Whole-Meal Beef Dish Now Comes In a Can to the Housewife; It’s Another Time-Saver

{happens to the foods when they are consumed. Certain foods, such as vegetables or fruits, when burned Inside or outside the body leave an ash or residue in which the basic elements predominate, If you remember your high school chemistry, you

remember that sodium is the basic

element in common salt, or sodium chloride, while chlorine is an acidforming element, x = = OTHER basic elements are potas~ sium, « calcium and magnesium. Meats, cereals and fish leave an ash when burned in which the acidforming elements such as chlorine, phosphorus and sulfur predominate. Sulfur is present in foods chiefly in a neutral form, as in sulfwrcontaining amino acids, the chery cal building blocks of protein. But this sulfur is oxidized, or burned, in the body to form sulfuric acid. Foods that are high in protein content are therefore. generally acidforming. > » . » THE CITRUS fruits — oranges, and lemons — contain citric acid and acid potassium eitrate. But when these are burned in the body, the citrate is changed to carbonic acid which is a weak acid. Potassium, a basi¢ element, is left behind. Unlike fruits in general, prunes and cranberrigs are acid-forming. This is because they contain benzoig acid and quinic acid, which burns te form benzoic acid. This

last is excreted chiefly as hippuric §

acid. ®

Are your towels as clear-clean as
