Vitamln-rich vegetables make the
best spring tonics and are easy te
find in the markets this week. AS
paragus, coming in from California
is very good and is getting little
cheaper as it becomes more plenti-
full; spinach, kale, and collards con-
tinue good and the price remains
about the same. Beets, carrots, peas
broccoli and cauliflower are in good
supply and reasonable in price; the
same is true of radishes, spring on
ions. lettuce, and rhubarb.
The vegetables from Florida are
still showing the effects of the cold
rainy weather in that area. Some
lima and string beans are coming
from there but they are expensive
and not too plentiful. Greens from
Florida likewise are high; eggplant
Is good, however, and while not cheap
stays in the medium-pr range.
Citrus fruits continue to be of excel
lent quality and there are plenty of
them around. Strawberries reflect
the bad weather in the South, they
are not only scarce but of very poor
quality; the same may be said for
tomatoes, they're high in price and
very ordinary.
There is good news concerning the
meat situation Pork is cheaper,
and there is a good stock of all
other meat items. If you'll follow
your grocery lads" this week end,
you'll see where you can serve meat
enough for a family of 4 to 6 for
less than TO cents. These cuts in
clude short ribs of beef, plate beef,
breast of veal and lamb, and veal
shank. Another featured item is
eviscerated frying chickens, indi-
vidually packaged, with a complete
chicken in each package.
Fish is plentiful and offers an
excellent variety for lenten dinners.
For your selection you will find
croakers, trout, butter fish, rock,
Spanish mackerel, fresh herring,
hahbut and salmon steaks, had
dock and rosefish fillets, raw shrimp
and oysters. I'm told butter and
eggs are down in price this week
end, which is cheering news for the
food buyer of the house.
A new package of frozen canapes
Is now available at a number of
stores in town. They come "a to a
box, need only to 8 minutes in a
hot oven to be ready for serving,
and can be kept frozen in the deep
freeze compartment of your refrig-
orator until ready to use. The origi-
nator of these tasty little tidbits is
trained home economist with years
of experience as writer and editor
and in actual catering service right
here in Washington before the war
The unusual assortment of canapes
includes salmon embedded on toast,
tiny Goldfish balls fried in deep fat,
q cheese blend, and small puff paste
shells filled with forcemeat.
A reminder: Spare stamp No. SO,
now good for pounds of sugar, eX-
pires on March 81. Spare stamp
No. II is good for 10 pounds on April
!. However, this allotment must
stretch through the early canning
season when strawberries and other
berries are ready for home preserv-
ing. Look ahead and save some
for jellies and jams. This year no
extra canning sugar will be allot-
ted; household and canning sugar
are issued in the one larger allot-
ment on given stamp.

SCHEDULE.
COMMENT

From Mrs. NJ. W. H., Arlington.)
For Mrs. L. M. Med, re house
work scheduling to include care of
a new baby: I think you will find
your schedule will have to revolve
around the baby's, so after your
doctor gives you his feeding rou-
tine, take a few moments to write
it down, also noting the various
household chores you wish to ac-
complish in between. Each baby
differs IN sleeping habits. so later
on you will learn how to plan more
definitely. Don't get discouraged Il

Squeeze water from sweater (do not

turkish towel to remove excess mois-
ture. Then lay sweater fiat on

Place pins about half inch apart
and be sure that both sides of
sweater are even. Let sweater dry
completely without removing pins
Dry in room temperature, away from
extreme heat. A sweater dryer may
be used. Ordinarily, soap is not left
in the water, but in this case the
suds will help to soften the wool
and make it more stretchy.' Borax
is always good to use in the water
bath for woolens.'
| There was also a request for paint
ing fiber rug. with ordinary floor
or deck paint, apply solid dark
color over entire rug. Allow to dry
Apply a second contrasting or
lighter color with q large-pored
sponge, carrying just enough paint
so that when it touches the surface
it will leave mottled effect. When
this is dry, any design can be
painted on, either by stretching in
the design first with crayon, or by
using a stencil. Remember these
points: /. Spread newspapers under
the rug before painting to absorb
any seepage. 2. A solid color back
ground will show every footprint.
3. When storing for the winter, rug
must be rolled loosely as the paint
dries out the fiber and tight rolling
may cause a split to appear"
Am wondering how many houS-
wives realize the Importance of
using steel wool around the house.
Keep the nickel plating on your
electric range shining by using this
often. Use it to clean electric iron,
waffle iron, and the toasters. Won
derful for removing rust stains from
linoleum and black marks on floors
and stairs. Always rub steel wool
on mild soap before using.
With Easter near, and more sugar,
perhaps the readers will want to
make their own Easter eggs this
year. Here is my recipe and they're
easy to make and excellent in taste:
Peel and boil one large potato
until very soft. Drain and mash
until free from Jumps. Add four
tablespoons melted butter and pinch
of salt. Add sifted confectioner's
sugar until very stiff. When the
sugar comes in contact with the
potato, the potato seems to melt
However, before making very stiff
the favoring must be added. This
can be of your choice. I usually
divide mixture into equal portions
and then to one add fresh coconut,
to another fruit and nuts, and some
can be made into peppermint, choc-
olate, almond or just vanilla. Knead
mixture until very stiff. Shape into
egg shape with hands and place on
wax paper. Place to cool. Melt
baking chocolate in double boiler
and add small amount chipped
paraffln. This gives a gloss to the
coating. Using toothpicks coat the
eggs one at a time by dipping in
| the hot chocolate.
use the cake decorator to do a
professional job. Use butter icing
and add food colors to divided por-
tions. Pink for flowers, green for
leaves, and white for the writing
of names. These eggs can be made
large enough to write names on
them or very small. Any size de-
sired"
| In my neighborhood the neigh
bors help one another in this and
! it's loads of fun.

