NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS
ABOUT EATING

A balanced budget and better
health for her family were probably
the most common New Year resOlu-
tions for most wives and mothers.
Reliable information about food is
necessary to turn these resolutions
into accomplished facts. There is
much good information which is
available to every housewife without
cost or at very low cost.
The United States Bureau OF Home
Economics has some very helpful
suggestions about balancing the food
budget at various levels of family
circumstances. Diets to Fit the
Family Income" is free il you will
write the Bureau of Home Econom-
les. United States Department of
Agriculture. Washington, d. C.
The Bureau of Home Economics
suggests that you keep itemized rec
ords OF your food weights and costs
Tor two or three weeks, and then
compare your records with the mar
ket lists suggested in Diets TO Fit
the Family Income" BY this com
parison you can tell il you are
