BRIEF THRIFT
ITEMS
By the u. S. Department
of Agriculture

! Scraps Of leftover meat or fish can
be combined with cereal or other mild
favored food, both to give flavor and
to add nourishment to the total dish.
Stale bread can be utilized In va
riety Of ways in combination with
Vegetables and meats, In preparing
cakes, breads and buildings, and in
other ways.
Much food is thrown away because
80 many people do not know how to
Gtilize leftovers or will not take the
trouble to keep and prepare them.
Leftover cereals can be reheated or
combined with fruits. meats, or vege-
tables into appetizing side dishes.
Even a spoonful Of cereal is worth
Saving to thicken soup. gravy, or
sauce.
Many persons regard the saving of
small amounts Of leftover food as I'M
Important. If they kept accurate ac-
count, however, for any period, many
families would be astounded by the
amount Of good food they are throw
ing out and by the sums that they
are paying to the grocer, the butcher,
Ind rnilkman merely to replace good
food being absolutely wasted.
i
Every bit Of fat trimmed from meat
before cooking or tried out In boiling,
roasting, or broiling can be made use

often the case that after the meat has
been weighed and the price for the

-FOUR milk, also, so often thrown away,
can be used in making hot breads
Or In the home manufacture Of cot
hge cheese.
The efforts which American house
keepers are making to avoid kitchen
and table waste are Of great impor-
lance. No one can tell Just how much
has been saved, but that the amount
