Of getting Grade A quality. If you
prefer to use equally wholesome
Grades b and C, you can get them
at lower prices, and with the quality
marked plainly on the can.
Watch for the sale of graded goods
in your town. You can help make the
experiment successful.
Furniture
Look before you leap into those
August furniture sales, Gu advises
in the first Of a series of articles on
wood furniture in the August Gu Re-
ports. It's possible to get your moneys
worth. It's also possible to squander
money on furniture that will hold to-
gether only until you start to use it.
Usually the furniture most loudly ad-
vertised as bargain special is acutal-
ly the poorest value for your money.
Furniture that warps, cracks or falls
apart in few months can't be bar
gain. The shiny finishes that look
SO well in the shop window may not
retain their gloss if they've been
sprayed on untitled wood.
FURNITURE workers
About 10000 furniture workers are
employed in the United States. They
receive 26f6 of the amount you pay
for furniture-a relatively high ratio
as compared with some other indus
tries, but pretty slim in terms of
actual earnings. Average hourly wage
is about 53c. Average weekly earn
ings-during employment-are around
$40. Summer and winter are slack
seasons.
The main unions in the industry are
the Brotherhood Of Carpenters and
Joiners, United Furniture Workers
and Upholsterers international Union
Workers in organized wood furniture
plants work shorter hours, earn more
than in non-union plants. Even be-
fore wages-and hours legislation, the
unions had helped to bar such abuses
as 55-hour weeks, or wages under 25c
an hour.
Much union-made furniture can be
identified by union labels. Ask for the
union label when you buy.

COCoa-COla


Each II ounce bottle of Pepsi Cola
contains ten level teaspoonfuls Of
sugar Gu found in testing 5 leading
cola drinks. The other brands con-
tanned about 4/5 as much. If you're
reducing, think of the sugar content
before you reach for cola drinks.
The main difference between Cocoa
Cola and other cola drinks is in the
size C OF. for 5c), Gu concluded after
blindfold taste tests Of Coca Cola,
Pepsi Cola, Double Cola, Lime Cola
and Royal Crown Cola. The only flavor
which even half the staff members
could consistently tell from other
Aavors was Pepsi-COla's, and that was
mainly because Of the extra sweet
ness. Conclusions: if you must have
colas, try the brands that give II
ounces for SC. You'll probably like
them just as well.
Grade Labelling
The L. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture announces an experiment Of I'M
portance. 1t is now providing con-
tinuous inspection and grading of four
canneries' 1910 pack of cherries
peaches, pears, corn and tomatoes.
Goods thus inspected will be sold un-
der the L. S. grade label-a shield
insignia with the words: "U. S. Grade
A" (or B or c.. "These goods were
packed under the constant inspection
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, and this grade officially certi-
fed" This statement is not the same
as the simple Grade A, B or c state
ment which now appears on some
canned foods and which is the distri-
butor's guarantee. The U. S. grade
label is a government certificate of
quality.
Whether the experiment continues
depends on the public. Distribution
will be on an experimental basis
through selected stores. If the buyers
response is good, the experiment may
be extended to other plants next year
and may eventually result in the gov
crnmcnt service Gu has been asking
fer since 1936-grade labelling Of al
most all canned goods.
Grade labelling will give you two
important benefits: if you want to pay

Is Your Home Program
Streulnlined?
EMMA GARY WALLACE

1t is only recently that automobiles
and buses, railway trains and other
means of transportation, have been
streamlined. There are still to be seen,
upon our highways and other arteries
of travel, vehicles Of the older type.
When first engineers began to advo-
cate and to design streamlined cars
and airplanes, it was thought rather
ridiculous. Some conservative people
declared and argued stoutly that any
thing so powerful as motor-driven
conveyance would cut through the air
without being retarded by it's resist
ance. Now it is generally accepted
and easily proved that smoothness Of
travel, economy and speed are pro-
NOTED by proper streamlining.
Exactly the same principle holds
true in home management. If the pro-
gram of daily living is to show
smoothness of operation, all friction
and everything else which causes re-
sistance or is retarding in character is
to be avoided.
Various definitions Of "home" have
been given from time to time. The
comedian says, "It's a place to change
your clothes to get ready to go to the
next place." or "a place to stay when
you don't know what else to do"
A home should be ga place to which
all members Of the family love to re-
turn and think Of returning with eager
joy"
If the latter definition is to be ours,
the mother, who is the queen of the
home, will streamline all her plans as
far as she can, so that each member
of the home group, from the tiniest
tot to the oldest, will be ready to make
the others happy. Head-on collisions
will be avoided. Anything approach
ing discourtesy will be discouraged.
There will be love and harmony and
orderly surroundings. There will be
privacy, when it is desirable, and con-
sideration for the rights of others.
Little Tony was watching and wait
ing. "I'm going to meet Dad" he ex-
planned smilingly, che always 'spects
me-" Then suddenly, "There comes my
dad!" and away little Tony flew.
That was an indication that as far
as Tony's father was concerned this
home was streamlined. Confidence
plays such an important part of all
periods of child's development. In
the years to come, the memory of
those happy evening greetings will be
uplifting as will other memories which
recall a home where friction found
small place.
Streamlining of home plans does not
mean making everything easy and
comfortable for one particular person,
even little child, while others
are sacrificed foolishly. Streamlining
means that all angles and sharp places
likely to hurt or to hinder have been
rounded and eased.
1t can be done. Patience and the
perseverance that brings true under
standing will be necessary. 1t will take
extra thought and effort-but it will
be we'll worth while.

Diabetes is simply an inability on

off in the urine, and this is the most
reliable sign Of the disease. Most cases
occur in persons over 40 or 80. Only
a small proportion Of diabetes suf-
fercrs need insulin, as mild cases need
only to cut down sugar in tea and
