Sw, [Food Cans | Deceptive Housewives Warned to

‘Keep Eye on Contents’ Value as Well as Size.

’

25 Million | Americans Make Vows for Betterment; Less Drinking and Smoking Promised; Women Resolve More Than Men.

"It takes all kinds of food manufacturers to make a world, Certainly, we can assume that most American manufacturers and packers prefer to give honest value to the housewife and to package food | in. boxes, containers and cans not so designed - as ‘to deceive the con- . | sumer. Se : - However, now at the beginning of a ney year, women ‘who spend the family’s hard earned food money {might well stop, look and listen— stop buying by extravagant advertising only, look carefully at each can -or container to make certain exact contents are printed thereon, and listen to:a few pertinent sentences reprinted below from the Consumer's _ Guide, Washington, "| “spices are sometimes sold in cans which seem to, and could, hold 1%, times as much as they actually do. Or optical illusions created by the bottle-maker’s ingenuity persuade the housewife she is buying larger olives, or lots more va=nilla extract, than she is going to

get. ; ; “ “The line that separates clever packaging from polite deception is not always easy to draw. Most of the products which nod across this line bear labels which tell their contents by net weight or volume or count. If they move in interstate commerce, Federal law requires the declaration. For these labels consumers should look.

Law Requires Marking

“Federal protection against slack fill in packages that pass in interstate commerce will be enlarged when the new Food, Drug and Cosmetic Law goes into effect in June, 1939. Chief safeguard against slack fill now is the McNary-Mapes amendment to the original Food and Drugs Act. : “Canned foods which are substandard with regard either to fill or packing medium are not ruled off the market. They may be sold, but they must be labeled so that the customer knows what she is getting. “If the can is not properly filled —if it is long on head space or short on drained weight—it must be marked: ‘Slack fill.) If it contains too much of the packing medium, it has to be marked: ‘Contains excess added liquid’.” > Consumers may write to Food and Drug Administration, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C,, for free copies of “Service and Regulatory Announcements, Food and Drug No. 4” which gives the standards on quality, condition and fill of container for canned foods.

. NEW YORK, Jan. 3—In case youre privately thinking of carrying out any New Year's resolutions, you might as well have the comfort of knowing that millions of other Americans have done just that. "Ordinary men and women all around you—hushands and wives and : ameles and aunts—have taken a brace on themselves and resolved to'be-} &: have more satisfactorily during 1939. : If their resolutions are carried out, this year will see more money tucked away for “things that really matter,” less drinking and smoking ‘and a phenonienal improvement in the American disposition. ; ~All these possibilities are indicated in a year-trend survey by the mexican Institute of Public Opinion. The Institute asked a cross,section of men and women in all. sections of the country and all walks of life: “Are you going to ‘make any New Year's resolutions?” Those who said “Yes” were asked to 0 list them

admitted forming A, “resolve” for 1939. Women proved more inclined to « resolutions than men, and there were interesting differences in what the two sexes considered most important. Both men and women, however, * * agreed in listing the saving of money as the most popular single resolution, with women particularly emphatic on the point.

Seek Improved ‘Characters’

Next to saving more money, wom= en were resolved to improve their «characters” and dispositions and to go to church oftener. Men resolved to “do better in business”. and to cut down on their smoking ‘and - drinking. : The ‘complete list of men’s resolutions, as reported to the field investigators, is as follows: ~ 1—Save more money. 9 Better myself in business. 3— Stop smoking or reduce smok-

Grapefruit—now in season—used to be a breakfast dish. Now it's all over the lot. Every year many ‘readers ask .for a recipe for broiled grapefruit. It’s getting to be popular as a dinner dessert.

Broiled Grapefruit,

Select smooth-skinned grapefruit and cut eaci grapefruit in half. Core and remove seeds. Loosen segments by cutting around them with curved knife, but do not take out membrane. : Sprinkle one tablespoon brown or granulated sugar on top. of each half. Dot generously with butter.

the New Deal is an attempt to bring about better conditions for the man who works. As Duke of York, the King went to factories to learn. conditions for himself. He became President of the Society for Industrial Welfare. To break down snobbery and class feeling he established a summer camp where boys from the universities and ‘boys from the factories meet as equals. He camped with them. As King last summer he once more joined in their meals, their games and their song fests. : And if the President wants to talk of his other hobby—stamps— well, King George inherited from his father one of the finest collections in the world. - : 2 8 = : HE women of America will be 1 more interested in the clothes the Queen will wear. : Well, ladies, Her Majesty is partial to skirts and trains strewn . with sparkling embroidery, sequins and paillettes.

She used to go in for . pastel shades, but has more recently worn black and white ensembles. When she went to France, she took with her an all-white wardrobe which enchanted the: critical Parisians. At the most recent courts at Buckingham Palace she has helped bring crinoline back to the vogue. To make herself look taller she has picked hats, with higher crowns. Her favorite jewels are diamonds and pearls. For ornamentation she also gogs in for “artificial flowers, taking by choice those to be found in old-fashioned English gardens.
