CAUSES FOR
DISCOLORING IN
CANNED GOODS
Home canned vegetables and
fruit which have been stored for
some time and become discolored
on the shelf are a problem to
many housewives who hesitate in
preparing the foods for the family.
There are several causes for
discoloration of canned goods he-
sides spoilage, according to tin-
county home demonstration agent,
-Miss Lena Sturges. Fruits and
vegetables may darken at the top
of jars from air in the jars. They
also may darken from too little o
too much heating during canning.
Canned pears, apples, and peaches
sometimes take on pink or blue
tints from chemical changes in
their coloring or from too slow
cooling after canning. Iron or
copj er in cooking utensils or in
■water may cause brown, black or
gray colors in canned foods. High-
ly colored foods, like beets or
raspberries, may fade when canned
in plain tin. Such color changes
are not harmful although the food
may be less appetizing.
If foods show any sign of spoil-
age along with the discoloration,
however, they should be destroyed
without tasting, advises Miss
Sturges. Signs of spoilage are:
leakage, swelling of jar tops or
tins, a spurt of gas when the can
is opened, mold at the top of
jars. Mold in acid products is
usually not harmful although it
affects the flavor of food, but it
may cut the acidity so that dang-
erous spoilage organisms can
grow.
Any canned food th": . '. ?ws
signs of spoilage should be dis-
posed of where it cannot be eaten
by humans or animals. Unfortun-
ate as it is to have to waste can-
ed food, it does not pay to take
chances on eating food that may be
harmful. Canned vegetables es-
pecially should be suspected if
they show the slightest sign of
spoilage.

HYGIENE HINTS
TO BE TAKEN BY
ELDERLY PEOPLE
Some folks are old at sixty;
others are mentally and physically
alert at eighty. The number of
years one has lived may not be
a true index to one's physical
condition. Actually, the length of a
person's life span is influenced
by the condition of his arteries.
Premature hardening of the art-
eries, often due to avoidable in-
fections, improper diet, and possi-
ble worry and strain is to a cer-
tain extent, preventable -aid Dr.
Geo. >«. C.tx, Male Health Officer.
Many of the problems connect- 1
with the hygiene of old age are
<lu > to lowered mental pow r.
Therefore, a cheerful ami optii'.i --
tic attitude toward the aired, es-
pecially during sickness, is es-
se tial to their well-being. Old
pe pie regard their condition as
far less serious when they can be
ful!v dressed and out of bed. When
they can be up, the excretory oi-
gai: • function more satisfactorily,
too. However, when an elderly
person complains of being over-
tired, or otherwise ::ot- physically
fit, a day of rest in bed is ad-
visable. By providing light and
easily digested food and apply
ing warmth to the body of an
ag< d patient, he is often tided over
a mild or threatened illness.
Special attention should bo paid
also to proper clothing, diet and
exercise of the elderly. With rea-
sonable attention to certain well-
defined and easily followed prin-
cipli s of personal hygiene, it is
possible to grow old gracefully.
Furthermore if is also possible,
in many instances, to retain one s
facilities to such an extent as to
make old age a pleasure rather
than a borden.

NEW HOPE FOR
PROGRESS IN FIGHT
AGAINST POLIO
N'ew hope for progress in the
fight against infantile paralysis
was expressed today by C. B.
Maynard, local chapter chairman
of the National Foundation for In-
fantile Paralysis, in revealing plans
for the First International Polio-
myelitis Conference in New York
this summer.
Mr. Maynard said preliminary
announcement bulletins and *nvit-
ations were being sent to local phy.
sicians and other qualified scienti-
fic and professional persons who
may wish to hear leading authori-
ties from all parts of the worlu
pool their information on infan-
tile paralysis.
The conference is being spoil
sored by the National Foundation
as part of its search for a cure,
preventive and more advanced
treatment method of infantile
paralysis, the local chairman said.
It will be hela in the Waldorf-
Astoria Hotel in New York City
July 12 to 17.
Mr. Maynard said National
Foundation headquarters had in-
formed him that official govern-
ment representatives from more
than (10 nations had been invited
to present summaries of polio-
myelitis problems in their coun-
tries. In addition, he added, motx
than 200 other medical authorities
will participate in the program.
Asserting it was the local chap-
ter's hope that many qualified pro.
fessionals from this area would
attend the conference, Mr. May-
nard said the session would serve
as a means of collecting and dis-
tributing vital knowledge on a
world-wide basip.
"During the war years," he
said, "this exchange of informa-
tion was limited. So not >nly is
there a vast backlog of vital data
which must be evaluated, but oui
medical authorities expect that
such a meeting will result in more
complete and expeditk us advance-
ments in the future."
Dr. Hart E. Van Paper, medical
director of the National Founda-
tion, has been named general chair-
• man of the conference.
