The Frontier Woman . . . Paint Roller Does Better Job By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE For lack of space, I didn’t fin ish talking to you about sheets last week. Be sure you get sheets that are long enough for the tall persons in your family, if there arc tall ones. That means the longest sheets you can buy, so there will be plenty of tuck-in. A skimpy sheet is a bad buy, any way, even if the folks in your family are all short people for it will be continually pulling out at the foot and sides and ther? won't be an overlap for the top to go over other bedding and protect it. When you consider buying a sheet, take up a small bit of tne fabric and rub briskly between the hands. If the filling rubs ou; and the fabric looks sleazy, it’s a bad buy, and is full of starch and filling to make it look better. The best way to tell is to look at the label and see how many threads there are per inch. Per cale is considered more of a lux ury sheet and muslin usually is the thriftiest buy where pennies must be carefully watched. Then there are towels. It’s tow ■el buying time, too, when the white sales are on. I always like to buy six at a time when buy ing towels, perhaps because they ' • look so pretty stacked in the lin en closet. When you buy towels, if you buy them made by a manufactur- j er whose brand name has an 1 established reputation, you get about what you pay for. The cheaper towels aren’t made as well and they won’t wear as long as the better ones. Towels now come in a rainbow of shades as well as in white — and in all sizes. Buy them to suit your needs. If you wash twice a week you won’t need to stock up on as many as if you do the laundry each week, or every two weeks. The big men in your family will need big bath towels, while you may need a middle sized one. Hand towels are usually satisfactory for all the family for that use, but they, too, come in slightly different sizes. Examine the towels before buying them to see how well made they are. Do they have a satisfactory hem in them, one that won’t whip out after a few washings? Is the selvage well made and strong so that it won’t fray after some wear? Can you [ see through the towel, or is >t thick enough to give you som? t years of satisfactory wear? There are now some towels on the market with reinforcements in the form of extra threads at the points where wear is greatest in the towels. This means they will wear considerably longer before wearing through at the extra wear spots. This is particu larly feasible where hand towels are concerned and you may find them an excellent buy. There are now beautiful dark colored towels. Their drawback is that they should be washed and rinsed alone in separate wa ters because the lint from other towels will settle on them and spoil their beauty. Even a lot of laundering dims their loveliness. If you have an automatic wash er where the water is changed with every load, you can prob ably keep'them lovely. Of if you keep them for infrequent use. It is for you to decide if you can handle them so that they will keep their beauty. — tfw — 'Chatter Box' Wins Prize Subscription— Dear Mrs. Pease: This is a long way from be ing a beautiful day, the wind is blowing and the dirt is going down the driveway. It’s not a j day to work outside, so will try to get you a few lines written this afternoon. Jack Frost has made us a visit long ago. The canning season wound up with a bang last fall. The pickle jars all went to the basement; the big earthen con tainers that held the glads went, too. A few beets were made into pickles, then we called it done. We did not do too much canning last year as we had lots of can ned goods left from the year be fore. The painting that we’ve want ed done for two years, finally was done. We did one room the old fashioned way and decided to use the roller on the other. The one trial convinced us that it surely saved time and did a bet ter job. After finishing the paint ing we washed the roller and cleaned it well and it will last a long time. The woodwork was j varnished before we did the walls and it looks quite fresh now. We are glad it is all done. School time has been here for ~ ~ -— months and it keeps motner Dusy getting new duds for the kiddies. It’s a chore to keep their lunch boxes filled. Sandwiches can be made ahead and frozen and the cookie jar can be filled with dif ferent kinds of cookies. Here is a recipe for good: SOUR CREAM COOKIES One cup brown sugar, one cup white sugar, one cup shortening, two eggs, one cup sour milk, one teaspoon soda, one teaspoon salt, two teaspoons baking powder, two cups sifted flour, two tea spoons vanilla, two teaspoons lemon extract. Cream shortening and sugar. Add well beaten eggs. Add sour milk to which soda has been add ed. Add dry ingredients and fla voring. Mix well until batter is stiff enough to roll. Roll out on a floured breadboard and cut. Bake in a hot oven. I’ll pass along a relish recipe to use during the coming canning season. CARROT RELISH Eight large carrots, twice as much cabbage as carrots, eight large onions, four green peppers, four red peppers. Put all through a grinder, then soak an hour in I boiling hot salt water. Squeeze out well and add the following: Seven cups sugar, seven cups vin egar, one box celery seed, one box mustard seed. Bring to a boil, pour over relish, mix well and seal in jars. ‘CHATTER BOX’ Lynch Navy Man in Role of Santa— LYNCH— Among the escorts j assigned to an underprivileged child at a gala Christmas party aboard the destroyer tender USS Piedmont was Franklin D.
