The Frontier Woman—
It’s the Penny Saved on Oft-Purchased
Items that Adds Up to Neat Savings
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
The big question these days is
how to save a dime here and
there. Goodness knows the dol
lars go down the drain like water
through a big holed colander.
Most families need to spend a
third of their income for food
these days. If
you can raise a
garden and can
garden stuff,
have an o r
chard and can
fruit, or buy
fruit and can it,
you are making
a sizeable sav
ing for your
family purse.
To be sure
Blanch* Sp«nn that you are
getting the food
you need these
days and that you are not over
spending, try to remember that
these few simple rules will help
you.
A quart of milk for each
child and a pint for each adult.
Pasteurised, bottled, unsweet
ened evaporated and dried
milk have practically the same
food value. Canned milk can be
used for cooking, and is cheap
er.
At least 6 pounds of vegetables
and fruit a week are needed for
each person ilV your family. One
sixth to one-half of the food mon
ey should go for bread, cerea’s,
macaroni and rice. The weekly
allowance for each person should
be 2- to 4- pounds of bread and 1
to 2-pounds of cereal. The small
er the allowance for food, the
more should be spent on the in
expensive cereals.
The allowance for meat should
not exceed that for milk, unless
the ideal amount of milk has al
ready been bought.
Enough butter, margarine and
other fats should be bought to
supply between one-half and sev
en-eighths of a pound of fat for
every member of the famil/ over
3-years-old.
It is the penny saved on a
pound of butter, a few cents cav
ed on sugar, eggs and bread that
add up to a neat savings, because
these aro the things most often
purchased. Small price differ
ences are not so important on
clothing, since it is bought less
frequently. One overcoat is
bought in 2 or 3 years. But food
is bought every day, and 10 cents
a day. saved on food, amounts to
i3b in a year.
The most expensive food is not
always the most nutritious. Rare,
hard-to-ship, out-of-season food is
not any better for you than
cheaper in-season products. Plan
the meals. Use left overs. If not
enough is left for all, perhaps it
can be combined with something
else. Compare prices at the stores
to learn where values are great
est. Choose a clean store at which
to shop.

Notes Nebraska's
Changeable Weather—
Dear Mrs. Pease:
I am one of your regular read
ers and enjoy the recipes and
helps very much. My hobby is
collecting recipes.
I would like a little help as I
have 2 problems, I would like a
good raised doughnut recipe and
what can I do to keep my brown
sugar from getting hard?
My, how our Nebraska waa
ther can change! Yesterday it
wat such a lovely day and I
washed and spaded up a little
patch of my garden and plant
ed 2 rows of peas, a row of po
tatoes and a few radishes and
planted some bachelor buttons
out in the yard.
Today it is cold and wet out,
after a nice rain last night,
I am enclosing a chocolate cake
recipe that we like very much.
My sister-in-law gave me the
idea of using cream in chocolate
cakes instead of butter or short
ening. I’ve found it works very
nicely. I always keep my butter
in the refrigerator so I have to
wait for it to soften up before I
can do anything with it, and so
by using cream I save a little
time.
CHOCOLATE CAKE
Two cups sugar, Vi cup butter
or other shortening. 2 eggs, 1 cup
sour milk, 1 heaping teaspoon
soda dissolved in hot water, Vi
cup cocoa, in Vi cup boiling wa
ter, 2 Vi cups flour, 1 teaspoon
vanilla. The recipe doesn't call
for salt but I put a half teaspoon
full of salt in. Mix in the order
given and bake at 350 degrees F.
for 30 to 35 minutes. ‘
PIE CRUST
I always have good luck with
this pie crust recipe.
One and one-half cups flour, Vi
cup cold water, Vi cup shorten
ing, Vi teaspoon salt. Sift flour,
measure and sift with salt. Cut in
shortening until mixture is
coarse. Workj water in. Bake in
hot oven of 450 F. about 15 min
utes. Enough for a 2-crust pie or
2 shells.
“A FARMER’S WIFE”
SANDHILL SAL
It doesn’t make so much dif
ference if your pocket book is
small providing you have a big
heart to go with it.
Lots of husbands become hard
boiled because they are kept in
hot water too much.
The penny saved won’t buy
much of anything these days and
a nickel not much. But they’re all
a part of a dollar, don’t forget.
