Feeding the Family
"The enly thing, that has
grown faster and bigger than the
food industry is taxes. In 1939,
total taxes were $12,500,000,000.
The nation's food bill was $18,
000,000,000. (Those are billions,
he's talking about). In 1950,
taxes passed food costs. This year
taxes will lift $85 billion out of
the nation's pocketbooks com
pared to $58 billion that will be
spent for food,
He reminded us that $1 out of
every $5 spent for groceries is
for hidden taxes and went on
to say that he is dead set against
price controls on grocery items
for these reasons: "It would be
to the public interest to abolish
controls, in that ceilings take all
of the flexibility out of the mar
ket. With certain items pegged
so that he cannot raise prices
regardless of the market, the
merchant ' la prevented . from
lowering prices on other pro
ducts even If the market per
mltted, because he must adhere
to a certain percentage of mark

Mr. Willis, who represents

grocery products, further stated
that the grocery business is high

We think it highly probable tnat
your grocer will agree whole
heartedly with Mr. Willis.
Plentiful Foods For Miy
Broilers, fryers, eggs and
small .nances lead the list with
plenty of other good things at
"special to reasonable prices;
turkeys, fresh fish, frozen fish
fillets, dried prunes and raisins,
domestic dates, dairy products,
peanut butter, cooking fats and

Potatoes, tomatoes, sweets and

Sieve Versus Strainer
Common casualty among
home kitchen utensils is the
strainer. When the wire mesh
pulls off the frame it is a nuis
ance and also a waste. The fault,
household efficiency experts
tell us, is neglect of an important
rule; Use the right tool for the
titlon alone would be enough to job. When a recipe says "Force

througn a sieve," the housewife
too often uses a strainer not
made for the Job. To be sturdy
enough to stand forcing or press
ing, the wire mesh needs to be
supported by crosswires. But
better for this work are the food
presses which are especially de
signed for speedy, easy slevelng
and for easy cleaning.
Sweating Freeiers
Beads of moisture or "sweat
ing" around the outside opening
of a home freezer in hot, humid
weather may be a nuisance but
do not indicate anything wrong,
say household equipment special
isti of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. If however, sweat
ing occurs on sides and top of
the freezer as well as around the
opening, the owner has cause
for concern and the dealer or
manufacturer of the freezer
should be notified.
Plug Protection
Turn off the appliance before
pulling out the plug. This is the
simple but important rule to
prevent damage both to the plug
on the electric cord and the con
venience outlet In the wall. It
holds for appliances large and
small, from washing machines
and vacuum cleaners to toasters
and even to portable lamps.
Breakfast Juices
No need for monotony. There's
a galaxy of vitamln-rtch Juices;
tomato juice, orange, grape
fruit and pineapple juice and
then there is the family of whole
fruit nectars which Includes
plum, pear, peach, peach-nectar
ine and the popular apricot nec
tar. Some folks like to mix them.
Baked Bananas
Tropical masterpiece. Peel 6
firm bananas. Place in well
buttered baking pan. Brush well
with butter; sprinkle with salt.
Bake in moderate oven, 375 de

Girlie Vegetable Powerhouse
In India, garlic is said to be
used for' "Improving the voice,
Intellect and complexion." We'll
concede - that it Is a powerful
vegetable but we'll go only so
far as to say that a little garlic
has a lot of power when it comes
to improving the flavor of ever
so many good American foods
and dishes. The Italians and cer
tain other Europeans have held
these opinions for centuries.
Crush a clove of garlic in the
bowl In which you toss potato
salad. Remove the pieces with a
fork, then add potatoes and
other ingredients.
Have garlic French rolls in
stead of garlic bread. Cut the
rolls In thin slices almost
through the lower crust. Spread
with Vt pound butter or mar
garine with which one clove
crushed garlic has been blended
. When you cook stew, stick a
toothpick through a garlic clove
and drop in. It's easy to find and
remove before serving.
Prepare garlic butter as for
bread and spread it over sizzling
steaks or hamburgers as they
come from the broiler.
Crush a garlic clove In your
casserole before adding Ingredi
ents for spaghetti or macaroni
casserole or for beef pie.
When you roast a cut of lamb,
cut slits in the fell and insert
cut clove of garlic and crushed
mint leaves. For beef, leave out
the mint
Crush garlic in salad oil and
brush lamb chops, steaks or pat
ties before broiling.
When you prepare a spaghetti
sauce, fry the chopped onions
until tender, then add the gar
lic. Garlic burns more quickly
than onions.
Crush garlic and blend with
mayonnaise for making slaw or
serving on vegetable salads or
for serving with boiled fish.
- Blend cream cheese with
crushed garlic. Season with salt,
p e p p'e r, Worcestershire and
chopped chives or green onions.
Serve as spread for appetizers
or soup crackers or thin cream
and serve as dip for potato chips.
Sieved avocado Is delicious in
stead of cheese, but add lemon
Juice to It.
Spread thick tomato slices
with garlic butter; broil with
steaks, chops, hamburgers.

its taxes than It does to eat. Paul