SOAP FACTS.
From Mrs. M. H. LIE c., Arlington. J
A soap is a chemical compound
between lye and the fatty acids
yielded by fats or oils. The fatty
acids are mild and harmless even
if applied to the skin or taken in
ternally. Lye, of course, is harsh
corrosive and poisonous when un-
neutralized by fatty acids to form
soaps. In making soap it is difficult
to get all the fat to react without
using an excess of lye. If all the
fat is not reacted the excess fat
tends to "kill' the soapy properties
of the soap actually formed, and
in fact with sufficient free fat the
mixture becomes hand cream OF
cold cream. With the fat all reacted
and an excess of lye present the
soap is harsh and corrosive. Borax
mild alkali, has the property OF
buffering or weakening the caustic
properties of lye, and hence is used
in homemade soaps to buffer the
free lye in the soap. The best soar
Is neutral one, made so as to have
no free fat and no free lye, but
making such soap Is very difficult
in the household. AL neutral soaps
regardless of the fat from which
they are made, ar just about the
same as far as harshness is con-
cerned, since they all hydrolyze OF
liherate trace of free lye wher
dissolved in water. However, the

AUTOMATIC WASHER

From Mrs. J. L. S., Washington
was one of the original inquirers
concerning the automatic washing
machines. The pros won, so I pur-
chased one and I now join them in
most enthusiastic praise. My only
objection is the fact that I can't
give them to all my friends as
Christmas presents! I've tested them
over and over and find a full wash
ing uses exactly one large laundry
tub of water (hot and cold COM
bined) so it is not as extravagant of
water as one would think. Also one
load will do all the wearing apparel
fo- three little girls, my husband and
myself for two days, which is a lot
of clothing.
Evening star., 1947-03-27

you cannot always finish jobs or
time and even If you have to let
something 60. Take time out for q
nap, preferably in the afternoon; il
does wonders for your disposition
My only concrete suggestion is thai
you set aside certain days for each
large chore, such as washing, iron.
ing, house cleaning, and stick tc
them if at all possible Also, if you
have washing machine buy enough
diapers to last 2 or days (about
DOZEN so that you won't have tc
dabble with them so often. The
first three months are the hardest
but you will soon get in the groove
and really enjoy that baby, so good
luck!
And, now, do any of you ladies
have any suggestions as to how we
can cope with landlords who dislike
children? Isn't there any way we
can educate them to the knowledge
that they are necessary for the
perpetuation of our race? Because
of our 7-month- we have been
requested to leave, and have met
other apartment owners with the
same antibaby attitude. I know
there must be many other families
in our position. What can we do?

STAINS IN PERCOLATOR. 2
from Mrs. F. L. M, Alexandria,
I want to thank all the readers
who sent in such grand recipes fol
corn bread and spoon bread. have
tried several of them and have at
last found the type of corn bread
recipe I had been looking for.
I was interested in an inquiry
from M. G. E., Bethesda, regarding
coffee stains in an aluminium per-
colator and thought she might want
to try very good trick / learned
for removing stains and brighten
ing aluminium. Fill the percolatol
with water, add about one teaspoon
of cream of tartar and allow to
perk about five to ten minutes. ]
haven't tried this in a percolator
incidentally, but it works wonders
with stained or darkened aluminium
saucepans and my aluminium drip
