RULES FOR THE FAMILY
WHEN WAR PRICES PREVAIL
Milk

/. Set aside enough money to buy !
quart Of milk each day for each child
and onc-third of quart for each adult
Cheese will do for adults in place of
milk-scant ounces cheese for one.
third quart milk. Skim milk has nour.
ishment for grown persons, but not so
good for children. If anyone has to
90 without milk it must not be the
children.
2. Buy two to three ounces of some
fat for each person. Children who are
getting a quart of whole milk day do
not need much other fat.
Sugar
j. Buy only enough sugar to make
your meals palatable; it is not needed
for food. One and one-half ounces, Or
about three level tablespoons daily of
sugar, honey, molasses or syrup for
each person is enough. Not more than
one ounce of this should be in the form
of sugar. Spending more than neces.
sary for sugar when the purse is low
cuts off the family from other food
more nourishing.
Fresh Vegetables
4. Serve each day potatoes and one
other vegetable-cabbage, onions, car.
rots, turnips, beets or the like. Chill
rem may have daily two or three medi-
nm sized potatoes and one-fourth pound
or more of some other vegetable.
Grown people may eat about twice as
much vegetable as the above.
Cereals
B. Buy no more wheat than the food
administration directs. For other cerc-
ais use rolled oats, pin head oatmeal,
cornmeal, hominy, barley rice and
buckwheat,
Fruits
D. Give every member Of the family
little fruit every day. Apples. fresh
or dried, dried prunes, and raisins are
among the cheapest fruits.
Varied Diet
7, All that is necessary to keep the
family alive and well is told in the
above list Of foods; more may be spent
to give variety and flavor to the meals.
If the family purse allows, meat may be
added for the grown people, more may
he spent for milk. cream, butter, cheese,
fruits, vegetables, fats and sweets, and
eggs for the whole family.
