State College Hints
For Home makers
"Spring weariness," so common
in grandmother's, day that she
dosed her family with spring
tonic, now is thought to have
come from a .shortage of vitamin
C. it often went along with ach
ing joints and bleeding gums ?
first symptoms of scurvy, the
disease caused by a deficiency
of vitamin C. Instead of the sul
phur and molasses which grand
mother often used as a spring
tonic, the nutritionists today ad
vise serving more of the foods
rich in C ? citrus fruits or canned
citrus products, canned tomatoes
and juice, and green cabbage,
green and raw vegetables and
fruits generally, as the budget
allows. The nutritionists agree
heartily with grandmother in her
belief that spring greens, either
wild or garden varieties, are
good spring tonics.
On washable fabrics, soap and
water will remove jvery slight
scorches. Bleaches should be us
ed" only on~ ' washable - white
materials. And we're very sorry
to state that you can never ex
pect to sucessfully remove a deep
scorch ' for the fabric itself has
been permanently injured.
Teapots and teacups as well as
coffee cups often become stain
ed. Remove these stains by
sprinkling the teapot or cups
with baking soda, then wipe out
with a damp cloth. Rinse and
dry well.
Baking dishes and casseroles
are often hard to clean because
foods which have been baked in
them for a comparatively long
period may dry around the sides
of the dish. When this happens,
just pift a little baking soda in
the dish or casserole and add
some hot water to it. Let stand
for a few minutes and the dish
can then be washed easily.
Approximately three table
spoons of baking soda used in
the quantity of water necessary
to fill an ordinary sized casserole
are ample to loosen the food that
adheres.
PERSPIRES IN REFRIGERATOR
ROOM
Johannesburg, S. Africa. ?
When a native dock worker was
accidentally locked in one of the
chambers of a Cape Town re
frigerating plant, he had pres
ence of mind enough to realize
that unless he kept moving, he
would freeze to death. When he
was rescued the next morning
he was not only alive, but per
spiring. He had spent the night
shifting o huge stack of fruit
boxes from one side of the room
to the other and then back again.

"EasY Does Ii"
By HELEN HAI-E
If you want to keep your
kitchen neat while cooking, re
vise your working techniques
and see how much simpler all
your work becomes.
Measure out all ingredients be
fore you start putting a recipe
together, then check them with
the recipe, *nd you will rule out
forgetting ingredients and thus
causing failures.
Having all ingredients as well
as utensils assembled before you
begin to work, saves time as well
as confusion.
Keep the dish pan full of
soapy suds and put each utensil
in it as you finish using it.
While you wait for butter to
melt, onions to saute, milk to
scald, and other time-involving
procedures, wash the dishes you
have soiled and get them out of
the way. In this way, cleaning
doesn't pile up on you!
_ Finish Bliflting the kitchen
while food bakes so you will
Kave plenty of neat surface to
place it on when cooking time is
finished.
Place pots and pans to soak as
soon as you finish using them.
Soaking will mean less elbow
work for you as most pans clean
easily when food is loosened
from them.
Save measuring utensils by
sifting flour and other dry in
gredients on pliable paper plates.
These may be used several times.
Flour sifters do not need to be
washed after every use if they
are brushed off with a stiff
bristled brush.
If using syrup or honey, mea
sure fat in the cup first, so that
the syrup will not stick to it.
