Dinner QUESTION
never GETS old
Good, Satisfying Meal Whole
Family Enjoys Is Wanted.
COMBINATIONS ARE IN FAVOR
Something Hot, Savory, Easy to Cook
and Serve Is Always in Order
Three Recipes Given to Help
Busy Housewife.

"What shall we have for dinner?"-
the daily question that never grows
old. Well, you want a good, satisfying
meal which the whole family will en-
joy. 1t must be cheap and easy to
cook and must supply what your bodies
need to help you grow, and to help you
work or play and keep warm. And, if
the spirit of wal sacrifice abides in
your household, the meal should reflect
your food saving efforts.
People of all nations have used COM
binations a foods cooked together in
one dish. Perhaps you can remember
such dinners in your grandmother's
home. Why not renew the custom and
serve your family with a nutritious
one-dish dinner occasionally, for vari-
ETY. at least? For such a dinner you
might serve a fish chowder. Here it is,
q dinner in n dish, sure enough. This
one, and the others hat follow, makes
enough for five persons:
Fish chowder.
III lbs. fresh fish, 2 cupfuls carrots,
(cod, paddock, cut in pieces.
etc.) or q ID. salt u ID. salt pork.
or dried fish. 5 cupfuls milk.
9 potatoes peeled Is teaspoonful pep

pieces. tablespoonfuls flour.
! onion sliced.
Cut pork in small pieces and fry with
the chopped onion for five minutes. Put
pork, onions, carrots and potatoes in
kettle and W with boiling water.
Cook until vegetables are tender. Mix
three tablespoonfuls of -four with one
half cupful of the cold milk and stir
in the liquid in the pot to .thicken it.

the gross maximum profit for
wholesalers in flour should not
exceed from so to rs cents per
barrel. The profit to retail deal
ers in original mill packages
should not exceed from 80 cents
to $1.20 per barrel, depending
upon the character of service
performed. Where retailers sell
