SUGGESTIONS FOR THE SATURDAY MARKET BASKET
SPREADS" FOR BREAD

Did you ever eat bread dipped in beef
steak gravyl 1t was one Of the favor
ite spreads of my childhood, and even
now remember its luscious flavor.
Another tavorite spread among country
children is seasoned bacon fat cooled
and used Sn whole wheat, rye or white
bread.
These two spreads were used instead
of butter when the latter was scarce
usually in the winter time.
Since oleomargarine has been perfect
cd, il is usually used instead Of the
higher priced butter whenever the but
ter scars in price. --e quality oleo-
margarine contains 25 per cent. of June
butter or 25 per cent of cream. This
gives it the butter flavor so much en-
joyed by the American palate.
Our grandmothers gave their children
"treacle' as a sweet spread on bread
and the rural mother even now uses
cream andisugar or syrup for similar
purpose
We all have access 10 jams. jellies
and marmalades. which, besides being
wholesome sweets when spread upon
Dlead, pfoNlue lulheIal suits ana ~
agreeable in flavor
Peanut butter rich in food value and
favorite with most cl/lren. is an
economical spread. A peanut butter
sandwich with a glass Of milk is very
satisfying luncheon.
Wish butter which we all enjoy oleo-
margarine as an alternative, and jams,
mamalades, preserves. iellies and pea
nut butter we have abundant variety in
spreads for our breads, even in war
times.

Beans. peas. lentils, fish and

extensively used
Some of Us have a prejudice against
alternatives. We are in the habit Of
using certain foods and We resent

consider the alternative.

THE fOOO POISOKER

The common house fly as a me
chanical carrier OF disease germs is
the greatest menace OF all, in our
daily life. He does not bite. but he
has his own way OF carrying infec-
tion. His feet and legs are hairy and
particles of his "feasts' are carried
around on these and left on our food
Since we know he carries infection,
too many precautions cannot be
taken.
In several OF the western states in
connection with a municipal cleanup
campaign. a premium of 10 cents per
hundred was offered for flies. II a fly
when alive is a possible bearer Of
death from disease germs it is OBJ
vious that children who swat flies
and then save them untiEthey have
a hundred in order to obtain the GOV.
eted ten cents. they themselves are
certainly g-avely threatened with in
fection from the same germs Let us
teach the children to swat the fly
only because he is a menace to
health.
In order to emphasize the import
ance of the house fly as the greatest
pest known to man, It has been given
The name typhoid fly
Il is estimated that more than
s10.000000 per year is spent for the
screening OF habltations because Of
fies and mosquitoes.
Typhoid, as we know. is one OF
the most serious ailments to which
man IS subject, and 1t has been found
that flies have carried this germ
twenty.three days. always Of course
scattering disease whenever they
have access to food.
The case against flies is well
proven, and yet they are allowed to
infect the joint Of meat exposed for
sale by the butcher. the bread in the
bakery. sweetmeats on the confec-
toners counter, berries on fruit
stands. edge of the milk pail, the
kitchen table and utensils. and even
The food on our tables.
We are far too tolerant Of this
dangerous insect The IT, S. Govern
ment has sent out literature to edu-
cate us upon the fly evil and also in
struct us in preventing its spread. !
According TO these instructions the
breeding places of the fly are mostly !
In manure piles and a liberal appli- |
cation of kerosene. which kills the |
eggs and larvae, is recommended All |
such refuse should be promptly re- I
moved from proximity TO habitations |
A u. S. government bulletin suggests |
putting 1t in pits and treating with !
kerosene here.
Let us help to exterminate this |
pest by killing the insect and de-
stroying the eggs, whenever and
wherever we come in contact with
Them.
Above all, let us see that the fly
contaminates no food in our home
and insist that none be exposed to
such contamination while on its way
10 us. and be sure on every possible
occasion to swat the fly"

ent of buildings and grounds, would
further the project.

gave an illustrated lecture on the his
tory of the locomotive. His pictures
illustrated the endeaxor of inventive
genius in the United States from the
beginning of the inception of the idea
to produce locomotive engine,
through all stages from an insgnifi-
cant mechanism to the giant machine
of today, and also displayed accidents
on rail. tests and finally gave a view
of a trip to Pixies Peak.

friends would note the changes

praise devote. and much applause,
to me. But they would say, odd
scout, you're sickly, it appears;
since last YOU we're about, you've
aged hundred years. Your face
is white as chalk, you've shrunk
a lot in weight; you ought to see
the doc before it is too late. I've
found that portly gents who diet
