With railm ad- ing's monumental problem brought to a head, labor’s protests became secondary to an investigation of why one-third of U. S. railroads are in receivership, why another third borders on bankruptcy. When committeemen finish their inquiry, unions must wait another 30 days before striking. Chief hope is that a solution of railroad financial difficulties w ill obviate a strike by that time, with congressional aid following close behind. Foreign Since early August, when Czecho slovakia's Sudeten area first began attracting Reichsfuehrer Adolf H it ler’s serious attention, Italy's Pre m ier Benito Mussolini has been out in the cold. While Germany's chan cellor talked with British Prim e Minister Neville Chamberlain, while the world read about French P re m ier Edouard Daladier and Czech President Eduard Benes, Adolf H itle r’s friend in Rome was asked not once for his opinion. But he gave it nevertheless, thundering six speeches of defiance at western democracies in as many days. Another rebuff came when Frank White House lin Roosevelt drafted his first note “T h u country can best be served by to Germany and Czechoslovakia pulling in positions of influence m rn who fSee WHITE HOI'SEI, sending copies believe in peace and uh o w ill resist this to Britain and France, but not to adm inistration in seeking to give free ad vice to either tid e in Europe.“ Day after he recited this opinion of Franklin Roosevelt to Chicago Republicans, Iowa's onetime Sen.

What to Eat and W hy C. Houston Goudiss Discusses Significance of Fruits and Vegetables; Tells the Truth About Canned Foods By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS GENERATION ugo, except in mid-summer, fruits were a luxury that only appeared, with nuts, at the end of a festive meal, and vegetables, except for the root crops, had no regular place in the daily diet. But when scientists estab lished the importance of mineral salts in human nutrition, these two groups of foods assumed a position of commanding Importance, because next to same foods cooked at home That A m ilk anil egg», they arc tha chief conveyors of mineral» from the to il to man. Ifith tho discovery of vitamin» they achieved new distinction, because in their content of these viral substances, th ey rank with m ilk and eggs at “protective" foods. Food» Thai Safeguard Health In addition to providing nutri ents that are indispensable for buoyant health and n o r m a l growth, they possess anoth er important v ir tue: the indigesti ble cellulose or bulk yielded by the fibrous framework of the l e a v e s , stems and fruits of plants, has a natu ral laxative value which helps to in sure normal elim i nation. And finally, they are ex trem ely useful in helping to main tain the acid-base balance of the body, for all vegetables and most fruits yield an alkaline-ash fol lowing digestion. Green Vegetable» for Iron Fruits and vegetables supply varying amounts of practically ev ery mineral element the body re quires. They do not compare with milk as a source of calcium, but sub stantial amounts of this bone-and- tooth-building substance are to be found in leaf and stem vegetables, carrots, oranges, figs and straw berries. Moreover, investigations have demonstrated that calcium from vegetables is well utilized by adults. Green vegetables, In general, are outstanding as a source of iron. And It has been further es tablished that their iron is better absorbed and becomes more com pletely available for nutrition than iron from some other sources. Some fruits are also valued for their iron content, the more nota ble including oranges; tomatoes, which are botanically a fruit, though they are classed as a vege table; strawberries, blackberries, raspberries end huckleberries; and dried figs, dates and prunes. is partly because of the methods employed and purtly because canned foods are processed at the peak of their flavor and freshness. A Superlative Canned Food An outstanding example la canned salmon which has been called by one of America’s lead ing food experts, “ the cheapest and most nutritious animal food that can be had for children over six.” Very little fresh salmon finds its way into our markets and even then it may be far from "fresh” after a considerable journey packed in ice. On the other hand, salmon canneries have been estab lished in close proximity to tha waters from which salmon are taken, so that only a few hours elupse between the time the fish are removed from the water and the moment their rich nourish ment is sealed in cans. Sim ilarly the fruits and vege tables designed for canning are al lowed to mature on tree or vine. This means that they detelop maximum flavor and vitamin con tent. Then they are picked, rushed to nearby canneries and hermeti cally seated in cans. The sealed cans are then cooked at high heat so as to destroy any bacteria w^ich might be present. Because they are protected from the air during the cooking process, and because the cooking liquors are sealed in the cans, they retain a maximum amount of minerals and vitamins. It is because canned foods are so definitely superior in this respect that physicians en couraged the canning of strained fruits and vegetables for infants and young children. Fallacie« Diiproved Canned foods will keep indefi nitely without spoilage, as long as nothing occurs to make the can leak. I t is not necessary to re move canned food from the con tainer as soon as the tin is opened, though many homemakers often do so because the food presents a more attractive appearance in a dish or bowl. A hissing sound when opening docs ndt mean that the contents of a can are spoiled, but rather that there was a vac uum in the can, which the air is rushing in to HU. Thus canned fruits and vegeta bles are not only “ as good as” fresh ones, but are often superior Vegetable» for Vitamin A We usually think of m ilk and in food values.

The principal sources of this vita min are the citrus fruits; raw and canned tomatoes and canned to mato juice; strawberries; raw carrots, onions and yellow tur nips. As this vitamin is easily de stroyed by heat in the presence of oxygen, the amount present in any fruit or vegetable is great ly reduced by the average home cooking methods. On the other hand, this and other vitamins, as well as minerals, are usually well retained in commercially canned fruits and vegetables. Crochet Doilies for Every-Day Pleasure What About Canned Food»? I frequently receive letters from readers who question the merits of canned foods. They ask wheth er it is true that canned foods are devoid of vitamins; whether canned foods are wholesome for children; whether or not canned foods may spoil on the grocer’s shelves; and if it is dangerous to eat foods that have stood in the can for a few minutes after be ing opened.
