Tests show that many processed potato products are cheaper than homemade; all processed orange juice (frozen, canned or bottled) is cheaper than fresh; and many canned processed berries and fruits arc less costly than home processed items. Also, canned frozen peas, cut corn, and spinach are less expensive than their home prepared counterparts. However, cheese foods in aerosol cans are three times as costly as regular cheese, and "cholesterol free" egg pro ducts are twice as expensive as scram bled eggs. Generally, foods cheaper to prepare at home than to buy include all meat dishes, frozen and chilled baked goods and desserts, pizza, rice dishes, soups, and baby foods. N.ft. Fremont, 288 6307. 2.

Tin story Bufoni Pussor wantod toH~ Ì A BCP Production by Cal R. Williams If the family’s linens and clothing come out of the tub looking dingy, give them special treatment to restore their original color, then use proper laundering tech niques to keep them that way. Discoloration may be caused by left-in soil and body oils, the nature ol the fiber, the effect of chlorine bleach on certain finishes, or minerals in the wash water. Some fibers, such as polyesters, have a tendency to yellow due to a natural af finity for oils. So wash them frequently. Pretreat stains and soil lines on collors and ruffs by dampening the area and rubbing in a liquid detergent or paste of detergent and water. If necessary, use a packaged home dye color remover. Nylon fibers tend to pick up soil and certain dyes from the wash water. Wash white nylong garments only with other white items. Wash colored nylon gar ments separately. While chlorine bleach is helpful in re moving some stains, it should not be used indiscriminately. Bleach should never be used if the discolored garment contains any silk, wool, or spandex fibers. Some permanent press finishes turn yellow as a result of bleaching. If you are in doubt about the safeness of bleach for particular fabric, mix one tablespoon of chlorine bleach and one fourth cup of water. Dab a small amount of bleach mixture on a seam or inconspi cuous hem area. If there is no observalbe color change, the garm ent may be bleached. Follow the dilution instruc tions on the container. Oxygen bleaches are generally safe for washable garments and do not yellow man made fibers or permanent press fi nishes. The oxygen bleaches contain per borate or potassium m onopersulfate. Used regularly, they maintain whiteness; however, they are most effective at high temperatures which are not recommend ed for some man-made fibers Iron or manganese in the water supply may cause brown or yellow stains on laundered articles. If either of these minerals is present, do not use chlorine bleach. It will cause staining on the fa brics. Commercial rust removers that can be used on fabrics are available in some supermarkets. Follow the stain removal treatment with a thorough laundering. If your water supply contains iron, use a non precipitating w ater conditioner (such as Calgon, W hite King, Spring Rain) that will help hold the iron in sus pension. It is easier to keep white clothing white or colored clothing bright them it is to restore dingy clothing. The first guide for laundering is to sort carefully. Begin by sorting the garments according to white, colorfast, or noncolorfast. Then further divide each group according to fiber such as white cotton and linen, white man made fibers and permanent press, and white delicate fabrics. Do the same with colorfast. The noncolorfast garments should be grouped according to colors. Clothing which is extremely soil ed shoud be pretreated and washed sep arately. Avoid overloading the washer be sure that articles can move about freely. The amount of detergent required de ponds on the type of washer (top or front loading), the hardness of the water, and the degree of soil on the clothing. If the water is hard or if the clothing is heavily soiled, increase the amount of detergent. Thorough rinsing is also necessary to prevent dinginess. If additional deter gent was used, additional rinsings or another complete wash-rinse cycle with only a non precipitating water condition er will help maintain and restore the original appearance.
