Save by Baking Own Bread
BLANCHE SPANN PEASE. Homemakht? Editor —
Most of us are always looking
for ways to save money. And yet
many are not willing to put forth
the effort for the extra savings.
For instance, you can save
money by baking your own bread.
I know that many, many women
still bake bread but many others
do not and that’s the truth.
And when you bake your own
bread, it usually pays to buy at
least a 25-pound sack of flour
and, if your family has any size
to it, a 50-pound sack is the eco
nomical size. The same is true of
sugar. Watch for the bargains
when sugar is on sale, or try to
Luy it in 100-pound sacks and
you’ll save money.
Bacon squares are usually
cheaper than the fancy sliced
cuts of bacon, and you can have
them sliced at your grocers, If
you prefer them sliced. Bacon
squares or bacon ends are fine
for using for seasoning, too, you
know.
• And, of course, bacon drippings
should never be thrown away.
They can be used most of the
places where you ordinarily use
lard.
• Every week O’Neill merchants
offer you good buys in non-per
ishable foods. Do you take ad
vantage of these buys? Most of

the specials offered by grocers in
their ads are real bargains, al
though not always. Learn to know
the regular price of these staple
items and then you’ll quickly
realize when some good buys are
offered. Stock up when these
items are on sale and your saving
will be considerable.
When you buy soaps, soap flakes
and such, be sure to compare the
giant size box with the price of a
smaller box. Compare the weight
so that you see how much more
you get in the giant box.
Usually if you buy a giant
box, you get enough more soap
for the money spent to give you
a small size box weight free.
This is not always true, but in
many cases it is.
Where items are bought in bulk
and are not perishable, this is
often true, too, so check up on
these things and find out if you
are passing by some ways to save
your money when grocery buying.
Because it does seem to be true
that living costs keep going up.
You will also save money if
you make your own pie and bis
cuit mix, cake mixes, cookie mix
es and such. Not but what the
mixes aren’t very fine, because
they are and they save you time
and labor. But if pennies are very
important you can save them by
doing these things yourself.

‘Cornball’ Wins
Subscription—
Dear Blanche:
First, I must tell you how I
marvel at your ability to write
articles for The Frontier each
week. I’ve been going to write a
letter to you all winter and some
how I never do.
Winter is quickly slipping away
from us, and before we know it
spring will be here. Now is a won
derful time to catch up on one’s
sewing, if that’s possible. Having
four children, two of them girls,
I have quite a lot of sewing to do.
I try to spend a little time each
day sewing and in that way keep
up very well.
The catalogs of all descriptions
have nearly all been sent out, or
maybe I should call them wish
books, ’cause gee, doesn’t one do
a lot of wishing as he looks
through the colorful pages of a
catalog?
Seed catalogs fascinate me, also.
But, unlike you, Blanche, mine is
mostly wishful thinking as my
flower garden never materializes.
At present I’m too busy raising
my four flowers, two of whom are

St. Patrick’s Day Deserves
An ‘Old Country’ Celebration *
Let’s make this St. Patrick’s Day as gay as our most delightful Irish
friend. Whether shared with guests or enjoyed within the usual family
group, this merry day calls for a real celebration. Decorate your table
with fanciful clay pipes, which the children will use later for bubble
blowing. For an added fillip, use cut-outs of shamrock design.
For one platter of refreshments serve homemade cookies. Your family
and friends will especially relish the rich chocolate cookies made with
Pream, the instant powdered cream that is fast becoming a favorite in
modern kitchens. These cookies are one of the many recipes to which
it seems to give added richness and flavor.
