble, In her haste Barbee hat turned a stop cock the wrong way and the poison gas was pouring ou into the laboratory instead Of pass ing through a test tube as It shoult have, He reached up and turned ths offending stop cock the other way,
 There's your trouble,' he ex' plained, Remember always turT them eloekwise-the same way al the hands of a clock, aee?"
 Barbee wiped the tears caused by the gas rom her eyes and ffesi tears of modification filled them Susan had warned her about turn Ing the stop cocks 10 the right T know" she said, "It was stupid ol me to fofRet guess i'll never learn,n
