Nylon sewing thread has desirable
characteristics for many purposes,
particularly in sewing nylon fabrics.
Strength and size can be kept uni
form. Being highly resistant to
abrasion, it assures long-lasting
seams. Be sure sewing machine
needle is the right size for the
thread. Most nylon thread is COM
parable in size to number 70 or 80

Because of the plentiful supply
of fowl, now on the retail market,
We have been asked to give these
mature hens special boost for
three days this week, just in time
for your weekend shopping, too.
The days are January Is, is, II.
One reason for the current abun-
dance Of these large fowl-known
to most of us as. stewing chickens
is due largely to culling of laying
fiocks to save grain. At this time
Of the year producers sell the ma
ture hens from last years flock to
make room for the pullets. When
the hens slow dNwn on laying they
aren't worth their keep, so to speak,
thus In order to conserve on grain
the poultrymen are culling out large
numbers of these nonproductive
hens and sending them to the mar
ket.
Viewed from the standpoint Of
economy these fowls are thrifty
meat buys. The prices on chickens
have not gone up in proportion to
the prices of beef and pork. Still
another point in favor of the stew
ing hen (or fowl as they are re-
ferred to by the trade, some call
them bakers, while cookery experts
call them braising fowl is the
number of ways in which they can
be cooked and served; stewed or
fricasseed is just the beginning OF
what can be done with these ma

ture birds. However, whatever
method you may choose, remember
this: These are mature birds and
need some cooking with moisture to
make them tender and juicy. II you
want to roast these chickens, do so,
but not by the regulation dry-heat
method in an open roasting pan. In
stead cover the pan and thus create
little steam to help tenderize the
meat, then the last half hour or so
remove the cover so the chicken
may take on nice golden brown
finish.
Or the hens may be disjointed
and the pieces Drowned in fat just
as you do for your young tender
fryers, only from here on vary your
method a bit. Cover the pan and
let the chicken cook slowly either
In the oven, or on top of the stove,
or in your pressure cooker.
The d-fashioned stewed chicken
is the basis for many of those popu-
lar dishes people never seem to
tire Of: Chicken pie, fricassee,
with dumplings, salad, creamed,
a la king, croquettes, loaves, cas-
seroles and scalloped dishes. There
is world of difference in the way

WhyGrow
Old?
By JOSEPHINE Lowman

| r
Not long ago read a news report
about woman who was suing some
one who threw q brick at her head.
When she discovered that the brick
was aimed at her husband rather
than herself, she Withdrew her suit.
This was interesting reading, not
only because of It's comic page
humor, but because it high lighted
a very human tendency. In mars
riage, as well as in most human
relationships, we are apt to be much
more tolerant of ourselves than we
are of others. We sometimes help
throw the brick which we would
have bitterly resented. had 1t been
aimed at us.
know of no other attribute which
so prolongs youth or gives a woman
such charm as Z sympathetic, toll
Grant viewpoint. When we come
right down to it, we never know
what we would do in any given sit
uation until we encounter it. Life
can become pretty drab unless we
cherish some vibrant loyalties which
make us resent insult or hurt to
others, even more than we do that
which comes our way.
It sometimes seems to me that
many marriages become contest
of some sort and yet grim attitude
in woman completely destroys her
attractiveness. Vindictiveness pulls
the corners Of her mouth down into
ugly lines, while love and happiness
give her whole face a glow.
AS long as we have a husband, 1t
does seem that he deserves our 10y
atty. AS long as we stay with q job
the concern for which we work de-
mands our respect. And as long as
we have friend, he is worth stick
ing up for. At any rate, feel GER
tain that this kind Of viewpoint
would revitalize life for many women
and would make them much more
magnetic.
I do not know why we women are
so susceptible to sensitiveness and a
bristling attitude toward life. Per-
haps it is because most women find
expression only through other hui
man beings (Which is always an ex-
citing but unknown quantity) and
because they are somewhat shut In
from the big wide world of activity.
No woman can have a more stim-
ulating or important job than that
Of creating q successful marriage or
rearing fine children who will grow
up to be happy and well-adapted cit
liens. This requires all Of the
charms of Cleopatra, the under
standing Of q fine doctor or clergy
man, the art Of q domestic science

and the psychology of an expert
It doesn't hurt to pull few rabbits
out of your pocket, either.
A laughing, loving woman who
likes the world and the people in it
who forgives easily and who doesn't
take herself too seriously, is the best
thing that can happen to any mar
or herself.

worrying about every little thing
