food in the chest type cabinet,
especially for short people. The
upright cabinet needs defrosting
more often than the chest type,
but is easier to defrost.
The difference in operation cost
is not enough to worry over in
making your decision about cabi-
net design. What is more impor-
tant is the kind of service your
dealer can give for quick repairs
or requirements of any part. Also,
consider your local current.
Be sure to shop around enough
to compare costs, capacity, insula-
ton materials used, finish and
guarantee.
The size cabinet to buy depends
on several things. If a large part
of your family's perishable food
supply is to be frozen and stored,
S cubic feet per person is recon-
| mended.
Actual size of the frozen food
cabinet is not nearly so impor-
tant as the way it is used. Frozen
foods are just another substitute
for fresh products. The longer
the growing season for fresh fruits
and vegetables, the less storage
space you need. Always keep the
food moving in and out of the
freezer.
Ask your dealer: Does the
motor in the cabinet have some
projections against overlooking?
Will the motor run all right on the
line where you will use it? II
the motor Theoretically sealed?
Is the unit equipped with some
type of alarm system to warn
you when the temperature is too
high? Will the freezer maintain
temperatures of zero or lower at
any place where you will store
food? How much food can you
freeze at one time without risk
ing the temperature above zero?
What type insulation material
was used? Is the latch tight
enough on the door or lid to get
correct gasket seal? Just what
does the guarantee cover?
KEEP your guarantee, bill of
sale and book of instructions in
a safe place and where you can
find it.

Wafer Spots

Wafer Spots
A rundown often is the remedy
for spots on clothes resulting from

rayons and silks. Splashes are less
likely to show on prints, espec-
tally those of all-over design.
To remove water spots, first
try rubbing the fabric with finger
nail or edge of coin, or simply
rubbing between the hands. Rub
bling is especially effective on
crepe weaves. After the rub, press
the whole garment. with slightly
damp tissue paper or press cloth.
In explaining why water spots

Health Unaffected
By Soil Fertility
Status Of Land
Not Disease Cause

Any statement that cancer, arth-
ritis or heart disease are increas-
ing because the foods we eat are
raised on mineral-starved land Is
hokum according to specialists on
the subject.
An article in Successful Farming
magazine contends there is more
oratory than knowledge, about the
effects of soil fertility on human
health. The experts talked to doc
tors of the soil, doctors Of plants,
doctors of humans, nutrition ex-
perts and evangelists who say we
are facing trace suicide"
1t was pointed out that heart dis
ease is often linked to diet, but not
because food is of poor quality.
Rather stoutness and heart disease
show a correlation.
As to arthritis and cancer, mil
lions will call you blessed If you can
show definitely how to stop them
through diet. Meanwhile, it is dis
honest to give the false hope that
soil treatment can cure these dis
eases.
Other myths blasted in the arti-
Gle are (1) that the baby won't
have good bones if its formula Is
made of milk from COW whose
feed was deficient in phosphorus
and calcium; (2) that the adult
won't build muscle and blood from
beefsteak devoid of protein-building
minerals and iron; (3) that all
chemical fertilizers are poison and
that compost and earthworms are
the only means of soil enrichment
we should use, and az that we are
being starved to death because the
grains, fruits and vegetables we
eat come from soils which lack
needed minerals.
Discussing starvation from a
mineral deficiency in foods, it is
asked why we have generation
degeneration increase in the size
of the bony structure of our young
people if we are mineral-starved.
So far as scientists know, man

of them the same as needed for
man and animals. Except for CO.
bait and iodine, plants won't grow
unless all the man-needed minerals
are present, according to the arti-
Gle.
AS to statements that some milk
is low in phosphorus and calcium,
it is said a COW will take calcium
from her own bones and put it in
her milk if her diet is low in cal
cium. AS that supply runs low, she
will give less and less milk. But it
will contain honest weight in min
erals. When her mineral supply
is gone. she quits giving milk and
often dies from the effects of rob-
bling her body.
A fortified farm will produce
more milk than one unfertilized -
but not better milk That's because
it produces more grass. There is
no evidence to prove the grass Is
any better, blade for blade.
