COOL THAT BATTERYI
NEW YORK-im Hearing al
batteries should be kept in the
refrigerator. That is the caution
from one of the country's biggest
dry cell battery makers. Winter
or summer, when not in use, sur
plus dry cell "A" batteries for
hearing aids will last longer
when kept at about the 45 de
gree Fahrenheit temperature of
the average refrigerator, accord
ing to W. S. Allen, general man
ager of the electrical division of
Olin Industries, Inc.
The batteries should also be
kept in a tightly sealed glass con
tainer which will reduce humid
ity, he said. It is a good idea to
let a i battery rest from two to
three times longer than it is used.
It has the power to recuperate.
A full day's use is the maximum
for any "A" battery to be used
without rotation, Mr. Allen said.

Food Takes About Third Of Family's
Weekly Income, Govt. Survey Shows
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON Twenty-four cents of the family food dollar Is
spent for meat, an additional six cents for fish and poultry; seven
cents for fats and oils, says a Department of Agriculture survey
of how city families eat. Food
family's weekly Income. The survey was made in 68 cities by the
Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics in the spring
of 1948 and has just been made public.
Bureau officials tell me the
1948 estimates remain about the
same for loday. Results of addi
tional studies on expenditures for
vegetables, grain, poultry and
eggs will be announced In forth
coming . weeks. More beef H
bought by city housewives than
any other meat with pork a close
second. Bacon is more widely
used than any other single meat
cut. The bureau says mat iami
lies with low incomes bring homo
just about as much bacon as
families with high incomes even
though it Is a comparatively ex
pensive meat. Of the beef pro
ducts, ground beef is the most
popular with the families sur
veyed. As Incomes rise to $4,000
a year, families use more of it.
Over $4,000 a year families use
Iras. The steak-and-roast eating
families naturally are those in
the higher income brackets with
the ovar $4.000year families eat
ing twice as much of the expen
sive cuts as those with incomes
under $1,000.
Fats and Oils Surveyed
Poultry chiefly chicken is
used most widely by city fami
lies, next to beef and pork, wi'h
luncheon meats ranking next.
The survey revealed that fish,
lamb and veal are purchased less
frequently by the city housewife.
The fats and oils survey shows
that four tenths of a pound of
table fats are consumed per per-
Various Sizes
Itself takes about one third of the
son weekly. The seven cents, the
bureau tells me, Is spent only
on fats and oils entering the kit
chen as such, and does not cover
the invisible fats contained In
bread .and other items.
Most of this amount is spent
for butter, about 2.9 cents out of
the seven. One and one tenth
cents is spent for margarine, .5
for lard, .9 for vegetable short
ening and vegetable compounds
and 1.4 for oils, mayonnaise and
salad dressings. Southern fami
ly households use most fats and
oils, with Birmingham leading in
the greatest use of shortening.
Minneapolis leadj In the use of
butter, using about 3 1-2 times
as much as Birmingham fami
lies. COLBWKVt

Sharp Increases In Coffee
Prices. Lower Quotations On
Eggs Top Week's Food News
By th Associated Preis .. .
Sharply rising coffee prices and skidding quotations for best grade
eggs topped the consumer food news this week as meat prices con
tinued irregular and most produce Items held about steady. ,.
Coffee was up five cents a pound or more in many markets as big
roasting concerns and retailers were forced to meet higher prices
for imported coffee beans. The green beans which roasters could
buy at around 26 cents a pound early last spring were hard to find
at 4(5 cents this week. . , .... . ,. ..... , ;' ' .'
During the 1930s the world sup
ply of coffee greatly exceeded
the demand and prices fell so
low that many plantations were
abandoned. But then consump
tion started increasing sharply,
and traders say this year world
demand Is about equal to maxi
mum potential production.
Production of the quality coffee
used in this country actually has
been below consumption recent
ly, with the difference being
made up from accumulated
stocks. Those stocks now are
largely exhausted, lnis years
crop was disappointing, anu
drought and other unfavorable
weather conditions during the
flowering season of the new Bra
zilian crop, to be harvested next
summer, have dlmmeH the out
look for next year. Aggravating
the situation were recent floods
in Guatemala, a hurricane In
Haiti and political disturbances
In Colombia all of which put
more pressure on the prospec
tive supply of coffee.
Allocation Starts
Roasters this week started al
locating coffee supplies to their
store customers not because of
any present shortage but because
it was feared that coffee hoard
ers would start "runs" and ex
haust the normally-adequate
stocks, thereby driving prices
even higher.
Suppliers also were worried
about the shortage of tinplate for
cans. Some can-makers warned
that If the steel strike continues,
container requirements cannot
be guaranteed beyond the next
two or three weeks.
Large grade "A" eggs drop
ned as much as 16 cents a dozen
wholesale In some places during
the past eight days, and by mid
week some highly competitive
store chains had slashed retail
nrlces ud to 10 cents or more a
dozen. More retail cuts were ex
pected later this week.
Traders said greater receipts
from producers largely respons
ible, but they also credited con
sumer resistance to the recent
high prices of large eggs com
pared with medium-sized and
pullet eggs. Production was in
creasing seasonally and commer
cial buying for storage purposes
was slow.
Medium-sized and small eggs
showed little chance this week.
They already were abundant and
modestly-priced compared witn
the large variety.
Top Beef Costs More
On the meat counters, several
choice beef cuts were two to four
cents a pound higher this week,
reflecting near-record high quo
