omemaking— Potato or Tomato Salads Are Welcome at Parties
9, 1918
IN WARTIME, as in times of peace, a platter of cold cuts is a good solution to the entertaining problem. Sliced thin and served with a
‘hearty salad, ready-to-serve meats your ration points.
But since they require no preparation, the housewife should employ her imagination in salad-making when she plans such_a supper for
guests, Potato salad, a natural with cold cuts, has many delightful variations. One of these, sour cream ‘potato salad, combines . potatoes with diced cucumbers, hard-cooked egg, minced onion, celery seed and seasoning, with a fluffy dressing made of sour cream and mayonnaise, vinegar and mustard. Cubed tomato salad, as colorful and attractive as it is refreshing and tasty, makes an ideal companfon, particularly with spicier cold cuts. Allowing one cubed medium tomato per portion, tomato pieces are placed in lettuce cups on individual plates and topped with a vegetable mixture of chopped celery and onion, and diced, cucumber, blended with a tart ‘French dressing. : { ” ” 8

YOU MIGHT NOT think of biscuits as being unpatriotic—unless they were leaden blobs of dough capable of sabotaging warworkers’ efficiency. However, Dr. Russel M. Wilder, chief of the civilian requirements division, food distribution administration, says that all biscuits are unpatriotic because fats are so direly needed for explosives; therefore we should stick to breads requiring less shortening. For lovers of hot breads and home-made pies, the bureau of human nutrition and home .economics, department of agriculture, is perfecting fat-saving recipes, including a patriotic pie crust and biscuits wartime style. To prove what they can do to save fats and at the same time feed the nation, the baking industry has an- . nounced that at least 20 per cent more bakery goods are being produced this year with the same amount of shortening as used las year. . » » o On the other hand, the millers of the cquntry are pointing with alarm to the drop in home baking
since rationing of fats began. Sales of family-type flour have dropped 30 per cent since rationing, according to the department of agriculture. Some flour distributors report a drop of 60 per cent in certain areas and an overall drop of 45 per cent. During the last war, all baked goods had to contain 20 per cent other than wheat flour, But. this time the government is urging civilians to use more wheat products, especially wholegrain flours and cereals, because of their high food value and abundance, Millers, shortening and baking powder manufacturers are trying to convince Washington that the ration-

in home baking. The time required for more than 18,000,000 victory gardens, for home canning and for volunteer defense work is one
: reason. The increasing number of
women employed in war industries is another. The rationing of cooking fuel in some areas affects
home baking, too.
Have a look—and perhaps a nostalgic sniff—at a vanishing household art. It seems that almost nobody bakes bread at home these days. In addition, home-made pastries have fallen off so sharply that millers are selling from 30 to 45 per cent less flour. The critical scarcity of fats is responsible, for there’s plenty of wheat.
ing of fats has cut drastically into the use of our non-rationed wheat surplus. They regard the drop in home baking as a national emergency. ” ” EJ AS A QUICK solution, the flour milling’ industry wants shortening unit certificates packed with famfly flour. They suggest that the rate should be one unit for five pounds of family flour, two units for 10 pounds, six units for 25 pounds. A unit certificate would get %-pound of shortening. While some interests are battling for a more liberal rationing

of fats in order to increase consumption of our surplus wheat, commercial bakers, many food experts and government officials responsible for our war economy say - it isn’t necessary. Home-made biscuits and. cake may have gone into a slump for the duration, but commercial bakers are supplying enough baked goods to make up the loss and no one need worry about using our wheat surplus, according to Peter G. Pirrie, ‘editor of the influential Bakers’ Weekly, The rationing of shortening is not the only cause of the decrease

» ” FJ THE OPA REPORTS that since 1934 there has been a definite trend toward increased commercial baking and a dropping off in home baking. While there has been a further decrease in flour consumption since rationing, OPA figures at the moment do not indicate a serious condition. For women who still have an inflexible prejudice against “store cake,” home economists are suggesting ways to make shortening go further and how to use home fats in baking to ease the strain on the red ration points needed for commercial shortening, Bacon drippings and chicken fat produce good results in cakes, breads and biscuits with high flavors, and chicken fat can be used in pie crust and biscuits. Sales of baking mixes have increased greatly since rationing. These are combinations of fat and flour and other ingredients, ready to mix up and bake at home in double quick time. The war food administration and OPA have made available to manufacturers of those baking mixes, as well as to commercial bakeries, fats and oils in amounts which approximate 100 per cent of 1942 use. Commercial bakers are studying ways to make their allotment of fat (100 per cent of the same period in 1942) go further. Not only can they sell all the bread and cake they can make, but the demand for cake in defense areas has jumped 25 per cent. This spectacular increase is due to the popularity of cake in war workers’ lunch boxes. .

She went to school with a girl who is wild and who goes out with four or five boys at a time. She runs off from home and has dates with soldiers and sailors.

Farm Women
LONDON, June 9 (U. P.). — The war role of farm women was commended today. by Queen Elizabeth at a conference of the National Federation of Women’s Institutes. “I am: particularly glad to be able to say a few words of appreciation and thanks for the magnificent contribution made by the woinen’s institutes to the winning of the war,” she said. ‘ She said the place of England’s country women is more important than ever before, adding “It is they who must care for the workers who are growing our food . , . bring up their children to love and defend those values for which we are fighting. “When we have won through, a great page in the history of Britain’s war effort should be devoted to the country women of this dear land of ours, who tackled their jobs quietly and with real efficiency.”

‘Keep Fighting Against the Fly Menace’
By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer
KEEP UP THE fight against flies in your home, your restaurant or cafeteria, your food stores. They are a real menace to health. The list of diseases they can spread includes food poisoning and typhoid
that they may play a part in spreading infantile paralysis.Although this last has not yet been proved, the mere : suggestion is good reason for continuing to swat the fly and to fight him by
mosquito netting over baby’s carriage or bed, anti-fly sprays and the like. » » ” ONE WAY IN which flies spread disease is by carrying the germs on their feet. In the case of food poisoning it has been found that
the flies themselves can become infected by feeding on food containing the same kind of germs that make people sick with this unpleasant ailment commonly called ptomaine poisoning. Infected flies can pass the infection -or. germs on to other flies as well as to food and water with which they come in contact. Once infected, the fly is. infected for the rest of his life and passes the infection on to the next generation of flies. Infected flies can also infect mice, which in turn can infect other flies. This all points to a serious danger to humans who eat food prepared or served. in such a way that flies can’ get at it, particularly if there are. mice about as is frequently the case both in commercial establishments and private homes. Food poisoning is rarely a fatal disease, but it is unpleasant and debilitating and a cause of lost time
trying to avoid.

anything that contributes to con. tented workers makes better workers. In plant after plant it has been found that a rest-pause breaks monotony, lessens tiredness and tension.
When you add refreshment to a rest-pause, you not only have a pause that rests, but refreshes, too. A moment for ice-cold Coca-Cola makes a rest-pause take on more meaning . . . promoting contentment that leads to more work and better work. Yes, contentment comes when you connect with a Coke.
Close work brings the need to pause. Ice-cold
