HOME DEMONSTRATION WORK

HOME DEMONSTRATION WORK
New Project Starting.
Miss Lydia Potter, home demon
stration agent leader, has been spend
ing several days in conference with
Miss Goddard. Miss Goddard has
some very fine plans for this years
work. One of the features is new
project for social life. This project
may be carried out in any community,
along with others. The social life
consists of games and entertainments
for New Years, Leap Year, Valen-
tines, Washington's Birthday, st. Pat
rick's day, April LIST, May baskets,
June boxes, July 4th, Bennington day,
Labor day, harvest socials, Halloween,
Thanksgiving and Christmas; re-
freshments and dinners at Grange
meetings, church socials, birthday and
surprise parties, engagement show
ers, wedding anniversaries and picnic
lunches
Every community has a time when
it comes to having something differ
emit for Grange supper, or Mary's
birthday party-always something
new is needed. If you are interested
in this phase of the work show your
interest in it when Miss Goddard
comes to your meeting.
Eat More Vegetables.
Vegetables will never taste any
better than they do now even though
you can them in, the very best and
approved method. Serve vegetables
as many times day as is possible.
Meat is necessary only once a day for
few men, although they think they do
not like salads, will object to eating a
we'll prepared salad.
/ Vegetable hash baked in the oven,
is a very fine supper dish for cool
fall evening. Cabbage salad made
from raw cabbage is one of the most
easily digested foods. Why not serve
it more often along with other
things? Vegetable soups are always
good and are easily made, put all
kinds of vegetables into: them. Eat
many vegetables now, when it comes
next spring you'll wish you'd eaten
more this fall.
Is Your Home Attractive?
Save your old newspapers, maya
zines, ETC., but don't save them to pile
them in the kitchen chairs and on
the corner of the kitchen table. Bet
ter take them to the woodshed, they'll
be there when you want them. Chairs
are too good to be used for newspa-
pers. The kitchen should be arrang-
ed for the convenience of the house
keeper, and not for the convenience
of the person in the family who
thinks he'd better save last years
seed catalogue. This is a good pol
icy to follow in other rooms as well
as the kitchen. 1t is SO easy to save
things. Many times it would save as
much worry and work if we discarded
few worthless things. Make your
rooms attractive with what you have
furniture. The simpler the furniture
the better it is suited to it's purpose
| Cut the fringe off the doilies and
chair protectors, see how much dain.
tier they look, neatly hemmed arti-
Gle is much more appealing to the
eye. Brilliant colors in room decora-
lions are confusing to the eye-plain
dull colors wear better and will make
the whole room better in appearance
There are many easy and inexpensive
methods of reviving furniture. JUS
tell your home demonstration agen
about your worn out things, perhap.

A Bald Head.
Who Knows Anything About It?
Who doesn't consider a bald head
menace? What does cause them any
way? Perhaps it's the diet-here i
a question that will interest both mel
and women. Perhaps it's a question
of methods of shampooing, perhap
it's ventilation; anyway let's see
we can't do something to proven
that menace. Hats that fit the hea
too closely cause poor circulatio
which retards and hinders the growt
of the hair One should go withou
a hat as much as possible in order t
have the hair receive the benefit o
the air and sunlight. If this is i'm
possible, after a shampoo the hal
should be dried out in the open an
in the sunlight.
If the diet is an improper one tn
body is not in it's best condition an
cannot function properly. The ski
is the first to show wrong food, an
then the hair loses it's gloss and be
gins to fall. This condition shout
not go unheeded, but should be tax
en- as warning and proper precau
tions should be taken to prevent e1
cess of falling hair.
What Shall I Wear?
At the present Gin between the sea
sons" time the perpetual question c
"What shall 1 wear?" keeps comm
up. Of course, the top coat is yer
much in evidence to wear with ligl
and silk dresses.
There are not as many suits, as "
call suits, seen-but the suit dres
When we wear the old-time suit an
go away where it is too warm to kee
the coat on, we feel conspicuous b.
cause we are not dressed up enough
Of course, this would be different
we had waist to match in color wit
the suit, but, the usual white wal:
makes too much of a contrast.
Just cut off the top of the skirt,
finding the measurement two inche
below the hip bone. The matters
