The housewife, shopping Tor tur-
key and trimmings today, is realiz-
ing the high cost OF being thankful.
Turkeys are fine this year-but
high! They're also plentitul-but
not for civilians. The Army, Navy,
Coast Guard, Marines, WAACS and
WAVES have sobbled up so many
gobblers that many markets in the
larger cities won't have a turkey
left on Thanks giving eve.
Despite price ceilings, the Ameri.
can housewife will pay more for al
most every item OF her traditional
dinner. And she'll be lucky, in
some instances, if she can get some
OF the items at all
Green vegetables have scared
and their canned substitutes are
scarce and up in price. Butter
and eggs are astronomical; cram
berries are up in price but plenti-
ful and mince and pumpkin pies
cost more than last year
You can be thankful II you have
coffee on hand-otherwise, tea will

sales are frozen this week.

the family and soldier or sailor
perhsps-you can whip up a turkey
dinner for s10.50 according TO
average figures from 81 representa-
tive United States cities. Pacific
Coast cities, with Portland in the
lead, are by far the highest Cities
in the South Atlantic are next, and
Midwest lowest.
The survey shows that this Sl0.50
dinner would have cost SIS last
year and $3.50 in 1910 and the diff
ference isn't all in the turkey How
ever We have much to be thankful
for. Ours is one OF the few couu-
tries left where such a dinner can
still be served. The cost is a
relatively minor consideration.

Names on Cards
Create Large
Problem
Absent Husbands
Can Be Included
In Added Note
By Emily Post

At present no question is more
often asked than that of whether
wife may include the name of her
husband who is away with the armed
forces on Christmas greetings to
their relatives and friends. A letter
today reminded me of an answer I
gave the other day, in which I sug-
gested the wife could say: John
would send greetings were he here"
This reader asks further: Did you
mean by this answer that his name
could not be included with his wife's
in any other way? In the past we
have signed our cards informally in
our own handwritings-"Mary and
John Blank" This year it seemed
to me that having them printed
would be a great time-saver, since
all my friends and I are giving every
extra minute we have to war activi-
ties. Also, the name-printed cards
I refer to are very little more expen-
sive than cards bought plain. Can't
it be assumed, even when a hus-
bands name is printed with his
wife's, that he would want it this
way?"
Since Mr.. and Mrs. cards Cor
Capt. and Mrs. are always left at
houses by the wife alone, as we'll as
sent by her with gifts, there is,
perhaps, no reasonable objection to
doing as you suggest. I think it
likely that many people will do the
same. On the other hand, to those
who do not know he has gone over
seas. it could not be other than mis-
leading in its implication that your
husband is at home. 1t is for this
reason that it seems best that news
OF his absence be included in a
special message such as the one re-
ferred to above. If he is still in this
country and you may even find it
possible to be together on that day
there is no question about using
your names together.
Dear Mrs. Post: What Is your
opinion of sending out Christmas
cards this year? Oh. I am sure you
will say 1t is right to send them to
friends and relatives - especially
those who live at distance. But
heretofore we always sent cards of
two kinds: informally printed ones
with our names, Alice and Jack
Green, and another set of the more
formal Mr.. and Mrs. John Green
variety. 1t Is about this last kind
that / am In doubt.
Answer think that the only
differences In the sending of Christ
mas cards this year are two: The
first tnoted In the foregoing letter.
is the question Of how you prefer
to include an absent husband
name. This is in great measure
a question of personal impulse. The
second Is choice Of q card that
emphasizes friendship rather than
the merriness Of Christmas.

she suggests:
Don't write about the war-the

Don't write about the wonderful
party you had last night, or any
thing else that may make men
homesick.
Don't tell the family troubles.
Don't repeat rumors.
Don't write about political con-
troversies and community differ
ences.
Do tell the men about pleasant
family events.
Send clippings about people the
men are interested in.
Tell about local sports events the
men are interested In.
Tell about family achievements

pour over the platters of spaghetti.
This makes grand sauce though a
dyed-in-the-wool Italian will have
conniptions. He would require four
hours or more to prepare it.
Any one who cuts or breaks his
spaghetti before eating it is in bad
form. The way to eat this spaghetti
is to take the fork in the right hand,
isolate strand or two of spaghetti
on the point, then twist the fork
around and around while it gathers
up stable ball, maybe as big as an
egg-with no loose ends. This is
propelled to the mouth. A little
practice and every thing goes well.

