Report to the Housewife

As this is being written, after a
survey Of the local marketing scene,
Il would appear that relatively few
u us will be fortunate enough to
find turkey on our THANKSGIVING
dinner table this year. Dealers re-
port that supplies are even shorter
than they expected-and, goodness
knows, they were anything but op-
timistic about the subject when in
terviewed last week! One whole
saler who had an order in for 400
birds found, when the shipment
arrived, that he received exactly SO.
Other dealers have much the same
story to tell, and all are loath to
promise any last-minute relief.
Retail ceilings on turkeys in
Washington. markets would indi-
cate a selling price Of between so
and So cents per pound, depending
upon the size of the bird and other
factors; but that is only an approxi-
mate figure in general picture.
Comparing this years setup with
that of l941, that's quite q jump,
when average prices ranged between
81 and 46 cents per pound, and def
nitely more than the 1910 Thanks
giving, when turkeys were selling for
from 26 cents to AZ cents per pound.
Last year prices ranged from AZ to 81
cents per pound, depending on quail
fly OF course, there has always been
a higher price range on very fancy
turkeys sold in the speciality mar
kets, and procrastinators each year,
who have waited until the last
minute to get the birds, have always
paid considerably more.
If you don't find a turkey, we
suggest that if you have the points,
you turn to pork loins, fresh pork
picnic shoulders; if you can really
splurge on coupons, therell be legs
of lamb, beef roaSts and ready-to-
eat hams available. Chickens, of
course, will be on hand in adequate
supply and include stewers, roasters
and fryers. They, too, will cost more
than last year, with bakers selling
at AZ cents a pound, as against
80 in 1912. Nobody seems to have
glimpsed duck in ages and geese
are also few and far between.
There are good supplies of fresh
eranberries in most markets, but
canned cranberry sauce is very
scarce and calls for the use of points,
too. The fresh berries are more
expensive than they were for the
pre-Pearl Harbor holiday, when
they sold on an average of pounds
for Is cents-this season you'll pay
between % and SO cents a pound
for them. Last years price was from
II to 81 cents Other "trimmin'S,
such a celery, show some increase
two punches of the table kind selling
for 20 cents now, as against Is and
% cents in 1912. Sausage meat for
stuffing IS cents instead of % cents
pound, and mixed nuts are As
cents a pound-"befo' de wah" they
averaged Is cents and last season
only 33 to 81 cents pound
oysters are about same - the
average being between 55 and so

Cabbage Soup
Fine Dish

French cabbage soup is famous
and with a salad and dessert
makes a grand meal. America
may we'll know this wholesome
soup.
While there are many recipes,
this one is among the most popu-
lar; Put pound of salt or picked
pork into kettle together with a
bouquet of parsley, thyme and a
couple Of bay leaves. Cover with
cold water, bringing it slowly to
the boiling point and then SIM
mer for an hour. Then take out
the pork and set aside. Also re-
move the herbs. Now add to the
broth two or three cut-up carrots
and a turnip or two and a head
of cabbage which has been finely
shredded. (Curly cabbage or
savoy is nice inthis soup.)
Bring to the boiling point and
simmer the vegetable mixture for
an hour and a half, adding some
parsley and chopped onion
about half an hour before COM
pletion. Some Of the pork may be
cut into dice and added and some
people include a cup or two OF
diced raw potatoes, simmering
until the potatoes are tender.

pumpkin ut your dealers why not
substitute 4 squash or sweet potato
pie?
There seem to be . number Of
good fresh fruits on the market

tables, from which to take your
pick, depending on your finances,
will also be on hand.
All in all, this second wartime
Thanksgiving Day is going to show
considerable changes on the dinner
tables Of the Nation. Not only are
prices high, but 50 many items are
nonexistent or rationed out OF sight.
It would appear that tradition is
going to be jolted to its very founda-
tions, and the full impact Of war
time living conditions will be brought
home with bang to those who
have been doing business Is usual"
Families are scattered to the four
winds, holiday time is "out," living
conditions and the domestic servant
problem-all combine, along with
the market situation, to discourage
observance Of Thanksgiving in the
old manner. Most Of US will trek
to work as usual on Thursday and
be glad enough to dine simply and
and well within the
ration restrictions, come that eve
ming.
This is no year for lavish spreads
and expensive displays. This Is
year when our Thanksgiving should
be = very solemn and thoughtful
one, when mental digestion is more
important to our welfare than
physical safety.

