State College Hints
For Farm Homes
By RUTH CURRENT
Today's storage is tomorrow's din
ner. Don't store glass jars of fruits
and vegetables (1) in hot places, (2)
in damp places, (3) in bright places,
(4) on weak shelves.
Fresh fruits and vegetables should
be stored in a way that will preserve
their attractive colors, their fresh
flavors, and their health-giving nu
trients.
The most useful cellar will be
large enough to hold canned goods
as well as potatoes, turnips, beets,
carrots, cabbage, celery, onions, and
apples. Cellar, cave, and pit storage
are cheap and effective for many
vegetables. In storage cellars or
caves, shelves, bins, or stacked crates
may be used to conserve space and
provide for free circulation of air
around fruits and vegetables.
What foods build strong muscles?
Milk, eggs, meat, cheese, dried beans
and peas. These foods not only build
muscles but help keep muscles in
good repair.
Do milk, eggs, meat, dried beans
and peas have any other value in
the diet'1 Yes, they help safeguard
the health of the body. They are some
of the "protective" foods rich in min
erals and vitamins.
A Restaurant menus will indicate
the weight of the meat portion serv
ed and the patron wlil accordingl>
deduct this from his weekly ullow
ance.
Q Will chicken be shared undci
the 2 1-2 pound allowance?
A No.
Q Will fish be shared under the
2 1-2 pound allowance?
A No.
