A COUPLE of weeks ago this
newspaper told that an attempt
would be made to collect the
scrap iron from the farms of
Lincoln county. That has given
me an idea.
Why not have some agency
sponsor similar drive to COL
iect all the scrap metal in the
towns? Why shouldn't someone
take uD the job of collecting
scrap iron and steel In the
cities? I'll wager several tons

Strolling around the town this
week found that Libby merchants
are being confronted with an I'm.

that dozens are attempting to

1O-rn0und lots when 1t can be

local supply is facing exhaus-

| also ran onto the report of
one family of two who had
stored away 1000 pounds of
the sWeetening.
Human nature doesn't change,
does it? We who can think back
to the days of World War | can
remember that similar boarding
was practiced by some at that time.
In those days | remember there was
a rationing of white flour as we'll as

my neighbors-if reports were to be
believed-had sneaked in two or
three hundred pounds of flour by
hook or crook. They weren't go

the nation and our hungry allies
They were going to grab while the
grabbing was good.
Some Of the good ladies who are
devotlng time to Red Cross work
have decided to mix little sociablI-
ity with their labors. And why
shouldn't they? The ladies have
agreed to bring along light refresh
ments on the dutch treat basis and
take time off during the afternoon
to enjoy snack.
This little respite makes the work
all the more enjoyable, inasmuch as
there can be no objection to such
harmless mixing Of work and play.

In preparing such delicacies
clever cooks have discovered

For this festive shortcake,
fresh fruits are peeled, cut in
halves, sugared and marinated
in wine for two hours before
being piled high on the cake.

IF YOU are going TO have a
baby, what you want more than
anything else is TO give him the
best possible start in life. The
time to do this is the nine
months before he is born.
Your diet then is all-important
10 the health nf Jour baby. Let
me tell you about a study of
$50 mothers-to-be, all from the
low-income bracket, and all on
poor diets-although no worse
than many an expectant mother
follows.
So that the exact effect Of
the diet could be studied, the
group was divided into halves.
One-half the mothers were al
lowed to continue their usual
fare. The other half received
supplementary protective foods
milk, eggs, oranges, tomatoes,
cheese. wheat germ and cod
liver oil.
See the Difference
BY the time the babies were
6 months old, anybody could
point out the ones whose mothers
had been on the good diet.
All these babies were given
the same care and attention
from birth. But those whose
mothers were better fed were
far healthier. They were the
ones who got the best possible
start in life.
Sometimes II is difficult 10

that are up 10 the nutritional
standard.
But there are inexpensive
sources Of important nutrients
and knowing these makes the

As you may know, you need

toward the end of the period,
five glasses A day.
If you cannot afford this en-
tire quantity in fresh milk, have

A 14ia ounce can of evaporated
milk has the food value Of one

addition, you need two teaspoons
