This is the advice of Mrs. Leona Shee han, county extension agent for home economics, "Labels of food products are an extremely Important part of the preparation of the food." she states. "The law requires certain information to be carried on labels such as name of manufacturer, dis tributors, net contents, state ment of artificial coloring or chemical preservatives, varie ty, and in the case of canned goods, the pacKing medium, "A good label also carries information concerning the use of the product, and often times, a recipe or two. Labels should be improved from time to time to meet changes in the product as they are Im proved. Administration Makes Ruling On Preservatives Washington, D. C. - The Food and Drug administration has announced a proposal to establish a standard of ident ity for chemical preservatives used in food fats and fatty foods. Such preservatives are used to retard the development of rancidity. The proposed stand ard would require that the la bel of the preservative itself declare the specific chemical ingredient or ingredients from which it is made. The labeling of fabricated foods in which the preservative is used, how ever, may declare the pres ence of the preservative by its standard name without listing the specific chemical name. An acceptable label state ment for a fabricated food containing the added preserva tive would be "fat preserva tive added" or "fat antioxi dant present to retard rancid ity." . - . . Commissioner George P. Larrick said that one of the major purposes of the pro posed order 1b to require on preserved fats and foods con taining such fats, labeling that will be informative to the cus tomer. There has been much consumer confusion and mis understanding because of the declaration by chemical name of the presence of such pre servatives. Adoption of the standard of identity will clor ify consumer understanding tn this area and - will promote honesty and fair dealing, Conv missioner Larrick stated Interested persons are In vited to present their views in writing to the Hearing Clerk, Department of Health, Educa- tion, and Welfare, Room 5440, 330 independence Avenue, S.

Some homemak ers feel that if an ingredient is good, more will be better. Consequently when the in structions ask for two eggs, they put in an extra. A care fully balanced cake mix which requires just the two eggs will become overmoist and heavy, then they feel dis satisfied with the product. "Directions on opening a cereal box designed so a por tion can be used at a time make it possible to reclose the box so the cereal will remain crisp, Excess moisture will cause deterioration and loss of flavor from the cereal when the box is opened and closed carelessly. "When the expiration date on a package of yeast is dis regarded and the yeast is used when it is too old may cause a failure because dough for bread or rolls won't rise enough. Directions that read to sprinkle the dry milk on top of the water will be success ful, but it is almost impossi ble to reconstitute some dry milk solids by placing the dry milk in first, then adding water. "These are only a few of the errors made in preparing foods. Read your directions to get the most from the food products you use."

Furniture Buying Major Purchase; Pointers Given , By JOYCE SCHULLER United Press International Chicago (UP1) Furniture is a major purchase for most fam ilies and one that many home makers approach with trepi dation. Here are some pointers on how to go about it: To get the help of store per sonnel, including Interior dec orators In many establish ments make a rough sketch of the room in need of new furn iture. Note the room's dimen sions, where the present furni ture is placed, the general per iod of the decor and the color scheme. If possible, bring along small swatches or snips of upholstery and drapery fabrics. Judge the quality of furni ture under consideration by fabric, springs, cushioning, frame and fastening. To check the frame, upend the piece to see whether the frame is made of hard wood with no holes or faults. It should be thickest in front where it must withstand most strain. Check to see whether the piece has high-quality coll or zlgzog springs that are firmly tied to tiie frame. Lift the seat cushion and read the label, listing the ex act contents of the stuffing. Latex foam cushioning is widely used in quality furni ture because It is bouyant, long wearing and retains its shape. Examine the joints to see that they are fastened with wood dowels and then glued. Quality furniture Is never nailed together. In evaluating the quality of the fabric, note the tightness of the weave. This Is a good indication of durability.
