"Carelessness about butter Is com- mon American sin against thrift. In nearly every family some member has the habit of taking huge helpings of butter which he or she does not use. The remedy is simple. Cut slices of the Oblong pound of butter quarter of. m inch thick, and cut each slice into four pieces. When the butter is served, each member of the family take one small piece at time. It sounds like q small economy, but 1t Is one which careful city housewives have .Dracticed for years.-Farm and Preside.
