I asked for a raise but was told
it was impossible. So last month
I opened a little business of my

quite well. I go to work for the

I open my shop at 5 and work

M. C. L.—My husband and I
have been married a year. We
live his people. His mother does
all of the cooking. Fact is, she
never lets me help buy any of
the groceries or have anything
to do with the cooking. I don't
like this life. What should I do?
Ans: Look for an apartment 1
of your own. When you and your |
husband get out to yourselves, *
wou will have complete charge
of the kitchen. Meanwhile, do
^ not fall out with your mother,
in law because she wants to be

twenty years ago. I have work,
edhard all these years and five
years ago I bought a little home.
I didn’t see him until this year.
He came in town and begged
me to take back. I did and now
it seems like he is trying to
run me out of my own home.
I see that' I made a mistake.
Can he take my home from me?

to make him move.
L. M. C.—My heart bleeds for
a childhood sweetheart whom I
haven't seen for twenty years.
I wonder if I were to take the
trip that I have in mind would
it turn out as I believe it would ?
Ans: That would be an act of
folly. The man in question is

at all by your presence there in

silly idea and concentrate on

I School days are here again, and
with them the school lunchboxes!
Many friends have told me they
dread the monotony of lunch pack
ing — and that their children con*
stantly beg for “something differ
ent”. Well, I’ve found several
ideas which my family enthusias
tically approve — and I’d like t«
pass them along to you.
• First, for an added touch of col
lor, include some carrots sliced
‘length-wise into thin sticks. It’s
a simple matter to slice enough
carrots for the entire week . . ,
place them in a bowl of water in
the refiigerator, and they’ll stay
crisp and snappy until needed.
Then, when fixing lunches, simply
vrap the carrot sticks in waxed
japer and twist the ends for the
noisture stays inside.
! I always wrap lettuce for sand
wiches in a separate piece of wax
ed paper so the children can in
sert it fresh and crisp into the
^sandwiches when they’re ready to
feat them. That way the lettuce
idoesn't become limp — as it would
if left in the sandwiches for hours.
, Fresh fruit is always good for
•that lunchtime dessert — or a con
tainer filled with apple sauce or
custard — these are nutritious as
well as appetizing.
I save morning time by fixing
jlunchbox sandwiches the night be
fore. By wrapping them in waxed
paper and storing in the refrigera*
tor, I can pop them into lunchboxes
in a jiffy just as the children and
my husband leave in the morning.
We housewives have a dozen pet
jUses for that handy roll of waxed
jpaper . . . but I think that school
'days make us appreciate it more
than ever! Don’t you agree?

PITTSBURGH — Cleanliness at
the source is important to the
profit-wise dairy farmer. Correct
sanitation means less chance of
disease attacking the herd and
thus cutting production and profits,
and it means low bacteria count,

milking and milking equipment,
cow's udders, workmen’s clothing,

COUNCIL, COMMITTEE
TAKE A LOOK
A lot of people deserve the cre
dit. The first suggestion for such
meeting Jvas made by the
Public Relations Committee, Pre
S.idei^ Perry acclaimed ./it and
summoned the Public Meetings
Committee to stage it. And they
did—in a big way. Under "the
chairmanship of Mrs. C. W.
Mead, all sixteen of the commit
tees of the Council of Churches
came together Sept. 9 at the
Y. W. C. A. Fifty-four people
sat dowri together. They saw
fifty-one current projects of the
Council of Churches thrown on
a screen with stereopticon slides,
they heard chairman point with
pride and confess with laughter,
they saw the men and women
who were working on some
other committee as hard as they
were on their own. They went
home promptly at eight o’clock,
asking if they couldn’t have a
chance to tear into the whole
business more in detail — some
other time. There ate grand
people on those committees.

Since I have been asked by a
number of mothers how to safe
guard their infants from anemia,
1 kqow you will be interested in the
findings of Dr. Ruth M. Leverton.
University of Nebraska nutrition!
ist. all
Dr. Leverton has been working
with pediatricians at two Lincoln
and Omaha children’s institutions
in an attempt to find some method
of checking anemia common to ba
bies, and she has discovered that
the addition of meat to the diets oi
babies at six weeks of age is an
effective safeguard against anemia
Dr. Leverton said results showed
that meat not only checked anemia
but actually improved the blood
condition. At the end of eight
weeks, 18 babies whose diets in
cluded meat added to the formula
in the nursing bottles showed an
average gain of 13.3 per cent in
hemoglobin content and a gain of
22.2 per cent in red cell value. ,
* Meanwhile, 15 other babies of the
same age group and general condi
tion, were kept on their customary
meatless formulas. During the test
i period these babies showed an aver
1 a*?e drop of 10.3 per cent in hemo
globin and a gain of 6.2 per cent in
red cell values.
« “Nurses caring for the babies
reported that those, who had been
given meat were generally less
fussy and slept better at night,"
Dr. Leverton said. “The pediatri
cians felt that the babies were in
better physical condition as a re
sult of the meat supplement.”
1 Mothers of today are fortunate
i to be able to obtain ready pre
pared meats for babies—eliminat
ing all the hard workfof cooking,
scraping and straining meats at
home. These meats are approved
by the American Medical Associa
tion and they give haby the extic
proteins and. iron he needs foi
proper growth plus safeguarding
Ins health. And every mother’s
chief concern is in keeping hei
baby strong (and healthy!

