BY VIRGINIA CARTER LEE

Conserving the sugar supply is SO nee
essary in the present food crisis, when
evcry spoonful saved to be sent abroad
means so much more heat and energy for
the men fighting at "the 'front.'" that every
conscientious caterer should employ
recipes in which either a small amount
Of sugar is used or some sweetening
agent is utilized in its place. This apart
from the fact that desserts and sweets
in any form should be reduced to mini
mum.
In making desserts, cooking fruit pre-
pairing some of the hot breakfast breads,
using it on cereals or uncooked fruit, in
the various beverages and in candies, the
American people lave used excessive
amounts of sugar, and it is only now
that the reed to economiZe has arisen
that people are beginning to find out that
many Of the natural food favors are real
ly better if the dish is not oversweetened.
Just now both maple sugar and syrup
are valuable sweetening agents, but these,
like honey, are rather expensive, so they
must be used in small quantities if one
would be economical as we'll as patriotic.
Molasses, syrups and the brown sugar
(all used in small quantities. are also ex-
cellent, and as these are not SO expensive
recipes in which they appear should be
first choice" when planning the wartime
menus.
In planning the meals for the coming
week the cold mutton is served for Mon
days dinner and the remainder in the

baked peppers for Wednesdays luncheon,
while the bone is added to the vegetable
soup, to give it a good meat flavor.
Two fish dinners are allowed for on
Wednesday and Friday, with a good meat
substitute for Tuesday, the meatess day,
a broied steak on Sunday and chicken,
or rather "rooster.' pie on Thursday,
which should allow of sufficient eft-overs
for chowder on Friday, combined with
pint of oysters
With the strict conservation of fowls
to keep up the egg supply, the supply of
these birds is greatly diminished, and the
price is consequently high BY shopping,
however, roosters may be obtained that by
careful cooking will give very satisfac-
tory meal.
Purchases for the week will include at
the butchers a four-pound fowl or rooster,
at SO cents q pound; one-quarter of pound
of salt pork, at six cents, and three pounds
of steak, at 35 cents a pound.
At the fish market two pints of oysters,
at 30 cents pint; two pounds of whit
ing, at Is cents a pound, and two pounds
CT Goldfish, at 20 cents pound.
Eight quarts Of bulk milk, at II cents
quart; one half pint of heavy cream, at
% cents bottle; one-quarter pint of thin
cream, at II cents q bottle; two pounds
of butter, at 81 cents a pound, for table
use only; half pound Of oleo, at 16 cents
twenty-eight strictly fresh eggs, at 65
cents dozen, will be required to follow
the menu as arranged, and the approx

Efficiency: These Devices
Tighten HonsezVork
Household Tools

A WOMAN'S time may be
~ worth little or much. There
may be blessings to be wrung
out of continuous drudgery if it cam
not be escaped, but there is no virtue
in drudgery as such if you can make
your "head save your heels" and by
using economical devices for your
household work set the human ma
chine free for work that is more val
liable and varied-work the machine
can't do.
With every industry calling out for
labor and so many war activities de-
pending on woman's work, it is mis-
take in economy for any woman to run
household without proper tools, even
when saving is an important factor.
1t is true economy to put in your
time on the highest grade of work you
can do and leave the routine tasks to
apparatus or shorten them by using
proper tools whenever you possibly
can. This is true, far-sighted econ-
omy, not extravaganza, though it may
call for an initial expenditure. Ten
dollars spent now for vacuum
cleaner or a fireless cooker or some
other piece of household apparatus
may mean $50 saved in the course of
year.
New-York tribune., 1918-03-10

of operating these machines is about two cents
an hour at 10 cent per kilowatt hour rate,
and the washing of the average family can be
done at an expense of five cents week.
For household without electricity, or if
one is unable to afford an electric machine and
yet would like to save time and labor by using
mechanical washer, water-power or hand
washing machine offers an honorable COM
promise as to price and convenience. With
the water-power washer the water pressure
must be at least 40 pounds Here the "dolv''
type is used, but the operation is attained bv
connecting the water motor by hose with the
cold water faucet and permitting the running
water to furnish the power needed to turn
the agitator Most of the hand machines arc
OF the dolly" type but there is one EMPLOYING
the revolving cylinder principle that fits into
the stationary tub. This is particularly de-
slrable where floor space is limited.
for small washings the perforated cone
SNAPPED device, which sets into the wash boiler.
or the vacuum washer (plunger type), which
is worked up and down by hand in small
batch of soaked clothes lightens the labor
materially.
The perforated cone-shaped machine sits
on 1ne bottom OF the wash boiler and is sur
rounded with clothes and water. The fire be-
nea1h converts the water confined in the cone
'n'o steam, which is forced through the clothes
covering the perforations This, with the cir
cuat'on OF water up through the funnel of

actlon' and excellent washing results are pro-
auced. Ihis device is particularly good for
blankets and all SMALL washinrs.

chimes it is we'll to look at the driving mechan-
ism, to make sure that it is inclosed, easily
fabricated and substantially constructed Par
tlcularly note, where there are children in the
household, how carefully the moving parts are
sateguarded from prying little fingers.
A direct gear drive, of course, is the
stronger and more positive since there is no
belt to become slack and if this gearing is in
closed and running in grease abuse by a care
less or ignorant servant is practically i1npos-
sible.
The operation controlling levers should be
simple and readily accessible Also it should
be possible to carry on the wringing and
washing operations separately or together as
desired.
The wringer should have hard rubber rolls
and spiral springs at each end, rather than a
steel spring on top. Steel ball bearings, a
convenient and practical pressure release and
rolls that are reversible in operation are all
advantageous points
The initial cost of an electrical washn,
machine is its greatest expense, but the money
is wisely invested if the matter is thought over
and carefully planned beforehand. The cost
