Hints for Better Cooking
Never wash berries until just be-

juice in strawberries, wash the Der.
ries before removing hulls. The
best way to wash them is to float
them in a pan OF water and lift
out gently. Repeat the process un-
til the water remains clear.
Oranges and lemons will squeeze
more easily if they are rolled
against the table until they are
slightly soft. II they are too hard

VETERANS GUIDE
 By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

Jerry hasn't been paying any pre- miums.
 I could try to explain why this happens. but the man at the VA who told me about i5 said I'd get all balled up. I think he's right.
 Just remember that if you pay your premiums on a converted poll cy and start building up a 'cash value and then stop paying pre- miums, your insurance continues in force automatically for as long as the cash value, used as a single net premium, will purchase that in surance for you.
 Take vet who converted his SlO,000 NSLI to ordinary life at the age Of 30. At the end of ten years. his policy has cash value of Sl.- 201C0. If he should stop paying premiums right then. he still would be protected for the full S1o,090 worth for B years and 1l5 days longer. The cash value is used as premiums to continue insurance in force.
 One word Of warning. If you do let your insurance lapse and don't cash if in for the cash value and don't die before the end of the period during which you're covered, you have no insurance left.
 That's extended insurance. The man at the VA told me that many vets of World War One let their Government life insurance lapse, sometimes many years after it had been converted. Their, beneficiaries, knowing that the Insurance had lapssd, didn't expect any payments after the insured died.
 But the insurance had been ex- tended automatically as soon as it lapsed. So if the World War One vet died before the end of the period during which his insurance had been extended. his beneficiaries were paid the full amount.
 Boy, there sure are a lot of twists to this insurance business.
