Washington. April l2-Spring is
Just around he caendar, thousands
OF families are marking off Victory
Garden plots, and hardware dealers
Of America are most apprehensive,
The reason: empty shelves where
hoes. rakes, spades. forks, hooks
used to be.
The prospects Glum, because Vic
tory Gardens are on the increase:
WEB rulings on Simplified Victory
model garden tools went into effect
lcng after spring tool shipments
should be made to dealers: last years
supplies and this years meager quo
tas are fast disappearing.
The solution: Share your tools with
your next dcSr neighbor. and u you
own q lawn mower or grass shears,
treasure them. There1l be no more
TIL after the war.
GLOBALLOTMENTS
To further conserve on copper and
brcss, salvage officials are promot-
ing campaigns around the country
urging householders to save one cleo
rio light globe a month. It's being
worked out nicely in Sat Lake City.
Another item on the salvage list is
the condensed milk tin once excud-
ed from the tin can list. Just slit it
across the top. remove paper, cean

.'EatingPOintS'
Are Criteria
OfFOOd Value

Many housewives are still buying
their meat from q viewpoint OF
''cheapness" or ''dearness" In terms
Of points in their ration book. II
pound Of meat costs 10 points they
believe pound Of meating costing
points Is q better buy. But that
Is not necessarily so. You may ac-
tually get more meat for your ten
points pound that for the lower
costing pound. And often, you may
get much better flavor and q degree
Of tenderness which viii make the
meat more acceptable to all mem
bers Of the family. Remember this
UNLESS food is enjoyed and eaten,
1t is no bargain.
Let's take pork for example. A
pound Of pork tenderloin costs 10
points. A pound Of pork spare.
ribs costs only 4 points. Are the
spareribs the best buy? That will
depend partly on your food budget
in dollars and on how much the
family likes spareribs. But re-
member this - the spareribs at 4
points contain a large percentage
Of bone. Whereas the pork ten
derloin, always delicacy, con-
tains nothing but meat, no bone
at all. SO II for special featS,
such as Easter dinner, you want
the tenderloin, perhaps the 10
points-a-pound tenderloin Is really
a better buy than the 4-points-a-
pound spareribs.
Don't Pay for Bones
A pound of sirloin steak costs 8
points. A pound Of top round
steak costs points. Yet the round
steak is far better economy buy.
The round is all meat with no
bone, whereas the sirloin contains
a large bone. However, If sirloin
Is badly wanted by all the family
and the purse can stand the cost,
then sirloin should be the meat
for the dinner. You can save
some of the initial cost by intelli-
gent treatment OF the steak. Trim
off all the excess fat and fry it
out. Keep cold in refrigerator to
use as drippings for other dish
es. Also, use the bone and left
over ships for soup stock or for
stock to be used as the basis for
other dishes, such as dried bean
casseroles or extending gravies.
Probably the biggest bargains
in the meat field are speciality
meats, such as brains, liver. kid
ney, etc. A pound Of. pork liver
costs only 5 points and is usually
very Inexpensive in money cost.
too. But 1t Is a delicious meat
when properly cooked, has great
food value, and Is all meat.

There are two main reasons
