pastor of the Methodist church for
the past three years, leaves the con-

HOW TO SELECT FOODS.
Home Economics Specialists Of
fer Suggestions for Getting the
Host Food for Ones Money.

The following suggestions on get
ting the most food for ones money
are from United States Department
of Agriculture Farmers Bulletin
808, How to Select Foods"
Use cereals flour, meal, cereal
breakfast foods, etc. freely. taking
pains to prepare them with great
care and to vary the kind used from
day to day if necessary to keep
people from firing of them.
Remember that quart of whole
milk a day for each child, to be
used as beverage and in cookery, is
not too much.
Plan carefully both in buying and
in serving.
Do no be ashamed to plan closely.
Thrift in food means providing
enough food, neither too little nor
too much.
Notice carefully how much of
such staples as -four, sugar, milk,
cooking fat, etc., is used each week
for month, and see if there are
any ways of cutting down the
quantity needed.
Buy nonperishable materials in
quantities if better prices can be Sc
cured and there is a good storage
place in the home. Neighbors can
sometimes club together to get low
er rates.
Estimate carefully how much of
any material will be needed before
laying in supply, then see that
none is wasted by careless handling.
Try to make the dishes served of
such size that there will be enough
to satisfy the appetite of the family
and no unnecessary table and plate
waste.
Do not be above noticing whether
any thing usable is thrown away
with the garbage, which always
shows how thriftily food is used in a
household.
Many inexpensive materials can
be made attractive and the diet can
be pleasantly varied by a wise use
of different flavorings.
"Finicky" tastes in food often pre-
vent the use of many valuable ma
terials which might be the means of
saving money.
Good food habits are an important
part of personal hygiene and thrift.
Children get suchlhabits by having
suitable amounts of suitable foods
served to them and then being ex-
pected to eat what is set before
them.
True economy lies not only in buy
ing wisely but also in making the
fullest possible use of what is bought.

old SUBSCRIBERS OFFER RE.
NEWED
Another Week Added to Give
Contestants Time to Get Full
Benefit of This Offer.

Another opportunity in the Piano
Voting Contest. Both contestants
and subscribers desire it. The offer
to old subscribers is renewed for an
other week and will expire Saturday
night, May 5th.
The renewing the big premium
vote offer to old subscribers means
just this. They are given one week
more in which to pay their subscrip-
tions, and receive extra votes. After
this date the name of every SUBJ
scriber who is owing will no doubt
be visited by not only one of the con-
testants, but many. Our object in
making this offer early in the con-
test to old subscribers, is, that they
will not be solicited by contestants,
which some object to while others
enjoy.
We earnestly hope that so far as
possible, every subsc riber to this pa
per who is in arrears will make a
special effort.to pay up their sub
scription by Saturday night, May 5th.
This means much to the contestants,
and to be honest and frank, to the
publisher.
Let me tell you, there has been
some hustling in the contest during
the past week. 1t has not been con-
fined to any one contest. All the
leaders have been showered with
votes during the past week and they
are happy lot.
We repeat what we said last week,
thst every one ought to be in the
Top Notch List next week. All have
friends who will be glad of this op-
portunity to help.
Out-of-town subscribers whose
letters show the date mark of Sat
urday, May 5th, will receive this
special vote offer and be credited ac-
cordingly.
Several large gains have been
made the last week, notable among
the list is Mrs. Mcnamara, who is
forging steadily ahead to the top of
the list. You cannot tell where the
change will come but there is sure
to be surprises. Another record
maker is Merle Currier, who has
just commenced work, not being
able to take it up before on account
of illness in her home. She has
made remarkable gains and shows
what can be done by one seemingly
handicapped by late entry.
The offer this week is the same as
last. Subscribers who pay up ar
rears will receive the following votes:
One year 1000, two years 10000,
three ye ars ~, 200, four years SO, 900.
The time set for the little vote COL
lectors' contest to close is postponed,
for the reason so few have entered
the contest. There has been so much
sickness that many of the boys and
girls have been unable to enter and
this is held open to give everyone
a chance. There is plenty of time to
win out in this for very little work
has thus far been done, owing to
there being only two contestants,
and the conditions of the contest
called for two contestants for each
prize. Boys and girls should get
busy and a little effort will make
them Top Notchers in this little vote
collectors contest.
