Proper Care Wil Much Food Sp I" "A woman can throw out with a teaspoon what a man brings in with a shovel." Food that spoils after it is F "brought into the home kitchen usual- i ly is a needless waste. A good dealj of food spoilage could be prevented by proper care, the United States lc Department of Agriculture has found, n ?"

Fish p should be stored in the ice box, as it f: imparts its flaver to other foods, particularly to milk and butter. It is n better to buy just enough fish for a o meal and have no left overs to dis- ti pose of.

Soiled eggs spoil quickly. Insist p on getting clean eggs and keep them 0 cool. Do not wash an egg until just p before using; water removes a coat- 0 ing on the shell which hinders mi-1 a cyooganisms from getting into the1 ^ contents. 11) Fats and oils are best stored in't] the dark. Butter absorbs flavors |p and should be well covered. A stone crock with a lid serves well. Fresh vegetables and fruits should be kept clean, well ventilated, and if possible, at a temperature between 60 degrees and 40 degrees F. Decay- g ed ones should be frequently sorted ^ cut. Very often the decayed portion j, may be cut away and the rest of the ? fruit or vegetable used at once. Wilted leaf vegetables sometimes j may be freshened by soaking in wa- j til- just before using. All vegetables p and fruits, especially those to be eaten raw, should be thoroughly washed in running water before they are usP ed. The loss of flavor and texture is j very slight and is made up for by the ^ Amnvol nf Haoforin nnd nossible spray residue. Decaying fruits and S vegetables always attract flies. Moist cooked foods made with ^ milk, eggs, meat or fish, are excellent breeding places for harmful microoganisms, including many which cause poisoning. Chilled left over should be used a ssoon as possible. Left overs of meat pie, dishes made Cl with cream sauce, soft custard, bo;l- Is e-.l dressing, and dressing made with cream must be carefully kept and handled and promptly used. They of ten cause serious poisoning before ^ they taste or smell spoiled. Boiled rice, hominy and other cereals spoil quickly. g? Scald Bread Box Weekly. Bread and cakes should be kept j| in a ventilated box. Hot bread if should not be wrapped immediately. e The moisture of fresh bread causes 1 molds to form. The bread box should |j be scalded once a week. ? Crackers and cookies lose their 1 crispness, by absorbing moisture j? from the air. They should be kept j| in air tight boxes, wrapped in parch- ? ment or paraffin paper, if possible. a All dry groceries must be kept dry and clean and in insect proof con- = tainers. Cereals and flavors should be | bought in small quantities in the . summer, as they tend to develop wee- i A?*AM nrlian WaII /-? ora^ f AF Pr?rn I meal from which the "germ" has not been removed turns rancid with keep- j ing. Airtight containers are neces- ( sary for tea, coffee, spices and bak- ! ing powder. Ground roasted coffee loses flavor rapidly. Do not lay in a hrge stock of coffee unless it can be roasted and ground at home. The fat in chocolate may turn rancid, so keep it cool and dark. Canned goods should be stored in a dark, cool place to prevent fading. Examine vegetables within a fortnight after canning to detect spoilage. A little mold on the top of jelly or rich preserves is not dangerous, but canned vegetables which look, smell, or taste at all spoiled should never be eaten.
