How to Win on the Home Front"
is a pamphlet written by HELEN Dallas
and offers a practical plan by which
the average housewife can cut her
expenditures 10 per cent and still
maintain an adequate diet for her
family. The ten per cent can go for
war bonds.
The pamphlet explains why ration,
ing is necessary and how it operates;
how price control helps prevent hoard
ing, profiteering and specializing; what
the new credit regulations are which
limit installment buying, loans and
charge accounts how the government
is working to prevent hidden price

PANTRY PALAVER

Have YOU ever thought of the amaz-
ingly important part played in our
civilization by the lowly can-Opener?
Many regard the can-Opener as an
article of no importance, but the truth
is vastly different-in fact, the can
opener is the cornerstone Of our mod
ern civilization. 1t matters little
whether the can-opener of your choice
be one of those elaborate contraptions
fastened to the kitchen wall or the
more common and humble variety
that is plunged into the tin by brute
force and which YOU push, lower, lift
and slug through to a successful Sepa-
ration of cover from can.
Food is the basis of all existence,
Our modern machine civilization could
not exist without the existence of food
in modern containers which enables
long distance shipment, preservation
and quick preparation.
The glass can is erSatZ, temporarily
born of desperation, doomed to pass
from the scene when tin is once more
available to the arts and necessities
of peace. Take the tin can from the
American pantry and you take us bacl;
to primitive America, where 'man's
work runs from sun to sun; but
woman'S work is never done - and
never done as we'll as today. either
But however vital to our modern
existence the tin can and its contents
may be, it would be useless were ii
not for the opener of the can, the dim"
store device which is the sesame to all
good things-the key to the treasures

By DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING
TT WAS some time ago, before
L anybody blitzkrieged anybody
else, that Doctor Jacobson in
Chicago advocated the gospel
Of relaxation.
His idea was that In
civilization as highly geared rs
ours, rest was a necessity and
that If properly performed. II
would conduce to longevity and
health.
/ always felt that there was
q slight exaggeration in these
statements. but / certainly feel
since moving around in wartime
that a great many people
especially at my age-are over
doing their worrying and ac-
tivities and this gospel could
be used with a great deal OF
valuable results.
IF we could learn how to
balance rest against effort,
calmness against strain, quiet
against turmoil, we would assure
ourselves Of JOY In living and
psychological health for life."
Psychologists believe that
people who accomplish the most
have four main attributes: first,
rhythm in their activities with
periods of maximum output and
accomplishment. alternating with
repose; second, a sense OF values
which makes them minimize
effort; third, ability to reduce
muscular tension: fourth, a
readiness to fall asleep at will.
