DO not discard your cid iron and

TO Miss Jean Kruger Of the depart

,Iron utensils are excellent for

cooking" SAYS Miss Kruger.
She offers these hints for the
housekeoper: Keep iron utensils dry
and brightly polished, for a polished.
rust-free surface rusts much less
readily than a rough and spotted one.
Water and air cause rusting. A sec
ond precaution is to cover the iron
with oil. melted wax, vaseline or
stove polish. These serve as tenn
porary covering for tools and knives
before putting them away. Paint is
good for outdoor hardware, such as
flower pots. Japan lacquer baked on
and polished is a satisfactory cover
ing. Enamel is also an excellent per-
manent covering. 1t resists the ac-
ton of acid and alkaline foods, and
also air and water. 1t cracks, how
ever. If subjected to shocks or to
rapid heating or cooling, and then the
iron becomes exposed.
The simplest and easiest way to
clean enamel, she says. is to wash it
with soap and water. Securing soaps
or powders should not be used, as
they may cut through the enamel
and leave the iron uncovered.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
-
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make 1t at
home. which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask ut any
drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe i'm
proved by the addition Of other ingre-
dents. at very little cost. Everybody
uses this preparation now, because no
one can possibly tell that you dark
eued your hair, as it does 1t so nat
urally and evenly. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair. taking one
small strand at a time: by morning the
gray hair disappears. and after anoth-
err applicable or two, your hair De,
comes beautifully dark. thick ana
glossy and you look years younger

Washington State Adopts Big Child
Feeding Campaign

twenty-five counties in the State of
Washington will concentrate this fa,l
on special nutrition work for under
! weight children and their parents.
under the supervision of home dem
onstration agents. Demonstrations
of the best methods of bringing
nndc'wei2ht children up to normal
weight will be given and will be
closely correlated with hot school
lunch and supplementary nutrition
demonstrations
The interest in child feeding has
been due largely to tho statistics that
have been accumulated during the
past few years indicating that a large
numh"l Of American children Of
school and pre- school age are under
weight for their height. This con-
dltion apparently bears no relation to
the prosperity of the community or
tC tho financial or social status of the
family. Irregular habits. late and
hurried breakfasts. cold. unpal2rable,
and poorly selected lunches. DELAYED
chores. late hours. lack of sufficient
CaNtlme rest, and the common use of
tea and coffee are contributing causes
TO this very prevalent condition OF
malnutrition.
The plan in Washington State is to
organize nutrition groups in individ-
ual communities unit a suffic' mt
number of nutrition workers and pro-
]ect leaders are trained for county
and State wide work. The ccoptr
ton of the county nurse is secured to
weigh and measure all the children
selected for such demonstrations.
The children are examined By the
nurse for defects. Then the pererts
of the children chosen are asked to
sign agreements as home demonstra-
tors to carry on the instructions given
in the home.
Eight weeks are devoted to inten-
sive work. Parents and children meet
with the project leader each week
then for three months the progress
of each child is carefully followed
through monthly consultations with
the parents, including weighing and
measuring. A daily rest period, the
use of at least 3 pints of milk daily,
elimination of tea and coffee, and
adherence to a diet recommended by
the home demonstration agent. are
the main elements in the systematic
procedure for brir ing underweight
children up to normal.

The necessity for some sort OF farm

for their own informal ton but to meet
