TO KEEP CELERY.
Mrs. J. J. W., Falls Church)a i
In answer to the request
of Mrs. w. L. H. of Hyattsville
for advice on storing celery

washed it and stored it in
plastic bags. Finally I found
out that by not washing 1t
or putting it into a bag, and
instead placing it in the cris-
per (Which most refrigerators
have) I can keep it for about
10 days without whiting.

using milk instead of cream
soup for scalloped potatoes, l
always make a medium thick

over the potatoes to bake. Hope
you can use these hints.

were willing and able to seek
maximum personal health service.
At the moment, people with volun-

those who make the most use OF

families with insurance now spend
more than twice as much money
on health service as those without.
These insured families also use
twice as much dental care, al

are in better health and will have
fewer serious illnesses than those
who postpone or avoid medical
care.
