Canning, lehvdration and cold are Pine Hall Items. Pine Hall, March 18.—Mrs. J. L. Hanes was hostess to the Woman's Missionary Society Saturday afternon at a very interesting meeting which was presided over by the president Mrs. C. L. Lester. After the opening hymn and prayer by Miss Pattie Rolls a chapter of the Gospel of St. John was read and it was decided to continue i the next meetings with the study of the first chapter of the Gospel of St. John. This will be discussed and questions will be asked. All business was taken up and a delegate ap pointed to attend the confer-! r ; enee which was held in Wins ton-Salem March 17-10. Mrs. T. D. Preston and Miss Marion Clarke were enrolled as : new members, and Miss Clarke and Mrs. Blackwell were ap pointed program committee for ; next meeting which will be with Mrs. C. L. Lester. A social i hour followed and delicious re freshments were served. Miss Maud Young entertain-1 j ed at her homo Saturday night i i the principal mean? by which foods are preserved during the M'ison of excess production, to be used mainly during the part oi the year when otherwise we should be reduced to a simple and 1110- nptpnous diet. A long list oi fruits and green vegetables are most ef ■ fectively preserved a whole i some and attractive form, aiia for an almost indefinite period if necessary, through the process of canning. Several kinds of fish and meats, milk, etc., are also best put up in this form. N'o other method serves so well to conserve the delicate flavors of fruits and vege tables as dues canning by modern ¥ - \ war' J ' v i! * V > > v Dr. Milton J. Rosenau of the Harvard Medical Schcol processes. The high favor of can ned foods among consumers everywhere is justified by the re sults of nutritional research." * The Safest Food Dr. Milton J. Rosenau of the Harvard Mcd'Cal School, who has dene extensive research in food poisoning, tells in regard to can ned foods: "Food properly preserved by j heat i* sterile, and such food is &.«fest food that comes on our e. The processing, however, b>: jff.rtive find the contain er' tight. So far as botulism is concerned, home processed foods have been the chief offenders on ac;onnt of incomplete sterilization in me kitchen." Dr. V. JJ. Digclow of the Re search Laboratory of the X'-ational Canner's Association, who has made a carefu4 and far-reaching invt stigation of the causes of food spoilage, j s that it : s due to bac terial action and not to the kind of dish in which the foo l is kept. The various di-.colora.ions, due to contact with metal-, are not objec tionable from the point of view of health, according to this scien tist, but deirait front the appear- | ance of the prodnet and so are guarded against with great care. I Preserving Milk ■ Prof. R. Adams Dutcher, head of the Department of Agricultural and ; Biological Chemistry oi the Penn sylvania State College, recently published the result of his studies ' of milk: "Our studies showed that milk may be pasteurized at 145 decrees for 30 minutes in the absence of air and that little, if any, vitamin destruction occurred. This was not f-!trt when air was admitted, i i with a party. Games were I played throughout the evening and at the conclusion refresh ments were served. Dr. David L. Stuckey and S. R. Gibson attended a ball game at State College, Raleigh, Sat urday night. Rev. Hartsfield held his reg ular church services here yes terday with a large congrega tion. Misses Jean Rierson and Gertrude Creakman, of Walnut Cove, were visitors here yes terday. Miss Sadie Blackwell, of Dan burv. spent the week-end here with parents. Mr. Arthur Lee Ashburn, of Chapel Hill, was visiting rela tives here yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Preston spent yesterday afternoon i'i Greensboro. Miss Marion Clarke, George and Charles Leake were in Madison on business Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Gibson, of Winston-Salem, spent last week here with relatives. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Lester motored to Danbury and Sted- ; Manufacturers of dried milk or j milk powder have studied these problems, with the result that by careful control, much of the orig inal vitamin content oi the milk can oe preserved. "The importance of this cannot be over-emphasized, for in addi tion to its widespread household uses in soups, vegetables and des serts, and in baby formulas, it fur nishes a source of milk for travel er?, infants in the tropic.-, and for people in all places where safe fresh milk is not available. "Another way of preserving milk ior use, where fresh milk is not easily obtained, is to evaporate it or condense it. This process re moves a portion of the water leav ing the original proteins, fats, sugars and salts in a more concen trated form. Our studies ot the vitamin content oi evapoiatcd milks have led us to believe that the growth-pi omoting component of vitamin B is injured very little by the evaporation and steriliza tion process. Vitamin A is par tially destroyed, but a fair propor- Professor R. Adams Dutcher, I Head of Department of Agricultural and Biological Chemistry of the State College tion of this vitamin is preserved if_ the milk was rich to start with. Vitamin D, although not present to any considerable extent, ecen in fresh tr.ilk, does not seem to he greath iiarqicd, although some de struction seems to ta! e place. Vitanii iC is not present in fresh milk in large quantities, and since this vitamin is the most suscepti ble to heat of »he entire group,' it is safe to say that milk p,od-| nets of all kinds should be suppl-.-- ui lited with fruits and fruit juices." Old Prejudices Disappearing P- f. Dutjhcr also makes the VJ lov.-:..g statement: | It is very evident that the old ! prejudices against canned foods i are rapidly disappearing. Scien ' titic res arch has not only im | proved the container but it is find ing ways and means of preparing ; caniud foods which not only pre serv ;• their original payability I and flavor, but, in many instances, | preserve the nutritive value of the | foods as well. • "From the standpoint of bacter ial contamination there is little doubt regarding the superiority of modern canned foods which have been processed properly.

Belew's Creek, March 19th. ■ from many standpoints to obtain : our foods fresh front the garden, orchard and dairy—it is not al ways feasible or necessary to do so, especially when fruits and vegetables arc 'out of season.' "Recent vitamin research shows, quite clearly, that canned fruits and vegetables may be processed in such a manner as to preserve much of the original vitamin po tcncv. This is particularly true with canned tomatoes which have been used successfully as a sub stitute for fresh orange juice in the feeding of children. Our own work has shown that milk may be dried and evaporated and still re tain much of its vitamin content. "It is a matter of considerable satisfaction to the scientific work er to note the enthusiasm with which reputable food manufactur ers are endeavoring to make their products more healthful and more nutritious." Dr. Eddy Testifies Finally Dr. Walter 11. F.ddy of Teachers' College, Columbia Uni versity, makes the following state ment in regard to canned foods: "Fruits and vegetables vary in food value with the season, ripe ness and other conditions. Canned fruits and vegetables share these variables with the market prod uct. Our only absolute standard of good value must then rest on analysis of the product in ques tion. The question of whether a product loses value by canning can be determined only by con trasting food analysis o( the prod ucts before and alter the canning IE9K. 1 ' ■ ISJ Dr. Wt'ter H.
