Careful housewives throughout the
nation recognize the universal need Tor
sane economy in the use of foods. 1t
seems strange that while our men so
arms" many raise strong protest
against any change In the home dietary
plan. This is one of the objectionable
results the housewife must meet AFTER
allowing herself to get into cookery
rut. It is now absolutely necessary that
these habits be changed.
A family readjustment invariably de-
ponds upon the housewife. AS home
manager, she must now make time 70
plan the war time economies she real
ICES her family should make: After
carefully working out the plan she
must really plan campaign to WIN
the family over to seeing the necessity
for a cutting down of extraVagant use
and buying in food To do this, and at
the same time enlist the hearty co-opera-
essary for madam housewife to be well
fortified.
The newspapers are full of arguments
as to the great need for conservation. In
the face Of statistics daily quoted IN ire
reports of experts, who know the world
situation on. foods, there are still a rev
who maintain that because the corner
grocer's shelves are still well stocked
that all this food agitation is unnecessary:
Unless madam housewife has the moral
support of group of thinking women she
is often too easily overruled 1t is so
much easier to drift along the old way
than to take definite stand on the econ
omy side. If there is no food conserva-
ton league in your vicinity l recommend
that you read regularly the reports Of the
workings of other leagues.
This will give you an insight into the
economy plans they are making and car
rying out to advantage. In a very short
time you will feel moved to organize such
a patriotic group yourself. Such club
will do more toward gaining the I'M
qualified help of all the family than any
other one thing. Suggest to your family
that every one take it upon himself def
initely to report at least one helpful econ
omy suggestion a day.

Home Retrenchment.

We have a tentative year of grace to
prove how much we will voluntarily do for
the world along these food economy lines
The three staples-bread. meat and
sugar-should be used wisely in every
family.
The first family retrenchment is the
elimination of Injuries that have no
real food value or that merely double
up on the food principle contained in
the main foods of the meal.
Then the absolute elimination from
the menu of food that goes up in
price out of proportion to its food VAL
ue In normal times we spend a large
percentage of our food expenditures
for flavor. Some one has said that
nearly so per cent goes for flavor. This
sounds impossibly high, but when a
home manager will unprotestingly pay
7 cents for green pepper, just be-
cause she had made up her mind to
have her creamed salmon favored with

to eat, but we have good. nourishing
of food is SO high. we do without the
extra things and serve on our table
only the things that are actually nour-
iShing.
II You want to economic a careful
study should be made of the nutritive
value of the food bought and selection
made accordingly, leaving out all I'M
necessaries: it is these unnecessarles
that increase the bills.
Few of the housekeepers OF today
know how to buy; they do not know
the nutritive value of the food they
eat. They go to market and buy &C
cording to their fancy and what APP
peals to them. without any thought as
to the real value of the food. The
things that appeal only to the appe-
tite are not always the best foods for
us to eat.
For the benefit of those who may, not
know the value of different foods l
suggest that they ask the Department
of Agriculture for Farmers Bulletin
No 142. This pamphlet gives a table
with this information and will help you
in selecting food. 1t tells how much
Of protein, carbohydrates and fats are
needed by persons in different walks OF
life, and shows how. much the diff
ferent meats. vegetables, etc.. contain
Of each.

of feeding your family. and know
the results will be better food at less

label the compartments-fresh
meats, breakfast meats or fish, milk,
fresh vegetables, fruits, bread, fancy
groceries and unexpended funds-the
last-named being my economy incen-

At the beginning of each week, take
SIS for assignment. Into the fresh meat
compartment l put S1.40, or 20 cents
for each day: into breakfast meats.
$1.40; milk. 20 cents: fresh vegetables,
10 cents; fruits (dried or fresh), 70
cents; bread, 70 cents; fancy groceries

meal, baking powder, soap, flour, mo-

leaves not a penny to go into the pig

The above basis averages $1.15 per
day. or s1.60 per person per week.
In buying, I keep the "unexpended
funds" in mind so as to save on every
way without sacrificing the nutrition
and sufficiency. If for breakfast meats
I decide to get one-half pound of chip
beef at % cents-enough chip beef for
two meals-thus saving is cents for
