Why did Brown hurry out of

Sheriff Morrow took the

II just had a talk with your

your house last night when you
were there. She said you left
suddenly because you wanted TO

couldn't have met that train be-
cause you were caught speeding
on the Military road at 1855.

Babies Must
Have Germ
Free Milk
Bv Leffice Lee Street,

"Why should I bother to boil the
milk for my baby? 1t is pasteur-
lied by a good dairy before it is
delivered to me-"
Does boiling milk make it more
digestible for an infant?"
How old may milk be and still
be safe for baby?"
If you have an infant, you should
be able to rattle off the answers to
these questions in Jig time.
Upon your respect for the knoWl-
edge about the proper care of milk,
discovered only in recent years, and
your consequent obedience to the
rules of sterilization, your infants S
life may depend.
Before giving you the answers
to the quiz above, listen carefully
to the truth that cows milk, so
needed by your baby after you Wean
him, is one of our most perishable
foods. If allowed to remain at a
warm temperature 1t becomes an
ideal cultural medium for germs.
You know that tuberculosis is a
common disease among cows, and
milk from a tubercular COW can
transmit this infection to humans.
tuberculosis is particularly serious
when it attacks babies.
Other diseases also may be
passed on, via milk, to human beings
and therefore, milk must be
boiled before it is taken by an in
fant to be sure that it is absolutely
germ free.
To answer the first question above
the reason that pasteurized milk
must be boiled before it is given to
an infant is tnat boiling assures the
death of germs that may have
entered the milk during the proc
ess of removing it from the bottle,
etc. Boiled milk Is also more di-
gestible. Let me repeat, even pas
teurized milk must be boiled before
it is given to an infant.
There is an old-fashioned notion
that if baby is given boiled milk
he will suffer with severe constipa-
ton. This is not true If an infant
should become constipated it may or
may not be due to the boiled milk,
but in any case, the occasional con-
stipation is of small Importance in
comparison to the grave, and even
fatal, results that may follow if a
baby is given raw. unboiled milk.
Boiling milk renders it more diges-
tible for infants AS shown above,
it also makes it safe. When an
infant drinks boiled milk, curds are
formed in his stomach that are small
and soft, not unlike those formed
from mothers milk. Thus, you see,
the boiling of milk avoids digestive
upsets and an infant takes much
more kindly to his artificial feeding
if it is made up of boiled milk,
rather than raw or pasteurized.
Do not give your baby raw milk
that Is more than "a hours old or
pasteurized milk that is older than
SO hours. Never make more than
one days formula at time.
Upon the sterilization Of your
baby's food, and the utensils from
which he drinks (Which includes
bottles, nipples and bottle caps used
for water and orange juice, as we'll
as milk, his very life may depend.
Or did I say that before? I shall
repeat it until doomsday if expectant
mothers, and mothers with young
babies, will only listen and be

Today, more people are writing
more letters than at any time in
our history. According to a recent
statement issued by the Post Office
Department, $4,000, 900 letters a week

So far as our servicemen are con-

Chinese TRANSACTIONS

Before you leap to the conclusion,
that this Is going to be transla-
ton from Confucius, let me assure
you that this is really report on
fall fashions as shown in New York.
After reviewing the new fall col
lections last week as the guest of
the New YORK Dress Institute, 1t
looks to us as If the designers had
negotiated a special lend-lease fash
ion treaty with the Chinese. OF
course, it's only natural that the
designers, faced with the problem
of creating new fashions within the
rigid fabric limitations of the law,
should look to the East for inspira-
tion, for the Chinese silhouette is
simple, beautiful one based on
straight, slim, unadorned lines.
There's bit of Chinese in every
collection, 1t seems. There are slim,
one-piece sheaths for daytime and
dress wear, sometimes unrelieved ex-
cept for an embroidered Chinese Or
nament. There are casual dresses
with tiny mandarin collars, and 9TH
ers with bright contrasting band
ings that have a very Ming Toy"
look. Many Of the new slim skirts
are slit China-wise Chinese COL
ors, too, abound in all their ORR
entail glory-striking Chinese reds
and wonderful bright plumage blues
and green's that add a staccato note
to the slim lines of the fashions.
There are frog closings, Chinese
medallions and embroideries-au
very effective.
One of the high spots of the lovely
Samuel Kass collection is Madame
Chang Kai-shek," a magnificent
soft-shouldered dinner sheath of
Chinese blue crepe blazing with rows
of sequins from its tiny mandarin
collar to its tight slit-skirt-a truly
magnificent example of the Chinese
influence on new fashions.
Grandma and her Victorian fash
ions have also influenced many of
the clothes you'll be wearing this
fall. Remember Grandma's hug

basic dress. There are lots of short
jacket suits, often dipping in back,
with Victorian braided collars.
Dresses, too, are trimmed with braid
in various ways. One beautiful soft
blue wool ensemble from the Ben
Reig collection is trimmed not only
with crochet braid, but with crochet
drops as well that look as though
they might have been stolen from
Grandma's curtains. And from a