but 1t certainly would do
a lot to boost the morale of the gen.
eral public, and make 1t easier for
them. themselves, if every one would
take a solemn oath to quit 1pitying
themselves, and not to mention their
sacrifices again during the duration.
The greatest sufferers in every
war are not the men who 60 out
to fight, but the women they leave
behind them, and no one could be
heartless enough not to sympathize
with the mothers and wives and sis
tiers and sweethearts whose men
have gone from them to suffer hard
ships and dare death in faraway,
strange places. Theirs is the agony
of the long waiting that stretches
nerves taut, Of fears that grow by
feeding upon their imaginings, of
days filled with gloomy brooding
and nights in which they wet their
pillows with their tears.
But, hard as is the lot of these
women, they make 1t harder still
when they kick against the pricks
and refuse to resign themselves to
the inevitable. There are, thank
God, many brave women who have
taken their blow from Fate with
their chins up; who are doing their
weeping in private and who are
turning a smiling face upon the
world. They are proud to have
given their country sons to fight for
it in its hour Of need. They are
writing letters to their men at the
front that are like a waving flag
Of victory to them, and they are
keeping their families braced up by
making things cheerful at home
and setting them a pattern of
bravery they can but initiate. These
are the women and these are the
families that war will not break.
But there are so many other
women who have not had the stam-
ina to face trouble and fight it
We meet them every day and they
bedew us with their tears. They
are haggard and worn with anxiety
and have aged years in a few
months. Their eyes are red with
much weeping. Their clothes hang
on them like bags. They have
ceased to take any trouble with
their personal appearance and thei,
conversation is a long wall OF
despair: why did my son have
to be taken by the draft?" "Why
did my husband have to give uE
his business when he was getting
such a good start, to go into tn,
army?" How do I know that thu

so they send letters sodden with
tears about their loneliness to theil
men at the front that takes the last
bit of heart out of them. And al
to no avail. They are only kicking
against the pricks and pressing the
steel deeper into their hearts. They
are the women and the families

Anyhow, Owl prefers to see the

that in spite of this voluntary ra-
tioning that every one is observing
so faithfully 90, we can have real
old-fashioned Thanksgiving just as
usual because turkey isn't rationed
at all. They do admit, on a soberer
note, however, that turkey is mighty
expensive, and that lots of families
won't have as many people gathered
around the festive board to eat it
this year. So they suggest chicken,
instead, and feel that everything is
settled.
They also go into the sugar sit
uation where cranberries are con-
cerned. They mourn that real
cranberry sauce can't be used be-
cause it will take too much sugar.
But they forget the cranberry sauce
in cans, and they also didn't see, ap-
parently, all the fine recipes we have
had for using cranberries with a
minimum of sugar. Sure, you get
cranberry sauce this year, Junior!

Put That Cold to R0ut!
Stay Home to Avoid Injecting Others;
Drink Plenty of Fruit Juices

When you have a cold take a
tip from Marjorie Hills popular
book, Live Alone and Like It."
In other words, stay at home, if it
is at all possible, especially the
first day, and confine your snif1es,
coughs and sneezes to the privacy
of your own room.
There is nothing that goes the
rounds as fast as a cold when one
infected person feels that it is
important to stay on the job. In
the end, if you stay at home, you
will be doing yourself and your fell
low employees favor and the boss,
too. You won't spread the cold
bug" and you will feel much better
the second day and do a definitely
better job when you are back at
work.
Here are some tips for that day
in your room that will make you
more comfortable and will help in
routing the cold.
l. Get as much rest as possible
in a Well-ventilated room that is
free from drafts. When you sit up,
keep arms, chest and shoulders
covered
2. Have the little comforts and
cold cures within easy reach so you
won't have to bound out of bed
every few minutes. Have box of
tissue within reach for nose blow
ing and a waste basket handy for
the disposal of used tissues.
3. A small table within easy reach
Of your pillow is handy for books,
magazines and cold tablets.
4. Drink plenty of water. It's a
good idea to keep a covered pitcher
of water and glass on the table
by your bed. Supplement breakfast,
luncheon and dinner with in
between-meal feelings of unsweet-
ened fruit juices-orange, grape
fruit, pineapple or tomato These
four are mentioned especially be-
