Buy Small Quantities by Weight

peaches are sometimes repacked so
loosely that an extra basket is gained
out Of every five or six so packed
and three and four pounds Of Nal

"Another evil attendant upon re-

Furthermore, miscellaneous stvles
OF containers increase the cost of
marketing, because they increase the
cost OF manufacturing. Breakage in
transit ls often the direct result of
the difficulty of loading odd-sized
containers and adds q large percent
age to this overhead. In fact the de-
velopment Of rapid transportation
and the use Of special refrigerator
and ventilator cars for Distributing
produce all over the United States
helped to bring the question of con-
tanners into prominence. In the davs
when most of the agricultural nrod-
uce was marketed locally the con-

The Consumer Paws
In the last analysis it is a1wavs
the consumer who pays the bills
for inefficient marketing. The house
keeper finds sometimes that two
hampers may look alike and vet hold
different quantities. 1t is puzz)inc
but true. In fact, it is estimated
that one-third of the so-called "half
bushel' hampers manufactured to-
day are short measure. There is =
deceptive hamper in the market that
actually nolds about 1874 quarts
but which looks like 16-ouart

SEVERAL of my favorite one-dist
dinners depend on ths starchy
foods, such as egg noodles, maca-
roni, spaghetti, rice and hominy, for
their start I cook good sized
kettleful, enough to fill large plat
ter, and IN the center heap the part
of the meal which provides the
isn't-it-delicious sensation.
Here is my prize dish. I give you
the best one first 1t Is made Of
sliced onions, sliced sweet peppers,
cut up celery, with the white part
of the top included; quartered fresh
tomatoes and can Of small lima
beans.
If you can lay hands on q few
fresh mushrooms, by all means add
those. Put about a quarter Of g
cup Of olive oil in the frying pan,
and in it fry the onions and the
peppers. When they are half done
add the celery and mushrooms, which
take less time. The tomatoes take
least time of al. When everything
is almost done add the canned lima
beans.
Everything should be cooked
thoroughly, but not enough to lose
its color or crispness. You may
need to add little water toward
the end, but probably you can get

and parsley, hot or cold, is hard to

shad Is especially we'll brought out

appear in but five styles, instead of
twenty-five, if the bill becomes law
The splint basket is of great impor-
