Lynn Says:
Speaking of Stuffings: The old
fashioned bread dressing is easi
ly adapted to many variations.
Here is the basic idea: To 1*4
pounds of dried bread cut in one
inch cubes add *4 to 1 cup melted
butter, 1 teaspoon salt. Mi tea
spoon white pepper. 44 cup
minced onion, cooked but not
browned, and 2 tablespoons of
poultry dressing Toss lightly and
stuff fowl.
If you like crisp celery tasty
dressing, add 2 cups finely
chopped celery to the bread
dressing
On the other hand, if you like
the crispness of chestnuts, add 1
pound of chestnuts, chopped and
cooked.
Giblets go well with bread
dressing, cook and chop and toss
into bread dressing Mushrooms
are distinctive, if simply chopped
and sauteed in butter and added
to bread stuffing.
Oysters make a tempting dress
ing. Use 1 pint, chopped and
heated until edges curl in 3 ta
blespoons butter.

PREPAREDNESS
h ♦
□AMERICAN RED CROSS
NATION at war must guard
ts health. One sure guard,
and one of the best forms of pre
paredness is proper diet.
Since World War I, the Amer
ican Red Cross has offered the
nation's housewives nutrition;
courses, designed to teach both j
men and women how to eat and j
keep well and strong. But Amer
icans felt that since they were the |
best fed people of the world, they
must also be the best nourished.
In that belief they were mistaken.
The army reported that one
third of all applicants for war
service were being rrjccled
because of poor health—bad
teeth, heart trouble, poor eye
sight, skin diseases—all trace
able to undernourishment.
America's mothers and house
wives were shocked into action.
Within the past year, more than !
250.000 women have won Red Cross '
Food and Nutrition certificates by
attending these courses held by
Red Cross chapters in more than
1,850 counties throughout the Unit
ed States.
In these Food and Nutrition
courses, women learned the
importance of preparing and
serving the right amounts of
the right kinds of foods—foods
which contained the needed
health protective qualities to
keep their husbands fit for jobs
in the shipyards, the farms,
the mines, the steel miils, and
to build their children into
physically stronger Americans.

Chinese ‘Rights*
In New York city, every Chi
nese who rents a store or some
; other business building claims1
that he has a "basic property
1 right” in it and, therefore, will
not allow another Chinese to lease
i it until the man has purchased this
right, says Collier's. When such
a demand runs into thousands of
dollars, the owner is seldom able !
to rent the property again to a 1
member of this race.

Too many people uho talk about war

Dance in Trance
Until they were invaded by Ja

Bali staged an odd ritual, the par
ticipants being a group of girls
about eight years of age, says Col

they performed a dance with mu
sic lasting a half-hour, although in
a trance induced by a narcotic.

In the home, plants give off
moisture through the leaves, from
the surface of the soil, and from
the pot itself if it is of the porous
type, so provide sand, sphagnum
moss or similar material, to keep
the pots moist. And, if possible,
keep the temperature down to be
low 68 degrees.
