Careless Cooking.
Many housewives who complain that
children and adults will not eat break
fast cereals fail to realize that the
cereals they serve are undercooked
scorched or improperly seasoned, and
thus made unpalatable. Most of the
cheaper foods require careful seasoning
and preparation to be fully appetizing.
In many households, the specialists be-
lleVe, proper attention to the cooking
OF these cheap and desirable foods will
increase greatly their consumption and
thus reduce considerably the use of
more expensive foods eaten instead of
cereals.
Vegetables properly prepared tempt
the appetite. When they are served in
soggy form or in -watery or poorly fla
Vored dishes. much of them will be left
on the table. The nutritive value and
flavor of meat or fish can be lessened ty
oVercooking or improper cooking. If
fats are allowed to burn even a little
they develop unpleasant fiavors, and
usually cause people to refuse gravies
and sauces made with them or foods
fried in them: burned meat is also dis
agreeable, as are burned vegetables.
Much useful food gets into the gar
page pail because the housewife. in pre-
pairing potatoes or other vegetables and
fruit. such as apples. cuts off with the
skin considerable percentage of edi
BILE material Careless pairing Of pota-
toes may consign as much as 90 per
cent of the edible portion, including
outer layers containing valuable min
eral substances, to the garbage pail
Many persons are unaware that the
green and tender tops of many vegeta-
bles. which contain valuable mineral
and other food substances are excellent
cooked as greens or even as additions
to salads.
Many families take pride in serving
lavish and overbountiful meals Such
meals lead inevitably to waste of food
on the table and to overeating, which
often impairs health and efficiency.

A Canning Hint.
The government has been urging every
one to save as much as possible from the
summer garden for next winter. and at
the same time deploring the high cost
Of tin for canning the surplus vegetables.
Tomatoes keep splendidly in well steril-
lied glass Jars. ] find tin containers
more satisfactory for beans and vegeta-
bles of like nature. Therefore, / wash and
carefully dry every tin can with q re-
movable top that comes TO my house and
store it away in the pantry until needed.
1t is quite simple to put up a few cans
of vegetables every day or two during
the season. Be sure the cans are well
sterilized before filing them, press on the
top and, to be real sure they are alright
run wax around the edge of the top.

Cheap Floor Oil.
Instead of expensive floor oil use
equal parts of paraf1n oil and pure
vinegar. This will make any natural
wood floor beautiful and, after one or
two applications. easily kept so by US
ing dry mop to keep 1t free of dust.
l mix one quart of each and stir fire.
