A year ago Wickard advised city

the expanded demand for food and
the prospect of severe rationing
has made it necessary to expand
food production as much as posi-
BILE.
Victory gardens offer those on
the home front a chance to get in

I'VE need more food than ever be-
fcre-for our armed forces and our
Allies and to keep those at the

Wickard recommended that VIC

brush up!
Alice Winchester, editor of An
tiques Magazine, has Just COM
pleted a brief handbook which is
a fascinating introduction to all
branches Of the subject. In this
she outlines the origin of our fur
niture, shows its change and de-
velopment through the centuries
in such a simple graphic way that
all the mystery is quickly dis
PEELED. ...
Most valuable part of the whole
volume is its reference to the best
sources of further information on
each subject. Miss Winchester
has given just enough of an entic-
ing subject to intrigue her read
erS to further research. An ex-
pert in the field herself she has
had her finger on the pulse of the
antique market for many years.
In this small volume she has
briefed her own experience and
knowledge and introduces the
works of other writer's who have
delved into the various branches
OF the antique field with minute
detail.

best to use q liquid soap shampoo
containing little alcohol and to rinse
youE hair thoroughly with warm
water until it squeaks with cleanli-
ness. If you have the time, dry your
hair by hand with . clean towel and
then brush it for 10 minutes before
it is set. This will give your hair a
gloss you never suspected it hadl
There are certain rinSes you may
use at home to high light your hair.
A couple of these are homemade af-
fairs, but there are prepared pow
dered and liquid rinses which you
may buy. Follow the directions
which come with the rinse you buy.
Never attempt to tint your own hair
with rinse or dye at home. You
will make a mess OF the job and
might cause harm which cannot be

Hair Care During Cold Weather

Women do not realize that their
hair reacts instantly to the health
condition Of the body and mind
They think of hair apart from their
physique which can be
treated superficially with cosmetic
aids.
The beauty Of your hair depends
entirely upon the state of health of
your body. Keep healthy and feed
the hair what it needs to be glossy
and manageable. And exercise, too,
so that the rich body blood can be
sent to your scalp to feed the hair.
If you do not exercise every day
(and 1 mean stretching and kicking
and rolling, or playing a competitive
sport game). you should massage
your scalp every day with your fin

bride Of . few months, I can cook
attractive things. I hope to make
Christmas cookies for my college
friends: most of them work and
would appreciate home food. And
cookies make cheaper gift than
something I'd buy them.
Where can I get basil, rosemary,
marjoram? I use various spices and
herbs with curiosity and interest, but
have not found these three men,
toned by q donor to your column
sometime ago.
Here IS my own invention, q recipe
for meat loaf, the specially of our
home, Of which am proud. Moisten
three slices old bread under the
faucet and squeeze out. Pull into
half-inch bits. Add one egg. Add
l pound hamburg or ground veal, or
combination. Shake on one tea
spoon salt, one teaspoon celery salt,
a pinch Of pepper, q large pinch of
thyme or sage Il don't like both to-
gether). one bay leaf, tablespoon
Of parsley flakes, then mix. Put in
creased loaf tin and try to make 4
mound of the loaf SO it doesn't
touch sides or ends OF pan; crustier
and nicer that way. II I have left
over tomato in any form I either
mix it in or pour it over the mound
before it goes in the oven, but this
is not necessary at all. A chopped
onion may be added, but then the
loaf is not so good cold sliced the
next day. Bake an hour in = me-
dium oven. Serves four generously.
The herbs and flavorings give it
zest and appetizing taste I have not
run across elsewhere.
In \ way I agree with Mr.. ]. w. C.
that the Clearing House has gone
over to exotic specialties, but I do
appreciate the recent recipes for
Christmas cookies and those OF a
couple of months back for oatmeal
cookies, mousse au chocolate and
lobster concoctions are out of the
price range Of the Navy wife. I'd
like to see some ideas on how to
cook vegetables (green beans, car
rots, spinach) an easy way other
than mere boiling. I do think it is
fun to read the fancier recipes
though, it keeps me interested in
kitchen possibilities and renews my
respect for the profession Of home
making. And I'd certainly never
have been brave enough to try fruit
cake, when I can hardly scramble
eggs yet, II I hadn't seen that
recipe!
