Leaving $4,000 Yet TO Be
Raised In District

Rural Laurel so far has raised
only o"ne-seventh of its quota for

be raised in about a weeks time,
if the job is completed by the first

he was ready to make a dream
come true, that of steam cooking
and then rolling grain into break

not quite sure that everything
about the mill had been set right,

no charge. Glen Eastlick was the

Why is the first summer any
more dangerous than another? Be-
cause the baby Is learning to cat
food other than milk. Digestive
disturbances and intestinal infec-
tons may develop unless 1t Is pro-
perly prepared, kept perfectly clean
and well refrigerated so that bacte-
ria cannot grow In 1t.
TEETHTNG NOT TO BLAME
Mother used to take the baby to
the family table and feed him a lit
tie Of anything the grownups ate,
often from the same bacteria laden
spoon or fork that she herself used.
No wonder he developed intestinal
infections vaguely called summer
complaint Now the baby has his
own dish and spoon, with food es-
pecially prepared for him and suit
ed to his powers Of digestion.
In the old days, when the baby
got sick during his first summer
teeth, the wiseacres blamed the
teeth. They poked exploratory fling
ers (often ulwasheO into his mouth
to investigate. His resistance had to
be very god If he did not succumb
to the germs thus introduced to his
little body.
The babies Of the past sweltered
through the summer III wooden
shirts that would make an iron man
chew his fingers. When the baby
chewed his, they were sure he was
suffering with his teeth. Now the
baby wears nothing but his diaper
in hot weather, and because he is
cool and comfortable he goes
through the teething process with
flying colors.

sized increase because dozens o.
areas were given more sugar but
only q few We're cut.
Outside of these indirect bene-
fits you aren't likely to see any
change in sugar rations, Govern
ment supply experts point out that
even vast improvement in the
shipping situation which might
come from military successes won't
add much to the home folks sugar
supply. War demands for sugar are
still too high. There will be new de-
mands for occupied countries
later.
During the arst five months of
this year sugar imports went up
more than a fourth. But experts
eying the domestic sugar situa-

as low as it was in 1913, that is, 40
per cent below normal.

Sack Cloth And Feed Bags
Make Smart Salvage Styles
by EPsE KINARD
NEA Staff Writer

New York.--Since cotton feed
bags and flour sacks have gone into
fancy print r-blanded stripes,
polka dots, florals and even whimsi-
cal designs--the ladies who seize
them to make into gay frocks have
to be restrained, I'm told, from
dumping out the grain and the
flour.
Can you blame them when you
see smart cotton print frocks like
the prize winner shown on the
child above, made from such feed
bags? Utilizing two 100-pound
bags each 36x42 inches Mrs.
Lena Fogler, Of Atlantic High
lands, N. j., used the lightning
flash white background print pat
termed in two vivid shades Of blue
to make an eight-gored skirt for
a youngsters dress, cut by
standard pattern. She topped 1t
with a brief white pique waist,
and for an expenditure OF eaxactly
SO cents walked off with q con-
servation-group prize in Alma
Kitchell's Sewing Contest, q local
pre-runner Of the National Sewing
Contest.
These bags, explains Mrs. Fog
Ter, come in two other sizes-little
fellows 12xl4 inches and enormous
ones that measure 40x54. Matched
in design, three large ones will make
a woman's dress and sometimes few
er are needed to make slip covers,
ruffles for bedspreads, window cur
tains, dressing table skirts.
To get them ready for the sew
ing machine soak bags overnight

TABLE TALK

Connecticut War Council
Clear The Shelves
orocers and housewives alike have
made inventories Of canned goods
on hand. As q result Of the growers
inventory, the ration point value Of
many canned goods has been lower
ed to clear the stock and make room
for the new seasons pack. Canned
fruits and vegetables lose quality II
allowed to remain on the shelves too
long. Home canned products may
keep indefinitely without actual
spoilage, but vitanins are lost and
color, texture and flavor are
changed. SO It behooves the wise
hoHnemaker to check carefully her
supply Of home canned products
and make room for this years crop.
Many persons canned last year
for the first time. The experience
should be helpful in making plans
for this summers canning. Perhaps
there Is an over supply Of jams or
pickles--if so, an adjustment should
be made this year. One should put
the emphasis in canning on the es-
sential foods, like tomatoes and the
green and yellow vegetables.
Anyone who still has q supply Of
home canned vegetables on hand
should use them as rapidly as pos
sihle. However, canned tomatoes put
up last season may be counted on
for good supply Of vitamins A and
G until the native cropy is ready.
Two suggestions are given for the
use Of canned corn and green beans
since they seem to be the ones on
most shlves.
Snap Beans and Tomato
2 cups cooked snap beans
slices bacon
IL teaspoon salt
cup tomato.
Cut bacon In small pieces and fry
until SUFFICIENT fat Is tried out to
cover bottom Of the pan. Add beans
and salt and fry for few minutes.
Add tomatoes, bring to boiling point
and serve.
Corn Mock Bisque Soup
pint canned corn
/ quart milk
slice onion (chopped)
3 tablespoons flour
Ia cup cold water
pint canned tomatoes
2 teaspoons salt
la teaspoon pepper
1-8 teaspoon paprika
Scald milk in double boiler with
corn and onion. Mix -four with cold
water to form a smooth paste and
add to scalded milk; then cook 20
minutes, stirring constantly at first
and afterward occasionally. Heat
tomatoes and rub through sieve.
Pour tomato into milk, slowly, just
before serving. Add seasonings;
serve hot.
