during each month, try this plan, sug-
gested by the bureau Of home eco
Monies Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture: Get out the bills
for the same month last year, and
divide the total by the number of
days in that month. Divide again by
the number of persons in the family.
What is the result? Forty cents? Fiji
ty cents? Sixty cents? This is the
approximate cost of feeding one per-
son for one day at your standard Of
living. If there were many changes
in the makeup of the household for
the month you are analysing, you may
prefer to credit each person with the
number of days he or she ate meals
and divide the total food cost by the
total number Of person-days. The re-
suit will be similar to the other figure.
1t you have no records make the best
guess you can, and when you make
next months food budget revise the
estimate as necessary.

1t should have, and most Of the

When you give the attic it's annual
turning out you may see some shiny
little flat insects darting here and
there, especially near books and cloth
ing and other stored articles. They
are silverfish or slickers, which dam
age textiles such as cotton, rayon, OR
silk fabrics by eating the size or fin
ish, if it contains starch, glue, or gum.
This insect likes dark place where
it can live undisturbed. Frequent use

Giles is the best protection against de-

Silverfsh may be easily poisoned by
spreading poisoned paste on card
boards. The girls in the illustration
are preparing poisoned paste to use in
this way. The poison is made by ad-

to half cupful of paste made from
flour and boiling water. Care must
be taken to destroy all leftover paste
and to cleanse the dishes and brushes
used in preparing the paste and the
boards. Put the cardboards where
children cannot get them.

Checking Up on the Cost of Food

prepared by the United States Department.
OF Agriculture.1
Most home makers think they know.
in general way the probable cost of
the food materials needed in their
families for a week or month. Never
theless there is surprising fuctua-
ton in the monthly item for food at
different seasons. 1t is due not only
to the kinds Of food available and the
local retail prices, but also to changes
in the makeup Of the household the
number of house or dinner guests, the
number of days in the month, and
who eat meals.
For example, the father may be
away on business trip during Feb
ruary, which is short month, any
way. Because of his absence there
may be little or no company. In
March, thirty-one-day month, the
spring holidays from school or college
begin, the boy or girl away from
home returns, bringing a friend, per-
haps, and there is more or less enter
tanning. Spring sewing or cleaning
possibly adds dressmaker or char
woman to the number of persons to
whom midday or other meals are
served. Regardless of the current
prices for food, it is clearly impossible
to compare the March bills with those
Of February.
Nobody can tell you how much eth
er months food should cost, but there
is simple way to estimate this with
reasonable accuracy. If you have
previously kept accurate accounts and
know how many persons ate meals

SOME FOOD HINTS THAT WILL
INTEREST THE FAMILY

tablespoonful Of butter for each pint
Of oysters, sprinkle with salt and pep
per and cook until the edges curl.
Serve very hot with finely minced
onion and french dressing on lettuce.
Preserved Watermelon Rlnd.-Cut
the red portion from the watermelon
rind, remove the green skin and cut
the rind into inch pieces. Soak the
rind in lime water using two quarts
Of water and two tablespoonfuls of
lime; let stand three and one-half
hours. Drain and let stand in fresh
cold water for an hour. Drain and
cook for an hour and half in clear
water, or until tender. Drain, make
strip of two pounds Of sugar and
four quarts of water, drop in the rind
after it has begun to boil, add one
thinly sliced lemon that has been
cooked in very little water until trans
parent. Add such spices as one
wishes and cook until the strip is
thick. Pack in Jars and seal.
Take canned cherries or large straw
berries drained from their juice, toss
them into egg white and sugar pre-
pared as for a meringue. Chill and
serve in sherbet glasses.

Some Timely Hints
for the HOmemaker

If doughnuts crack in cooking, try
a little less baking powder in the
recipe.
Hearty meals should be followed by
light rather than rich desserts.
Molasses is recommended for chill
dren's sweets because it is rich in
iron and calcium. f
The wisest parents wish to under
stand and help rather than to dictate
to their children.
Attractive garnishes often make the
difference between an appetizing dish
than an uninteresting one.
Apples baked in maple strip, with
a piece of butter in the center, will be
a rich satisfying dessert for dinner.
A good workman is known by his
tools, so the home maker buys kitchen
utensils of good quality and takes
good care of them.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1930-12-12
Cleanliness Vital
When One Has Cold

For the person who cooks the food
as well as for those who eat it, there
is no more important health measure
than thorough and frequent hand
cleansing with soap, warm water and
a nail brush. The woman who is suf-
fering from a cold or any other COM
municable disease is doing herself as
well as her family an injustice by
pottering around the kitchen when
she should be in bed. If there is some
good reason why it is necessary for
her to be up and about, she must be
especially careful to use plenty of
clean handkerchiefs and to keep her
hands clean.

CLASSIC AND QUAINT BROUGHT
INTO THE FASHION PICTURE


whose naive all-off-the-shoulder de-
colletage is it's charm.
In the picture we see the classic
lines Of an exquisite lace gown sill
houetted against the background in
contrast to the girlish dance frock
pictured in the foreground. Youth is
expressed in every detail Of the dainty
dress Of powder blue satin, which fea-
lures a beguiling- off-the- shoulder and
puff-sleeve arrangement. Romantic
neckllnes such as this and which re-
call the adorable portraits of sweet
Jennie Lind in her lovely low-neck
gowns, have found their way into the
modern picture, much to the delight
OF those who are seeking the pictur-
esque. The circular skirt of this win
some frock is handsomely encrusted
with lace. The ornate decoration of
appliqued flowers adds beauty.
1t is far cry from the ingenue
frock in the foreground to the sophis-
ticated lace model as shown, and vet
who can say which is the lovelier?
Jeanette Loft, recent recruit to the
Hollywood clan of film stars, wears
this lace fantasy and it is particular
~ becoming to her graceful, slender
figure. The lace Of which it is made
is pinkish beige posed over a satin
foundation in exactly the same shade.
Its cape effect and Its wide flounce
are important style details.

Great Opportunities In Business

Those who will graduate this year
are beginning to decide what they
will do after leav ng high school.
Business offers greater opportuni-
ties than all the professions com
bined, and preparation may be made
in much shorter time.
The Oberlin school of commerce
offers unusual advantages. Sur
prise has often been expressed that
so many of the leading bankers and
business men of Ohio made their
preparation at Oberlin. 1t is one of
the few business schools in the
whole country having the. college
entrance requirement. With only
high school graduates it is able to
do higher grade of work than
schools with a mixed group of stu
dents, some of whom have had lit.
tie or no high school training. Fine
opportunities in business await
those who make thorough prepara-
ton.
