New Brides Need Food-Buying Skill

After the honeymoon is over, and
brides are settled down to cooking,
they will find real ingenuity required
to plan meals for two without vast
ing food or letting menus become
monotonouS. Home economics Spe-
cialists at Ohio State university say
even though the young homemaker
shops on a small scale, she should
use care in making purchases and
IN selecting food.
It will be advisable for the young
cook to make a record of the num-
Der Of persons certain amount of
food will serve. For instance, one
pound of prunes yields 10 to IL
servings, one pound of broccoli, two
to three servings; quart of sauer-
kraut, five to six servings; and one
pound Of ground meat serves five
persons.
If the homemaker finds a large
can of peaches or other fruit is the
most economical to buy, she can
use part of the fruit as a salad with
cottage cheese, make a shortcake
for dessert the next day, and serve
with toast for breakfast on another
day. BY planning meals this way,
a few cents can be saved by buying
larger cans of fruit instead of small
cans.
Fortunately, there are some foods
almost made to order for the family
of two. Egg dishes can be made to
fit group of any size. Chops, cut
let's, ground meat, stewing meat,
sausage, bacon, or liver are eco
nomical cuts for the small family.
Many markets sell chickens cut into
sections so the homemaker can buy
as many choice pieces as she wants.
Sometimes cooking more than
enough for single meal is neces-

days."
Not a Fortune-Hunter.
That's the gist of the letter, and
as I say my first impulse was quite
different from my second as to an
swering it. ! felt that Hugh was a
fortune hunter who would sacrifice
honor for money, get possession of
the entire worldly wealth of a wild
ow with two young daughters, and
then perhaps ill-treat his wife to
the point where she would pass out
of the picture entirely.
But on second thought I realized
that this letter from Sally's mother
reveals more than she probably sus-
pected. For one thing, Sally's ia
Their didn't want her to go on that
fatal night party that ended her
young gay dancing days so tragical-
ly, and for another Sally's mother
hasn't been any too successful in
her management of the estate since
her widowhood. +.
Arrangement Could Be Happy One.
1t is highly possible that Hugh
sees that if she is allowed to go on
making foolish investments there
will soon be nothing left for any,
one, whereas if he handles it wisely
and sensibly they will all be better
off. At "a a doctor has reached an
age to think of marriage and ia
therhood, and although Sally can
never go with him to movies or
dances or banquets, it is highly pos
sible that with her intelligence, de-
votion, sweetness she can make a
home for him that will rival all
these arnusements.
If he is a charlatan he certainly
hasn't betrayed it in his past his
tory. He has a fine position and
has already made himself a dis
tinguished figure in his own field.
He will give Sally very ecstasy
of happiness, and it seems to me
her chances of successful wifehood
are as good, or possibly better, than
those of girls who have had every
thing their own way, who think of
nothing but themselves, and who
never have had the stern disci-
pline that Sally has had.
A Good Risk.
So I sent in Troubled Mothers"
envelope my advice that the risk
was a good one. All marriages are
risks, and Sally's own opinion of the
man she loves might be considered
some indication of his worthiness.
When Sally's troubled mother dies,
be it few or many years from now,
it will surely be satisfaction to her
to know that Sally is in safe hands,
that there is man who loves her,
and who is into the bargain a good
doctor, close beside her.
The small amount of pride the
troubled mother" will have to
swallow is insignificant compared
with the happiness which Sally will
receive by marrying the man she
loves.
Even If Hugh turns out to be a
scamp he will hardly be able to do
anything crueller to Sally than did
the weak mother who let a 19-year-
old girl go out to night clubs, dane
ing with men she hardly knew, and
to be brought home, when her own
escort failed her, by a drunken
stranger. Two-thirds of our traffic
accidents happen at night; thou
sands Of them happen when dazed,
sleepy youngsters stumble out of
road houses, stupid with poor food,
bad drink, bad air, smoke and noise.
The problem of Sally's life never
would have to be solved today if a
wiser mother had solved it four
years ago.

in the diplomatic pouch and was
shot here from Washington by air
courier, it may have some impor-
tance."
Benning slit the envelope open
with paper-knife. A message on
single slip of paper, which bore no
signature, read:
"Mon Capitaine, I presume you
may know already that M. Bravot
is in your country under masquer-
ade in the hope of redeeming him
self in Van Hassek's favor"
Benning passed the note to Gen
eral FlagwiQ and said, with
thoughtful smile: THAT note from
our little French girl startles me,
sir. Rather a coincidence to re-
ceive this just when Bravot has been
on my mind today. I've had
bunch the fellow might be around
somewhere.
Flagwil stood up and took from
the pocket of his coat pair of sill
yer oak leaves. He handed them to
Benning and said: Here's your new
insignia of rank, Colonel, with my
affectionate best wishes"
Shortly before nine o'clock, Ben
ming wound his way in Flagwill's
sedan through the endless troop con-
voys to the landing field. In his dis
patch case were the secret orders
that would put Holling's Fourth
Army into the attack. Four planes
were lined up at the field to carry
as many field-officer couriers with
orders that would put the group of
four field armies into action.
Benning's pilot, stiff and erect at
attention beside his fuselage, salut-
ed punctiliously. In his present pre-
occupation it was only Benning's
long habit of sharp observation that
picked up the minor inconsistency
of pilot with goggles fixed over
his eyes before he climbed to the
cockpit.
AS Benning searched the pilot, he
saw the officers body stiffen. Ben
ning's hand drove to his holstered
service pistol as he picked out in
the moonlight his fellows profile.
The masquerader flashed into action
at the same instant. With swift,
even elaboration Benning leveled
his weapon and pressed the trigger.
Bravot sank to the ground.
Pilots and ground crew rushed
up. Benning leaned over the fallen
man and stripped off the goggles.
Floodlights were switched on, hur-
ried search made for Captain
Trench, pilot of the plane. Trench's
body was found in the shadow of
nearby hangar, a knife thrust
through his heart.
Benning hastily searched Bravot's
uniform. In canvas dispatch case
he found cleverly counterfeited or
ders for prompt withdrawal of
three divisions from an important
salient in enemy lines east of Sac
ramento.
In the small hours of the morning,
Benning's plane put him down at
Carson City. A military automo-
bile took him north around Lake Ia
hoe, thence west into the slopes of
the Sierras.
Columns plodded on, silent shad-
ows in the night, an endless cara
van of men moving to the front.
Daybreak was close at hand when
he reached the Fourth Army's adj
vance command post.
The army commander took the
dispatch from Benning, broke the
seal, and read with a visible tighten
ing of jaws.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1941-06-05

