Tips on How to Buy, Freeze and Store Foods Important always to the health of your family and especially so now, in order to more closely maintain a food budget, a thorpugh knowledge - of buying, storin', freezing and de- frosting foods is just an- other vital requirement of today's home- maker. In refrigerators, in cool- ed or room-temperature storage areas, or in a home freezer or freezer compartment, "keeping quality" depends upon the types of food and length of storage time. Generally speaking, meat and poultry, unfro- zen, should be 'stered in the coldest part of the re- frigerator. Leftovers should be refrigerated or frozen immediately. Freezer-bound foods should be wrapped se- curely. not be made;. only knowl- edgeable estimates may be made for there is no way to determine how fresh an item was before purchase. For frozen food stor- age, remember tþat there is a loss of food quality when frozen foods are maintained at miaximum storage time and highest temperature. If a power failure were to occur, a fully packed freèzer will safely keep~food for two days.. If not opened, a partially-packed freezer will only keep food for a day. Partial contents of a package of frozen food can be used, but the re- mainder .should be put back into the free2er im- mediately. Quick thawing can be accomplist ed by immersing in warm water for 20 minutes or 1 utting under cold running water for 80 minutes. Be cire to select undamaged pack- ages and avoid any which appear somewhat warm or overly moist. meats, cooked meats, fresh or cooked poultry, can be stored from one to several months. These same items can be refrig- erated at 30° to 400 F. from one to seven days. 0f course, all dried food, including dry milk, dry cereals, spices,' flour, coffee, tea, beans, or dried fruits in tightly sealed containers maybe kept indefinitely. All food deteriorates to some extent with the pas- sage of time, so the best possible way to derive maximum nourishment and taste pleasure from the food you eat is to pre- pare and serve it shortly after purchase.

Brillat-Savarin Reducing Water Bils in General: Leaky faucets, as men- tioned, can waste a tremen- dous amount of water. So can leaky garden-hose noz- zles and connections. Leaky toilet flush tanks are also big water wasters and often we don't know they are leak- ing! The way to. make cer- tain is to put some food coloring in the tank.
