FEET ON DESK IS HEALTHY

NEW YORK - (P) - Putting
your feet on the desk may not be
good manners but it is healthy, re
ports the National Office Furniture
Association.
A survey has shown that one of
every three business men puts his
feet on the desk. If more did so.
the association says, both they and
their business would be in better
shape.
One of the most common symp-
toms of business worries is muscu-
lar tension, according to medical
authorities. Raising feet to desk
level breaks up muscular habit pat
terms and releases tension on the
large muscles at the back of the
thigh.
The association adds that busi-
ness men need not lose dignity by
placing their feet on desks. Pos
ture chairs, a spokesman said, ac-
cOmplish the same purpose.

the food professor describes the
period of time his product is at it's
best.
It IS recommended that containers
of food which are not in constant
use' be marked with the date Of
purchase. Some hOmemakers use
a colored pencil check for a six
months period The explanation of
this check mark is placed on a cal
endar. For example, a blue pencil
mark means the first six months
of 1852, a red mark means the last
six months of 1851. These marks
may be added when cupboards are
cleaned.
Regardless of your system. you
will save food value, flavor and in
some cases the contents of the en-
tire can or package by observing
the shelf life of a product.

Do you wonder why the biscuits
you made this morning are not up
to the q2ality of the last ones? Did
you think the jam you ate last
night lacked the fresh quality you
usually associate with it?
All food products deteriorate
with age. Our present methods of
preservation are remarkable and
give us good food even after being
stored for some time. But the
hOmemaker frequently gives too
much credit to the tin can or the
temperature of 15' F.
Most food labels carry the in
structiOns to store food in a cool,
dry place. Many apartments and
homes offer no storage space below
average room temperatures. CAM
ned foods will show a marked loss
of food value and flavor after one
year. The higher the storage tenn
perature, the faster this takes
place. Dampness may produce rust
which can result in leaks.
Baking powder mixtures, such as
biscuit and cake mixes, may lose
the effect of the baking powder be-
cause of humidity in the room.
Flour and other grain products
make excellent feasts for vermin.
The speed of growth is accelerated
in summertime. These grains pro-
ducts should be used within a few
months of their purchase and at
that we assume they are fresh at
the time of purchase.
Frozen foods should be used
within reasonable periods of time
No frozen food should be KEEP
