Care in Handling Food
and Preventing Waste

What care do you give your food
supply after it has arrived at your
home? To me, writes Helen Harring-
ton Downing, on Saving at Home"
that is an important question and one
that has a strong bearing on thrift.
have been very much impressed in my
dealings with several of the national
food producers where products are
handled commercially, with minute at
tention given to their choice of foods,
the care in preparing and the scien-
tifc accuracy In cooking them.
They have found it necessary to
study all these things to insure best
quality and the most economical re-
suits. In handling foods commercially
a waste in food value augments the
cost Of food production, and should
therefore be reduced to the smallest
degree.
How does expert care In the COM
mercial kitchen compare with that gen.
orally given food products in the aver
age home?
Various elements contribute to spoil
our food. Heat. air, sunlight and prop

the previous silhouettes. Indeed, the
slow catching on Of the fall and win
ter tnnovations-it is only recently
that the new styles have become really
popularized-may be laid to the inhar-
monious blending Of the early fall con-
ceptions Of the hat with the balance
Of the costume.
The elemental soundness of the
cloche was an important factor in the
compromise of this conflict.
Nevertheless, the important fact
about the winter millinery is that the
cloche dynasty has ended, and while
1t is true that milady has been some
what chary in making any radical
departures from it, it is also true that
the mode now sanctions a variety Of
types, and one may be quite en- regle
with even the highest crowned direc-
toire, If it is sufficiently becoming.
Generally the more radical species are
not fattering for the reasons stated
above, and that is why the progeny of
the cloche survive, although the cloche
itself has passed.

err temperature are conducive to the
growth Of food products and also to
their proper preservation, but the spoil
age of foods Is often caused by
exposure to dust, air, too much light,
heat or cold.
Air carries DUST and dust contains
organisms which attack food and
cause decay. This is one very good
reason why food products should not
be exposed to dust in stores.
The housewife who does her own
marketing must not feel that her task
is finished when she puts her basket
on the kitchen table. The food must
be properly put away and prepared for
cooking and serving. The woman who
orders by telephone must take care
that there is some one at home to
receive the purchases when delivered
to make sure that the products are
all of the quality and brand ordered,
and to intelligently put them away
until the time Of using.

ClocI1e Influence
Still Holds I Sway
Close-Fitting Type Not TO Be
Lost in Winter and
Spring Modes.

The clOche complex has been dissi
pated The Paris modiste has finally
succeeded in shattering the three-year
tradition Of nothing but the cloche"
and that little beIl-shaped affair no
longer graces the smartest colts. Yet,
says fashion writer in the New York
Herald-Tribune, it would be patiently
overstating the case to say that the
cloche theme has disappeared from
the millinery armament and it is be-
yond question that a measure of its In
huence shall prevail during the pres
ent winter and the coming spring.
How large that measure is, and it's
relative Importance to the newer
shapes, can be gauged from cursory
survey of the mode in general
The beginning of the autumn sea-
son witnessed several fundamental In
novattons in the style situation. The
undertaking straightline was being
gradually supplanted by any one of
several types of the 1are-the skirt
was essentially shorter and the mo-
notony Of the cloche had been happily
Interrupted by higher crowns and
larger brims. There were other
changes, of course, but these are the
only points of departure which con-
cern the chapeau.
View these few tendencies with an
esthetic eye and you will begin to
appreciate the dilemma Of milady.
Modiste and couturIer, recognizing
that art connotes progress as we'll as
beauty, had triumphantIy offered her
fashions that were entirely new con-
ceptions, and as she reached her hand

