Honey Regarded as a Luxury
Rather Than Standard Sweet

We seem 70 regard honey as lux
ury rather than as Il standard sweet.
It's use is supposed to encourage the
consumption of warm biscuits and pan
cakes, and while we are endeavoring to
ecOnomize on food this is thought un-
desirable.
Little use is made of honey in cook
ing. examination of half dozen cook
books disclosing single recipe in
which honey was a factor. But some
years ago apiarists circulated leaflets
embodying directions for making use
Of honey instead Of sugar in Cakes;
cookies and other concOctions known
to housewives. several Of them dis
tributing samples as corroborative evic:
dence.
Instead of giving children SO much,
candy, which is often adulterated. nat
ural craving might be satisfied by a.
sweet which comes to the table in a;
pure and wholesome form, not added
to or subtracted from by any chemical
process. The use of butter might be
diminished by serving honey, for to
use butter and honey together is to

Claims Chorus Girls Should
Make the Best Housewives.

Chorus girls ought to make the best
housewives, provided they were given
a chance, according to Else Adler, a
musical comedy prima donna. She
reasons this way:
"Viewed from the standpoint of the
actual qualities that nature has be-
slowed upon her, the American chorus
girl, as class, is best equipped to be
the mother of our next generation. She
has beauty, high spirits, sense of
humor. and is naturally warmhearted
and affectionate. She is generous and
sympathetic. and n real worker. All
of these are good wifehood and moth
erhood qualities. And it is for these
reasons. I believe, that she gets more
proposals to marry than girls in other
professions.
Tho reason many chorus girls are
not success after marriage is because

A SLICE OF BREAD
"Many a Mickle Makes Muckle."

A single slice of bread seems an
unimportant thing. In many house
holds one or more slices of bread daily
are thrown away and not used for hui
man food. Sometimes stale quarter
or half lOaves are thrown out.
Yet one gOod-siZed slice of bread
such as a child likes to cut-weighs
an ounce. It contains almost three
quarters of an ounce of flour.
If every one of the cOuntry's 10
900 900 homes wastes on the average
country is throwing away daily over
II 100000 ounces of tlour-over $780,
600 pounds, or enough flour for over a
million one-pound loaves a day. For
full year at this rate there would be
a waste of over 319,00O,O0O pounds of
four-1, 100000 barrels of flour
enough to make 365,OOO,OOO loaves.
AS it takes AZ bushels of wheat to
make q barrel of ordinary flour, this
waste would represent the flour from
over 100000 bushels of wheat.
Fourteen and nine-tenths bushels OF
wheat on the average are raised per
acre. It would take the fruit of some
100000 acres just to provide a single
slice of bread to be wasted daily in
| every home.
To produce this much flour calls for
an army of farmers, railway men,
flour-mill people. 10 get the flour to
the consumer calls for many freight
cars and the use of many tons of coal.
| But, someone says, full slice of
bread is not wasted in every home.
Very well-make it daily slice for
every four or even ten or every thirty
homes-make it a weekly or monthly
slice in every home-or make the
wasted slice thinner. The waste OF
flour involved is still appalling.
Any waste of bread is declared to
| be ipexcusable when there are so many
ways of using stale bread to cook
| delicious dishes.

Milk and Dairy Products
Are the Cheapest Foods,
Says Agricultural Expert.

do not buy meat until you have
bought three quarts Of milk day." is
the advice of one Of the foremost
American authorities on nutrition. This
applies to family Of two adults and
three children.
The advice is good, according to L..
S. Palmer of the Missouri College OF
Agriculture, because milk at 9 cents
quart butter at as cents a pound,
cheese at 30 cents a pound, and cot
tage cheese at Is cents a pound are
still by far the cheapest human foods
from animal sources.
The ration per individual for the
civilian need not exceed $500 calories
of energy and 2.5 ounces of protein
day, according to the British food con-
troller. Three and one-half quarts of
milk, or one pound; 81 ounces of
cheese, costing 321s and 361a cents, re-
spectively, will furnish this amount of
energy, whereas it would be necessary
to buy nearly two pounds of the cheap
est cut of fresh pork, containing con-
siderable fat, at q cost of 40 to 50
cents, to obtain $500 calories Of
energy.
AS an economical source of protein
it is interesting to find that 10 cents
worth of cottage cheese, 16h cents
worth of cheddar cheese, and 10 cents
worth of milk, at the foregoing prices
per pound will furnish 25 ounces of
protein. The cheapest meat protein
one can buy is lean veal steak and 1t Is
necessary to buy 25 cents worth to
obtain 2.5 ounces Of protein. Eggs at
35 cents a dozen are practically on
par with lean veal. Nine eggs are re-
quired to furnish % ounces Of pro-
tein.
In addition to their economy dairy
products have the following points in
their favor: O There is no waste
connected with their use in the house
hold. (2) They contain valuable salts.
90 They contain other invaluable food
substances which many other foods
contain either in much smaller guam
titles or not at all.

as bichloride Of mercery, can be used
strong enough to kill these germs, as
it will also destroy the cells Of the
body and so make them less able to
fight the germs. Peroxide is specially
dangerous in deep wounds, as it car
ries pus germs everywhere and is not
strong enough. to destroy them.
Placing clean dressing, which
means a dressing that has been steril-
lied surgically (such as the Red Cross
dressing) on the wound will introduce
no more germs and will not injure the
delicate tissues of the body exposed
in the wound. Moreover, the flow Of
blood and blood serum (the liquid
part of the BLOODY will be in the direc-
ton of the dressing, so the germs will
be constantly going out. This, there
fore, is the way to take care Of a

Do Not Touch or Wash Wound,

billions of pus germs will be carried
into it. If washed with water even
more germs will be carried into the
wound, and not only that, but the
deep parts of the wound, which pre-
