Those whose birthday it is may have
an interesting year, calling for the most
discreet management. A child born on

Monday promises to be a day for initia-

Saving Food and Money Safely.
The scientific study of food in its rela-

bounds in recent years. Among other
agencies the Life Extension Institute.
under distinguished patronage, has car
ried forward this notable movement.
And it is from this organization that
the following advice-the rules of saw
ing and safety-by Prof. Lusk, comes
with added emphasis:
Let no family (of i've persons) buy
meat until it has bought three quarts OF
| milk-the cheapest protein Cbody build
ing) food.
Save cream and butter and eat oleo-
margarine and vegetable oils. Olive oil
or cottonseed oil, taken with cabbage.
lettuce or beet tops. Is excellent food, in
many ways initiating milk.
Eat meat sparingly. rich and poor. Ia
borer and indolent alike. Meat does not
increase the muscular power. When q
person is exposed to great cold. meat
may be recommended, for Il warns the
body more than any other food. In gen.
eral, twice as much meat IL used as is
now right. for to produce meat requires
much fodder which might better be used
for milk production.
Eat corn bread and oatmeal.
Take no alcoholic drinks.
Eat corn syrup on cereals. It will save
the sugar Eat raisins in rice and other
puddings. for raisins contain sugar.
Eat fresh fish.
Eat fruit and vegetables.
To this we may add the special car-
ton laid down by cCollun-wherever
grains and cereals form the mainstay Of
the diet the green leaves of plants are
required to make the diet complete and
we'll balanced.
With this advice firmly held in mind
by every housewife the safe and saw
ing food problem Is met, for 1t merely
requires the ada agitation of these rules"
to individual family requirements to
solve it.
