FOOD COSTS.
From Mrs. c. C. S., ARLINGTON J
I,a TIA ran Iar. mia tai

/ fFTOm MIS-. L. L. D., ArfnQIOn.t
To the reader who wanted sug-
aestions as to how to save on food
costs for a large family, our fam
lily consists of parents. S small
children and grandmother, and
our buying is similar. as we also
like fruit, butter, roasts, etc. and
believe children need these foods.
We have been trading with an
independent grocery store. Re-
Gently the store was closed for
two months due to fire and we
were forced to buy at chain stores
and our grocery bills were consid-
erably more. AS we buy quite a
few groceries, the owner of one
store sees to it that We get the
bargains and he makes suggestions
as to what are best buys. We
also have q freezer refrigerator
which holds So pounds of frozen
food and enables us to buy frozen
foods, "on sale" For example, we
bought our Christmas fowl right
after Thanksgiving when prices
had gone down and then stored
IN the freezer. We also buy
several items in quantities such as
eggs which we have shipped by
crate from Illinois and they are
usually half price for what We
have to pay here. OF course. we
also get discount on our milk,
due to the quantity we use. Hope
these suggestions are of help.
We've often wished for a child
study or parents group made up
of parents or mothers of large
families. The average child study
group does not discuss problems of
the larger family because there
seem to be so few.

WhyGrow''

Bv Josebhise Losesnon

BY Josephine Lototn0~
Today I am answering the letter
from a young woman who dieted
without direction and too siren.
uously, with resulting loss OF
beauty and health. Later she
gained a sufficient amount Of the
lost weight back for health but
does not yet feel well or vital and
has figure difficulties. She wants
to know how to reduce safely and
stay slender without starving. >.
Women hear that reducing can
be dangerous but they too often
fail to take this seriously. That Is
why I have printed the letter this
week in order to give you real
life example.
The body must have certain es-
sential foods in order to supply
energy and to build health, to
repair body tissues. avoid anemis
and keep health at q high level.
It is possible to reduce and still
supply the body with these neces-
sary foods II you know how to do
it. However. the process Of simply
cutting down on food. without
knowledge of which foods are es-
sential and which can be left out
or cut down. is extremely haz-
ardous. Q
Let us consider the daily diet
OF would-be reducer. For a young
girl. a quart Of milk should be
included daily-for an adult. two
glasses a day. The cream can be
syphoned off the top of the bottle
or buttermilk can be used.
2. Some whole grain. This can
be in the form Of three slices Of
whole wheat day or cereal in the
morning. You can use milk. in
stead Of cream on your cereal and
go easy" on sugar.
8. Some lean meat or fish or
fowl. Leave off gravy and fat meat
and dressing.
4. An egg at least five times O
week (poached or boiled.
5. Some fresh fruit daily (not
canned.
s. A green or yellow vegetable.
7. A green salad. with lemon
juice or a little vinegar and water
no regular dressing).
8. A medium baked potato. (ne
other way, and with little butter). i.
8. Citrus or tomato juice or o
couple Of oranges, or both.
You can safely leave off Sec
onds," nuts, salad dressings, des-
serts, gravy. fat meat. rolls. bis
cult, fried foods and cream and
candy. Go easy on butter and sea-
soning. A young woman needs
more calories than an older one.
A young girl requires even more.
You do not have to starve but can
be well fed.
II you continue losing after You
are the right weight, add q few
more calories to your diet. If you
continue gaining cut back q little.
| The young woman whose letter
I published should eat a we'll
balanced diet but leave off soma
Of these trimmings" I have men,
toned above. She should eat q
vital diet but not one full Of rich
high-caloric foods such as candy
and desserts. She is not over
weight now. She should concen-
trate on waist and abdominal exer-
cises. Be satisfied with q. gradual
!. loss.

For Mrs. c. A. D.. Dillwyn; II

given foods in which they are
used. Almost any recipe calling
for nuts may have black walnuts
substituted. but in smaller amount
than called for, since they are so
much more flavorful. In particu-
lar. I use them in spice cake, ba-
mana cake, banana bread, fudge,
almost all kinds of cookies. etc.
In fact, I buy them in preference
to all other kinds and keep them
fresh by putting them in the re-
frigerator in an alright contain

kind become rancid when thus
stored. even though they have
been on hand from one season to
