It gives a smoke flavor but does not afford spoilage protection added by regular smoking procedures. V Review Correspondent ; , ease. The Arthritis Foundation offers a free booklet entitled "Arthritis: Aspirin and Related Medications, to help educate and inform people about the use and effects of aspirin for the treatment of arthritis. Aspirin is a member of the salicylate family of drugs that reduce the effects of inflammation and fever. Salicylates are nonsteroidal drugs which reduce inflammation in most types of arthritis. Arthritis affects people in different ways, which is why a doctor must be consulted. Once the proper drugs dosage is determined it must be taken regularly. This ensures a stable blood level of aspirin and helps control Salting or Jerky Jerked venison or jerky is thin strips of venison salted and dried in the sun. It is still ' used by some hunters. , One way to make jerky is to cut the meat with the grain into strip 1 inch wide, lh inch thick, and 6 to 12 inches in length. Place the meat in a prepared solution of 2 , pounds salt in 6 quarts of water and leave the meat in this brine for 2 days. Remove the meat from the brine and wipe idry. Then bang the meat in the sun to dry. A loose covering of cheese cloth will keep away the flies during the drying process. Store the dried pieces in a cool place protected from s If you broiler dryuse the modern-da- y ing process, you must keep the final product refrigerated or frozen until use. This jerky is not sufficiently dehydrated for preservation. Fires from cooking oil and grease are a major cause of injury in the kitchen. They happen to even the best cooks. And while most people know that wear cant put out a grease fire but can cause serious splatter burns, in haste to put out a fire, people forget.

Six months ago that time came. Determined to let them run their own business, no one commented when one stacked cans of dog food on top of glass baking . Review Staff Organizing pots and pans cupboards is no easy job. In fact, to do the job well, one person in a family should make it a career. Since members of our family were always busy with toys, and making a living, the career was mine until I pursued other interests. The organization ran like this: Skillets, saucepans and the like went in the cupboard. Muffin, cookie or cake cuppans went in the oven-pan- s board. It was a very simple system. But it was a watchdog operation that required consistent monitor-inghetto-bla- sters g. dishes. They may have to learn the was my phiropes the hard way," ' losophy. Soon, things began to go wrong with the cupboards. An electric skillet was found in a box of potatoes and sauce pan lids ap- peared in a Tupperware cake-take- r. Then one morning there was no more room on the shelves of the cupbqard for a forgotten iron grill and it had to s be stored in the cupboard which was bare. Thats when I realized the kids couldnt handle the business. Whats worse, 1 had ignored their mismanagement abandoning the operation for a greater cause"a e job outside the home. neat But, I contemplated, oven-pan- Users of kitchen equipment who had no concept how the cooking utensil operation ran, often cluttered the cupboards with Tupperware. The goal was to train the children to take over the pots and pans organization when they were full-tim- cupboards are paramount to the success of a home, itself a microcosm of society. I thought of Eleanor Roosevelt and all she had accomplished in the world while coping with probably thousands of pots and pans. With a new sense of priority I took back the operation. It wasnt easy plowing through the cupboard to get to all the oven pans. A blender had to be pulled out of a sauce pan. Napkins from an open package in a popcorn bowl had filtered throughout hampering visibility. One positive thing, a lost electric mixer cord was found in the cupboard wrapped around a missing cub scout neckerchief. The mixer hadnt been used for weeks until someone came up with a tape recorder cord that fit. It wont be so bad having two careers, pots and pans cupboards and outside work," I concluded. Children must be given independence to find their own way. Ev eryone has to find his or her own niche in the world. They must climb their own mountain. Still, maybe they would be able to handle the miscellaneous drawer." swelling, pain and stiffness. According to the "Aspirin" pamphlet, not all aspirin and tablets are the same. It is best to stay with one brand, because differences in the ways var- ious tablets dissolve may cause stomach irritation. Aspirin substitutes are used for headaches, fever and mild pain, but do not suppress the inflammation that is present in many forms of arthritis. Analgesic rubs create the sensation of numbness and warmth. This may provide relief for some people. However, the menthol and camphor in the rubs is not well absorbed, and only a small amount reaches circu lation throughout the body. Analgesic rubs also do not reduce inflammation.
