GENERAL COOKING PRINCIPLES which the official U. S. Navy Cook Book sets down for its cooks afloat and ashore prove just as good

advice in the home galley. It warns:

quired. All foods fried in deep fat done.

This permits the escape of heavy odors and flavors which, if retained by a lid, will make the- vegetable strong. All towels or cloths used for wiping meat, for draining washed fuits or vegetables or as hand towels should be boiled and washed daily.

“AN APPLE A DAY map keep the dentist away” seems to be the new version of the old slogan about the health values of apples. A fairly firm, chewy apple, taken in generous bites that requires considerable chewing, is more efficient than your toothbrush in cleansing your entire mouth, Dr. Holmes T. Knighton, of the University of Louisville, Ky., told the American Dental Association. Oranges, eaten sliced so that you get plenty of pulp to chew on, are almost as good as apples for mouth cleansing, Dr. Knighton found in 210 “tests of chewing as a mouth and teeth cleansing method. The tests, made on 10 persons, started with eating a cake of yeast. At the end of the test, the number of yeast cells in a cubic centimeter of saliva were counted to measure the relative efficiency of the various cleansing methods.

BRUSHING THE TEETH for three minutes with tooth paste followed by rinsing with about five

Chewing gum showed to disadtage alongside the paraffin because it steadily decreased in bulk, shrinking to one-fourth its original size after a few minutes of chewing. Its efficiency rating as a mouth cleanser was 82.7 per cents Eating

five ounces of ripe banana rated 72.5 per cent. “The cleansing effects of chewing paraffin and gum may be due to the mechanical effect of friction and to increased salivation,” Dr. Knighton said. “The chewy candy bar made contact with a very large percentage of the surfaces of the mouth and was soluble enough to permit even dilution of samples one hour after it was consumed. The fact that loose yeast particles were well scattered over the mouth and not merely on the teeth probably accounts for the relative inefficiency of the tooth brush.”

RECOMMEND SUPER SUDS Here's How to Wash Rayons, Silks and Wool

NEW YORK, Nov. 3--Better Fabrics Testing Bureau, widely-known authorities on all textile and fuknie subjetta, my “Wash rayons, silks, and woolens in Super + Here are their expert instructions:

Test a small patch in plain water for color-fast ness. If color runs, it’s not washable, (Test woolens in soapy water.) w Wash garments separately, by hand. Use lukewarm suds as follows: Dissolve Super Bude completely in warm water, then add cold water to get lukewarm suds. Do not soak. Wash quickly and gently. Do not rub, wring or twist. Woolens especially shrink from

rubbing—a void any excessive handling while wet.

Roll in towel, but don’t leave there. Never dry woolens in excessive heat or direct rays of sun. Shape garment over ironing board before iron ing. Use a moderate tron. Certain types of weaves and prints should never be washed. Many makers guarantee washability. § Look for this when you buy.
