When neither the food supply nor
the purse limits the selection Of food,
1t is possible to afford so large a
variety that the homemaker may
choose somewhat at random within
each of the food groups and DE rea-
sonably sure of meeting the food re-
quirements Of the family. When. as
in the drought-affected regions, variety
must be greatly curtailed because Of
food shortage and lack Of ready cash,
Il is necessary to weigh with the ut
most care the contributions made by
each food material to the dietary. The
subcommittee on nutrition, working
under the direction of the national
drought relief committee, which in
cludes representatives of the co-opera-
tive extension service and the bureau
Of home economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture, has
prepared a list of foods that for the
money invested in them offer good or
excellent returns, in terms of vitamins,
protein, and minerals. This list is part
of the material assembled to aid pro-
fessional nutrition workers who are
called on to advise families in the
sections where one-sided diets are
common.

The banana leaves laughed again.
They made such lovely sound as
they laughed.
1t reminded the Fairy Queen of the
sound Of gentle summer rain.
"Some of our cousins have Travelled
on boats" the banana tree said.
Some have gone on trains, too"
But tell me why you don't last
very long" the Fairy Queen asked.
Because" said the leaves, 1--WE are

less you are sure the fabric will not
water spot or lose its color. Chem
icals should not be used until after
water has been tried, except when the
fabric is unsuitable for water treat
ment.
Potassium permanganate can be
used in removing certain stains from
all white fabrics except rayon. One
or more repetitions of the treatment
may be necessary in the case of per-
sistent stains. Any pink or brown
stain left by the permanganate is re-
moved by applying hydrogen peroxide
made very slightly acid, if not already
so, with hydrochloric, acetic, oxalic, or
tartarlc acid. Oxalic acid in saturated
solution, or lemon juice, may also be
used on cotton, linen, or silk for re-
moving potassium permanganate
stains. Follow by thorough rlnsing.

ed for taking out stains made by writ

stains, iron rust, medicines that con-
tain metallic salts, and some forms of
mildew. 1t is also used after treat
ment with permanganatc, when the
latter leaves a residual stain.

The food groups mentioned by the
committee are: Cereals, milk and
cheese, eggs, lean meat and fish,
fruits and vegetables, sugars, fats.
Among the inexpensive protective
foods listed, with rough indication Of
what each furnishes to the diet. are
included: Milk, eggs, lean muscle
meat, liver, kidney, fish, shellfish, veg

leafy vegetables, potatoes, and certain
root vegetables, dried peas and beans,

The Fairy Queen took a trip with
some Of the other fairies to where the
banana trees were growing.
The fairies were so tired from the
trip that they fell asleep, but just as
the Fairy Queen was about to go to
sleep she noticed that the leaves of
Ehs banana trees all around were
laughing, actually laughing.
! what are you laughing for?' asked
the Fairy Queen.
"We're laughing because we're al
most ripe. It's SO jolly to be almost
'ffpe."
i swell, Of course, l don't know" said
the Fairy Queen. 'Tve never been a
fruit, so 1 don't know what it would
be like to be ripe or unripc."
"Ah. but we have such a glorious
time growing, and while we last, we
are so happy" the banana trees said.

Fairy Queen. "Of course, I can I'M

goes to prove that a decided innova-
tion has taken place so far as the
new patternings are concerned, in that
the gay stripes. plaids and palsleys
are distinct departure from the
usual fiorals which for so long a time
have held the center Of the stage.
The plaid silk which fashions the
modish afternoon dress in the picture
is choicely conservative at the same
time that it is decidedly modern in its
technique. The wavy lines which so
delicately and gracefully trace plaid
patterning are black against a pale
blue background with tiny red dots
scattered in pretty confusion through
out the entire design.
Black buttons effectively trim this
frock and the color scheme is further
stressed in that black belt, black
scarf and black gloves are worn with
this costume.

There are few common chemicals
which are necessary to remove stains,
and these should be kept in every
household. Some Of them are poison
GUS, so don't put them in the family
medicine cabinet or in the pantry.
The chemicals most frequently needed
are javeIle water, potassium perman-
ganate, oxalic acid, ammonia water,
and carbon tetrachloride. Keep these
out of reach on high shelf, together
with a medium-sized bowl, a medicine
dropper, a glass rod with rounded
ends, several pads Of cheesecloth or

Tasty CONNECTION May Be
Made of Pumpkin

delightful CONNECTION may be
made of 1-inch squares of pared pump
kin. To pound ofthese pieces, three
quarters pound of sugar is added, and
allowed to stand overnight. In the
morning the strip may be drained off
and cooked until 1t coats the spoon,
after which the pumpkin, one lemon,
and a tablespoonful of preserved ginger
are added, and boiled until the pump
kin is clear. The pumpkin should be
simmered until the strip is absorbed,
and then lifted out and drained first on
plates, then on a screen covered with
cloth. When 1t is no longer sticky.
it is rolled in granulated sugar and
packed in glass jars.

plaids adds zest to their vogue. It is
possible to secure as modest or as
famboyant plaid as one may wish in
the new materials. The same may be
said of the equally-as-smart stripes.
In fact the problem is, whether to
choose plaids or stripes, and the surest
day of being right is to indulge in
both, for these gay patternings are
made use of not only for the dress or
blouse entire but in the way of ac-
cessories such as scarfs, girdles and
other trimming touches they are en-

They were both rested and hungry.
Such banana eating party as they
had, and the bananas seemed much
pleased in their banana fashion that
they were so much liked.
But after it was all over and the
eating and the talking was finished,
the Fairy Queen went back to Fairy
land with the other fairies, and there
she told everyone banana tree history,
which they were all so glad to hear.
And she had big bundle of ba-

had sent to Fairyland as their gift.

Bacon dripplngs add flavor to every

are especially good In sauces for