She was about to apprise them of her
presence when a remark attracted her
attention sharply
ITS raw deal, Sharp!" spoke one
of the men.
'That's the kind that pays, isn't it,
Marv1n?" and Nellie instantly knew
that the speakers were the expected
clients of her employer.
"Yes, But if it's found out-about
that letter, you know"

us richly for 1t. That's our business

there was a rustling of paper. "There's
a sample of some of the prime stuff
under that forty acres"
In flash Nellie comprehended the
plot in motion. What should she do?
Mercer was five hundred miles away.
She had only surmise to go on. The
office boy coming in announced her to
the visitors. They stated their busi-

time, for advice! Then, self-reliant lit
tie business woman that she was, she
prepared the deed the men asked for,
executed it and received the two
thousand. Messrs. Marvin & Sharp
marched off jubilantly to record the
deed. Nellie nearly collapsed when
she tried to realize the bold, defiant
thing she had done.
The men had left what looked like
a lump of clay behind them. 1t was
the specimen they had talked about.
From one of the professors up at the
college Nellie learned that it con-
tanned a rare substance known as Gre
solite, employed in blasting furnaces
to- fuse metal.
Then Nellie waited, expecting an ex-
plosion every day. Having secured
their deed the schemers were taking
their leisure One day Mr. Mercer ap-
peared.
"By the way, Miss Ward" he spoke,
after warm, friendly greeting, II no.

'Yes, sir" replied Nellie, her breath
coming quick, Il sold it to those

"But they were to have the upland
acres"
"They think they have got them,"
explained Nellie "They are swindlers,
for they intercepted a letter offering
you a large amount. Oh, Mr.. Mercer!
1 have tried to protect you. 1 hope l
have not done wrong" and, bursting
into tears, Nellie told all.
"You are going to blame mel" she
scbbed, as she looked up to find his
eyes fixed upon her.

Wis Mercer II need a guardian, as
you have proved. Miss Ward-Nellie,

"Copital" Us. "CapitaLisn,"

Capitalism must not be confounded
with the accumulation and use of CAPT
tai. This is very common mistake
made by the masses. Capitalism means
operation of industry and commerce
for profit, while capital represents the
result of years Of thrift and self-re-
straint. AS self-gratif1cation is at the
bottom of capitalism, so self sacrifice
is the basis of capital.-Roger Babson.

packages in a hurry-string or ribbon

"Td like to be paid in pennies" said
Mahalia

her daddy.
II will give you penny day If
you eat piece of bread at each meal
without a FUSS" said her mother, "and
If you eat two pieces of bread 1 will
give you two cents" Mahalia did not
like bread
Her uncle told her he had an old
desk which he hadn't time to clean
out, and he had always told her aunt
that he would be doing it himself some
time so she shouldn't bother about it.
But now, he said, if Mahalia would
take all the papers and put them to-
gether, and all the elastic bands in
another pile and all the pencils with
out points in another and the ones
with points In still another, and put
everything nicely sorted and arranged
on a table nearby and then dust the
desk in every corner thoroughly, he
would give her lots Of pennies.
II will go over the papers then and
throw away what I don't want, and

Her uncle told her that she could do
it between supper time and bedtime,
and then it would not interfere with
the work she was going to do for her
daddy.
Her aunt told her that when she
got through with the work for her
uncle she could spend several evenings
fixing up work baskets about the
house.
"The threads and pieces Of silk are
all mixed up. They're all in a tangled
mass. l shall be delighted to see them
in order"
Her grandmother told her that if she
would come over and brush off the
front steps each morning before she
went up to the store she would get
pennies for that.
"Of course the snow would be too
heavy for you, but it would be a great
help at this time to have the steps
done, for we're so busy with cooking
that we haven't time"
Well, as you can see. Mahalia had a
busy time of it. But they all saw
that she didn't overdo. She loved the
work Of course she wouldn't have
cared to have been busy like that all
the year.
But in the holidays before Christmas
when everyone was SO busy, anyway,
it was fun to be busy.

mobile, when it drew up at the curb
on a main thoroughfare in johann

Made Three Other Records
Not only did the Studebaker estab-
lish a new round trip record around
the Union, but 1t also shattered three
other records between points along
the course. Notable among these was
the new running time of 50 hours and
81 minutes between this city and

Gasoline consumption averaged 2I5