Oven Canning
May Prove
Hazard

The United States Department OF
Agriculture has cautioned home
Gamers against the oven method of
canning food. Oven canning-at
any time a slow and unsatisfactory
way of applying the heat necessary
to can food safely-has developed
wartime hazards, home canning spe-
cialists explained.
Serious accidents to persons and
property as a result of misunder-
standing of canning techniques have
been reported to the department.
Exact temperature control is nee
essary for home canning and oven
regulators that cannot be serviced
because of war conditions may add
to the hazard. The heat-control
devices on many kitchen ovens help
to do an excellent job in baking
food, but they may not be dependa-
BILE at the range of temperatures
necessary for successful canning.
The jar cap on a new wartime
jar-with glass top, rubber ring and
steel screw band-needs careful ad-
justment to allow escape of steam
during canning so jars will not
break. If the band is not given a
quarter turnback after cap is first
screwed down the glass may shatter
during processing. Any type of
home canning jar cap. screwed down
too tightly before processing, may
ruin the seal even if no accident
occurs.
Cold packing of food also may
cause difficulty. The department
recommends the hot pack-that is,
heating the food to boiling and fill
ing it boiling-hot into hot jars for
immediate processing,
Home canning specialists explain
that even hot-packed food expands
in jars during processing and gives
off steam that must escape to pre-
vent explosion of the jar When
the cap on glass jar is so tight
that enough steam cannot escape
pressure accumulates inside the jar
until 1t may become great enough
to shatter the glass. blow out the
rubber, or otherwise prevent a per-
feet seal.
There is special hazard in an oven,
because ovens have no device to
relieve the force of such an explo-
sion. and the oven and oven door
have to take it. In a water bath
Gamer, force Of an exploding jar
Is slowed down by the surround
ing water. and a pressure Gamer
has safety valve to let off steam
when pressure is too high.
A recent folder, Wartime Can
ming of Fruits and Vegetables" is
sued by the Bureau of Human Nu-
triton and Home Economics, points
out these added disadvantages to
oven canning: Juice bubbles out or
steams away; peaches and pears
are likely to darken. For
the vegetables that need high heat
to kill bacteria, oven canning is
not safe. Even though the oven
goes to $50 degrees F., or higher,
food inside the glass jars stays at
about the boiling point" And the
boiling point of water, 212 degrees
F., Is not sufficient heat to kill dan
gerous bacteria in a reasonable
time in beans, peas, corn and other
nonacid vegetables and meat.
For home canning of both the
nonacid vegetables and meat, the
department recommends only a
steam pressure canner, and for
fruits and tomatoes the boiling wa
ter hath

Coffee Supply
| N0w almost
| Normal

Now that the OPA has eased cof-
fee rationing to a pound every three
weeks, our supply will be approx
imately what it was in normal times.
In 1941 we imported over two
billion pounds of coffee, an average
of a pound every two and q half
weeks for each person in the coun-
try more than IA years old. Sons
persons, of course, use little or no
coffee. even in normal times, which
means that the usual consumption
Of those who do drink it would ap-
proximate the new ration schedule.
So, Well have pretty nearly as
much coffee as we want now.
Unlike some of the other tropical
products we import, practically all
Of our coffee comes to us from the
Western Hemisphere. The sub
marine danger in the Atlantic has
been remedied to large extent aid
new cargo ships are coming of the
ways in substantial numbers, max
ing increased trade with Latin
America possible.
Far Eastern sources, on the other
hand, are still largely cut off from
us by Japanese occupation or great
distance. And so these days we are
becoming more and more dependent
on Middle America, not only for
coffee (most of the high-quality
beans are obtained there, but also
for numerous other products Of
tropical agriculture. Many of these
products, such as Manila hemp,
which we used to get from the Phil
ippires; tannin, manganese and es-
sential oils, are vital to our war
effort.
