Laying Ghosts
THERE are some obstinate
ghosts which, like that of Ham
let's father, will not down, in
spite of all the weight of evidence
that further apprehension of them
is groundless. A modern specter
of this sort is the fear of canned
foods, a spirit which originally
(talked abroad because of some
imperfections in the early methods
of canning which have long since
been overcome. This fear still
persists, however, to some extent
in certain quarters in spite of the
billions of cans of food which are
sold and eaten every year.
This ghost takes the form of
fears that the process of canning
may destroy essential vitamins, or
that canned foods are in some way
less safe, wholesome and nourish
ing than fresh foods. It should
have been laid a long time ago,
if the consuming public has any
faith in our scientists. These
erudite -men arc the chief emu
lators of Hamlet when he urged
on his father: “Rest, rest, per
turbed spirit!” One of the most
recent attempts to lay this ghost
was made by no less an authority
than “Hygeia,*’ the popular health
magazine published by the Ameri
can Medical Association which is
always in the van and forefront
of every movement looking toward
the betterment of public health.
Canning Preserves Vitamins
An article by Dr. E. F. Kohman
in this publication states that re
cent rtjentific Investigation has
w? Hi
A^AMOU^ANNIVE^ARY
<J?*VERYBODY knows the his-
IjJtoric and rhythmic question and
C/ answer: “Who was George
Washington? First in war, first in
peace, first in the hearts of his
countrymen.” Our first President
was born in Westmoreland County,
Ma., February 22, 1732. He was the
son of Augustine Washington, a
planter, and of Mary Ball, bis sec
ond wife. His ancestors belonged
to an old English family, traceable
as far back as the thirteenth cen
tury.
Because he was first in so many
other ways in addition to being our
first President, the custom has
grown up of giving a patriotic din
ner on February twenty-second. The
decorations for such a feast should
naturally be patriotic red, white and
blue, and include the hatchets and
the cherry tree indissolubly connec
ted in our minds with the Father
of our Country. Place cards in the
form of hatchets can be bought at
a stationery store or else made from
mat stock.
Some Merry Games
good game to play before din
her in order to induce both gaiety
and appetite is called “blowing
cherries.” Stretch a string length
wise across the floor thus dividing
the room into two fields. No one
is allowed to cross this line or touch
the "cherry.” This giant cherry is
really a large red rubber inflated
balloon which is thrown to the ceil
ing and then kept aloft by blowing
against it. If it touches a player or
the floor, the other side wins the
contest, which may be renewed till
til are weak with laughter.
.feL&a pas:
shown that the loss of vitamins
during the cooking of foods is
really due largely to oxidation
(this means the act of uniting with
oxygen, a colorless, tasteless and
inodorous gaseous element exist
ing in large quantity in the air)
and that the heat of cooking
merely hastens the oxidation.
"In canning,” the article states,
"this oxidation is effectively avoid
ed, and hence commercially canned
foods have been found to be richer
in vitamins than home cooked
foods.”
The article then goes on to
compare the vitamin content of
canned products with that of raw
fruits and vegetables which have
been held in storage.
Canned Foods Hold Vitamins
“Raw fruits and vegetables,”
Dr. Kohman w'rites, “have been
found to lose their vitamins on
storage. Peas held in the pods
for six days in a cool place, al
though still excellent in appear
ance. had lost some of their
vitamin content. Apples held in
storage from October to April and
May—a normal period for the va
riety used —lost half their Vitamin
C. Apples canned in October
from the same lot still had their
original vitamin content eight
months later when tested.
“Canned tomatoes and canned
spinach have been tested three
years after canning and no evi
dence was found that the storage
is known as "Crossing the Dela
ware.” Half the guests group them
selves at one side of the room as
Washington's soldiers, and the rest
place themselves unevenly about the
room and play the parts of cakes
of ice. The soldiers must cross the
Delaware by winding their way
through the cakes of ice without
laughing, and the ice cakes, too,
must maintain frozen faces. The
soldiers attempt to cross one at a
time. Any soldier who laughs be
comes a cake of ice and must stand
still in the "stream,” and any ice
cake who laughs loses its identity
and becomes a soldier.
The Dinner
For the feast after this frolic we
are suggesting the following menu
which can easily be varied accord
ing to your local products and needs.
Red Caviar Canapes
Cream ConsointHe -Mth
Toast Blockade
Chicken Salad in Tents
Midget Pickles
Hot Light Rolls
Pears Pa'ley Forge
Red Cinnamon Patties
Dates Stuffed with Cherry Fondant
Coffee
Here are the recipes for this col
orful and historically suggestive
dinner. They are calculated to
serve six persons each, but you can
multiply the amounts to serve
twelve, eighteen, twenty-four or
any other multiple of six.
Red Caviar Canapes'. Remove
caviar from can to strainer and pour
over hot water to remove some of
the oil Cut bread in one-fourth
jneb slices, and shape with a cir-
of canned foods results in any
appreciable loss of vitamins. In
fact, the canned tomatoes after
three years were as rich in vita
mins as raw tomatoes. Hence
the tomatoes lost no appreciable
amount of their vitamins either on
canning or subsequent storage.
Canned strawberries were tested
sixteen months after canning and
found equal in vitamin content to
raw strawberries purchased daily
off the New York markets when
this fruit was in season.”
"Sound, Wholesome and Safe”
The best answer to the other
apprehensions caused by this so
lar unlaid ghost is contained in
the recent report of the Commit
tee on Fruits, Vegetables and their
Products, of the American Public
Health Association.
"Canned foods,” it said, “are
cooked in hermetically sealed con
tainers which prevent recontami
nation until opened. The nutritive
and calorific values of the same
fruit or vegetable, fresh or canned,
are essentially the same.
“Canned foods, whether pre
pared in the home or in commer
cial canneries, ^regardless of the
type of container, are sound,
wholesome and safe. Their con
tinued use is commended. The
advantages to the American health
from the use of canned foods in
the diet can hardly be overesti
mated. . . . The nation may have
faith in its canned foods.”*

Hints For Homemakers
By Jane Rogers
r‘ your food chopper needs sharp
ening, run a piece of sandsoap
through it, just as though the soap
were food. It will both sharpen the
cutters and remove any grease
that may be on them. Rinse
thoroughly in boiling water.
Tea biscuits sometimes turn out
paler than they should. A teaspoon
ot sugar added to the recipe will
help to give them the golden glow
that adds so much to their appetite
appeal. Tart shells, pie crusts, and
rolls gain greatly in appearance if
a little sugar syrup is brushed over
them just before they are taken
from the oven.