sary. Roasts must weigh at least
three pounds if they are to be cooked
without undue shrinkage. Leftover
beef may be used in hash, sliced and
heated in barbecue sauce, or ground
and mixed with celery, onion, and
mayonnaiSe for a sandwich spread.
Leftover pork or veal can be served
cold, shredded for chop suey, or
diced and mixed with rice and vege-
tables to make a one-dish meal, or
used to stuff peppers.
Even steak may be a problem.
A good steak that is thick enough
for broiling is usually too large for
two persons. A porterhouse comes
closest to the two-serving size. But
if larger steak is bought, the less
tender end may be cut off and
ground for hamburger steak, or
made into meat balls to serve with
spaghetti.
Vegetables can be changed on
their second appearance at the table
if they are served with a cream
sauce, cheese sauce, or hollandaise
sauce. Small heads of cabbage and
caulifower can not always be OBJ
tanned, and even bunch of carrots
or beets may be too large. Part of
these can be used as a hot dish one
day, and as a salad the next. They
will lose none Of their flavor by be-
ing held over one day.
As final point in simplifying the
cooking-for-two problem, the home
economics specialists say avoid put
ting small dabs of different vege-
tables and meat in regular size serv-
ing dishes. Either arrange the vege-
tables and meat attractively on a
single large platter, or fill the plates
in the kitchen and serve directly
from there.

ARTICLE MISLEADING

Editor AskOv American:
The original of the below self
explanatory letter was sent by me
to the Minneapolis Star-Journal jan

therein of the alleged false article.
A whole week having elapsed without
any retractiOn or correction or

it together with this explanation be
published in the Askov American for
the benefit of the public.
The article in your 'Everybody's
Ideas column of Sunday, January &c,
under the title clarifying the Lien
Law, written by Ernest G. KOmatar
of Gilbert, wherein it states that the
lien is not mandatory but optional and
that the county agency may take Il
lien on the property only if there is
reasonable evidence that the recipi-
ents have children who can support
them, is absolutely false and mislead-
ing.
subdivision 2 of section 3199-26 of
chapter 315 of the Session Laws of
1889, of this state, reads as follows:
No person shall be paid old age
assistance without first giving the
state lien on all his property with
in the state as hereinafter provided.
THE lien is slapped on the mo-
ment the first pension check is cashed
whether the pensioner has any chill

Then there is a provision for re-
leasing the lien, Though l doubt if
it has ever succeeded), by the pen
sioner proving to the satisfaction of
the county agency that he needs the
property, or some part of it, for main
tenance and support and that the pay

took their hogs, a great part of their
milk cows and beef cattle, and other
things; and keep on taking and use

that good economic system does

1t takes military strength to keep
military might out of country, and
as long as people are so far from be-

bound to have an army for defense.
The economic problem is one by

shifting the taxes from living ex-

Real Taxes Coming

While the general concensus of
opinion is that taxes today are too
high the people haven't seen nothin"
yet, says a recent editorial in the
Hennepin County Review.
Preparations for national defense
will require tremendous sum with
in the next few years. The income
tax exemption has already been low
cred to $500 gross revenue for single
persons, and $4,000 gross for the
married.
The Review editorial goes on to
say that "we're going to spend %
billions for defense, at least that
seems to be the last figure we re-
scall seeing in the newspapers.
Shortly after the March Is returns
on income are in, and roughly ana
lyzed by the Treasury Department
you will very probably see Congress
really get down to cases on this tax
thing.
"Best guess now is that the 1941
tax law will lower exemptions for
married persons to $1,000 or less;
begin surtaxes at $4,000; eliminate
the ten per cent earned income credit;
set up sitter capital gains and losses
provisions; increase the normal rates
for corporations up to 80 per cent;
eliminate tax exempt securities; raise
present excise tax rates and add
some new commodities to the list.
'"The time will swiftly come when
everyone will be given an active
hand in the defense job, and a hand
that will call for some sacrifice. Your
next years tax bill will be honey.
Get ready now, hold onto your hat,
and be a good sport"
