( 4 -SANDERS COUNTY LEDGER Thursday, August 6, 1959 Health for All By Mont. TB Assn. Unspoiled Summer Days Picnics and barbecues are fun, but bellyaches aren't. The long hot summer is a time for rest and renewal. It's no time for cramps, nausea, or diarrhea. But you probably have more upset stomachs in summer than at any other time. For one reason, people eat more informally in the summer. Too often, that means eating ir- regularly, eating \a lot of junk,\ swallowing gobs of iced drinks and frozen custards, and skipped cooked meals altogether. Then too, in this day of refrig- erators and home freezers we're prone to forget that food still spoils, especially in hot weather and especially certain kinds of food. Mayonnaise, milk and milk products, pasteries made with custard or cream filling, cold cuts like ham and liverwurst and various luncheon loaves, chop- ped meat, fish -these are all high- ly perishable and demand parti- cular caution. Cases of food poisoning occur even where food is prepared un- der professional supervision, so it can happen when mom's in the kitchen too. The cases that get into the newspaper are those where large groups are strick- en all at once, after eating tuna fish or cream puffs or some such perishable food that was, no doubt, prepared in advance and left standing around before being served. It doesn't take much time for such food to spoil on a hot day. Just remember to keep perish- able foods refrigerated, use froz- en foods soon after thawing, and serve only food that is fresh and unspoiled. A salad may be made ahead of time, but it should be kept in the refrigera- tor, and the mayonnaise, -al- ways refrigerated -should be stirred in just before eating time. Since germs cause spoilage, dirty fingers, open cuts, a boil on a food handler, and so on, can increase the risks. Where you are not sure care has been exercised, avoid certain foods altogether. Don't let spoiled fwd spoil summer fun!
