ne i} There Is Danger of Food Poisoning

C——

In Re-Canning Commercial Products:

. THE DANGER OF FOOD POISONING which may result from transferring commercially canned foods into glass jars was pointed out Fecently by the department of agriculture. The warning came from Dr. Russell M. Wilder, physician and nutritionist who is chief of the civilian food requirements branch of the food. distribution administration, after receipts of reports indicating that

- DEAR JANE JORDAN—Maybe you wouldn't be so astonished at the protests of women whose husbands ride to work with women in defense factories if you would investigate the type of women that work in them. : Practically 80 per cent of them are looking for victims. That's why they choose to work among a large crowd of men. My husband works at a defense plant and a large percentage of the women who work there are just plain no good. How do you. think this makes a wife feel? _ I have waited at the gates for my “husband and watched their actions "and the way they dress. My husband tells me about this man and + that who is married and dates these women. Some men lose jobs because of it and some men lose their “Wives. : : Now how is this helping the morale of the people? I say the reputation of these women should

be investigated before placing them]

in the factories, or they should be Isolated as a plague to work only among themselves. I know men should have stronger characters but. how many have, especi when subjected to temp‘tation day after day? DAISY. o ”n ” Answer—I still say that faithful husbands are those who are satisfied at home. They are men whose wives are confident of their own personal worth and not torn and bitten by jealousy every time their husbands rub elbows with unscrupulous women. If you think such women are confined to defense plants you are wrong about it. You find them in all walks of “life, at home or in business. “ Narrow-minded. women who be“lieve ‘that the way to keep a hus“band is to build a fence around him or to put blinders on his eyes are attacking the problem from the wrong point of view. “In wartime we need every hand and head that can produce materials necessary for victory. It is no “time to exclude any person who can “work from the factories, regardless of his personal morals. It is a time “to lay aside petty jealousies and fears and pull together against a common enemy, far more menacing than silly girls in search of victims. “You can fight the girls with’ emo-' stional weapens but you can't ‘lick Germany and Japan without ammunition. : Your idea of isolating all women whom you fear may be more at- - fractive than jealous wives would “be a great help to the men. Then “they would know exactly where to ook for them. The girls would en“Joy being labeled as irresistible to “men. How popular the pest house “would bel! : JANE JORDAN

some housewives were buying commercially canned products in quantity—or using stocks already on hand—opening the cans and putting the contents into glass jars. Home canned foods do not have to be reported next week when ration book 2 is obtained and some hoarders were reported to be taking this means of inisrepresenting commercially canned products. “Most foods that are removed from cans must be reprocessed before they can be preserved in glass Jars, just as if they had never been canned,” Dr. Wilder explained.

Decreases Food Value

“REPROCESSING, however, is unsatisfactory for housewives to undertake, and may be dangerous. Not only .does the product become a soupy mass with decreased food value, but it may be unsafe to eat. “It is therefore wasteful of food and food values, as well as dangerous, and is contrary to the intent of the rationing program which is contributing to the winning o the war,” he -said. : Home-canned products were exempted from the rationing regulations to encourage an increase in home production of preserved foods and thereby celieve the strain on the reduced suppiy of commercially canned products.

HOME FRONT FORECAST

By ANN FRANCE WILSON Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—In spite of heavy demands for shoe leathers and the rubber shortage, there is no scarcity of materials for shoe repair, no need for you to collect all the old shoes out of your closet or attic and rush down to the shoe repair shop with them. The present favorable, ample supply of shoe repair materials is entirely dependent on your restraint. If you start a run

in mind about the shoe rationing order is you the availability of one pair of new shoes in the next four months in exchange for stamp 17 in your war ration book 1, it

In other words, shoe rations may be liberalized or further restricted after June 15, depending on what the leather and rubber If shoe materials supplies are tight and shoe production facilities overtaxed, the ration may be reduced to one pair of new shoes in the ensuing five or six months. If shoe supplies are’ ample, ration may be liberalized to one pair of new shoes every three months. this is, “Take good care of the shoes you have.” guarantee you'll get three pairs of new shoes in the next year.

REAL REASON FOR the shoe rationing order is that people were buying more new shoes than they had at any time before. - With wages and family income up, there has been more money to spend’ and people have been spending a part of it for more Rationing was the answer to prevent a run on shoes and exhaustion of current stocks, now said to be ample for five months’ normal demand. Accompanying this shoe. inflation, the armed services’ demand for shoes is taking practically all of the five top grades of sole leather, and a real shortage of sole leather was gradually developing, though the armed services have been getting only about one out of every 10 pairs of shoes manufactured.

on shoe repairs, the supply may not be adequate and repairs might have to be rationed. OPA rationing officials are reluctant to discuss this, for every time an announcement is made that .there is an ample supply of any commodity, people don’t believe it and contrariwise, buy all the more. But again, OPA emphasizes there is no shortage of repair materials. Your motto should be, “Don’t have shoes repaired unless and until you need them.” Important point to bear that while it guarantees

Beauty— Keep Beauty ‘Tools’ Clean

By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer A TRUISM of the workroom which is worth taking home from the war plant, or borrowing if you do not work outside of home, is: “A

Keeping your toilet articles clean, keeping supplied with essentials, and keeping them in order; will save you many minutes between alarm clock and departure to the day’s activities, You should have an efficient beauty retreat at home. It can be a frilly and flattering dressing room

fers the constant suggestion to keep scrubbed and well groomed. Throwing away old, never-used beauty aids may start you on the path of orderliness. A good, efficient beauty spot, like a neat medicine cabinet or clothes closet, contains only articles which are in service. Others clutter and encourage carelessness.

IT IS MUCH easier to keep a comb clean than to let it go till it is so soiled that cleaning is a job. Swish yours through a bowl of warm water containing some borax every few days. Powder puffs should be cleaned as often, and as thoroughly. If you use one made of cotton or wool, wash it in warm suds, press in a towel, and dry in sunshine. Better, if you can afford it, use thin puffs which come a dozen or so in a package, and dispose of them when they're soiled. Cleansing tissues are as useful for the toilet shelf as paper towels are in the kitchen. Use them to clean lipsticks often. If you have lipstick brushes, you probably realize they're precious nowadays, and should be kept in perfect condition. These, and eyelash and eyebrow brushes, clean easily. Just hold them under the hot water spigot, then dry

Secretary of War OK’s Ordnance Workers’ Headgear.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 (U. P.). —The WOWSs don’t have uniforms . like their sister WAACs, WAVES and SPARS, but they are going to have a bandanna. Even Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson took time out recently to approve the design which, according to an order by the adjutant general, shail be: “The ordnance department insignia of a shell and flame ., . . scattered or ‘tossed about’ in the ‘WOW bandanna’ without following any regular arrangement.” WOW means “women ordnance workers.” The war department said WOWSs would not be required to purchase or wear one of the bandannas. The order also emphasized that ‘the ordnance department insignia should not be presented in parallel rows and that the number of insignia used in each bandanna should be in the following proportion: From 95 to 115 for each square yard of cloth.

Citizens are being asked by the committee to take bundles of wearable clothing for the Russians to one of the depots this week. - Bishop R. A. Kirchhoffer, chairman for the committee, said “It is the duty of every person in Indianapolis to do this small thing to show his appreciation to the fighting Russians.
