THE HOUSEHOLD
Making use of Sausage.
Edited by ANNE RITTENHoUsE


The fact that the ban has been
lifted from pork products for the time
being puts sausage back on the larder
shelf. Altho We are not especially
urged to eat meat of any sort, We have
been told by the food administration
that pork products are more plentiful
than they were and are less necessary
of immediate conservation than beef
products.
We Americans have perhaps never
fully appreciated the possibilities of
sausage. Like cheese, we have had
very simple ideas about 1t. To most
Americans, you know, cheese means
usually either the regular variety of
American cheese or else cottage
cheese. And sausage usually means
farm sausage, either loose or in link.
We forget carvelat, Genoa, Lyons.
Mortadella, Salami and the rest-all
distinct in flavor and excellent in their
particular way.
One peculiar advantage about sau-
sage in any economy regime is that
there is no waste about it. and that
with a little dry sausage on hand you
can always have just enough meat
flavor in your meal to satisfy your
palate without ever running over your
quota of meat. One or two slices of
dry sausage, with a nice salad of some
sort. makes an excellent summer meal
that has the advantage of being nearly
meatless without tasting that way.
Then in many sorts of meat substitute
dishes there is great advantage in
giving just a little meat flavor, and
few kinds of dry sausage on hand. In
making deviled eggs, the addition of a
little sausage gives the desired flavor
ing and taste of meat.

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspicuous
thing about us and is probably the
most easily damaged by bad or care
less treatment. If we are very care
full in hair washing. we will have vir-
tually no hair troubles. An especially
fine shampoo for this weather. one
that brings out all the natural beauty
of the hair; that dissolves and entirely
removes al ldandruff, excess oil and
dirt; can easily be used at trifling ex-
pense by simply dissolving teaspoon
full of Canthrox which you can get at
any druggist's) in cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo IL
quid-enough SO 1t is easy to apply Ii
to all the hair instead of just the top
of the head. This chemically dissoIves
all impurities and creates a soothing,
cooling 1ather. Rinsing leaves the
scalp spotlessly clean. soft and plant.
while the hair takes on the glossy
richness of natural color, also fulfil
ness which makes 1t seem much heav-
fer than II is. After Canthrox sham
poo. arranging the hair is a pleasure

Reasons for Accepting Outside Biouses
1t does not seem to be in the least
impaired by its humiliation. 1t rises
to the modern battle for supremacy
with a triumphant air of never having
failed.
1t has at last appealed to the aver
age woman as a sensible substitute for
the white wash shirtwaist. She has
always insisted that she cannot wear
the outside blouse with a coat suit, but
her arguments have fallen flat this
summer.
The modern waistcoat, which Is
adapted from older days, is a sleeve
less outside blouse in itself. and Paris
has made coats sufficiently long to
accommodate it, which is a turnover
from the regular routine of things.
Another reason for the comfort of
the outside blouse is that separate
skirts are as popular as tho they had
just been invented 1t is true that in
other days We wore the shirtwaist,
with its marked waistline, with a sep
arate skirt, but today the popular dis
