DON'T BE FINIcKY!''

There are certain people who are really
and truly 'fnicky". Are you yourself
in that class? At once you say mol
But are you sure? Are you buying bread
at s cents loaf, every day in the week,
and also the best cuts of meat and ex-
! pensive potatoes? You come home after
your marketing is finished and prepare
your dinner and while you are sitting at
your table enjoying your best of foods
your conversation will perhaps be about
the high cost of bread, of potatoes, etc.
At the same time you do not seem to
realize that if you would only substitute
some cheaper and just as nutritious foods
YOU would be bettering both your fnan-
cial status and yous physical health. At
once YOU think that you and your family
could not enjoy meal Of mush and milk;
and that you are not going to eat dande-
lion greens, etc--perhaps they do not
look appetizing, but if prepared in an
attractive way they are most beneficial.

been petted and pampered and our di-
gestion affected by much rich food. Why

meal and barley? Try using hominy in
