LIFE'S LIKE THAT

Il know our quarrel was about
wanting to buy new hat. but I got
to thinking how foolish it was for
us to have trouble over a LITTLE
thing like that"
Evening star., 1944-01-10

CITY located between TWO lakes WHICH
were joined by a small river. Each
winter the lakes had selid ice which
was fine for skating, but the river
about 40 feet wide-seemed never
to have safe ice. 1t did get coat
of ice from time to time, but chill
dren who walked on 1t were in
danger of falling through. More
than one child has lost his life in
this little river. ...5
We hear Of the Dnieper River in
Russia freezing over so well that
troops can cross 1t, but we should
not let that give us a false idea
about frozen rivers. Military en-
gineers are on hand to decide when
the ice on q certain river is safe,
but in everyday life we have no
such service. River ice may be safe
one day, but dangerous the next.
A current tends to keep river
from freezing over. If the surface
does freeze fairly well. the current
may wear the ice thin with the
passing Of days or weeks.
So it is g. good idea to keep OF
of river ice unless we have real
knowledge that the ice is safe.
Another exception might be a small
frozen stream or creek with shall
low water. II person cannot sink
farther than to knees or waist, he
is not likely to suffer very much.
1t is possible, however, that even
little wetting on a cold day will
be far from pleasant. I found that
out once when I sank through ice
which covered pond!
How much worse if a person goes
into the water over his head! The
current may carry him under the
Ice and put him in a trap. A help
less feeling must come over any
one who has that happen to him.
Frozen lakes have given pleasure
to millions Of human beings who
have skated on them. We may all
be glad that winter brings such
sport, but we should remember that
lakes, as well as rivers, have claimed
victims.
Persons who skate on thin ice
may not live to skate (or do any
thing else) on another day. The
more We enjoy life, the more we
should try tL save ourselves from
harm

CUSIMANSE.

SO04NA<14NoG.
Cusimanses belong to the group of
smooth-nosed mongooeses. They are
rangers in West Africa from the
Camerun Mountains to Sierra Le-
one. They wear uniformly colored
coat Of dull brown. From q distance
1t appears to be dull brown without
any yellow In it, but the yellow tips
of the hairs give a better appearance
when one has an opportunity to see
the cusimanse close UP, and he does
not mind.
The true mongooses resemble our
weasel to degree. The ears are
small and round, the eyes glitter
when the animal is hunting and the
rather sharp nose quivers slightly
when the prize is almost captured.
The one outstanding trait of the
cusimanse is its fondness for CATCH
ing snakes. When approaching a
reptile it creeps upon it so quietly
that the snake does not have time to
turn and run. 1t lashes out its
tongue with lightning rapidity. This

Sauerkraut as a Health Food

Sauerkraut as a Health Food
Throughout the country there is
an ever increasing interest in sau-
erkraut because science now has
found that it is among the most
valuable and corrective foods.
Among the simple vegetable foods
whose effects upon the human body
have been studied by medical men
and food authorities is cabbage, es-
! pecially cabbage in its most easily
digested -sauerkraut.
Sauerkraut. is nothing more than
fermented cabbage. And cabbage is
not only one of the most delicious
foods, but also one of the health
full when properly prepared. 1t con-
tains all the vitamins. II is rich in
lime, potash and PHOSPHORUS; also
in iron and calcium, the bone
building substance.
Sauerkraut gives us all the val
liable properties of cabbage, and
in form which is more easily di-
gested and more palatable. The
process of fermentation which it
undergoes produces Tactic acid,
which is known to scinece as one
of the most valuable prophylactics.
and which renders sauerkraut not
only more digestable, but also more
valuable as a food.
1t might also be added that the
pleasant sour taste has a stimu-
lating effect upon the appetite, and
when its too hot to eat" a gener-
Gus bowl of raw sauerkraut sur
rounded by cracked ice, provides a
delicious refreshing meal. The pi-
quaint flavor of the crisp and sue
culent sauerkraut delights the
palate. And the natural Tactic acid
cleanses and disinfects the intes-
tional tract from impurities and
toxins. This is the natural way to
keep cool-more effective than
drinking iced tea.
In making sauerkraut. only the
choicest cabbage should be used
and they should be finely cut with
absolute uniformity. This insures
even and uniform fermentation. An
earthenware jar of suitable capa-
city or kegs may be used as con-
1 tanners.
The finely cut cabbage is weigh
/ ed and salt in the ratio of p cup
to 10 pounds is thoroughly mixed
with the cabbage The sailed cab
bage is firmly packed in the con-

tainer. When the container is pack
ed to within or inches of the
top the cabbage is covered with a
clean cloth and a weighted cover
= a plate or a board The func-
ton ofthe weighted cover is to
keep the cabbage submerged in the
brine.
The container should be placed in
cool or moderately warm room
where fermentation begins. Active
fermentation usually continues for
10 to 20 days.
The scum that forms on the
surface must be removed every
few days When active fermenta-
ton ceases, the container should
be moved to cool room for ripen-
ing or curing. If the storage room
is quite cool the sauerkraut may
be left in the container by giving
proper protection, that is the
weighted cover is removed and a
layer of melted paraffin is poured
over the kraut. If preferred the
sauerkraut may be packed tightly
into glass jars and enough graut
juice added to fill the jar. The
jars are partially sealed and pro-
cessed in water bath for one min
ute.
Sauerkraut, at its best, should
have a normal acid flavor, indica-
tive of proper fermentation. It
must never be bitter, sweet, or ran
cid.
The color should be light straw
or golden; neither too white nor
dark yellow; free rom black or
brown spots.
Thus we see that sauerkraut is a
wholesome and nourishing food,
rich in vitamines; that, because of
its Tactics ferments, it is of great
value cas- an intestional disinfectant,
as a natural conditioner and regu-
lar, as an appetizer, and even as a
corrective and preventive of SER
ious ailments.
