elements, are vitality necessary for
our. physical growth and well-being.
/ Now, next to knowing what to
buy comes the problem of when and
where to purchase the food. Many
women are attracted to foods which
look nice in the store or market, and
in this way they will frequently pur-
chase some food which they cannot
afford. Do not overbuy; even though
it is possible to turn the leftovers
into palatable dishes. This is par
ticularly true of p~erishable foods, as
they very often cannot be utilized as
leftovers without the additional x
pense Of other purchases to complete
the meal. Therefore, they are a
waste and it is just the same as if
you were throwing money away.
Another explanation Of overbuying
is that frequently one does not re-
alize the actual amount of food that
each individual requires to maintain
the body at par. One and one-quar-
ter pounds of bread or one pound
of oatmeal or cornmeal, together with
one quart of milk or four ounces of
meat; fish or two eggs, together with
one and one-qudrter pounds of vege-
tables, two ounces of butter, two
ounces Of sugar and six ounces of
bread, will supply the average mar
with a daily ration, which will main
tain his weight and keep him physi-
cally fit, even though he is doing
hard, physical labor.
Now, during the coming year we
will keep this subject in mind, plan
ming from time to time to review
and look over our menus, expense
accounts and plans for the months
to come. Right here l want to ask

Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
TT is difficult to tell just what is the
i real reason for the continued popu-
larity of the chemise dress. OF course.
during wartime we all said that 1t was
because the chemise dress was n simple
style, hat was particularly suited to
tine times, But now that the war Is
over. that reason does not hold good.
and the designers continue to produce
the chemise type of dress and the
women adhere to it more than ever be-
fore. 1t Is safe to say that two-thirds
Of the dresses SO far produced far the
coming season are chemise frocks. ~They
are more narrow about the feet than
last season and possibly a little fuller
above, but nevertheless they are chemise
frockS.
In New York the women persist in
wearing these dresses at about ankle
length. but in Paris the women are
wearing their frocks to the top OF their
boots. with the spring things we will
doubtless see n great change on this
side OF the water in the length Of skirts.
I feel that this is bound to happen, ms
we are bound to follow the fashion OF
Paris. whether conscious OF doing SO
or not.
The chemlse dress shown today Is
quite unusual in design and shows an
interesting combination Of serge and
velvaH. which takes us away from the
old idea of serge n satin. The upper
part of the dress Is of the velvet and
in design resembles the Eton jacket.
Four rows of fagoting, done in tan silk.
mark the joining of the velvet with the
serge. Three rows OF the fagoting trim
the straight bell-like sleeve. The fagot-
ing Is also used on the skirt. The girdle
IL of the velvet. A fiat bow on the left
side is finished with two long ends Of
the velvet.
The hat Is of satin. The trimming,
which consists Of braiding. is done In
squares.
Inquiries are solicited and may be

The Wrong and the Right
Things on Which to Econ

Nuriment of Milk
Hoso to Buy Meat to Get the
Greatest Value for the
Amount of Money Spent.
Wisdom OF Fish
Bx IRIS M. A. WILSON

fcoDvrt0at; re, rsst sy M ,,.r, VI T. wilson,
A FTER the holidays most of us
have in mind the reduction Of
household expenses with a view to
economy. Yet many women, when
they begin to economic, will cut
down at once upon meat, eggs, milk
and butter. These four foods always
seem to come in this order in their
schemes of economy.
Fruit, fresh vegetables and vari-
gus other foods that are classed as
high in price are used very sparing-
ly. Quite recently one housewife
wrote me that she felt it good econ
omy to cut down on foods that she
felt were not really essential to the
daily menu.
Now keep this in mind: To keep
the body physically fit and in good
health, it will demand good food
and plenty of it; particularly is this
true of growing children and per
sons doing hard physical labor.
Virtually half of the money spent
in the home is devoted to the pur-
chase of food, and even though the
exorbitant rise in prices has made
this problem a serious one to the
average housewife, I feel that fire.
quently the lack of knowledge of
food and its true value contributes
to help give US less food value per
dollar.
Many women are satisfied to just
get along. hardly caring that fire.
quently they could obtain certain
foods at n much lower cost if they
would be willing to take the time
and trouble to turn them into at
tractive, ~palatable foods.

band discovered that he could do
the same amount of business in a
less expensive Office, how long do
you think it would take him to make
the change? Between you and me,
we will agree that he would move
in a hurry; he would want to elimi-
nate the waste Immediately. Now
it is just the same with you. In
stead of buying expensive foods,
learn to purchase those that will
give you the greatest value for the
money that is spent.
Some of the methods of saving
are to eliminate the expensive chops,
steaks and roasts and to have in
their place the stews, braises, gou-
lashes and potroasts that will supply
your family with the maximum
amount of nutriment for the money
spent.
Fish will be found, by actual test,
to be cheaper than meat, and if it is
placed twice a week upon the menu,
nicely cooked and served, the family
will be delighted.
Milk is still the cheapest and best
of protein foods, and yet if you ask
the average person how much milk
he or she drinks, they will inform
you that milk is for babies and chill
dren. Yet a quart of high-grade
creamery milk at the cost of eight
G or twenty cents per quart, is far
cheaper and more wholesome than
sirloin steak at fifty cents per pound.
Milk also contains other valuable
nutriments. Besides the protein, it
contains large amounts of mineral
salts. These, together with the vi
tamines, which are the li~fe-giving