lady who wanted to paint her sum-
mer rugs. Several times / have
done this after considerable re-
search and advice. My rugs are
the rush, foot-square blocks. The
idea is to restain or recolor them.
The blocks are alternately green
and natural. I did nothing to the
natural, but as to the green: Buy
good grade of quick-drying
enamel OF the desired shade, then,
with twice the quantity OF turpen-
tine (that is, "a pint enamel and
l pint turpentine) paint on with
a brush and allow to dry. 1t works
wonderfully well. A friend of mine
has a Chinese oval rush rug with
red-and-black border. She did over
her border but allowed one color to
dry thoroughly before doing the sec
ond color. My green and natural
rug is reversible and did both sides
The faintest touch of green went on
to the floor, although professional
advice assured me the method was
indelible. However, the floor cleaned
up with one light rub OF floor gaso-
line cleaner. My rugs are years
old and look like new. This is an
ideal time to paint summer rugs be-
cause they can dry for a long time.
As TO aluminium pan cleaner:
Nothing Is 80 miraculous as boiling
in the pot heaping tablespoon of
sal or washing soda. It even loosens
burned, charred food. Boil 10 min
utes. then rub lightly with securing
powder. This is really easy. The
outsides may be done by putting
one pan inside Of another to boil.
Silver can be cleaned as If by
magic IN the sal soda. l fill my
porcelain sink with very hot water
add u cup sal soda, stir until dis
solved. Then I place my large
aluminium cookie sheet at the bot
tom Of the sink. All silver which
touches the aluminium becomes
clean. Allow approximately S min
utes for the tarnish to vanish. do
not fully understand the chemical
reaction, but I never leave my silver
in longer than 10 minutes just to be
on the safe side. A whole sink full
may be cleaned at one time. I then
rinse in clear water and dry.
Children's gloves can very easily
be made from husbands wool socks
which are worn at the heel. One
pair makes two pairs of mittens.

potatoes are dark ana pegln 10 look
transparent, about Y hour to /
hour. Basic frequently. If sirup
thickens too quickly, add little
water, but when potatoes are done,
1t should be quite thick.
To make sirup: Put into 4 sauce
pan (preferably enamel or glass; q
sufficient quantity of water to just
about cover potatoes. The amount,
of course. will depend on size Of
baking dish and quantity Of pota-
toes. Add enough brown sugar to
make a dark and quite sweet sauce
when sugar Is dissolved. Then pour
into it suficient vinegar to "cut" the
heavy sweetness and add 4 pun

Of butter and boil sirup slowly for
10 to IS minutes, or until ingredients
are well blended. Pour over pota-

SPICY POMANDERs.
Thanks to Mrs. M. S. p, Beltspille.) }
I am a comparatively new reader,
but I enjoy your Cleaning House
immensely and wish to contribute q
recipe which was requested last week.
It's for "Spicy Pomanders. They
can be made with oranges or apples
and make lovely extra gift to put
in a Christmas box just as sachet is
often done. Cloves are used as
preservative, so it's not necessary to
use any additional preparations.
Start with a medium sized, we'll
shaped, perfect apple. Wash, dry
and then rub with a well-greased
cloth. Next, select q handful of
cloves with heads il possible. The
headless ones may be used to I'LL in
around the knobby ones. Begin at
the top of the apple, forcing q row
of cloves in a circle around the stem
pushing them all the way up to the
heads. Follow row after row till the
apple is thickly covered with the
spice. Then let the apple stand two
hours on absorbent paper to let the
juice drain out; let stand until fruit
is well dried. Tie a bow of bright
ribbon to the stem, wrap in vaxed
paper and your pomander is ready
to put among clothing, linen or as
a gift.
Oranges may be used much the
same way. Select a thin-skinned
orange and stud with cloves the
same rs the apple. Then roll the
orange in an equal part mixture Of
powdered orris root and powdered
cinnamon, allowing about two tea
spoons Of each spice per orange. Rub
generously over Glove studded orange
then wrap in tissue paper. Keep for
q week then gently brush of the
excess powder.
This recipe was taken from Better
Home and Gardens Magazine several
years ago.

card. Ready-prepared puddings
are scarce, cranberry jelly on the
