If we hunt far enough, we can usually find a use for most things. can't we? Whenever we squeeze oranges, lemons or grapefruit, we always take great pains to strain out the seeds. These same seeds planted in pots will grow into de- lightful little bushes which make very lovely decorations. In addi- ton to being decorative, lemon seeds planted in this manner are also very useful.
 Kept as a kitchen plant you can use the leaves in your cooking. When you are baking a cake, place one or two leaves in the bottom of your pan and pour the batter over them. This gives your cake very enticing flavor. You may also use lemon leaves when you make apple sauce. Jut tie a few of the leaves in a little sack and let boil with your apples. Remove when your apple sauce is cooked.
 
 Here is a grand recipe for:
 MEAT AND VEGETABLE EN
 CASSEROLE
 1 Ib. ground round steak
 I medium sized can of peas
 bunch carrots
 2 potatoes
 2 teaspoons -four
 Onion
 First roll round steak in balls about one inch in diameter. Brown these in grease in a frying pan. Then place in a layer in the bottom of your casserole. On top of this, make a layer of sliced carrots, which have been boiled about ten minutes. Make third layer of the peas from which you have drained the juice (save this juice). On top of the peas make a layer of sliced potatoes, which have also been boiled about ten minutes. Take 3 teaspoons of flour and make a paste with a little of the juice from the can of peas. Add this to the remainder of the juice and season heavily with salt and pepper and onion juice. Pour this juice over all ingredients and bake for about one-half hour.

 Keen a room from looking bare; But they caT9 be overfone,
 Placing two in space for one.
 This little verse does not exactly apply to the kitchen, although often the kitchen can have too many odds in ends in it. am really thinking more of some of the other rooms in your home when l say that you should never clutter room with too many knick-knacks. You may have gathered them as souvenirs on various travels and. if so, probably they have sentimental value. However, unless discrimination is used, too many little odds and ends may be the one thing that spells the charmingly simple ef- feet, you have tried to convey, and that may make your home look like a Curiosity Shop.

 A Quick Soup
 If you're in a hurry, here's a way to have a warm red soup that's made much quicker.
 Quick Vegetable Soup: Simmer one slice onion with the contents of q No. 1 can of tomatoes for five minutes: then press through sieve. Add one can of boullon, or an equivalent amount of water containing one bouillon cube, the contents of an 8-ounce can of veg etables for salad, and one cup water. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and boil several min utes. Serves six.

In weather like this you want nourishing soups that look hot as well as taste hot. To accomplish this there is nothing like tomatoes which impart their cheery tinge of warm red. So we're going to tell you about two new tomato soups. The first is rich and spicy indeed
 Tomato Broth with Asparagus Tips: Simmer gently for fifteen minutes the contents of a No. 3 can of tomatoes, one slice onion, one- fourth teaspoon pepper corn, one- fourth teaspoon allspice berries. one teaspoon salt and one-fourth teaspoon sugar: then press through q sieve. Add two and one-half cups chicken stock, or two and one-half cups water with one chicken bouillon cube, the liquor from q No. l can of asparagus

SWEETS FOR THE CHILDREN
 By SISTER MARY
NEA Service Writer

ANAA&A ~ Na@eC bshAS-A
 Children usually like sweet foods. and wisely chosen desserts iii an important place in their daily dietary. However. very sweet desserts such as pie and cake have the tendency to take away the desire for vegetables and cereals and increase the appetite for more sweets. Little children who have never tasted over-sweet food will not crave them and will be satisfied with the desserts suit able for them.
 The training of g chi1d's appe- tite is of utmost importance. Proper eating habits have direct bearing on his growth and may have much influence on his sus- ceptibility to disease and over fatigue all through his life.
 Food that Is too highly favored soon makes children dissatisfied with simple, wholesome foods that promote growth and provide nour- ishment.
 Sweets Should Be Last
 Every child should have some suitable sweet food to eat at q proper time. At the end of a well balanced meal reasonable amount of something sweet seldom has a disturbing effect and may be served to children with safety. But If sweets are eaten on an empty stomach, there is danger of diges- tive upsets. Sugar is valuable fuel food, but It's intense flavor and melting quality tend to satisfy the appetite before the needs of the body arc taken care of by other foods. Too much sugar at any time irritates the stomach and crowds out foods which furnish mineral and vitamin content as well as fuel.
 Junket Is an ideal dessert for gmaIl persons. It's simplicity and the amount of sugar needed to make it palatable make 1t quite perfect for very small children.
 Fruits cooked for small children should be those which take the minimum amount of sugar to make them palatable. Prunes arc mildly acid but need only a little swcetening. It is more desirable to use sugar to bring out the full fIa-or of other foods than to use 1t in a more concentrated form, as In paEtrlc..
 Fruit gclatinc. ices and ice crcems can be used for children's dasscrts. Rich frozen buildings should not be given to little .chil- dren. < plain frozen custard made Of milk and eggs and junket ice cream are the best types of frozen ''cream" to serve when an Iced dessert is wanted. Children should always cat frozen desserts very slowly.

TO-DAY'S MEAT COSTS
 BOON TO CONSUMER

The slogan that Meat prices are down" is pleasing to the one who needs to plan nutritious meals with a small amount of money.
 Meat prices are lower than has been known in many years, and still they reach new lows. In fact, they have reached far lower level now than anyone would have thought possible a few years ago.
 At the low level of meat prices there is range of prices which helps in planning inexpensive meals. Some cuts of meat are more popular than others, hence they are higher in price. The less demanded cuts are not less desir- able from the standpoint of flavor nor from the standpoint of nutri- ton, for what they lose in percent- age of fat, they gain in percentage of protein.
 Many cuts of meat are in the low-cost group. The list of these cuts as prepared by the National Live Stock and Meat board is giy-

Billions are held by the Federal

Billions more are carried in the

Government bonds are probably

Much the same can be said Of the

Sound Credit Essential
Thus it is absolutely essential
to keep government credit sound

fact, the chief danger in the pres

that something may be done to

If that were to be extended,
the results as to our banking and

ton lies in Government credit.
For a long time, the Govern
ment has been running a deficit
and the public debt has been pill
ing up toward the wartime peak.
To a large extent, this has been
due to the borrowing for farm
relief and for the R. F. c., al
though current operating deficits
have contributed.
Dumped On Treasury
To a large extent, therefore,
the debt is the result Of dumping
on the Treasury the frozen loans
remaining from the past over-ex-
tension of private business credit.
For example, the Government
issues bonds to raise funds for
the r. F.. c., which advances them
to finance banks with frozen
loans. Then the banks buy the
Government bonds! The great
bulk of Government bonds has
become lodged in the banking
system.

Refrigerator Prices

DETROIT, March 21.-An-
nouncement Of new low prices,
guaranteed for the next 40 days
against the possible effects of an
expected upturn in commodity
prices, was made today by George
w. Mason, chairman of the board
and president of Kelvinator Corp
grafton. He said the new prices
affect his, company'S entire line
of 1888 household electric refrig-
orators.
Mr.. Mason explained that the
new low prices have been made
possible not only because of the
low prevailing costs in the raw
materials market but also by
virtue of the widely spread buy
ing tendency that began with the
passing Of the banking crisis.
