FRIDAY, FEB. 25, 1941

{NE JORDAN

‘DEAR JANE JORDAN—Is a young man allowed to come to you: “With his troubles? .I love a girl in another state very much. She Ads. very pretty and popular. We write every week but do not get to "be together very often. She knows I love her, but I am not so sure of ‘her, I give her nice gifts on her birthdays and Christmas be- ~. cause I do love her. When I am with her she always is a lot of . dun. She is friendly to everyone. I can’t help but be jealous of the Ones who are with her at anytime when I can’t be. ~~ Should I go to her city (a large one) and get a job or just be ~ gatisfied with writing to her? I can’t get her off my mind and “don’t know what to do. She really loves a good time but doesn’t like ~ to be free and easy with her kisses. I think ‘more of her for that. She won't tell me what to do about coming to her town as she says . .She is afraid I won't find a job and then it would be her fault. My parents approve of her and I think her parents like me. With this girl’s love to help me I think I would have a bright future. Bhould I'go, even if we couldn't go steady? IN LOVE. I hat iE 4 ” “

. Answer—A man in love has to be practical above all things. It marriage is in your mind, financial security is the first thing you have to work for. Unless you are prepared to assume the responsib ES marriage you can’t very well propose to a girl. | Since this is true wouldn't it be folly to give up a sure job and ! £0 to a strange city without the slightest idea of whether you can : tion of its relative desirability to ‘work or not?

Month End Budget Time

THERE WAS A TIME when the family purchasing agent might well have benefited by a slight claim fo clairvoyance, for that was about the only. way she could be reasonably sure of what she was buying. But a variety of fact-bearing tags and other devices has simplified matters for her. . Even the meat she buys at the butcher shop is marked, by Government experts, to let her know just what she is getting. The official grades of beef are “Prime,” “Choice,” “Good,” “Commercial” anl “Utility.” Two additional ones, “Cutter” and “Canner,” seldom are sold in retail shops so the housewife needs to remember but five grades as she distributes her food dollar. Beef is graded on the basis of characteristics determining its value and providing the .best indica-

meat. It is not so satisfactory for broiling or oven roasting as higher grades but is satisfactory in preparation of economical meat dishes such as pot roasts, stews or other dishes calling for longer cooking periods. The grade stamp differs from the round purple stamp used in Federal meat inspection work. The round stamp shows only that the meat has been inspected and passed for food. The grade stamp appears in a long strip the full length of

SE OUR EASTER LAYAWAY

“Choice” .is the highest grade of beef sold regularly at retail. The

fat is moderately thick and white|

or creamy while the lean is bright colored. ‘“Good” is the highest grade of beef sold in volume and at moderate prices. The fat covering is slightly thin and therefore, since it does -not require a great deal of trimming, is-a good buy for small food budgets. The “Commercial” grade is leaner and less expensive than the preceding grades. Because of the lack of fat, it is not so satisfactory for broiling or oven roasting but is suitable for moist heat cooking such as pot roasting and stewing. “Utility” grade beef is used principally by families finding it necessary to buy relatively low-priced

The Question Box

Q—How often should a young child’s hair be washed? A—Once a week, winter and summer. Use liquid soap, which can be prepared readily by heating soap shavings and water until the soap is dissolved. .

Q—Please give me a recipe for stuffed baked potatoes. A—Cut medium sized baked potatoes in half, remove the pulp and mash it, adding butter and enough hot milk to give it the consistency of mashed potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Fill the potato cases with the mixture, sprinkle with grated cheese and bake in a hot oven from 8 to 10 minutes,

Q—Is it safe to depend on appetite as a guide in eating? A—Healthy individuals can ordinarily be guided as to the quantity by their appetites, but they should know enough about correct diets to select one that is well balanced. Appetite .is not a guide in this respect.

Q—What is the difference be-

tween cocoa and chocolate?

A—Both are prepared from the cocoa bean, but chocolate contains a much larger proportion of fat than cocoa.

Q—Please tell me how to clean a

A—Rub it with a piece of cut Wash carefully

Your Health

By JANE STAFFORD

Science Service Writer MANY PEOPLE who have learned that diseases such as scarlet fever, diphtheria and even the common cold are due to micro-organisms popularly ealled germs fail to real-

: [ize that germs also cause food poi- : | soning of the kind that used to be : | known as ptomaine poisoning. . | fact, health authorities declare that : | contamination of food with certain

In

bacteria, or germs, that infect the intestinal tract is the most common cause of. food poisoning. The poison that causes the sickness is made by the germs. These food poisoning germs, especially the staphylococci, are so widely distributed, although we cannot see them, that it is very difficult to keep them out of food. They have certain characteristics, however, which make it fairly easy for us to protect ourselves against them. They can be killed by heat, as in thorough cooking. They can be kept from growing and producing their poison by low temperatures such as are found in refrigerators. At temperatures in between those of the stove and the refrigerator, such as the comfortably warm temperature of kitchens and most serving pantries, these bacteria flourish. They also flourish on certain kinds of foods, such as custards, and cream fillings for

pastries. ” »

AN IMPORTANT POINT for all cooks to remember is to cut to a minimum the time in which food stands in. the kitchen or pantry after it has been cooked. If it is not to be eaten immediately after taking it from the stove, get it cold as quickly as possible and keep it cold—not just cool, but really cold. Custard and cream filled pastries are not the only foods that need special care and proper refrigeration up to the time they are eaten. Health: authorities also *warn that the new so-called tenderized or precooked hams also should be stored in the refrigerator. Meat loaf, spagetti, and chicken salad have also been known to harbor germs which caused outbreaks of food poisoning. These foods themselves are not to blame. The trouble comes when they are not handled and prepared

with suitable safeguards against the germs, ~
