Nuts and Halloween are synony-
" nous and in the present weeks
menus a special Halloween sup
per is given, while many appetizing nut
dishes are featured during the entire
week.
The housekeeper who must figure on
q limited household budget should know
that the peanut, almond and Brazil mt
are valuable for their protein and fat,
and that cupful of shelled peanuts
and almonds contain respectively TT
and 035 heat units.
Chestnuts are richer in starches (they
contain about 81 per cent of protein
and about the same amount Of fat) and
may frequently take the place of pota-
toes, as in the menu for Saturdays
dinner. Remember, however, to cook
them WELL for all sturchy foods need
cooking to render them digestible.
Chestnuts and peanuts cost less than
any of the other varieties of nuts and
should therefore be used more generally.
The former, however, do not keep in
definitely and unless the family is
large one they should not be purchased
in large quantities.

Cost Of
Operation

The cost Of operation. based on a
0-cent rate for electricity, is is
cents an hour for motor s.!one: with
he tub in motion the cost is 2 cents
an hour; with the wringer also the
cost is 2.25 cents an hour. Since
the New York rate is 7 cents, and one
charge is handled in Is minutes
the weeks washing and wringins
for family Of four would probably
average 2 cents, with constant wor},
and care in turning off the power
when it is not in use.
Even satin, lnce trimmed lingerie
can be confded to the Blue Bird
Washer with happy results. The

possibility Of tangling or tearing

The Lord created cats, l presume.
He knew if they were needed, and if
He had thought tags necessary, tags
