Blit we should learn how to get :the moat nwtritioii value for our ,food dollar. So do remember the import- ant helms are milk, whole -grain cer- `'eals, vegetables and fruits in season, and protein foods such as eggs, fish, meat and poultry. Rich desserts and Imported foods are "non-essentials"— and moreover are expensive. While tea and coffee are rationed, it's good to know that tomato bouillon or milk Contain mgrs° nutrition. We think–you'll be surprised new even a little food wasted now and then: mounts up in a month. Waste of your money, too! If the grocer sends an apple with a" spot on it, we notice dt right away. But are we as careful to save food in our homes? " One good way to prevent spoilage— and get :better nutrition—is to make the most of foods while they are still fresh. Of 'course, everyone has special tricks with left -overs but now we need to be on the lookout for new ideas on how to use up our "bits and piec- es" if we are to make full use of our food dollars. TAKE A TIP: Food Storage Keep your eggs in the refrigerator or some other cold place, taking them out only as needed: Never wash eggs before storing as this destroys the. "bloom" that keeps out air and odours. If soiled, wipe with, rough, dry cloth before put= ting. away. Wash poultry thoroughly, inside and out, but never soak in water, Pat dry and store, loosely wrapped in wax paper. Keep chilled. Poul- try liver, heart and giblets should not be, stored before being cooked. You don't throw them away, do you? And chicken feet make real good broth—scald, skin and sim- mer in salted water. Raw fish and meat need to be stor- ed below freezing unit of refrigera- tor or in the coldest place You have. Wipe off; do not wash. Be extra. careful of ground raw 2.

Be sure to cover then before putting away. Do not slice ,or chop cooked meat until just be- fore using—cut meat spoils more quickly.

Moderate . Temperatures Theories on roasting meats, have undergone a complete change in re- cent years. A low or moderate tem perature throughout the entire cook- ing period has been found to yield juicier, more .tender roasts that go farther because they shink less .dur- ing cooking. The Consumer Section" of the De- partment of Agriculture gives these dules for better roasts. Meat should be removed from its wrappings as soon as received and b& stored in a covered dish in the colder,& part of the refrigerator. 'Meat shouldnever be washed but only wiped with a damp cloth. An' uncovered pan should be used 'for roasting and no water should be added during cooking. Basting two or three times during cookiug is. "must" for poultry and optional for other meats. A moderate temperature should be used throughout the cooking period varying from 300-350 deg. F.
