CHERRY PICKING TIME

When cherry picking time is here
is gets the girls to working near to
nature. Under sunshades made by
trees. famed by gentle July breeze
they pluck the fruit from every limb
from early morn to evening dim.
This puts the redness in their checks
which clings to them for many weeks.
It's good for them to do these tasks
while their brothers are in helmet
masks in trenches. Cherry harvest
done by lasscs saves the product for
the masses in this nation. Then when
cherry crop is gathered and the girls
have grown wethered to the Ia
Dor they'll turn their task to green
fields where their dads have big bean
yields and harvest those. So to the
girls is due great praise in these aw-
full wartime days.

Food knowledge
Most Essential

Food knowledge is one of the most
<hluable assets a woman can have
nQw-or anytime. A housekeeper
Who can conserve food and yet not
pc penurious, who saves not for the
sake of saving money but for the
Fake of saving waste, is a blessing to
her household and her country Her
cniidren and her children's children
will wake to call her blessed.
II the American housewife does
not understand food values she
should learn. If she thinks her house
is not being run as economically as
her neighbors she should start to
study and reform her house COM
pietely, from the garret down or the
cellar upward-have a heart to heart
conference with herself and find out
the weakness of every department In
the home.
Some questions she should consider
are; Shall l buy in bulk or small
quantities? Do 1 watch my cellar,
SINK and garbage pail as / should?
Is there any waste anywhere in the
house or garden? Do L place too
great a quantity of food before the
IamliyY Could l not serve less food
without the family losing in health?
10 1 serve monotonous meal or do
L give just enough variety to create
PASoSuAS III the consumption OF 1t
without their overeating? Do 1 serve
the same foodstuffs in many different
forms at once? Do serve too heavy
a breakfast? Do 1 make nourishing
soups for lunch so that the workers
go back to work refreshed and not
oulled for the afternoon? Do l use
all left-overs and make from them
nourishing and palatable dishes? Do
! understand the tables of calories in
foodE Do 1 understand the amount
OF proteids, carbohydrates and fats
IN the different foods? Do L know
that dish of wheat cereal with
sugar and cream contains more real
nourishment-protein. fat and carbo-
hydrates-as bacon and eggs? Do
consider the food value and the ben
nj to the health of the family first
or do 1 consider the cost in money
or my own ease, comfort or conven-
ience? Am l making business and
a pleasant. profitable occupation of
housekeeping or am l keeping
house" in any hit or miss way2 Am
l doing my duty by my family, and
