Report to the Housewife

mildew may produce permanent
stains and in time materials may
rot to pieces. The main line of de-
fense is to dry attacked articles
thoroughly, using sun and air when
ever possible. Calcium, one of
the most important minerals in bone
formation. is found in many fruits
and vegetables. The calcium In ripe
olives is comparable to the amounts
found in rich-in- calcium caulif1ower
and broccoli. Ripe olives contain
large amount of fruit oil which gives
them a luscious nutlike flavor. 1t
takes 8 to 10 medium sized ripe
olives to make 100 calories. :. . On
the other hand, an average slice of
apple or berry pie will give you about
$50 calories. Another good way
to save with your home freezer is
to buy and freeze vegetables when
the local crop reaches its peak. You
get the best quality, widest selection
and lowest prices. Freeze corn-on-
the-cob, a delicious out-of-season
treat for winter dinners. All
the glamour of a professional looking
milk shake can be made right at
home; use fully ripe bananas, beaten
smooth in your electric mixer, plus
ice-cold milk. There are enough
for you to establish quite
a reputation as AT understanding

tablespoon of chocolate syrup one
day, a heaping spoonful of vanilla |
ice cream the next, or substitute
fourth of cup of pineapple Juice
for an equal amount of milk.

The produce picture is not too
bright this week; a spell of rainy
weather in the New Jersey area has
definitely affected the supplies on
our local markets.
Carolina peas have felt the effects
of the hot weather in that area. as
result the quality is very poor;
lima beans. too, are very scarce
right now: One dealer told. me the
hot sun the past 10 days was not
doing the tomato crop any good; if
the heat continues We can look for
higher priced tomatoes, I'm afraid.
If you are depending on buying
your canning tomatoes from the
markets you shouldn't wait much
longer.
Citrus fruits from California have
advanced in price; this holds for
melons, too. Fruits, generally, tend
to be more expensive this week.
You'll find plenty of peaches but.
there again, the quality is not all
you could wish it to be. Summer

little sour for plain eating. Long
Island caulif1oWer is beginning to
show up in the market; green beans,
potatoes, cucumbers, corn, squash,
peppers. cabbage, and tomatoes are
all plentiful.
AS for meat, maybe the less said
the better. The price on the choicer
cuts still puts it in the luxury class. |
However, you will find some fairly
reasonable buys to be had: Chuck
roast, beef. liver and the cold cuts
are within budget limits. Fish and
seafood are great menu favorites
for summer meals There are as
many ways to prepare fish as there |
are varieties of the finny tribe itself. |
One of the easiest and simplest !.
ways. I think, is to quick bake
the f1llets or small fish; all you do
is dip the fish in salted milk, then !
in finely crushed corn flakes or
crumbs, whichever you like better,
arrange the fillets on Well-oiled .

RICE:
STEWED CORN?
SUGGESTION.

From Mrs. P. C. p, Arlington)
Perhaps Mrs. c. D. McD., OF
Washington is having trouble get
ting the rice fluffy because of the
type of rice she is using. During
the rice shortage a few months back
could not produce anything but
the sticky kind Ifound that there
are two types of rice on the market
The round or pearl shape does not
fluff up well. Buy the kind that has
long thin grains.
The first and very necessary step
il cooking is to rinse the rice in a
strainer with cold water until the
water runs clear. 1t is quite milky
looking at first. Use a four-quart
saucepan and bring three quarts of
salted water to a boil. Drop the
rice IN slowly, stirring it up from
the bottom Let it boil until a
grain of rice tastes done except for
a little rawness in the center of
the grain. That usually takes about
ten minutes. II should have said
two thirds Of cup of rice for that
amount of water) Pour the rice
into strainer and rinse we'll with
cold water. Loosen it with fork
Have enough boiling water in the
bottom of saucepan to keep the
steam up. Let the strainer rest on
the saucepan. Put a lid over the
rice but don't fit it too tightly. Let
the steam come up through the rice
for a half hour Or more, stirring
the rice up now and then. Be sure
the strainer does not sit in the
water.
Can any Southern reader tell me
how to cook fresh stewed corn the
way they do in the South? I have
faint memory of seeing 1t on the
stove in a large spider: my husband
thinks is was done some other way.
Anyway mine did not taste like the
original article.
I wish RICH could have a Sunday
page, say, of selected recipes, the
readers submitting their prize reci-
pes. Every one has a few that