PARTY TIME TABLE
The simplicity and charm of
today’s informal entertaining is
expressed in this decorative party
table setting, designed by Miss Ann
Martin, nationally known hostess
authority. Miss Martin says, “If
you’ve been keeping your grand
mother’s cut glass punch bowl in
the storeroom all these years, now’s
the time to bring it into the parlor
because parties with punch are
high in fashion favor.”
‘ Refreshments are served buffet
_ Btyle and may be attractively set
up on a card table, decorated with
garlands of ivy. In keeping with
the grape harvest festivals now
being celebrated, clusters of vari
colored grapes may also be used.
Then, the punch bowl serves as a
centerpiece, with punch cups or
glasses set in a ring around the
bowl. Side dishes hold thin-ctit
sandwiches, small cakes or cookies.

Surich that’s appropriate, refresh*,

Add lemon juice and sugar to taste.

Serve a Breakfast That Spells a Cheery Morning
(See Recipe Below)
Bright Beginning
Do you serve the kind of break
fast th?t demands to be eaten, or are
you content to let the family slip
away with just a sip of fruit juice
and a swallow of hot coffee?
Surveys show that people spend
an average of 12 minutes eating
breakfast. Five
I minutes more
time to eat a
good breakfast
can give added
energy for the
day’s work, and
about a third of
the day’s share
in calories anu
nutrients.
Few women spend the time in
planning breakfast that they give to
other meals. The only way to serve
a good breakfast ' of course, to
plan it in advance. It should be
appetizing and interesting, with
foods prepared carefully and served
appetizingly. There should be con
trast in the texture, flavor and color
of foods to avoid monotony.
Breakfast, too, can have the
glamour that other meals possess.
Bright cheerful dishes and linens
dispel early morning gloom. Flow
ers and other pretty centerpieces
make an attractive setting. The
breakfast table should be set away
from kitchen odors and confusion,
and the setting should be as cheery
as possible. Above all, be cheerful,
yourself!
Use Variety in Fruits.
Fruits-in-season offer a good way
of introducing variety to the break
fast. There "’ill be berries, juicy
and bright-colored, fruit juices, and
then, of course, the fruit itself,
halves of grapefruit, sliced oranges,
luscious pears, peaches, etc.
Incidentally, right now there are
winter pears which are plentiful.
Anjou pears
I which run from
I green to creamy
I yellow in skin
color are juicy
and full-flavored |
reach the peak of ,
their season
aDoux tms time ' ,
and are available until April. The
Nells, which is a russet-skinned,
small and extra-sweet pear, starts
trickling to the market now and will
be available until May. Bose pears
which are russet-skinned, with a
long tapering neck, and Cornice
pears which are similar to the Anjou
are still available, but are passing.
Serve Cereals.
Cereals help add carbohydrate or
energy to the diet, and they are
available in a variety of ways. You
might like a nice hot bowl of cooked
oatmeal or wheat cereal to start
the day, and then again it may
be one of the prepared cereals that
strikes the fancy.
It may be wise to combine the
cereal with some fruit to have pic
ture-pretty cereals for breakfast.
Popular Breakfast Breads.
Toast is our national breakfast
bread favorite, but it should never
Lynn Says:
Ton’ll want these handy hints
for housekeeping: To keep iron
frying pans in good condition,
give them a soda bath occasion
ally. Mix two tablespoons of soda
with two qua its of hot soapy
water. Place toe frying pans in
this and boil gently for a few min
utes. Rinse well and wash in
more soapy water.
Cotton flannel cloths are excel
lent for polishing silverware.
Keep old flannel cloths on hand
and wash them often in hot soapy
water.
Slow drying at a moderate
temperature is best for woolens.
Never expose them to excessive
heat, direct sun rays or freez
ing temperatures.
Place a teaspoon of salt in wa
ter in which eggs are boiled. This
aids in keeping the shell from

stage. Different types of may be
used, and of course, there are nu
merous spreads to entice weary
breakfast appetites. Picture the
pleasure of the family when they
see golden slices of toast with a
dish of cranberry or orange marma
lade that can be spread thick while
the toast is hot Or, cranberry pre
serves, made from fresh berries,
are particularly appealing to morn
ing appetites because of their tart
bright flavor.
