Show I 7;o simple home tests Low Melting Point Easy Digestibility Into half a glass of lukewarm water drop a small lump each of Crisco and any other shortening. With a spoon gradually add hot water until Crisco melts. You will find that few other fats melt at this point. Food authorities say that an easily digested fat should melt near body heat 98 2 s degrees. Crisco, you will find, melts even below this temperature. It melts at 97 degrees. de-grees. (This test does not nec-' nec-' essanly condemn the digestibility of the other fat, but it will aid you to establish Crisco's fine digestibility.) Avoid Smoke and Odor! Put into separate pans equal amounts of Crisco and any other fat. Heat slowly for eight min utcs or until they reach a temperature tem-perature where a bread crumb browns in 40 seconds. Notice that the Crisco, unlike most cooking fats, does not smoke at this proper frying temperature. tempera-ture. You will find that frying with Crisco will be very helpful m keeping your whole house fresh and free from the odor of cooking fats. TN THE QUAINT little home of our friends, Conny and Prudence and Jack and Jim, each Aday sees the strangest happening! cs, it is actually true, Conny and Prudence and Jack and Jim are always on time for meals. A secret of their mother's is responsible. She knows how safely to give her boys and girls the very foods they crave. And she tells the children, "cakes and pies and cookies arc only for children on time." Any careful mother who wishes to gratify her natural desire to give her boys and girls safe cakes, pies and cookies will find some helpful information below. I A government bureau on Child foods and healtj H Jilso, some important facts about a digestible shortening I TTTTHEN official investigators an-V an-V V nounced, after studies in many different cities, that one school child in every three was under-nourished, the Government Children's Bureau took important steps. As one corrective measure they issued a booklet pleading for more intelligent home care. This HH booklet says, in part: "Let an infectious disease, such as measles, whooping cough or scarlet fever, attack a neighborhood neighbor-hood and the difference between the well-nourished and the malnourished mal-nourished child at once appears. The child in fine physical condition condi-tion may not escape the disease, but if he does contract it he has more vigor to withstand the attack and his recovery is usually rapid." So thoughtful mothers are naturally attaching a new importance to the digestibility of the foods they serve to their boys and girls. The need for digestible shortenings These mothers appreciate the peculiar need for intelligent selection of the family shortening. They know that fats are our chief energy foods. They realize, too, that an unwholesome shortening short-ening can render difficult of digestion dozens of otherwise healthful foods. With so much motherly thought centered cen-tered on healthfulness it is only natural that Crisco is everywhere displacing shortenings of doubtful digestibility. For Crisco, you know, is a vegetable shortening a shortening which digests in an easy natural way. When a mother bakes and fries with Crisco she may dismiss anxious doubts Digestible Vegetable Shortening about digestibility. When serving fried foods, pics, cakes or cookies, she need not keep saying to her little ones "Be careful." Instead, she may take a natural satisfaction in saying, "Help yourselves." Unusually delicious results too reward re-ward the user of Crisco. Light digestible cakes which stay fresh longer ! Tender, flaky and digestible digest-ible pie crust! Digestible fried foods with a crisp brown outside and a delicately deli-cately flavored inside! These, mothers tell us, make Crisco cooking a real pleasure. So nowadays a really thoughtful mother would no more deliberately choose indigestible shortening than she would deliberately choose inferior milk. The really progressive grocer, you will find, prefers to sell the most healthful health-ful food ingredients. He is more and more recommending Crisco to take the place of shortenings whose ease of digestion di-gestion may be questioned. How to use Crisco IN PAN FRYING as in deep frying, Crisco has reached proper frying heat when it browns a bread crumb in 40 seconds. (Do not wait for Crisco to smoke.) By straining Crisco j you can use it again and again. AS SHORT- i ENING use 5' less of Crisco than you would of animal fats.
