Il great reader and L notice much beiug
written about saving to help win the
war Many receipts given Tor cooking
Chings in a cheap way are more en-
pensive than should be used at the
present time. Too much shortening,
ahd sugar to be wholesome, even in
DAYS OF plenty. Very little grease of
any kind is really needed in cooklue
anything Of corn meal, and it is a dish
lit for a king with no sugar at all when
our home-grouud meal is used, prepared
in the good old southern way with
voda, mix and eggs, cooked quickly,
using only enough grease to keep L
from sticking TO pans, and to make the
cru-t crisp and good
When l do go out anywhere l notice
the way the young women are dressing.
Whoever saw as much silk being worn
as now? Girls who are in the most
modest circumstances are wearing ela5-
crate silks, costly shoes and the most
expensive hats / know that a good
part of them are to be paid for in the
fall out of this years crop They are
not one bit like their grandmotherS OF
65. who spun and wove their own
dresses and looked so neat and pretty
in them. Get the spirit o. 90, girls,
and then you will be able to really heIb
win the war. Of course, you can spin
ana weave your III CSoNS, DNN $500
wear simpler dresses and wear them
longer. which will be about the same.
Neatness goes much farther than so
much dowdy eXpenSiVenesS. NO man
wants a clothes rack for VIE; ne
wants a sensible woman VINO can look
neat in a simple wash dress. Ihen ne
is sure she will grace anything hher
when he is able to get 1t for her. 6e
saving first and then you will be glad
u
at some dresses. l asked the price OF
one simple little frock. 1t was thirty
dollars, and two wears in the country
would have put it out of commission.
1t would have looked like a scarecroW'
while for ten dollars each could nave
got three nice washable dresses ana
have made them up by some pretty
pattern. got at the same store, and had
three dresses that would have lasted
all summer.
Our president has asked the people 10
save gasoline, not to use too much' not
To use it idly / live in the country,
away off from any city, yet some days
as many as 100 automobiles pass my
door. Many people are just running
up and down the road to be riding, that
is all.
I know of a number of cars bought
on credit Some man holds papers over
everything the buyer possesses TIL ne
can work and earn enough to repay
them That doesn't help Uncle Sam
Friends, let's all save our own garden
seed this year. | am saving enough
for self and some to sell to those who
prefer the bought seed. l have bushels
of Lookout Mountain seed potatoes now
on hand to sell at planting time and
have an immense quantity of salad seed,
several kinds of turnips, two kinds of
mustard and beautiful curled kale all
mixed ready to sow in September for
winter use. L am going to put in our
state farm bulletin that I'll give to ak
who will send postage for them. I
want TO help every one l can to have
something green in their garden this
winter. 1t saves and is so healthy.
Now, ! want a favor. Who has four
o'clocks of the varigated kind having
red and yellow on the same bush, even
on same flower? I had them, but lost
seed. If anyone has them, please write
to me. l am anxious to get them
again.
If anyone is so unlucky as to gei
bitten by snake, give one teaspoonful
of powdered alum every twenty min
utes till three doses are taken This
Is sure cure I have seen il used
and know it is.
