Want AD Si OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS HERE Always Look Your Best You Can By Calling 100 Not Only For Dry Cleaning An important rule for keeping home-canned food as well as jel lies and jams in best condition is to put them away in a cool, dry place—and promptly. If these foods are allowed to stand arounc in the hot moist air of the kitchen, they lose quality and may not keep well. In heat colors fade and flavor and texture deterio rate. Also paraffin seals on jelly glasses may loosen. In dampness tin cans and metal tops of glass: jars may corrode and eventuallj cause leakage. The specialists add that cool, dry storage is need ed also for 'best Raping of com mercially canned goods. These products often deteriorate if left on upper shelves in the kitchen where they suffer from both heat and humidity, or if they stand in sunny grocery store windows. The cook who saves time by putting sweetpotatoes in the oven or kettle without peeling also saves vitamins. Tests made at Experiment Stations show that sweetpotatoes, boiled or baked in their skins, hold their naturally rich content of carotene (for vitamin A) and vitamin C very well. Tests of a number of var ieties of sweetpotatoes show that, when baked or boiled without peeling, these vegetables retain from 69 to 83 percent of their vitamin C. Potatoes cooked in a pressure saucepan held the most C. Those peeled and then boiled lost the most. Many people add a little sugar to the boiling water to give the potatoes a sweeter flavor. The tests showed that this helps save C—a tip for the future when sugar is more plenti ful. Eliminate farm fire loss by putting into practice the follow ing: 1.

If the iron sticks during ironing, rub it on a little salt sprinkled on paper or smooth it lightly with paraffin or beeswax. A pinch of starch will help keep starched clothes from sticking to the iron. Care in use and storage of cleaners goes hand in hand with getting your money’s worth. Your cleaners and other equipment, such as mops and brooms, lose much of their usefulness if you have to go all around Robin Hood’s barn to get them.. Ideal storage for your vacuum cleaner and other cleaning equip ment is near the place where yon use it most often. Keep it in dry air, not too close to radiators. Heat is hard on rubber parts. Empty your cleaner of dust, or you’ll have a grand breeding place for moths. Loosen the clean er belt if the manufacturer sug gests it. Always wind the cord loosely around the clips that are provided. Store attachments in a pocketed bag, a basket, or on round pegs.
