BETTER MEALS FOR LESS MONEY. By Mary

New-York tribune., 1917-07-08

TIME foundation stone Of food economy IS
the willingness to try new things. Inc
Il tenacity with which the mind can cling
10 the barriers Of custom was illustrated as
amply during the recent food riots in New YORK
as it ever was in famine-stricken Hindu VII
lage-the only difference being that the New
York East Siders absolutely refused to touch
rice. and the Hindus starved in droves sooner
than eat Anything else
This insisterce upon trotting along 1000
rut is never-ending encouragement 70 the
food speculator. If the crops are short or the
speculator has had good luck in cornerlng
big supply. the price of almost any staple may
be run to prohibitive figure, when at any mo-
rnent the ultimate consumer could break the
deadlock by refusing to buy that particular
commodity and turning to something else that
is equally nourishing and, TO the accustomed
palate. quite as appetizing.
Uncle Sam knows this down to the depths OF
his wise and kindly old heart, which is big
enough and patient enough to educate every
foolish child in his big family.
Just now he is hammering at this question

THERE is always great danger to cloth

camp fires Preclude this by having all
muslin and cotton garments rendered fire.
proof. This can be done by putting an ounce
Of alum in the last rinsing water or in the
starch.
It is most difficult In camp to keep" cereals,
etc. Try putting a stone in the centre Of a
package. It will prevent the meal from heat
ing
You will find a roll Of adhesive plaster, such
as is used by surgeons, one Of the greatest
camp conyeniences. It is just the thing for
mending all sorts Of rents--in clothing, rain
coats, or even shoes or oyershoes.
If you have any slippery walking or climb
ing to do, try putting strips Of adhesive plss-
ter on the soles Of your shoes or rubbers. It
may save you from a hard tumble down slip
perry hillside
If your hot water bottle springs leak, use
a strip Of adhesive plaster tc mend It. No
camper should be without this universal ne
cessity-a hot water bottle; thought you
forget tin case Of chill, cramps, etc.-all
common camp ailments-use 2 hot stone from
your camp fire, or a hot stovelid, if one is at
hand. IF you have hot water bag too far
gone for the adhesive plaster repairing, I'LL it
full of hot sand or salt.
II you cant find the cork" use a bit Of the
plaster over the top Of the bottle. II the salt
or pepper shaker is the kind with holes in the
bottom, again use the plaster

Things will scorch over the camp fire more
than any other place. If not too badly burned
take your pan quickly from the fire and stand
it in a basin Of cold water for few minutes.
Every trace of the burned favor will be re-
moved if the scorching has not been too deep.
To keep red ants away ruo sassafras around.
Sassafras may grow near your camp. 1t is
shrub with. smooth, green bark and leaves
shaped like an oak leaf Il is detected by its
pungent odor. Paregoric will Danish black
ants Borax will drive away either kind.
II you use candles in camp and wish 20 keep
a night light, very small piece Of candle may
be made to burn all night by putting finely
powdered salt on it until II reaches the black
tip Of the wick.
Use your watch as a compass by holding IT
so that the hour hand will point directly toward
the SUM- The point between the end Of the
hour hand and the numeral XII on the dial
will point directly 70 the south. A glance at
the dial will show the other points Of the com,

the hour hand pointing toward the sun. line
drawn from the centre through the numeral III

the numeral Y.
