Your Bad Habits
In Buying Account
For Big Food Bills
BY BIDDY BYE.

All food is expensive nowadays-but
our bad habits in buying it, storing it
and cooking ii make our grocery bills
larger than need be.
Here are some simple rules for INTEL
ligent food and money saving:
Inspect the pantry, refrigerator and
storeroom to see what foods are on
hand before going to market to buy
more. Use up the food on hand.
Take care not to buy more perish
able fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy
products or fish than can be used in a
short time. Spoiled food is an ex-
travagance. Buy reasonable quanti-
ties of the foods in season
Carry home all the food paid for
don't leave meat or fish trimmings for
the merchant TO use or throw away.
Bones and fish trimmings make soup
or chowder.
Sort all fruits and vegetables and
use imperfect ones first to prevent
spoilage. Put crisp vegetables in cold
water or near ice TO prevent whiting.
Unwrap meat, lard or butter at once
and store in earthen or china vessels,
cover and keep-cool.
Use air-tight tins to store tea and
coffee and preserve their flavor.
In cooking food do not waste any
by allowing it to burn or scorch.
Study the proper seasoning and flaw
oring of foods so as to make the SIM
plest dishes palatabie.
Save the water in which rice, maca-
roni or vegetables cooked to use in
soups.
Use outside leaves of cabbage, let
tuce and celery for shredded salads or
dry for soup favoring.
Cook apple or other fruit parings for
Jelly.
Use up sour milk for cornbread. or
for salad dressings, or cottage cheese.
Try out all excess poultry or meat
for cooking.
Cook no more food for each meal
than will be eaten. Carefully save
any left-overs and use.

Gracefulness comes naturally to
many women; by many it must be
acquired.
You may have the face of q
Cleopatra, the form of a Venus. but
IL you stand and walk like q coal
HEAVIER, you will never be really
beautiful.
Gracefulness in carriage may be
acquired by practice. Learn first to
stand gracefully. Standing grace
fully means allowing the lines Of
the body to flow from head to feet.
1t means taking the ramrod effect
out of the spinal column. 1t means
avoiding the exaggeration of the
"debutante slou6h" as well as the
rigidity Of a goose-steppins Prus-
sian guardsman. Learn to let your
body bend and yield. Try to realize
that your arms and legs and head
and hands are parts of the same
bodily mechanism; not disassociated
units of an automation.
Learn how to receive things
which people hand you; not to take
them. Learn to lift an object from
a table; not to seize It.
Sometimes lack of grace comes
from inability to exercise proper
muscular control. Bending exercises
in your bedroom at night will help.
Try posing before your mirror in
the nude. Observe the play Of bend
this way or that. See how long you
can stand on tiptoes and balance
yourself. Raise both arms above
your head, grasp one hand in the
other and bend your body from the
waist. as far to the left as you can.
