Ing the progress that I desire. I asked for a raise but was told it was impossible. So last month I opened a little business of my own on the side and am doing quite well. I go to work for the company from 7:30 until 4 p. m. I open my shop at 5 and work ^ until 10. Should I give up my job and run my own little busi. ness during the day? *Vnj: Keep <your job awhile longer. The business is not net. ting you enough to live on as tjejt. h J j.

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 lord and master of her own kit chen—what woman doesn’t ? A. M. E.—I have a family, hus- , band is a minister, so to help out I have fn mind taking a short course in dress making. I have a deal ofl ^experience in sewing already J and want to know if I would succeed and where could I get such a course? Ans: You can add to your present income considerably by taking in sewing.

Everytime I ask ed him about marrying. he’d give me some silly excuse. Now he has moved out and left me Will he come back and marry me? Ans: No—(he won't be back.

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? Ans: No. You bought and paid for the place and the deed is in your name. He can't take | it. If he doesn’t want to live there with you and be pleasant, see your lawyer and take steps 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 happily married and has a family end he would not be influenced at all by your presence there in his community. Give up this silly idea and concentrate on making your husband contented i your own home. He's the one , that you love. --- Live on a Potato One potato will supply 100 calo ries or about one twenty-fifth of the amount of calories recommended for the average adult for daily con sumption.

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? Increases Profits 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, easily marketable, milk. Pittcide, used in a 200 p.p.m. solution for milking and milking equipment, cow's udders, workmen’s clothing, milk house equipment, and as a rinse for bottles and milkers' hands assures greater sanitation. A stronger 1250 p.p.m. solution is recommended for floors, stalls and other parts of the barn, and milk *• .jses. 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. _ _» _ » - - ~ .USED FAT HELPS WASH, j By-products of used cooking fats are needed not only to rfiake soap, but for enamel, insulation and electric wiring of the washer being used by Mrs. Guy Reigler, Kew Garden Hills, N.

HWE SPEEDS UR TO / : /SOOOOFASECOHot M 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.

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.

READ THE OMAHA GUIDE 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 breaking.
