Cookies It" Bee Want Ads Produce Results UK traditional cooky jar, which i has been immortalized in story, is no longer a part of every child a experience at least ot every city child's experience. The word "cooky" now-a-days is as apt to call up the recollection "package" as it is "jar." The packkage means a bought cooky, which weight for weight is as nourishing as the home made sugar cooky, and 25 cleanly made. Also, though we scarcely rea lize it, the plain bought cooky is just about as cheap as the home-made va riety, and far cheaper if one considers the housewife's labor. When we come to flavor, however, the home-made product will usually receive the ma jority of votes in any assembly; hence, because of this superior llavor we shall continue to make cookies in our home. For children there "is no doubt but that cookies arc superior to cake to satisfy tKc craving for sweets. The reason for the prefer ence are, first, that a cooky is hard and induces mastication which com mences starch digestion, and, second, that a crisp food will not form into pasty masses, which are difficult for the digestive juices to penetrate. In Co-Operation. Readers are cordially invited to ask Miss Cross any questions about household economy upon which she may possibly give help ful advice; they are also invited to give suggestions from their expe rience that may be helpful to others meeting the same problems. giving cookies to children one should always remember that the cookies have a high food value and are not just something extra. As with so many other foods dis cussed in this column, a standard cooky recipe, once mastered, can he turned and twisted to produce ap parently different results. PLAIN HI OAK OOOKIKH.

Ogden Armour ODAY, when rising costs have made foods a paramount Issue, it seems an opportune time to lay oeiorc tne senous-imuw.a certain points it is to their self-interest to know. And it is to those who take thought that I wish to speak, glad of the opportunity to present these points to their well-poised judgment T It is not that the facts are today any different than they ever were. But their consideration now has an especial timeliness. Statistics, particularly of the past two years, have ahown something that many have not been prompt to comprehend the basic good faith of Armour and Company to consumers. To fully realize all that this implies, you must understand the economic conditions on which this business is based. The preparation of food for human con tumption it tht oldest batineti on earth. It goes back to the very foundation of history. As a consequence, although people do not always appreciate it, this is the most competitive of ALL industries. Our function is to collect, prepare, transport and distribute foods more capably and at less ex pense than the ever-present competitor can do it. The work of preparing food $tafh la a barinete of natural competition. It alwayi hat been. It alwayi will be. This competition forces two things opera at the lowest.profit, and the giving of the utmost in service. , r or, u proms were excessive, concerns able to operate at lower cost would . quickly capture trade. And if service were in- adequate, those with better .service would win. Thus, the amount of production in a field so highly competitive, must be very significant When you find a bueinee in ttaplee at taining rk, you may be tare that in tome broad, economic way, it make for increattd efficiency and give a fundamental tervice to consumer. In no other way could it con tinue to exist. (Signed) tion The remarkable thing about the American livestock business is that the maximum consump tion is some two thousand miles away from the center of production. Yet, through Armour and Company, it is possible for you, no matter where you are, to set your table as bounteously as if you lived alongside the farm But also remember this! ' Armour and Company did not become of national importance until there wai a national need for their tervice. This need did not arise until the East was no longer able to compete with the West in raising x livestock. Then it was that the public, realizing perishable products sold on small margin cannot be passed long distances through many hands, began to demand more and more of us began to make us strain every effort to keep pace with their needs. But, despite our service, our economies pos sible througn volume and scientific utilization of by-products, our perfection of preparation and marketing, the pay we receive for it all aver ages less than three cents on the dollar in our total year's business. One outstanding fact must, therefore, be obvious to every thinking man. Any Armour and Company may haoe attained, ha been won on a ttraight ban of that highest of all ideal Servtce! I have never deemed myself a writer of ad vertisements. Yet I am willing to have you con sider this message an advertisement, if you will an advertisement for the house founded by my father, Philip D. Armour; for, the motives of this organization have been my life's inspiration and even though sometimes misunderstood, I may say with pride that they have always been true to the best interests of the American people.

FACTORY IN AMERICA READ BEE WANT-ADS The Neglected Raisin Raisins as a food are unappreciated by the average housewife. Although they have a high food value, raisins usually find a place in the menu only in cakes and puddings and are re garded more for flavor than for food. In a table of food values a pound of raisins is equal in nutritive value to six pounds of apples, five pounds of bananas, one pound of bread, four pounds of. milk of two pounds of sugar. The English consume six pounds of raisins per capita each year while the Americans use only one. When properly baked in breads and puddings, raisins give children an al most ideal food as well as satisfying their natural appetite for something sweet. Children crave sweets, and raisins are infinitely more wholesome than most of the candies they buy. Hcsides, they possess an important medicinal value in their laxative effect. Raisins are particularly appetizing when returned as nearly as possible to their original form. This plumping is accomplished by putting the raisins in a 'colander' over a pan of boiling water for twenty minutes or more, or they may be soaked and then allowed to simmer. This should always be done when they are to be used for salads or sandwiches. When used in any cooked form, the cooking takes the place of the plumping. Turtles made from raisins and placed on akes greatly please the little folks at their parties. A log may be made out of a cruller or CHOICE FOREQUARTERS LAMB, LB 137c 15,000 LBS.
