FOOD RESTRICTIONS
 LESS IN ENGLAND

London, Jan. -(Correspondenc of The Associated Press) s)-England' s wartime food restrictions are slowly but gradually disappearing. Early in the new year the sugar ration was raised to 12 ounces. Lard is now ob talnable without coupon, all restric- tions are removed from the making and selling of sweet pastries and cakes, as we'll as the restriction on afternoon teas in restaurants and teashops. Fancy bread is still for bidden but white bread is now sup piled to hotels and private houses, while white flour is obtainable al most anywhere.
 Stocks of food in London are In creasing daily. More than 10000 tons Of wheat are under discharge at the docks, meat is arriving by the ship load, thousands of boxes of oranges, nuts and apples are arriving and more are afioat
 Tea appears to be in greater sup ply than demand and people are be- ing urged to buy Sugar stocks in London alone total 10000 tons in public, and 10000 tons in private warehouses.

NEW COMBINATIONS.

Duvetyn and satin are smartly combined in a new frock that shows a deep hem section of duvetyn, above which ia satin. There are straps of the duvetyn reaching upward almost 10 the waist and they are 60 laid on that they look much like velvet rib bon.
 Brown and turquoise form one of tSle newest smart color combinations. Brown is coming in for many inter esting treatments this year, but per haps it never looks fresher and crisp CT than when combined with bright blue. Of course, only an expert in color combination could choose just the shades of brown and blue that look well together.
 Brown and gold are well used to- gether. One new hat especially. Is worth while. It is made with a foundation of brown tulle, very dark, and the thin sIoping br!m Is enliyen- ed with bits of gold lace, There is a biz brown tulle bow at the front with just touch of sable in the knot.

THE BACHELOR GIRL.

The bachelor girl who keeps house on @ miniature scale wants home comforts with minimum of expense and work. She must plan her little domestic routine, so that it does not take too much time or energy, for otherwise it will infringe upon her work or recreation hours,
 To get the early morning start con- duclve to good work and good spirits all day her housekeeping work must be arranged so that nothing will hin der her. The best way to get this comfortable early start is to prepare the night before! If any clothing needs laundering, mending or press ing, this should be the first of the evening tasks, for if clothes are ready to wear In the morning break fast can be taken out if any unfor- seen delay arises.
 However. breakfast can easily be planned the night before The table should be set and all the dishes washed of course beforehand E cad may be sliced all ready to toast, fruit placed on the table; coffee, tea or cocoa measured out and placed in the pot ready to boil. If a cooked cereal is preferred the fireless cooker is the thing for the business girl, for it allows a thorough cooking all night while she sleeps. 4 cereal that must be cooked over a flame is apt to rush the process of dressing or eating and be underdone besides.

Beauty Ways to Keep Your Normal Weight

tween meals should be stopped. Exces- sive body weight is frequently caused by this extra eating. Candy is the chief offender. If you partake of enough food at your regular meals and in addition indulge in two or three pounds of candy week the result may be a constant gain. It will not take long for such an indulgence to result in a condition of overweight detrimental to both your health and appearance.
 Perhaps the simplest Of all means of reducing is the elimination Of one Of your regular meals. This should be either luncheon or breakfast. If this omission creates too great a craving for food at the former meal hour, you may indulge 1t to the extent of partalsing of acid fruits or light beverages, such as weak tea or fruit juices.
 Another principal ingredient that will materially assist in apPeasing your hun ger and decreasing the quantity of food taken is the habit of thorough mashca- ton. Eat slowly. taEing your food in small bites, and chew each m0uthful without the addition of liquid. until the food is thoroughly iiquifed with saliva You will be surprised to find how quick ly your appetite may be satisfied on small quantity of food.
 Lean Meats and Vegetables.
 Those who would reduce by dieting, frequently complain that the instruc-

l tions given are ali restrictions. You have been told that you mustn't cat this 1 and must indulge in that until you prob 1 ably feel there's nothing lat that you
 may eat. But this isn't true. Lean meats may be used quite freely In reducing diet. Whenever possible have them broiled instead of fried In fats. Lean meats In the portions or dinarfly served will rarely add to the rat-giving properties of the diet aufd- cientIy to be g menace to the success of reducing diet.
 With the meat dishes may be served s list Of vegetables, which offer So loFy a proportion of fat-building units they may be safely included in the diet.
 Vegetables that have few fattenins properties are artichokes, asparagus. string beans, beets, cabbage. cau1ifiower, celery, cucunbers, egg plant, lettuce, mushrooms. onions, squash. radishes, spinach, tomatoes and turnlps. These vegetables yield ample mineral elements and organic acids, so that one partaking of a diet in which they're included need have no fear of injury to the health while reducing.
 There is an even longer list of fruits which you may eat wirh fat-reducina Giet. Melons. cantaloupes, berries and all kinds Of acid fruits. such as oranges, grapefruit. pears, peaches, plums and cherries r7ay be literally used in youl reducing Get

KINDS
 OF SALT FISH

Although when one speaks of salt fish" the mind Of the uninitiated at once reyerts to cod or hake, many other fish such as mackerel shad, salmon, whiting and herring may be purchased salt It is customary, how ever, to salt such fish in brine, in stead of drying them as is done with cod and similar fish.
 Here are five good ways of cooking brine -salted fish:
 Baked salt fish: Put the fish in a pan, cover with cream or rich milk, and place in the oven Cook until cream is brown. About five minutes
 before it is dished, add small piece
 of butter and some pepper. Broiled salt fish: Dry the fish care- fully and butter; lay the fish in the ! broiler and broil a nice brown. Lay on q heated platter and pour over it a tablespoonful of butter mixed with a Iteaspoonful of lemon juice or vim egar, a tablespoonful of boiling wa
 ter, a pinch of black pepper, and a | tiny sour gherkin or cucumber pickle minced fine.
 Boiled salt fish: Boil from to h 1-2 pounds Of fish 10 minutes or un- 1 til meat leaves the bone. Serve with
 boiled potatoes.
 | Creamed salt fish: Wipe the fish 1 dry and broiI until well done, but not
 too brown. Lay on hot platter:
 make a cup of cream sauce; season
 with salt, pepper and a little pap
 rlka. Just before pouring over the
 fish, which should have the bones
 removed, add to the sauce a we'll
 beaten egg and a little lemon juice.
 Do not let the sauce stand after add | ing the egg and lemon.
 | Piekled salt fish: Pour boiling Wa eter over the fish and let it stand 1a
 minutes; drain off, and then pour on
 boiling vinegar with cloves and mace 1 a,dded
