"Bess, what do you think is wrong
with my fock?" asked Mrs. Peterson
of her sister. Everybody has a rem
edy and I've tried most of them, but
still the trouble persists. Aunt Jane
is dear, and she thinks my lack Of
discipline or failure to govern wisely
is due to the fact that the children's
diet is wrong, but l follow the book
rigidly. Sometimes the youngsters
obey willingly and promptly, and
sometimes they have to be persuaded
to respect authority by the necessity
of choosing between that and punish
ment. l know as we'll as my dear ad-
visors that there is screw loose some
where, but which one to tighten l do
not know, and until l do know this
household will rattle with discord, Pm
afraid"
The younger mother spoke lightly,
but she meant every word. Her sister,
who was visiting her, worked in an
office where things went with clock
like precision. She had witnessed a
tantrum on the part of sturdy Jimmy,
and before breakfast there had been
a scene with Dorothy because she did
not want to wear a certain frock to
school,
"Well, since everybody else has
made a suggestion, I'll make one too,"
said her sister, "but Pm afraid you
will be angry with me-"
"Go ahead!" said Mrs. Peterson with
an indescribable wave of her hand,
"One more will not hurt me-"
"Well, you don't make the proper
distinction between essentials and nom
essentials. l very quickly learned the
desirability of doing that under Super
intendent Browns instruction at our
office. He subscribes to newspaper
published in his home town and the
heading of the paper bears this in
scription: In Essentials Unity; in Non
essentials Liberty He has followed
that rule since he was a boy, he says.
We have the greatest liberty in work.

not affect the quality or the quantity

with the children, you fail to
separate little annoyances from seri-
Gus faults. Take this morning for ex-
ample. You punished Dorothy in the
same degree for wanting her own way
with regard to the dress, as you did
Betty yesterday when she told you
what was not true"
"Well, upon my word! | wonder if
you aren't right" said the amazed
Mrs. Peterson. dorothy had four
clean dresses and for the moment hap
pened to want the pink one, but fool
ishly | made it matter of discipline
and sent her off pouting. Where did
you learn all this-O, yes, right in
business office from successful bust
nessman. And right now, perhaps, is
chance to try out the idea. What is
it you want, Jimmy?"
"Why, I'd like to put on my bathing
suit and roll in the wet grass, but |
don't suppose you'll let me-" said her
little boy.
"Such an absurd ideal" The words
were almost out when Mrs. Peterson
remembered. "Why, think that would
be great fun," she said heartily. "Have
a good time; don't stay out too long"

Consumer Notes
Issued Weekly by Consumer
Counsel Division, A. A. A.
Washington, d. c.

Fur Coat Buyers; Read The Label!
Fur coat buyers following the sum-
mer sales should look at labels as we'll
as styles.
Fair Trade Practice rules issued by
the Federal Trade Commission last
year strike hard at Misrepresentation
in labels and advertisements of fur
dealers.
Under the rules, there can be no
misrepresentation of the grade, quail
ity, or kind of fur.
Branding a fur with some coined
name without explaining at the same
time just what kind of fur it actually
is, is forbidden. Likewise forbidden
is advertising fur as coming from
non-existent animal, such as 'scalino.'
Dealers must not tell consumers
that fur is from foreign animal,
if such is not the case.
Labels and advertisements must
give consumers full information if
furs are tipped, blended, pointed, or
dyed; if garment is made Of fur odds
and ends, or of tails, pieces, or paws;
if the fur is made from secondhand,
worn, or used furs; or if the garment
itself is secondhand, worn, or used.
Labels that name furs must give
the true name of the fur and if it is
dyed, or blended, this fact, must be
stated too. For example, a rabbit
which is dyed to resemble seal must
be labeled 'Seal-dyed Rabbit or if the
fur is muskrat, then seal-dyed Muskrat.
Fur dealers are prohibited from
falsely purporting to sell wholesale
or to advertise themselves as manu-
facturers when they are not.
Banned also are advertisements of
free storage or repairs when these
services are actually included in the
purchase price. Fake sales of Samples
and fake 'narkdowns' are also out
lawed
1t Is up to the consumer to watch
labels and advertisements carefully to
insure observance Of those rules. A
good rule is to buy from reputable
merchants who play the game fair.

w HSh Iou AIus frying
First step toward making good
fried chicken is to get good chicken
to fry.
Fryers should be between IA weeks
and 5 months old. The best way to
tell the age Of the bird is to feel the
breast bone. In a chicken young
enough for frying the breast bone
should be very flexible. The chicken
itself should be neatly and well COW
cred with flesh.
Weight of a fryer should be from
212 to 312 pounds. This is the market
dressed weight, that is, the chicken
has been plucked but not drawn, and
has head and feet still on.
If you fry in shallow fat, follow the
advice of Bureau of Home Economics
experts and have from one-half to
three-quarters of an inch of we'll
favored fat covering the bottom of
the pan. The fat should be allowed
to get hot-but not to the point where
it begins to smoke. With the pan COW
cred. it should take from 20 to 25
minutes to fry the thickest pieces of
a 3-pound chicken.

overtime worked.

overtime worked.
Where an employee is employed on
piecework basis, the regular hourly
rate of pay is the total earnings per
week (including production bonuses, if
any, divided by the number of hours
worked. Thus, if the total earnings
in any workweek of 48 hours are $24,
the regular hourly rate of pay is so
cents, the compensation for each of
the last four hours is IS cents and the
total wage S25 (44x50 plus 4x75).
If the rate of pay is S22 for a a.
hour workweek (agreed or customary, i,
the hourly rate is SO cents and, where
the employe works 4S hours, he will
receive rs cents for each of the last
four hours, or a total wage of S25.

