State Health Officer
Warns about Cooking
Of Smoked Hams
Austin.—Old style, palate tick-
linn. succulent smoked hams like
you used to prepare for special
Sunday dinners are giving way
to the tenderized and ready-to-
eat varieties
Increased danger of spoilage
comes with the change. State
Health Officer George \V. C'ox
says.
Used to be you could salt down
a ham, then home-smoke it slow
and easy. When done, you could
hung it on the back porch easily
accessible for a quick slice.
T '.o; •„> days arc waning, for city
bound folks. Ask your butcher
for a smoked ham nowadays, and
you got two choice.--,: “tender-
ized", or “ready-to-eat.” They
look tlu s inv. and have some of
the old .-'veetnei-s. But there the
similarity ends, Dr. Cox says.
Since less preservative salt i;
used in the smoking process, to-
day's ham products have to be
p!a* . I under mine dial< refrig-
eration. the -ana as any other
meat.
"Tenderized” hams are smok-
ed at a temperature of approxi-
mately 111!) degrees Dr. Cox says
that means they have to be cook-
ed before eating in order to kill
any trichina larvae that may be
pr< sent.
"Trichina larvae, which cause
trichinosis, arc killed at a tem-
perature of 137 degrees F.” the
health officer cautioned. "That's
internal temperature."
He warned that "ready -to-eat"
ham products arc smoked at
approximately Hit) degrees, and
cured with less salt than reg-
ular smoked hams. They’ll spoil
easily unless kept under refriger-
ation until eaten.

We were looking curiously at a
pile of bacon in one of our gro-
ceries the other day and the
proprietor informed us that the
stack of meat, a thousand pounds,
was only a close two-weeks' sup-
ply. This is only the supply for
one house and shows what an
