A th The Perfect Diet May Not Be Safe to Eat But even the homemaker who plans an ideal diet may be undermining the health of her family by feeding them spoiled or tainted food which carries the deadly germs of disease. hear stories of or serious illness caused by food contamination. And it 1b significant that the improper care of food in the home is most often responsible. One physician has gone so far as to state that there is no estimating the number of persons who, while not sick in bed, feel rather poorly, "not strong, or kind of run down because improperly preserved food gives them insufficient nourishment and their strength is exhausted in combatting the action of germs. Homemaker's Responsibility For Food Sanitation An enormous amount of time and money is expended to put foodstuffs in your kitchen in a fresh, palatable and safe form. Laws govern the manufacture, transportation and merchandising of every food product and an elaborate system is maintained for the inspection of meat. But all this care can be undone if food is not adequately refrigerated in the home. From the moment that meats, fruits, vegetables and groceries reach your kitchen, the responsibility ia yours, and you will be guilty if your husband and chit dren suffer ill effects from eating tainted food. Causes of Food Spoilage Spoilage in food is due to the ravages of a vast army of microorganisms which cause it to sour, deeay or putrefy, depending upon the nature of the food. There are three classes of s which develop in food bacteria, molds and yeasts. All three are notable for their minute size, rapid growth and wide distribution. Yeasts and bacteria can only be seen with the aid of a microscope. Not all are the enemies of man; some are useful in the preparation of foods such as cheese, sauerkraut and bread. These need not concern the homemaker. But the harmful bacteria will flourish wherever conditions are favorable to their growth. There are two important factors governing food preservation. One is the maintenance of a constant temperature of from 40 to 58 degrees Fahrenheit under no circumstances should food be stored at n temperature higher than 58 degrees, or baeterie will multiply so rapidly ae to make it unsafe to eat. The other is to maintain the proper degree of moisture in tho air neither too much, which We frequently death micro-organism- micro-organis- Do You Wont to Know Where to Find the Different Vitamins? Cel nil Free Bulletin Offered by C, HouUon Coudiu of this Appearance of Food May Be Deceptive The great danger of food that if improperly stored ia that it may become spoiled without advertising that fact. Appearance is seldom a reliable guide and unless your refrigerator la efficient, food may become unfit for consumption before spoilage can be noted by eight, taste or smell. All types of protein foods harbor bacteria which multiply rapidly at temperatures higher than 50 degrees. Under favorable conditions of moisture and temperature, bacteria double their number every 20 to 30 minutes, and a single bacterium can produce a million bacteria in 15 hours. Safeguard Children's Milk Milk is the most perishable of all foods, because it is an ideal medium for bacterial growth. If this master food is to be kept safe for children, it must be stored at a temperature not higher than 45 degrees. Careful studies show that there is very little increase in bacteria when milk is held for as long as 48 hours at a temperature of 40 degrees. But when the temperature was allowed to rise to 50 degrees, almost 30 times as many bacteria developed, and at 60 degrees, the bacteria multiplied more than 8,000 times in the same period. Foods That Spoil Easily The rapid multiplication of bacteria also occurs in other foods having a high protein content, including meat, meat broths, fish, gelatin, custards, creamed foods, peas and beans. It ia important that all these foods, as well as milk, be kept in the coldest part of the refrigerator, as a few degrees in temperature make a great deal of difference in preventing spoilage. Once food has begun to deteriorate, it must be discarded or it may endanger health. Cooking will not make spoiled foods fit for consumption. How to Sirs. 8. T. When thoroughly chewed and given a proper place in the diet, cheese is usually well digested. Experiments performed by the United States Department of Agriculture demonstrated that an average of 95 per cent of the protein and over 95 per cent of the fat of cheese were digested and absorbed.

Mold will grow on almost any substance, but ia particularly likely to occur on acid foods, as lemons, oranges, tomatoes and berries; on neutral foods, such as bread and meat; on sweets, notably jellies and preserves, and on salty foods, including ham or bacon. Molds may develop quickly or slowly, depending upon the temperature and degree of moisture. They thrive under the Influence of wirmth and moisture and may remain invisible to the naked eye for as long as 36 hours. All molds are white at first, but as they mature they change color, becoming blue, red, or assuming various shades of brown. To the bacteriologist, these colors have different meanings. To the homemaker, they all tell the same story that through improper storage food has lost its appetite appeal and palatability. Mold growths may be destroyed by boiling temperatures. They may be retarded by keeping food in the cold, dry circulating air provided by an efficient refrigerator. A good refrigerator is the best Investment family can make.