Pleasing
 The Man
By CHLOE JAMESON

Pears are really one of the most delicious of the fruits, although they do not seem to figure largely in family menus, nor do they seem to be as popular as they might be with men. Doubtless the answer is that most of us don't know just what to do with them to give them the appetizing tang known to the French cook. Here are several sug- gestions which are simple enough to make pears we'll liked at your house. And remember they're usually an inexpensive fruit very healthful one, and you need them as alternates for the fruits you serve too frequently.
 Chilled ripe pears provide an ex- cellent breakfast when peeled and sliced thinly and served with sugar l and ice cold cream. They are good as dessert fruit for luncheon or dinner and also to serve in salads. Because of the very delicate flavor, a well-seasoned cheese dressing peps pears up when you are using them i for salad.
 One method is to wipe and peel ! the pears, cut in eighths length wise and remove core and seeds. Then arrange the sections on let tuce, cover with French dressing to which mashed or grated cheese has been added and garnish with strips of pimieto.
 ! Another salad may be made by cutting the pared fruit in halves lengthwise, then scoop out the cores i and fill the cavities with pimienao | cheese. Arrange a half pear or crisp lettuce leaves for each serving; pour over French dressing and dust with paprika.
 For another salad, peel pears half them, scoop out centers and | fill with well seasoned cream cheese, place halves together and let get very cold. Slice the pear in rings, arrange on lettuce and sprinkle with finely chopped nuts. Serve with French dressing or fluffy cream mayonnaise.
 An excellent dessert is baked peaches and pears, using small fruit, if desired; wipe, peel, halve and core pears and peaches, place in baking dish, sprinkle with sugar and a bit of cinnamon, add little water to prevent burning; cover dish and bake in a slow oven until ten- der. Serve with cream if desired.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-30
Do You Know?

Do you know why some pastry cooks give the filled cake tin few sharp bumps before putting it into the oven? The theory is that this causes the air bubbles to come to the surface and beak, which removes one cause of falling, and improves the texture of the cake.
 When making your weeks supply or bread or cracker crumbs you can save time by putting the dried bread or crackers through the food chop per, instead of crushing them with the rolling pin. Hasten the drying out process by putting the thinly sliced stale bread in moderately hot oven until it is well dried out.
 Mushrooms should never be cooked more then a few minutes, and never over a very hot fire. And the simplest way of cooking them is usually the best. A very fine sea- soning and thickening agent for gravies is made from dried pow dered mushrooms. The thlnly sliced stems of mushrooms and the juice in which they are cooked is also highly prized for meat sauces and gravies. Nice, too, as an addition to cream sauce or cream gravy served with fried chicken.
 Rarely do we like the combina- ton of two strongly favored fruits or vegetables: one usually wills the other. But not so with turnips and carrots. Try dicing them and cook ing them separately, draining of the juices, then mixing them in hot cream sauce seasoned with Q very little bit of minced parsley. They are delicious; one flavor helps the other and the two together are better than one.

 There is only one drawback. You'll be pestered for repeat orders as long as blueberries are on sale:
 Blueberry Roulettes
 2 cups sifted cake flour; 2 tea. spoons double.acting baking pow der; 1a teaspoon salt: 4 table, spoons butter or other shortening; 75 cup milk: melted butter; cup fresh blueberries; 4 tablespoons sugar.
 Sift flour once. measure, add baking powder, and salt, and sift again. Cut in shortening; add milk all at once and stir carefully until all flour is dampened; then stir vigorously until mixture forms Q soft dough and follows spoon around bowl. Turn out immediate ly on floured board and knead 30 seconds. Roll in oblong sheet, A inch thick. Brush with melted butter; cover with blueberries and sprinkle with sugar. Roll as for jelly roll. Cut in 1-inch slices and place in lightly greased muffin pans. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with additional sugar. Bake in hot oven (425' F.) 20 minutes, or until done. Makes 12 roulettes.

EsCALLOPED MUSHROOMS

Blend 1 teaspoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of flour, add 2 cups of chicken broth, bouillon or white stock and the chopped stalks of l pint of mushrooms. Cook until the sauce is reduced one-half, add l tablespoon chopped parsley, pep per, salt and few drops of onion juice. Pour into shallow baking dish and place in the sauce as many mushroom caps as will fit into the dish, having them close together with the gills up. Put piece of butter in each cap,' sprinkle with crumbs and place in the oven until the crumbs are lightly Drowned.

FLUFFY CORN FRITTERS

Sift N -cup cake flour, tea spoons baking powder and a4 tea spoon salt. Beat l egg and add | cup milk and 1 cup fresh green corn cut thinly from the cob. Stir gradually into the sifted dry in- gradients, then add tablespoon melted butter. Beat well and drop from large tablespoon into deep hot fat and fry not too fast; the fritters require time to cook through to the center before the outside becomes too brown. Drain on brown paper and serve piping hot; if the fritters stand too long the fluffineSS is lost.
