Why Iced Tea Gets ‘Cloudy’
“Why 8 the iced tea I make | cloudy instead of ‘ clear?” housewives often ask the U. 8. agriculture department in summey. “Probably because you make 1 too strong.” cookery scientists say They explain that when tea is hot, its tannin is in solution, but chilling makes the tannin less soluble so that some of it “precipitates,” as the chemists say, causing the cloudy | appearance, In weaker tea there is less tannin | to show up in clouding. Lemon] helps clearness because the acid] helps keep the tannin soluble, | Powdered sugar used for sweet-| ening may cloud tea because it con-| tains starch. A sugar and water| girup is a better sweetener for iced tea than sugar of any kind. Sugar dissolves slowly in a cold quid. But in sirup the sugar already is in solution and thus combines rapidly with the cold tea, sweetening it more evenly and economically,

Moreover, the old southern practice of serving “pot liquor” as well as the greens insures againgt loss of soluble nutrients.
| Opinions have differed as to
the way greens are cooked in the South and the need for improvement in the light of modern nutrition knowledge, The first definite information now comes from Dorothy Dickins of the Mississippl experiment station as the result of a recent survey. .Dr. Dickins kept records of the preparation of leafy green vege-. tables by 844 representative white and Negro families in six small towns in Mississippi, The records show that house~ wives used 10 different greens, mostly home produced-beet tops, new cabbage, chard, collards, kale, leaf lettuce, mustard greens, rape, spinach and turnip greens, What Dr. Dickins learned about
% cooking methods and her ap- ! t | praisal of them should be helpful
to women not only in Mississippi but throughout the country:
” rr ~ SOAKING. Only about 10 per cent of the greens used by’ these families were soaked before cook-
| ing, and these were maestly ceb-
bage and ’collards. Dr, Dickins comments that recent investiga- -
tions show Joss of vitamins in soaking to be small, Even so, soaking is useless except to
freshen wilted greens, and freshening this way does not restore
lost vitamin C.
” y HOT OR ‘corp START. The majority of women started greens in boiling water with a little partiy-cooked salt pork. Collards and turnips were the greens most often started In cold water, A start Is 8 mended for all greens to shorten
| cooking time and save vitamins.
” ” . SALT. The women were about equally divided between those who added salt at the begining, during and after cooking. Adding salt at the beginning is recommended because it helps preserve vitamin C and color, and improves flavor,

greens In water containing bak- | ing soda or adding soda during |
cooking was rarely practiced by white housewives but was fairly common among Negro housewives, A very small amount can be used without vitamin loss if the greens are not overcooked, but the tendency is to use too much.
» » ” PARBOILING. Only about 14 |
per cent of the women parboiled greens—that is; brought them to a boll, drained and then boiled again. This old practice, which is wasteful of both nutrients and time, was used mostly for the stronger-flavored greens -- cabbage, turnip and mustard greens.
» ~ » WATER. Most housewives reported starting greens in very little watér and adding more as needed, as nutritionists today advise. Most reported that they either had no pot liquor or that Only 10 per cent sald they discarded it.
” » ~ COVER. Cooking in a covered kettle was reported for most greens except cabbage. Covering all vegetables is recommended to bring them to a boil more quickly and save vitamin C and fuel. . ” ” , COOKING TIME. The most common fault Dr. Dickins reported was overcooking greens, Cabbage, collards, kale, mustard, rape and turnip greens were most often overcooked. Spinach, chard and beet tops fared best in this. respect. Many housewives also made the mistake of letting cooked greens stand on the stove sometime before serv ing. Cooking until just tender and serving promptly is recommended.

Top Food Value In Inexpensive
Cuts of Meat
Flavor Often Equals Nourishing Quality A BKIMPY BUDGET does not mean poor food—or it shouldn't, Even if high-priced cuts of meat seldom reach the family table, a family can enjoy wholesome and nourishing food, nevertheless. Many inexpensive cuts of meat should be made use of, says the home, econ omist of the Salvation Army's family service bureau. Many of these cuts are not used generally because of unfamiliarity with their rich contribution in nourishing value and their delicious, often delicate, flavor.

Put away in a cool, dry place— and promptly, This is an important rule for keeping home-canned food as well as jellies and jams in best condition. If these foods are allowed to stand around in the hot moist air of the kitchen, they lose quality and may not keep well In the heat colors fade, and flavor and texture deteriorate. Also paraffin seals on Jelly glasses may loosen. In dampness tin cans and metal tops of glass may corrode and eventually cause leakage. Cool, dry storage is needed also for best keeping of commercially canned goods. These products often deteriorate if left on upper shelves -in the kitchen where they

Fully Ripe Bananas Make Best Eating—
Whenever you use bananas “as

room temperature until the brown flecks appear on the yellow peel, indicating full ripeness, Don’t put bananas into the re-
