HAM TASTES BETTER WHEN BOILED OR BAKED WITH SUGAR Sugar Combines Ideally with Salty Tang of Smoked ' Ham PH1LE8 COKED W1THOU1 OFMA- tion ok loss ot rutm DR. MARSHALL .ttt .RBOON BUILUINO i There are few meats that can surpass ham in taHte-appeal and popularity. When it comes from tho oven p'ar.cu wn sitcnr and dotted with cloves, it is tantalizing to have to wait for a pink, savory-sweet Slice. To develop the flavor of ham to the utmo.it, put halt a cup of sugar and half a cup uf vinegar in the water In which your half or whole ham simmers. Then after the ham is tender let it remain in the water until cool. The result is a delicious, savory flavor. Ham, however, is but one of the many foods where sugar can be used to advantage. In seasoning meat stews and pot-roasts, canned or fresh vegetables, a dash of sugar to a pinch of salt greatly Improves the flavor. Salt by itself merelr overcomes flatness. It Is the sugar that "brings out" the flavor. Most foods are more delicious with sugar. The Sugar Institute. DK. CHAN LAM Chinese Medicine Co.

English designers were strong for Jong trailing dresses for both day and evening wear, but fash ionable women decided that long frockj were excellent only for dress wear. For the daylight hours, they Insisted, dresses just below calf-length were the smartest while those dipping to the ground were dowdy and easily bedraggled when worn out of doors. At ft recent dress show In Lon don, fashionable women comment ed favorably on the fact that for once there were no full-length af ternoon frocks paraded. Generally, nine inches below the knee was the limit of the day dresses and suits. Among the evening clothes, how ever, was a sensational model with a wide skirt of black georgetu. a moulded corsage of contrasting green georgette and ft most daring V back cut to the waist and sup ported by a vertical strapping; of diamante. GREEN ELEMENT IN PLANT LIFE IS SEPARATED Washington, (LP) ScelntkU in the bureau of chemistry and soils ot the Department 01 Agriculture by an elaborate series of experiments, have succeeded In separating chlor ophyll the green element in plants from the rest of the plant. The work: of these scientists Is expected to be of much value In studying plant diseases, and also in determining whether It Is pos sible to produce plant products synthetically. To those who are not scientists, It may be explained that chloro phyll bears much the same relation ship to the plant that haemoglobin bears to the human being. The haemoglobin Is the red blood cor puscle which carries the necessary oxygen through the human body, and the chlorophyll Is the green element which enables the plant to convert the carbon dioxide of the air Into sugars and cellulose materials. Scientists long have known that chlorophyll was the pigment which caused plants to be green. It ab ounds in large quantities In most plants, but for some time could not be separated from the various other chemical substances and mix tures. A complicated experiment evolved by the bureau has thor oughly separated It from the plant. In addition, another series of ex periments had been helpful In sep arating the carotin and xantho phyll from the plant. Carotin and xantliophyll are the substances in plants which cause the leaves to turn yellow, or orange, In the autumn, when the sun's rays have dried up the chlorophyll, or green pigment, In the plants. Car otin has been known for sometime as a copper colored pigment, but science has never been able to as certain the value of the substance to plant life, nor have they been able to ascertain the exact value ot xantliophyll, which is a pale yellow pigment. The green chlorophyll pigment has been shown to contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and magnesium. The only practical che mical difference in the organtlc construction of the green chloro phyll in plants and the red haemo globin In blood is that the chloro phyll contains magnesium and the haemoglobin contains Iron. Safe Specialist on Wrong Track; Jail London (LP George Brooks, 55, is a speciaUst In safes. Sir Ernest Wild, recorder at Old Bailey police court, paid him that compliment, but observed that in stead of being with a manufactur ing company, Brooks was paid by younger men who planned robber ies.

(LP) Next tune you want to find out whether a prune is good or not, try bouncing It. Good prunes are selected from bad ones by the bouncing test in a new grader for the fresh fruit Invented by George Weaver, Inventor and prune grower of the Myrtle creek region In Oregon, where thousands ot pounds of the fruit are produced annually. His machine, which also has a number of other features intended to aid in selecting the finest prunes for shipment, and to speed up the process of dehydration, has a travel ing rubber belt to which the fruit falls from an Incline three feet high. Sound prunes bounce across a nar row gap when they fall to the belt, while the unfit ones, lacking resili ency, are tumbled Into the opening. CITOLAS USED BY MINSTRELS Philadelphia (LP) The troubadours of old did not play on guitars. For despite the general Idea, the wandering minstrels used a citola. This at least Is the opinion of Dr. Jean Baptlste Beck, one of the world's greatest authorities on old musical instruments. He specializes In troubadours, that Is, when he Isn't busy teaching the history ot music In the University of Pennsyl vania, or In the Curtis Institute of Music, His study and den are filled with strange Instruments. But the most curious one In the collection Is an Instrument which dates back the first half of the 17th Century In Prance. ARIZONA RUINS TELL STORY OF FIRST CITIZENS Phoenlz, Ariz.. fLP) A story of Arizona's first citizens brown men who enjoyed life on a civilized scale at a time when ancestors of present day Nordics were savages is being uncovered bythts city. Excavation and restoration of the Pueblo Grande ruins, six miles from the city limits, is underway as a municipal project. Work will continue until the picture of pre historic life Is as clear to laymen as It now Is to archaeologists. It Is the only municipally owned and administrated ruins of the kind In the United States and when fully reconstructed will show a chapter In the life of an ancient community, now buried beneath this city. Phoenix acquired title to the ruins several years ago, named a commission to direct restoration and research and appointed Odd 3. Halseth as the archaeologist In charge. Located on an ancient canal, the ruins already have contributed to the store of knowledge concerning those who lived In the southwest ages ago. Soil and rock formation, covering the ruins, proves conclu sively that the people who Inhab ited the dwellings lived several thousand perhaps as many as 10,000 years ago. That these prehistoric "apart ment house" dwellers were civilised is proven by the presence of the canal and other evidence that an Intelligently operated system of ir rigating farm lands was In general use. Pottery as an Industry existed also while the dwellings, funda mentally similar to modem city Woman Lost 19 Pounds of Fat Cost 85 Cents Much Women Vea See Wt!i ei Moer CWktt mi m aim uuw Should Weigh sit arTiirfT How would you like to lose 19 pounds of fat In a month and at the same time Increase your energy and Improve your health?
