past methods bit. letting the points influ-
ence her in making out the shopping list
The plan will cause difficulty at first and

meal, as rourishing dinner with enough
to satisfy the appetite, as ever OF course we
have lived too much out of cans Now we are
going 20 change tactics with the family ap-

fresh vegetables. Heretofore the tomatoes,
peas. corn and beans were put up for our
convenience by famous brands i'm shining

clean carrots, string beans, shell peas Wen
raise cur corn and tomatoes in the back

asparagus and iceberg lettuce, we'll have to
grow our own. But we are goirg to be sure
to plant food for canning. Wives of Key

seem hard hit by the point system we are
going to recover and no doubt improve
