Feeding the Family
Cold Frfcd Cfcickm, Baked Hub
With Maks-Ii-Yourself Salads
How about jnother and the
girls having a holiday too? No
cooking, no table 3rrangements,
minimum of dish washing with
disposable paper plates, dishes,
cups, napkins. Just takes plan
ning . . . some .cooking ahead;
then let family and friends hap
pily fend for themselves.
If there are many people com
ing and going, there's nothing so
satisfying as stacks of cold fried
chicken or wafer-thin slices of
baked ham (for goading a sand
wich) or generous slices of cold
rdast turkey. If it's a family re
union or a really big thing, both
ham and turkey offer the ulti
mate ia, help-yourself eating . . .
indoors or outdoors.
Maka-It-Yourself Salads
Salad is of utmost importance
to western hostesses who, like
restaurants, now usually offer a
choice of salad dressings. Some
guests go for garlic. Others favor
Flue cheese dressing. Some pre
fer 'just good tart old-fashioned
french dressing and others want
it zipped up with exotic herbs.
To meet all these demands,
salad dressing makers offer
mixesjn popular "flavors" so
that f&e homemaker only adds
her favorite, vinegar, salad oil
and some water or a reasonable
facsimile to contents of an enve
lope with all the seasonings
thereir-and gives the combina
tion a good shaking. As though
this weren't enough, here are
ways of giving your own special
touch to salads.
Variations on Salad
Dressing Mixes are Many
The new salad dressing mixes
require the addition of vinegar,
salad oil and water. Here's
where the amazing variety
comes irti)
Vinegar variations may be
red or white wine vinegar, cider
vinegar;)nalt or pear vinegar.
Spiced or'herb vinegars are not
recommended because the mix
has plenty of seasonings already.
Lemortuice is liked by many, in
place of vinegar.
Salad oil variations may be
cottonseed oil, corn oil, peanut
oil, olive oil or soy bean oil. Or
a combination of them.
Liquid variations may be white j
wine, red wine, vermouth, chili
'sauce, catsup, tomato juice, spur
cream, mayonnaise, fruit juices,
canned tomato soup or vegetable
Juices. Or use one-fourth cup
of any of the foregoing in addi
tion to water.
Picture-Pretly Salad

serve on greens.
Helpful Reminders for
"Bird" Barbecuers
Even though you've been bar-becue-ing
all summer, you may
come upon another good idea
here.
Not only frying-boiling chick
ens but young turkeys, ducklings
and small geese make very good
barbecue-ing too. Both duckling
and goose are almost self-basting,
should be further from the coals
than chicken or turkey (because
of fat), have affinity for spicy
sauce.
Keep the barbecue mear sim
ple; the bird or meat is the big
attraction.
When handling "birds" use
long handled forks and. spoons
for handling and turning. Piero
ing any meat with a fork lets
the juice dram away.
Keep fire or coals very low
to the birds won't scorch or
cook too quickly. Keep fuel down
to about 2 inches deep. Briquets
not more than one layer deep
Don't worry if heat seems too
low at first. Glowing coals are
very hot.
Place sauce near fire to keep
both warm and convenient.
Some of the lighter sauces can
be sprayed from a hand sprayer
directly onto the birds or meat.
A sprayer will not handle the
heavier sauces however. Swab
made fronT" new whitewash
brushes or other types and
fitted with handles are ideal.
Spoons waste too much sauce;
may result in burned hands.
Eternal 'vigilance "on the part
of some one is essential. Poultry
halves or pieces need turning
and basting every 5 to 10 min
utes. Picnic Eggs
These are pretty wonderful;
maybe a little different. Hard
cook six eggs, peel and halve;
take out yolks and mash thor
oughly. Add two tablespons
chopped almonds or other nuts,
one tablespoon finely chopped
LABORLESS WEEK, END Make it as nearly a laborless holiday
week end as possible. If you're feeding many, there's nothing
easier nor more satisying than cold baked ham or cold turkey
fixed ahead and simply set out on buffet along with salad mak
ings including choice of quick mix salad dressing.

slice.

Rising Mortality Rafe Among Men
Not Yet Satisfactorily Explained
By DELOS SMITH
Vailed Press Science Editor
New York (U.R) Scientists
and all other men have been
called upon to solve a riddle
which will strike you as both
personal and urgent if you are
masculine of sex. It is: "What is
killing off the males?"
The solution is sought by the
Abbott Laboratories, which feels
untimely deaths among males are
now so frequent that "nature's
obvious aim at keeping the sexes
in numerical balance may yet be
endangered." G
"If you are a male between the
ages of 15 and 74, your day by
day chances of dying are at least
50 per cent greater than those of
your female counterpart in the
same age bracket," it told the
nation's physicians.
"Yet," ha added, "in 1920, you
would have been much more
nearly on even terms with her."
The statisticians have been busily
seeking out the reasons for what
has been fading the male, "but
a really convincing answer has
yet to be found."
Woman's Death Rata Cut
Now, take diseases in which
worry, overwork, and emotional
tensions seem to have a part
those of the cardio-vascular. sys
tems and ulcers. Among women,
the death rate from these causes
has decftned sharply when com
pared to the period between 1921
and 1928. But for men, has in
creased sharply. The big ques
tion is, why?
"Women may be biologically
more resistant to diseases 5 and
death than men," the laboratories
said without elaborating on why
they apparently have "become
more so in recent generations
if that is the answer.-
"Whether men contract infec
tious and communicable diseases
more easily and frequently, or
are simply less resistant to them,
has not yet been established.
Aggressive Males
"Their greatest venereal dis
ease rate, alcohol addiction, and
tendency to homicide and acci
dents may be explained by their
greater aggressiveness and lack
of caution. 'Getting around' more
than women, they also may ex
pose themselves more to such
diseases as tuberculosis, polio
myelitis, pneumonia, and influ
enza. "
"One important difference be
tween the sexes is in their -response
to strain and stress of to
day's high-speed, high-pressure
life. Women may perhaps ease or
avoid the consequences of ten
sion worry, frustration and de
spair through tears or occasional
hysterics. Menp on the other
hand, "seem more likely to in
ternalize these stresses at the
price of coronary disease, hyper
tension, or ulcerai"
Women Take; More Car
. Also women take better care of
themselves. Whats more, public
health officials pay more atten
tion to them. "They are known
to 'nurse' mild illnesses in a pre
cautionary, preventive w a y,"
which men don't do. Many more
doctors specialize in the diseases
of women than of men.
Nevertheless, none of these rea
sons or all of them seem expla
nation enough. "Something ought
to and could be done for the
male, especially the middleaged
and older male by himself, the
medical profession ,and public
health agencies," the laborato
ries said. "Concentrated study
and research should seek causes
behind men's rising mortality."
