How | Economic in Cooking

I've found that beginning a meal
with a tempting little hOrs d'oeuvre
isn't the extravaganza it seems, but
is really an economy, because
they're really SO inexpensive, and if
flavor them with Jim's favorite
Al Sauce, it puts him in a good
humor right at the start, and he
doesn't eat nearly SO much meat,
which is bad for him, if he's had
something else first.
The other night we began the
meal with q delicious appetizer, con-
sisting of a piece of toast cut round
with q slice of tomato on it and a
strip of herring across the top.

These five reasons ares
1. The War Task Of the Red Cross is
Not Yet Fully Performed.
To men still in service, and to their
families at home. to discharged sol
liers not yet fully adjusted to the
routine Of civilian life, to 10000 boys
suffering or convalescing in Military
'r Naval hospitals, the American peo
9le still give cheer, comfort and serv-
ce through their Red Cross.
In certain portions OF the Old World
he American Red Cross still feeds
nd clothes the undernourished and
aged babies, cares for the aged and
he infirm, and assists the people of
hese disease-ridden, famine-stricken,
Tar-ravaged countries TO organize
heir own resources. Since the sign
lg of the Armistice, this work has
teadily declined, but it is not by any
leans fully completed.
