In Canada these questions are not difficult for the enlightened home- maker, She buys by brand, usually; failing that, she buys by quality. But, ! you say, how does she know the quality? Canned goods all have at- tractive labels: how is one to distin- guish them? Quality Differences Well, come with me to the super- market. Suppose we took at these cans of peaches, Here is one marked "Fancy Quality", the next, less expen- : sive, is marked "Choice Quality," the I third, lower still in price,. "Standard ' Quality." I Perhaps you do not know the mean- ing of these terms, They are care- ! fully defined in the "Regulations for processed Fruits and Vegetables" is- 'sued by the Canadian Department of !Agriculture. "Fancy" quality peaches for ex- ample, shall be 'prepared from sound, clean, ripe, firm peaches, free from blemishes, worms, skins and pits; when processed, the fruit shall be nat- ural colour, and 85 per cent uniform in size, color and maturity and with- out excessive ragged edges or centers; the sirup shall be clear; no peaches less than two inches in diameter shall be used." Such fruit is most suitable for salads and heavy desserts where perfect appearance is desired. "Choice" quality peaches are not quite so perfect, they may be smaller than two inches in diameter, may be a little ragged, and need not be so uniform in appearance. However, they look very attractive, and one would not hesitate to serve them just as they come from the can. collars press from each corner towards the back of the collar to eliminate those undesirable wrin- kles which persist in crinkling the front egdes. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. R. K. asks: What kind of cleanser can I use on plastic dishes? Answer: Cleansing chemicals de- stroy the finish of plastic. Use soap and water only. Miss H. C. asks: How do you take care of a wooden salad bowl and the spoon and fork? Answer: Wipe out with a waxed paper after each use, then with a damp cloth. Never immerse In water or soak. Keep away from heat and do not keep in the refrigerator for more than an hour at any time. If roughened smooth with sandpaper, never varnish or paint them. * * * Anne Allan invites you to write to her in care of this paper, Send in your suggestions on homemaking problems and watch this column for replies, Wool Wanted All Wool shipped to JACKSON 'S is Graded in Seaforth and full settlement made hy them.

She has a ready guide to the quality she wants for a particular purpose. It also simplifies the comparing of prices of different brands. Of course, she will find that some brands are superior to others bearing the same quality designations; but the fact that the quality is declared on the label and is therefore between the limits established by the government regu- lation means protection to the con- sumer. The significance of quality grades was demonstrated in an educational exhibit last November at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, Sponsored by the Department of Agriculture, it en- abled the public to see, first hand, samples of peaches, beans and other products in each of the three grades, Development of Labelling Grade-labelling has developed grad- ually, growing along with the canning industry. Although Canada has had a Pure Food Law since 1875, further legislation was found necessary for the protection of packers and con- sumers alike. Reputable canners therefore welcomed the Meat and Canned Foods Act of 1907 as a protec- tion from the practices of unscrupu- lous packers and as a means of rais- ing the standards of cleanliness and quality in all canned foods, thus help- ing the whole industry. The act ensured sanitary conditions in canneries, restricted the use of pre- servatives and coloring matter, and insisted that foods "shall be sound, wholesome and in every way fit for food," Standardization Required One requirement of the regulations was that the label should carry "a true and correct description of the contents of the package." It was not long before the need to standardize such descriptions became evident.
