Distilled vinegar has only a trace of mineral matter. Yeast is also considered a “health” food by some. Brewer’s yeast is a good source of the B vitamins and of protein of high biological value. However, you get an adequate amount of these nutrients if your diet in cludes meat, eggs, and whole-grain or enriched cereals. But don’t confuse brewer’s yeast with baker’s yeast.

In this way, it reduces the amount of thiamine from other foods that your body should be getting. Cooking inactivates Die live property of baker’s yeast so it’s harmless in bakery products.

Ladder Safety Fall clean-up may mean >' ,daS i | Noteb ook • '***** *** This past week I prepared a family geneology back to the great grandparents for our daughter who is taking a college course called “American Family.” They plan to relate the “average” family and its problems to your own family. I was struck by certain similarities in all the families over three generations. For one thing, all of the seven were far mers; but not until they had tried hand at something else. All but one attended Millersville Normal School, Business College or Franklin and Marshall Academy. And that one gave up farming for awhile and moved to Millersville so his daughter could attend college. Also amazing was the fact that four of the seven women had education beyond public school. These families dated * S I » painting, window washing and roof repair at your house. If you climb up a ladder to work take these safety pointers along with you. While working or clim bing, always face the ladder and hold on with one hand. If it’s necessary for you to use both hands in your work, hook a leg over a rang to secure yourself. Make sure a stepladder is fully spread and locked. Check to see that its sup porting points are level on a base. Never stand on top of a ladder. There’s always a danger of losing your balance. Rather, distribute your weight carefully so you won’t overload or upset the ladder. Don’t climb if your shoes are wet or muddy - it’s too easy to slip and fall. If you are using an ex tension ladder to climb put onto a roof, the top of the ladder should extend at least two feet above the roof. If it’s too short, it may be unsafe or difficult for you to get on and off the roof. And, of course, never erect a metal ladder near exposed electrical wires. Ida P'Sser back to 1840’s and 1850’s when education was not for everybody.'There was a total of 16 years teaching ex perience but teachers in those days were not paid enough to support a family and so they farmed like their fathers. They were active in community affairs and I told my children, with ancestors like that it is no wonder they like school and have so many interests. The other day I glanced out the window and saw a “big” herd of black and white cows. Now they were not all ours, rather they belonged to us and two neighbors. All that separated them was an electric fence and the Conestoga. If someone thoroughly mixed them, I think it would take half a day to separate them. One of ours swam the creek recently and in trying to chase it home the neigh bors fence was torn down as it ran from one herd to another. Instead of boating across to repair.it, Allen and Philip loaded their tools in the pickup truck and drove almost four miles to repair the damage. We are not always so luck] when a cow swims the creek Sometimes they don’t mak« it. Another neighbor lost at animal in the recent higl water and it was discoveret several days later caught or limbs almost a mile away 49
